You will also receive a 2" x 8" Cello Bag and a 3" x 6" Gusseted Cello Bag, and a FREE Stampin' Pierce Mat to assure consistent stamping of solid images.

Last Minute Basket Bunch Treats

Last minute Lucy that I am I've been rushing to make some Easter treats with the Basket Bunch Bundle that is retiring. My brother is having an Easter egg hunt for the children in the family and I wanted to offer a little something extra.

I started off with some Peeps. My original idea was to mount the Peeps on a skewer and package them that way but you just can't push a skewer through them with distorting the marshmallow. So I kept them as they were in the original packaging of four in a row. You can't tell from the photo but I used Wink of Stella on the die cut bunnies and they really do look like Peeps. I stamped the sentiment with the Labeler Alphabet stamp set. Of course, I just saw in the news where Peeps are at the bottom of the list of favorite Easter candies. Oh well!

When I used to fill my son's and nieces' Easter baskets I would never filled with lots of candy. I would try to come up with some type of theme and find things appropriate for it. One year I did gardening and when I saw these little starter pots at Target for a dollar, I couldn't resist. I picked up 3 strawberries for my great nieces, as their great great grandfather and great grandfather both raised and sold strawberries. There's also a cucumber and tomato starter set.

I also found these cute little items in Target for only a couple of dollars. In the back are little pots that are sort of a mini Chia pet. One is a chicken and the other is a cow. In front is a potential bar of gold. I say potential because inside are some rocks and the packaging says 1 out of every 24 packages will have a piece of gold. The concept is the child hits the rocks with a hammer to crack them open and hopes for the best. They also had silver and I think diamond. Wouldn't that be exciting to get that "1"!

After putting all these together, I found out that many of the children are sick and won't be able to come to the hunt so the last few projects in the basket were basically put in a cello bag and tied with a ribbon. No tags for them but I know the kids won't mind. They can get them later.

I hope your Easter is filled with joy and may the day be one to remember.

An Easter Treat for Someone Sweet!

I like to hand out little treats at Easter to the many small children in my family and I can't resist buying the little miniature chocolates that Lindt makes each year. They're so cute and I got a package of 5 for nearly half price in a local discount store. I only wish they made them in dark chocolate. However, I did find a larger dark chocolate rabbit made by Dove and I think it's solid!

I decided to have some fun with the Basket Bunch Bundle. I made a little box that fits the bunny, stuffed some natural shred material in the box to keep the bunny stable and attached the basket on the front. I colored all the flowers and eggs with the Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. It was just like arranging a real basket of flowers without all the mess!

To keep everything neat and in it's place I packaged them in our 3" x 6" Gusseted Cellophane Bags. I lined the bags with a 2 3/4" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper scored at 2" from the Brights Paper Stack, folded the top of the bag over and stapled a 2 3/4" x 1 1/5" piece of Pear Pizzazz card stock scored at 3/4". HINT: If you staple with the sharp edges of the staple facing the front, you can cover it with the tag so no one gets a finger cut.

If you purchase this bundle and a package of Stampin' Dimensionals you'll qualify for a FREE Sale-A-Bration item. Don't wait until the last minute as your favorite product may have sold out. The Card Tin is already gone! Sale-A-Bration ends March 31!
