Easter Treat Bags

Stash or cash -- I am a long time member of the Spellbinders monthly Small die of the Month club and the Large die of the Month club. Both die sets for the monthly club in February are Easter related. This first die set is the Large die of the Month - "Spring Specs":

and the packaging has a photo of an assembled project using this die set:

This is a larger die set and can fit the front of an A7 card. I wanted to use it for the front of my treat bags I am making for Easter. The brown bags I had in my stash and I used card stocks from the stash. The pink trim was on sale at Hobby Lobby and I used that at the top of my bags. All clear crystal blings are from the stash. Here is one of the bags:

For this bunny I used mirror black card stock for her eyeglass frames. Here is a better photo of that:

In this above photo you can see the glare of the ceiling lights in her eyeglasses. I used a clear sheet to cut a circle for her glasses so they would have a more real look to them. This die set has dies for all the flowers and greenery and I used scrap card stocks for those. Cut the bunny head and body out of #110 weight white card stock from the stash from Mikes. I sponged the edges of the bunny pieces using gray ink. Cut out all my flowers and greenery and used inks on those as well. Adhesive used for this project is liquid glue with some pop dots and the bunny has foam tape behind her for dimension.  I made a couple of bags with the bunny having the black eyeglass frames. Here is another bag where her eyeglass frames are cut out of glittered pink card stock from the stash:

and these frames were cut out of holographic card stock from the stash:

IRL this is very shiny and you can see all the colours clearly. For all the bag fronts I used this die set from SimonSaysStamp for "Happy Easter" and I cut that out of the craft foam from the stash using white card stock scraps and I layered those using the liquid glue:

I also used the larger grass border die set I had recently bought from Wafflerflower.com for the grass piece at the bottom of the bag:

From the stash I used a very old carrot die set from Oriental Trading and I also used an old butterfly punch from M. Stewart for my pink glittered butterfly:

Here is a photo of this Large die set of the Month and it has a lot of pieces to it and the flowers and greenery dies can easily be used on other projects besides Easter:

The silver trim I added to the pink Hobby Lobby trim at the top of the bag is from the stash and I bought that a few years back at Dollar Tree when things were actually one dollar...... Fun die set to assemble and it makes a cute Easter decorated treat bag!

Egg Hunt Easter Card

I am a member of the club of the month from Waffleflower.com and in January I received that club of the month product. It was the postage Egg Hunt stencil set. TOOOO cute and I was happy when their new release for Feb 2026 had more of the Egg Hunt products..... I bought their Basket Sentiments combo that has both stamps with matching dies, the Tall Grass die set, the Grass Texture cover plate die, as well as the Postage Collage Egg Hunt Icons die set. Here is one of the cards I made using this new release as well as other die sets from my stash and card stocks from the stash:

Here is the Basket Sentiments set:

the Tall Grass die set on the right next to the Grass Texture cover plate:

For the grass inside my basket I used the Grass Lawn die set from Divinity Designs along with the Carrots die set from IOStamps (ImpressionObsession):

and a photo of the Postage Collage Egg Hunt Icons Die set:

For my cards my card bases are cut and scored at the top. Used plaid and printed card stocks from my 6x6 card stock stash for the card fronts. The white doily was die cut using the Sunny Studio doily die set:

For my green card fronts I did not want to use a bright lime green card stock so I used a mint green card stock instead. I die cut the Grass Texture cover plate die and I used my deckled edge trimmer to cut all green pieces to the size I wanted for the card fronts. I used the Tall Grass die and cut those out of mint green card stock also and I sponged a darker green ink over that to add a darker green to that piece. I used the deckled edge trimmer to trim that at the bottom so it would match the deckled edges of my green card stock front pieces:

Put on a RomCom movie and did all the die cutting for these cards using scraps and card stocks from the stash. Then I assembled the card fronts. Once I got those all done the card front looked flat so I decided to use white splatter and put that on the green card front.... but all card fronts were already assembled..... so I pulled out a Spellbinders rectangle layering die det and cut a rectangle from scrap white card stock and laid that over the front of the cards just showing the green fronts and then I splattered the and they turned out well:

Layered all my pieces and sponged edges of the egg pieces and then used small stencils from the stash to add designs to the eggs:

Fun card to assemble and good use for scraps!! Chicks are on foam dots for dimension and I used a white gel pen on their eyes. Happy to get more use from scraps and more use of products/dies I already have in my stash....

Romantic Valentine Card

 Made this Valentine's Day card using a new die set from Scrapdivadesigns.com called Romantic Heart:

I used a doily die set from the stash from My Creative Time on the front of the card:

I used matte red foil card stock from the stash for the foiled heart layers:

For Valentine treat holders I used all dies and card stocks from the stash:

I used this older Spellbinders die set to make a box for Hershey nugget candies and I added washi tape from the stash to the top and bottom of each box:

Used a pizza box die set from PixiDust Designs from the stash for the pizza box and I made rosettes for the tops of the boxes:

Also used an old lollipop die set from My Favorite Things (MFT) for my Tootsie Pop holders:

Here is a photo of one of the treat bags I had made using bags from the stash and card stocks and dies from the stash:

Also a Valentine's Day joke from the radio:

Two guys, who do not know each other, stopped at the grocery store after work on Valentine's Day. They both headed over to the Valentine's Day floral display.... one guy says out loud:

"This is a lot of money to spend for something that is just going to die"

Other guy replies out loud:

"Yeah.... but she really likes flowers....."

Faux Ribbon Woven Easter Card

Had seen Holly on the YouTube channel for Karen Titus show her Faux Ribbon Woven card technique so I made a card for Easter using her inspiration and tips. Here is my Easter card:

Cash or stash -- all products I used for this card were in the stash so happy to get use out of more craft room items..... My card base is a peachy pink card stock. For my faux ribbon strip on the left side of the card front I followed Holly's instructions and I used a grid pattern. She used grid paper for her grid but I do not have any grid paper. I do have extra grid sheets I had bought at Staples long ago to make grid sheets for my Mistis so I have those on hand. Following her pattern I made a grid for this faux ribbon technique:

Using her instructions I wrote notes and I will keep those with the grid sheet so when I use this technique I will have all instructions with my grid:

Using pink card stock as my base I looked through my double sided card stock stash and found a small printed card stock with pink in it. I cut my strips as she instructed - I cut them 1/2" wide by 6" long and then I cut those in half so all my strips were 1/2" x 3". I put those on my 2" x 5 1/2" white ribbon base using my ATG. With that panel done I put the panel on a light pink base cut just a little wider than my ribbon base for the card front. Set this aside. 

As she does in her video one of her cards she used a paper doily and I have one left in my stash so I also used my white doily cut in half for my card front. Used a 3" circle punch and punched out a yellow gingham circle for the card front. To make this gingham print circle more sturdy I also punched out a white card stock scrap and put that behind the gingham circle using liquid glue. For the bunny I used this die set from my stash:

I cut him out of white card stock and assembled him sponging the edges of his pink ears and pink nose. I also cut out a second white card stock bunny to put my bunny on to make it sturdy. Using gray ink I sponged the edges of the bunny piece. For the eggs and carrot behind my bunny I used two dies from the stash from Impression Obsession/IO Stamps:

Both dies cut out multiples so I have extras for other projects. Used scraps to cut these dies out and used matching inks to sponge the edges of them all. For the card front I used the ATG to put my faux ribbon panel on the left card front over a paper doily I had cut in half and I put that on the right card front using liquid glue. With the panel and doily on the card front I put my gingham circle over both the doily and panel piece - I turned the circle so my gingham check would look like it is on the diagonal. I used thinner foam tape behind the bunny. I did not remove the foam tape backing yet as I laid the bunny onto the circle piece for placement while I used liquid glue to put my four eggs and one carrot where I wanted them to be behind the bunny. With those in place I removed the backing of my foam tape and placed the bunny in place on the gingham circle. 

For the greeting I used Prom Queen ink by Simon Hurley and this Easter stamp set:

North Coast was affiliated with Our Daily Bread Designs stamps and that company is now called Divinity Designs. I stamped the "Happy Easter!" on scrap white card stock using pink ink and I cut that out using a banner die set from Divinity Designs. Used a scrap of pink card stock to put the greeting on and put that sentiment strip across the front of the bunny using tear n tape. Added yellow gems from the stash. 

IRL you can see the dimension of the bunny being on foam strips but it does not show well in the photo of the finished card:

Fun ribbon technique. Altho I used double sided card stock you could easily use single sided papers that compliment each other as well.. Very easy technique to add to a card front and a good use of scraps and small pieces of card stock. Thanks to Holly for sharing her tips and pattern! 
 

Bunny Rosette Easter Embellishment

Used the KS Crafts Egg Rosette die set from their Jan 2026 release for these Easter embellishments:

Stash or cash - the KS Crafts Egg Rosette die set was the last die set I had bought from their Jan release. This egg rosette I made is the small one and it measures approx 3" high x 2 3/4" wide. For all my rosettes I used plaid printed card stock from the stash. Here is the die set:

I cut the two pieces and folded the rosette and used tear n tape to put the two strips together. I used hot glue to form the egg rosette:

As with all the rosettes I make I use my little tool I put together so I do not burn myself touching the hot glue - this is a sponge handle that I attached a circle from a brown craft mat to the bottom using E6000 adhesive and once I add the hot glue and press down the rosette into the glue I use the tool I made to press it all together and hold it until the hot glue cools:

With all the rosettes cut out, attached and formed, I then wanted to use sparkle tulle on the rosette. I used the KS Craft Eggs die set I just used for my Eggs and Ovals Easter card and I used one of the dies to trace the shape onto scrap white card stock and cut that out with scissors for a pattern piece so I could cut out the tulle to the egg shape. Here is the pattern pieces I cut out and I will keep with the die set for use again:

With the rosettes formed I hot glue two pieces of the sparkle tulle to the front of the rosettes and this will be behind the bunny. For the bunny I used a die set from the stash:

I cut all the bunnies out of white card stock, ears, nose, and cheeks were cut out of scrap pink card stocks. Black scraps were used for the eyes. I put all face pieces on bunny and I wanted the bunny to be sturdy so I cut out a second bunny from white card stock to adhere my bunny to. I used liquid glue to put the two bunny pieces together. Here are items I wanted to put on my rosettes:

The flower dies are from the bunny set I used and the carrot is a die from Impression Obsession/IO Stamps. I used all scraps to cut those out and used liquid glue to assemble them. When you make rosettes in any shape the highest part of the rosette is where the hot glue is that joins your pieces together to make the rosette shape. So to assemble this - I formed the rosettes, put the tulle pieces on the front of the rosette. Used liquid glue and put the carrot behind the bunny on the side. Behind the eyes of the bunny I put pop dots to level the bunny off since his body is over the hot glue where the rosette holds together and that is the high point of the rosette. Used hot glue to put the lower body of the bunny onto the rosette.

For the flowers I used liquid glue and put those onto the bunny and then used liquid glue to add the bow and crystal gem to dress the bunny up.... since this is not a circle rosette I want it to keep its' shape well so I used the Eggs die set again and cut out an egg using white card stock to go behind my rosette to make it sturdy:

The back of the rosette before egg backer added:

Used liquid glue to add this egg backer piece:

This backer piece will also be good when I attach this embellishment to a project and it also will keep the egg shaped rosette. Easy rosette to assemble and a fun embellishment for Easter:

Can easily add a sentiment strip or use them as is. Happy to also be able to use more card stock scraps on these as well.
