it through all that rain and wind to deliver chocolate goodies across the
region!

I stayed
up late adding the final touches to Reilly and JorjaRose’s Easter treats.
The
little Easter Boxes were case’d via Jacque Williams, but altered.
I changed
the circle to a heart, and added personal tags to each Box.
#1 and #3 Jacque's version, #2 and #4 by Kathe
Easter Treat Box
To make
the Treat Boxes, start with cardstock 6”x8 ½”.
Score at
2”, 4”, 6”, 8”
Turn 90 degrees,
score at 2”
Cut the Circle
or Heart using Punches or Framelits, I used the Heart from the “Hearts
Collection” Framelits. I saved the cut out Heart for the Tag.
Assemble
the Box and add the treats, for the closing add a 2”x 2 ½” piece of coordinating cardstock, use the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to add fancy edges
at both ends,
Inside "JorjaRose's Easter Treat Chest"
Tape or
Glue one edge to the box so that the child can get easy access to their treats.
Close the box, punch 2 holes using the Crop-A-Dile, and add some decorative
ribbon.
"JorjaRose's Easter Treat Chest"
The Tag
is made with the cut-out Heart, a second Heart cut from the “Hearts A Flutter” Framelits,
and an initial is cut using the “Typeset Alphabet Bigz” dies, and then layered
on Dimensionals, and tied with Bakers Twine.
Inside "Reilly's Easter Treat Chest"
The little
chicks are made using the Bird Builder Punch, and then re-punching to “dock”
their tails. Sponge with Daffodil Delight, the Small Heart Punch is used to
create the cute little wing, which is then dipped in Dazzling Diamonds, and attached
using Dimensionals.
"Reilly's Easter Treat Chest"
The
kiddies were xtra lucky this year, as they each got 2x Treat Boxes, as well as
a Metal Case {which they can reuse to house their marbles, cars, barbies etc.} containing
8 hollow Easter Eggs, AND a Chocolate Maltesers
Easter Bunny!!!
omg soooo yummy Maltesers Easter Bunny!!!
When I grow
up, just sayin’ I am going to spoil my grandchildren{s}!!!
From one
set of grandparents, the kids received a single hollow Easter Egg, and from the
other set of grandparents, a hologram placemat.
Just
sayin’ …
These
Treat Gift Boxes can be made for any occasion, think Girlfriends, Wedding
Favours, Party Favours, etc.

We were
smack bang in the middle of craft class, when the 1st power cut hit
at 2pm, and we were without power for about 45 minutes.
Luckily
we weren't using any electricity other than lighting on today’s project.
The second
power cut hit at 8.15pm and fortunately all those that had booked for the evening
class had cancelled, as some of the roads were out due to trees falling over!
Thursday’s
class we had a full house with Bev, Jenny, Lizzy, Raewyn, Ruth, and Sue in attendance.
We made a
cute “Envelope Scrapbook Album”, with the help of my new Zutter!!!
I made 3
samples in advance using Designer Series Paper “Watercolor Wonder”, and retired
but available on the Clearance Rack “Beau Château”, “Tea For Two” and this
afternoon, because I couldn’t help myself and it’s Easter, I made another using
the “Cheerful Treat” DSP!!!
The
Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board is used to make 8 envelopes. The cardstock
started out as 6”x6” and matched on the Board to make an envelope to fit a 3”x4”
card. The first score mark is at 2 5/8”.
Crumb
Cake is used for the cover of the Album, and I experimented with stamping in “Sahara
Sand” the “En Francais” and “Hardwood” background stamps.
“Watercolor Wonder” Designer Series Paper
The “Needlepoint
Border” Embossing Folder are featured and brushed with Ink, from either of Island
Indigo, Sahara Sand, and Soft Suede.
“Natural
Composition Specialty” is sponged with Island Indigo or Soft Suede, then the “Scalloped
Tag Topper” Punch is used at both ends. Add some gorgeous “Crochet Trim”, add a
bow of either Bakers Twine or Twine, and add a safety pin from the Vintage Trinkets.
“Beau Château” Designer Series Paper,
retired but available on the Clearance Rack
The Sentiment
is then layered on top …
On “Naturals
White”, the sentiment is from the “Geometrical” stamp set, and hand coloured using
a combination of Old Olive, Island Indigo, and Early Espresso Stampin’ Markers.
Using the “Chalk Talk” Framelits and Big Shot, cut out the sentiment, then add
a cute little Antique Brad, and some Pearls to the “o”s, and then layer on
Dimensionals.
“Tea For Two” Designer Series Paper,
retired but available on the Clearance Rack
A line of
cute ribbon in “Ruffle Stretch Trim” in Baked Brown Sugar, and on the retired
Beau Chateau Album, I have used the retired “Pleated Satin” ribbon in Blushing
Bride, is placed on the bottom edge of the Album{S}. The Cheerful Treat Album,
has Strawberry Slushy Ruffle Stretch Trim.
“Cheerful Treat” Designer Series Paper,
retired but available on the Clearance Rack
After
using the Zutter to bind the Album, I have tied various ribbons in “Stretch Ruffle
Trim”, “Chevron Ribbon” and “Stitched Grosgrain” to the coils.
To finish
the project off, each Album has a matching Pen, with a piece of matching DSP
Cardstock cut 4.5’x1/2” and is placed around the outside of the pen and
inserted into the barrel.
Wah lah “Envelope Scrapbook Album” done!
