Hello to you! I hope you are well, staying safe and staying busy. This might be a great time to get some crafting done. With Easter coming up quickly this weekend I thought I’d share a couple of projects that I made this week. You can see these projects on my Facebook Live from April 6, 2020 – you can watch that here – https://www.facebook.com/325026102188/videos/1368024350047514/
In past years we have had big family events for Easter – sometimes with 35 people at our house. The past couple of years we haven’t done that and this year it will just be Greg and I. I guess it will be just like any other day but I thought I’d make a couple of little treats for the table and I may take some to the neighbors and I’m making cards to send to our family. So let me show you:
Easter Card
This idea came from the back of the Jan-June Mini catalog and I used stamp sets and dies that I already had on hand. The bunnies are colored with Stampin’ Blends – Crumb Cake light and Petal Pink light. The grass die cut was cut into two pieces and trimmed to fit inside the stitching on the Stitched So Sweetly rectangle die. Then I glued them on top of each other and added the bunnies with dimensionals. If you want the grass to look more like grass you can trim off the cat tails but I didn’t want to take the time to do that.

Bunny Treat
I saw this little bunny treat shared online and it is so quick an easy to make with strips of Designer Series Paper. Wrap a hershey nugget or similar candy to go inside the bunny shape. They would make cute little treats to put at the table on Sunday. I’ve made some with the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper and with the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

Spring Umbrella Cone
I made a little umbrella cone project as an alternate idea for the March 2020 – No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin kit. My original project used one of the envelopes to create the cone and then added candy and a tag using supplies from the kit. I decided to make another one using regular supplies that I had on hand. The Daisy punch can be used to make a bunny head and the balloon punch can be used to make eggs. To create the cone – trace a plate on a piece of 6×6 Designer Series paper.

My classes will be a little different for the time being. At the end of March I tried a quick call to go – it was kind of a last minute thing. I’m working on a class to go – or class by mail – not sure what to call it yet. It will feature the new Ornate Garden Suite. I’ll share more about that soon.
