Avery Elle – Easter Blessings

16.03.2015 by 4 Comments

Hello there and Happy Monday.  I’m popping in today with more goodness from Avery Elle and this time I’m featuring a cute little stamp set called Easter Blessings.  Spring is definitely in the air and signs are appearing everywhere I look – daffs, lambs…rain!

I wanted some nice, soft pastel colours to reflect the new season so embossed the image in white and then used my watercolours to give that lovely soft feel.  For fun I gave the bunnies some cottontails using a REALLY old product from eons ago – white liquid applique.  I forgot how cool this stuff is!  If you haven’t tried it – you apply the liquid to the area and then carefully (it can burn) heat it and it puffs up like fluff!  Great for snow and bunny’s tails!

Hope you have a wonderful week.

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.

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
