Easter treats

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Easter Favors

April 2, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Welcome stampers! Thank for join us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Boy, do we have fun in store for you today!

Our theme this week features favors for Easter. I created sweet little favors that can be used for Easter, Spring party, a shower, Mother’s Day, or whatever day! Just look at these cuties!

These mini flower pots hold a Hershey’s nugget!

The one is missing one to show it empty too!

Super quick and easy to make as well. A sheet of card stock will make 8, or you can create them in singles. For this tutorial, they are single and on my template paper to easily see the measurements and cuts. These work best with a liquid glue or maybe Tear & Tape. I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen for mine.

Pot first –

card stock strip, 2″ x 5 1/2″
score at 1/2″, 2 1/8″, rotate, score the same from other end

in the middle portion, remove 1/4″ on both sides

cut diagonal from inset to under scoreline on all four areas

fold up two center scorelines

fold down 1/2″ flaps, pot rims
adhere fold down, pot rims, with Mini Dimensionals, and possible glue like me, lol, on both sides

Flower next –

punch two flowers (Tulip or retiring Daisy work for this size)
strip for stem, 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
fold stem in half for stability and support, glue together
glue 1/2″ of stem to center of one side of pot
adhere one flower with glue at a time 3/4″ up, also for stability and support

adhere other flower to cover stem
glue pot together along the top only (you will create a triangle from the side)

add bow or ribbon, and tag to outside
insert candy in side
done

Take another look at these! Some from the backside.

I hope you love these treats! Give me a shoutout if you make some! I’d love to see them!

For more treat inspiration, go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great goodies for us!

We will see you next week!

Hippity Hoppy Easter Favor – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

March 24, 2018 · 9 Comments

Happy Create with Connie and Mary blog hop day!

Our theme this week features Easter favors.

Perfect, as I made these sweet little Easter bunny treats for my co-workers and Card Buffet attendees on Sunday.

Aren’t these just too sweet? I originally saw these from a European demonstrator. I modified them to fit American nugget chocolates.

Super, super easy!

Bunny is a strip of designer series paper, 1 x 12. Score at 2, 5 1/4, 6 3/4 and 10. Nugget wrap is 1 x 3.
Use Tear & Tape on the ends, folding in, towards the center on the ends.
The two center score lines, fold towards each other.
On one of the ends, doesn’t matter which one, where the edge is adhered, apply another strip of Tear & Tape.
Stand bunny up, and adhere two ears together.
Wrap nugget and insert in bunny base.
Decorate. I used the Silver Baker’s Twine from the Spring mini to tie around the ears. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes punches with the Classic Label Punch. Pink flower is from the Petals & More atop the trimmed Leaf Punch

The side view shows the beautiful colors of the paper –

It took way longer to write out the directions than it did to whip up a batch of these! it’s a nice favor because you can use any kind of designer series or patterned paper you have on hand. Great for those scrap strips too!

I am so excited to go forward to Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown to see their Easter treats! I might be making even more treats for friends!!!

Framelits – Petals & More (flower)
Card Stock – Whisper White

Ghirardelli Tiny Bunny Treat Holder Tutorial

April 2, 2017 · Leave a Comment

One of yesterdays posts, I showed this little cutie –

Sweet, huh?

I like to create my own patterns because of the challenge. I love that challenge of figuring something out! I bought the candy and designed the holder around it!

Today, I’ll give you a pictorial tutorial how I created it.

Start with a piece of card stock measuring 2 1/2 x 5. (Yes, a blue paper pattern resting on a well used Stampin’ pierce mat!)

Score on the short side 1/2, 2. Rotate and score along the long side at 2, 3 1/4, 3 3/4.

Note : I also scored at 2″ to the 1/2 score mark so I’d know where to cut away. In my pictures it’s already removed.

I made little notches where the creases intersect.

My grass was already cut. I adhered it to the portion of the box using Tombow Liquid Glue, facing out. You can use your favorite strong adhesive though.

At this point, create a basic box. Glueing grass flaps to the back. They do fold easily!

I decorated them after they were finished.

Please let me know what think if you recreate this little holder. I’d love to hear from you!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – none, can you believe it?
Framelits – Basket Builder
Card Stock – Peekaboo Peach, Pink Pirouette, Wisteria Wonder, So Saffron, Pool Party, Cucumber Crush
Other – Silver Glimmer Paper, Tombow Liquid Glue

Happy Stampin’

No foolin’, it’s time to hop around with the wonderful designers at Create with Connie and Mary!

Our theme this week is Easter Treats. Perfect, because Easter will be here before we know it! And, you want to be prepared, don’t you??

I did what anyone would have done. Scour the interweb for ideas. I wanted to create something I hadn’t seen to share.

I then went to the store for some real inspiration. The candy!!!!

In no time, I created these little gems –

I created the holder too!

The grass, egg, and bow was a die-cut, luckily! I have several more of these to whip up for my coworkers.

I’ll post the ‘how to’ tomorrow, Sunday. Please check back. You will want to know how to make these – they are really quick and easy!

If you like them, please leave me a comment.
