Easter Cards and Gift Cartons for the kids - Basket Bunch

Welcome once again Crafters

I am continuing on from yesterdays post about Some Bunny Sweet card using the Basket Bunch bundle.

I created a matching card and gift carton yesterday as a request for another site I am on. This idea had been floating around for a day or two for my children for Easter gifts.

Well I got to it and created their gifts this afternoon

 Here they Both are.
They are going to LOVE them :)

You're Egg-stra Special and Some Bunny Sweet

I have 3 children 24, 8 and 6.

The two youngest are boy and girl respectively. They both love my cards and gift and to make them feel a bit special I made these for them both.

If you click HERE you can see the original post and a picture of my children..

You can see all the colours that I used beside this open card picture above.

For the cartons I first made a cylinder, glueing and fast fusing the edges inside so they were facing each other. I then pinched one end shut and fastened with tear and tape and a spot of multi purpose glue (Tombow). I then filled the cylinderswith cadbury caramel  eggs and closed. 

Attaching tags to the tops to finish. 

To create the tags, I used the That's the Tag bundle.

water coloured Images

I made a quick FB live video while I was creating these water colour images for the cards. 

You can click HERE to view the video and see some of the water colouring being done.

I stamped them all first on a thick whisper white A4 sheet. Then coloured and die cut them. The ones I didn't use I put inside a ziplock bag and placed inside the stamp case for later use.

Sponged backgrounds

I sponged the backgrounds and then mounted them onto the bases using dimensionals.

Somebunny Sweet - Basket Bunch

Welcome back crafter's

Well it's nearly Easter here in Tassie. 

#Basketbunch #Thatsthetag #Eastertreats #KOCreationscards #Madewithlove #Giftofgiving #Chocolatesinabag #Giftbagofgoodies

For me, that means I will have my children home for around 2 weeks...So my  blog posts will drop off just a little bit...I am trying so very hard to get in front for you though and schedule a couple in advance.

This well enable me to spend some quality time with the kidlets and keep some posts happening for you all too... so, fingers crossed.

 Heres a selfie my two took on my phone of themselves lol
They thought they had deleted it hahaha KIDS!

My kidlets are boy 8 and girl 6, I also have a 24yr old but he is no longer of the age where easter bunny is very important in his life lol

I am part of a little selling group, and was asked to create an easter theme product to sell on the weekend. 

I used this opportunity to practice creating something I had in mind for the kids for Easter Morning. 

They love receiving lovely hand made treats from Mum and Dad. 

So I used the request as my trial run for what I had in mind for them both...It really came together so well.

I was a little stumped as to what to put on the card front to start with, the whole gorgeous stamp set from Basket Bunch wanted to jump on there lol. 

But, I was saved!

 I saw a gorgeous card made by Paula Dobson.
She made a gorgeous pile of eggs and lightly sponged her background. So I CASEd Paula and this is what I came up with.

Thank you Paula xx

An Easter Treat For Somebunny Sweet

The card base is Cucumber Crush which is a soon to be retired colour :( 

I sponged onto Thick Whisper white using torn paper as a mask to create hills in the background. Other colours used for sponging and colouring were Crushed Curry, Tempting Turquoise, Peekaboo Peach, Perfect Plum and Melon Mambo.

I stamped all of the images onto a sheet of whsiper white, then coloured them all. Once completely dry I die cut them using the matching framelits.

I created a carton style gift bag using the Affectionately Yours DSP in Cucumber Crush. I filled it with chocolate eggs, just like the ones you see laying around the base of the card, before sealing the top closed. 

I used the That's the Tag bundle for the base of the tag and stamped in Cucumber Crush ink the dots around the edge. 

I actually hand printed EASTER along the bottom. I tied the tag on with Cucumber Crush Thick Bakers twine.
