Saturday Blog Hop – Easter Favors

By | Leave a Comment

This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is Easter favors!  I seem to always wait until the last minute to do my table favors.  This sweet little box designed by Brenda Quintana was just too cute not to recreate for this Easter favor blog hop!

DAFFODIL DAYDREAM

These little boxes are made from the label in the Hippo & Friends Dies (I know!  I’m obsessed with these Dies right now!) and will hold quite a bit of candy!  But I refused to go buy any Easter candy this soon.  I will just EAT it and I’m trying to be good!  I’ll wait until the day before Easter and grab something for these boxes, then make sure none stay at my home!  lol!

Stampin’ Details:

  • Two of the largest shaped labels in Hippo & Friends Dies were cut from So Saffron cardstock for the top and bottom.  They were embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder.
  • The top side of the box is 2 x 10-3/8 Hand-Penned Designer Paper, scored at 3/8 on the short side and 3-1/4, 5, 8-1/4, 10 on the long side.
  • The bottom side of the box is 2 x 10-1/16 Basic White cardstock, scored at 3/8 on the short side and 4-7/8 and 9-3/4 on the long side, FLIP 180 degrees and then score at 2 and 6-7/8.
  • Fold all the score lines, adhere the short tab to the opposite of each and then add the DSP to the top label and the Basic White to the bottom label.
  • Add 1-3/4 x 3-1/4 piece of matching DSP to bottom of Basic White box to finish the bottom on the inside.
  • The daffodil from Daffodil Day was stamped on scrap Basic White with Memento Black Ink and colored with So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.  It was cut with the Daffodil Dies.
  • The Easter sentiment was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White, then cut with the small Hippo & Friends Die.  They were added to the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Matte Decorative Dots were added to the background.

 

Here are a few photos of the steps:

Well, only about 15 more of these to make for Easter dinner!  I think I’ll do them up in a variety of Easter egg colors!  Great way to use up some retiring designer paper…you can get 6 from each 12×12 sheet!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

IM210 – Daffodil Daydream

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  Isn’t this a beautiful daffodil cake, perfect for a spring wedding or birthday?

 

DAFFODIL DAYDREAM

Another new set in the Jan-June Mini Catalog is the beautiful Daffodil Daydream Bundle!  I love the stamp images, but the dies are pretty awesome as well!  For this card, I opted to use just the stamps with the die to cut it out, and then the cute little butterfly dies.

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder and added on top.
    • Two 1 x 3-1/4 pieces of Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper was added on the right side towards the bottom.
    • The daffodil cluster was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock, then colored with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  It was cut with the Daffodil Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The Happy & Heartfelt greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink and cut with the Stitched Rectangle Die, then added across the stems with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow, then added under the greeting.
    • The butterfly was cut from Pale Papaya cardstock and the body from Flirty Flamingo cardstock and added to the background with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

I really love how this card turned out, especially the details of the Stitched Rectangle around the greeting and the Linen Thread.  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
