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!
