Hoppy Easter!!

So I FINALLY got a chance to play with the Mama Elephant Honey Bunny stamp set – and I’m in love!  They are so cute aren’t they?  I created some tags to go with the Easter gifts I made this year for all the children in the family – all 14 of them!!!  I bought some cone treat bags and filled them with orange Millions and some other sweeties and then tied them with scraps of green ribbon.  I also made a card with the bunnies and some dies from Taylored Expressions – the picket fence die, the grass border the cloud dies and flower box dies.  Don’t they all go together perfectly?

I don’t usually show so many photos of a project but got a bit carried away with this one!!  Also, there is a challenge going on over at the Mama Elephant blog at the moment with a cool graphic for inspiration:  I thought the pale blue, green and yellow shades reminded me of the colours in the picture.

Happy Easter

Ok, I know I’m a bit early – it’s not even Valentine’s Day yet!  However, I wanted to share this little gift packaging idea I saw the other day but for the life of me I can’t remember whose blog I was on!!  Please feel free to help me out if you know!!

happy easter gift

I have a medium glassine bag inside filled with Maltesers (yes – just as many went in my mouth as in the bag!!) inside the folded pocket.  The bunny and egg is from the latest release from Clearly Besotted Stamps – Hoppy Easter.  Cute eh?

Thanks for popping by xxx

Fabulous February release peeks at Clearly Besotted

Teaser Time

Hi – here I am again with more glimpses of the fabulous new stamps and dies available in the upcoming February release from Clearly Besotted.  Today I’m sharing a card made with the new Hoppy Easter set – don’t you LOVE that bunny.  The set comes with one large solid bunny and one smaller outline bunny.  I thought she’d be perfect for a spot of paper piecing so pulled out some of my MOUNTAIN of unused and unloved patterned paper and got to work!

So what have you seen so far that’s piqued your interest?  Need more inspiration?  Pop over to see what Steph and the rest of the DT have created to whet your apatite even more!!  And don’t forget – tonight is the night – the release goes live at 10 pm GMT so make sure you’re there as these products do have a habit of flying off the shelves in 10 minutes flat!!

Sorry but I can’t link the patterned papers – they are from Pebbles but are no longer available that I can find!
