Easter Goodies by Corri

Today we have Corri on the blog sharing some beautiful Easter Goodies…

Hi everyone! It’s my turn up on Lori Whitlock’s blog today. Lori just added a bunch of fabulous new files to her shop. I just love this new step card…so pretty and easy to put together. 

I cut the card exactly as sized and added this cute little chocolate bunny and a banner from this set. 

This pretty paper is from the Echo Park – Sweet Girl collection that Lori designed. 

I cut this cute little purse bunny to match.  This would be so adorable filled with some jelly beans for Easter.  I added some box pleat trim for the handle.

Card and Chick by Christine

Today we have Christine showcasing her talents with us…
I love making Easter projects and as soon as I saw the Chick Candy Dispenser, I knew that I just had to cut it out.
I followed Lori’s instructions here on her YouTube Channel to put it together and then added a few of my own embellishments.  Don’t you just love googly eyes?  I think that they add so much personality to my little chick.
The front of the box opens up to reveal your treat of choice.  I had just picked up these yummy Hershey’s Kisses in Easter colors. The front will close and then you carry the box around by the handle at the top.
I added the feathers on the back of the box.  I had to use some really good glue to get them to stick but once they were dry everything was fine. I used orange glitter paper on the beak and the feet.  Sometimes, those little details can really make a project pop!
You can’t have a treat box without a card, can you?  So I looked through Lori’s card files and found this one which I think is perfect.  It gave me a way to incorporate the cardstock that I used on the chick into the card so everything is matching!!  I love how simple it is too.

And since it was so easy to cut out this card, I decided to make a matching envelope.  Again, I used the same yellow cardstock to cut it out.   What fun to have a bright yellow envelope.  I used the fancy envelope.  I love the beautiful flap.  Because I wanted to dress it up even more, I cut out a mat for my flap.  If you want to learn how I did that, please stop by my blog and I will show you how.  It’s really easy!
