Hoppy Spring!

Still loving on the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP that can be found in the Spring Catalog! Today I’m showcasing the gift bag I made for my hostess in March.

This bag is called a Box in a Bag, and the tutorial can be found on the link.

This pretty paper made it so easy to come up with a fabulous product with minimal effort. All I did was set up the bag, punch and stamp the tag, and then punch and tie the top together!

I used Melon Mambo for the base and the bag top, along with Whisper White for the tag. A bit of Old Olive taffeta ribbon and Whisper White bakers twine held it all together. The frog and sentiment were stamped with the A Little Bit of Spring stamp set, also found in the Spring Catalog. The curly label, tag and scallop border punch made it super easy to prepare all the elements!

 

Here’s a close-up of this cutie frog! He is just so happy and springy and HOPPY!

Easter Basket for Easter Wishes

Today is my last project featuring the A Little Bit of Spring stamp set with a cute mini basket! If you want to have this set to call your very own, you can place an order on my website anytime. You can also use hostess code NWBFTGNS through 3/22 to get orders delivered right to your house in time to make projects before Easter! Don’t forget, it’s a whole month earlier this year on 3/31. ;)

For the project today I created a simple basket you could fill a few Easter eggs in! The basket was stamped with the Starburst wheel in Rose Red ink onto Pink Pirouette card stock.

The tag was made by taking a piece of 1.5 x 3 in folded in half to make the tag base and then the pink added on top. White bakers twine secures the tag to the handle.

The box is made by cutting cardstock into a 6 3/4 x 6 3/4 in square. Score all edges at 4 1/4 all the way around the edges. You’ll end up with your large square that has nine scored squares. Cut two slits on each end down to the center score. You’ll fold those edges up and then hole punch, securing the flaps with a brad.

That wraps up this week using the A Little Bit of Spring stamp set! Don’t forget, you can always order online anytime!

Easter Wishes Carrot Box

I love Easter baskets and all the cute eggs and things that get filled in them! This year I’m whipping up a couple of these easy carrot boxes to put treats in for my kiddos to slide into their baskets. 

These carrot boxes go pretty quickly when you assemble them, and are even easier to decorate. I used the A Little Bit of Spring set to stamp the eggs onto the Pumpkin Pie cardstock, and tied it together with Old Olive ribbon (Spring Mini) and topped it off a punched out tag and the bunny and sentiment from A Little Bit of Spring.

The bunny was colored with blender pens and I used Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and Daffodil Delight to color her in.

You could also do a boy version of this tag with the cute boy bunny included in the stamp set.

This set is great for projects that aren’t Easter related but focus more on Spring. Join me all week for more project ideas!
