How many eggs did you eat already :-) ?

I decided to make a last-minute Easter decoration
at home so here I am today sharing the result ...
An Easter basket.

which is included in the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit...

"Happy Easter" banner comes from Free Easter Paper Downloads

After die cutting the cute box I cut out the top part i.e. the "lid".
In this way I was able to create my basket.

After that I die cut the parts I needed for the basket handle...

The white thin chain-like die-cut comes from Decorative Trim #2 die...

Final result....

For the 4 sides of the basket I die cut the flourish motif ...

I used simply white cardstock which pops up very well ...

The top edges I decorated with die-cut scallops...

Now the basket is ready to be decorated and filled in with eggs....

This is one of the beautiful butterflies included in the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit...

One of the flowers included in the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit...

I adhered in the middle an egg. 

The egg itself is decorated with the heart border from Decorative Bubbles.

Thank you so much for visiting us today!

Enjoy your Easter Weekend with your loved ones!

Easter Gift Jar & Card

Happy Friday everyone,

Last week, I shared with you this little Easter Home Decor Idea. Today I want to share with you a other Easter project. It’s amazing what you can create with the Sizzix Big Shot!

Easter is just around the corner and Sizzix gives you 10 free downloadable papers for all your papercard needs, labels with sentiment are included: Free Paper Downloads for Easter.

For Easter nothing is better that a handmade gift. This Jar Easter Treat Gift and the Card are quick and simple ideas that you can pack along for your Easter Sunday!

 

 

The jars are so versatile and fun! They make great decorations and packages.

 

 

I reuse a jar of honey. I collect these jars and use them for all sorts of fun projects. Then I wash them out and sterilize them in the dishwasher. I also usually paint the lids white. Fill the jars with some Easter candy and embellish with paper and die cut your favorite design. I used Love Bird and Woodland Flower dies design by Craft Asylum.

This is the Easter card I made, using a few of the papers and the Fanciful Fairy die design by Pete.

 

 

I hope you enjoy these.

Happy Easter!!!

Anna

Per le amiche italiane! :)

Buon venerdì a tutti,

La settimana scorsa, ho condiviso con voi questa piccola idea di Home Decor per Pasqua. Oggi vorrei condividere con voi un altro progetto, anzi due!

Pasqua è proprio dietro l'angolo e Sizzix ha pensato di regalarvi carte stampabili a per tutte le esigenze di crap e cardmaking: 10 fogli scaricabili gratuitamente, le etichette con l'augurio sono incluse ;) Scarica qui le carte gratuite per Pasqua.

E 'incredibile quello che si può creare con la Big Shot! E per Pasqua ci aiuta a creare tanti bei pensierini fatti a mano.

Questo vasetto accompagnato da un biglietto, ad esempio può essere un piccolo regalo per Pasqua. Idee semplici che si possono realizzare velocemente per la vostra Domenica di Pasqua!

I barattoli di recupero sono così versatili e divertenti e si possono fare delle fantastiche confezioni regalo, senza spendere troppo ;)

Io ad esempio, ho riutilizzato un barattolo del miele. Metto da parte questi vasetti e li uso spesso per “inventarmi” dei regalini. Dopo averli lavati, di solito pitturo i coperchi di bianco. Qui ho riempito il barattolo con gli ovetti di cioccolato ed ho decorato con le carte e le forme tagliate con le fustelle. Ho usato Love Bird e Woodland Flower disegnate da Craft Asylum.

Questa è la card di Pasqua che ho creato, utilizzando sempre alcune delle carte stampabili gratis e la fustella Fanciful Fairy disegnata da Pete.

Spero che questi lavori vi siano piaciuti e vi possano aiutare nei lavori last minute di questi giorni.

Buona Pasqua!!!

Anna

A beautiful vanilla, raspberry and white chocolate easter cake

Hi everybody!

One of my favorite annual traditions is that which involves to godfathers buying a typical Easter cake to his niece; this cake is called Mona and usually is topped by chocolate eggs.

Besides the cake and chocolate eggs, usually it come with beautiful trimmings and some toy figure. Is not that wonderful?

If we are among the most daring that we like to handmade it , we can also decorate with die cut paper elements

here some details of my proposal for this year, hoping that the person that is going to receive it as a gift is not seeing this blogpost at this moment (fingers crossed!)

Happy easter again and be happy!

The Sizzix products I'm using in this tasty project are:

Una de mis tradiciones anuales favoritas es la que hace que los padrinos compren un típico pastel de Pascua a su sobrina; este pastel se llama Mona y por lo general está coronada por huevos de chocolate.

Además de la tarta y los huevos de chocolate, por lo general viene con hermosos adornos y alguna figura de juguete. ¿No es eso maravilloso?

Si estamos entre los más atrevidos que nos gusta lo hecho a mano, también lo podemos decorar con elementos de papel troquelados

Podéis ver algunos detalles de mi propuesta para este año, con la esperanza de que la persona que lo va a recibir como regalo no está viendo este blogpost en este momento (crucemos los dedos!

Happy Easter

Hello everybody,

Today, I am suggesting to prepare the Easter holiday by decorating a small egg box and to associate it with a card.

I kept this small box which contained 4 eggs with in mind to decorate it, fill it with chocolate eggs and offer it during Easter celebrations.

I chose to paint it using a slightly spangled pink bomb: on all surfaces, inside and outside.

The benefit of this technique is the speed of realization, within 5 minutes it's done. But it is necessary to do this in a safety way: outside or in a well-ventilated place, wearing a mask and gloves.

Let dry the box outside. Then, it's time to decorate...

Please yourself with the pretty colours of the spring! I used papers and printable labels Sizzix, which you can download for free here

I have added flowers cut in pink, yellow and fuchsia Bazzill, using the Die Flowers in 3D. This gives a lot of pep and volume to the decoration of this box.

The box closes with a small ribbon. Do not hesitate to play with the theme by adding small eggs or rabbits.

You can also decorate the inside and leave a personal message….

For the card, I used the same papers and technique for the flowers and I used the Die Leaves to create a foliage in a green Bazzill.

Here is for this Tuesday, I wish you a happy Easter holiday!

Supply list:

658300:  Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit
656545:  Sizzix Big Die - Flowers, 3-D
657119:  Sizzix Big Die - Leaves

Paper, Alpha, Chipboards & stickers: Bella Boulevard
Strass & Doily: Scrapboukits
Cardstock: Bazzill
Paper: Easter collection Sizzix

Thank you and bye for now,

Joyeuses Pâques 

Aujourd'hui, je vous propose de préparer les fêtes de Pâques en décorant une petite boîte à œufs et de l'accompagner d'une carte.

J'ai récupéré cette petite boîte qui contenait 4 œufs, pour la décorer, la remplir d'oeufs en chocolat et l'offrir à l'occasion des fêtes de Pâques.

J'ai choisi de la peindre à l'aide d'une bombe rose légèrement paillettée: sur toute sa surface, intérieur comme extérieur. L'avantage de cette technique est la rapidité d'execusion, en moins de 5 minutes c'est fait, mais il faut faire ça dans les règles de l'art, c'est à dire de préférence à l'exterieur ou dans un endroit très aéré, en portant un masque et des gants. Laisser sécher aussi à l'exterieur.

Ensuite, il suffit de décorer... Faites vous plaisir avec les jolies couleurs du printemps, j'ai utilisé les papiers et les étiquettes imprimables Sizzix, que vous pouvez télécharger gratuitement ICI

J'ai ajouté des fleurs découpées dans sur Bazzill rose, jaune et fuchsia grâce au Die Flowers 3D ce qui donnent du pep's et du volume à la décoration de cette boîte.

La boîte se ferme avec un p'tit ruban et n'hésitez pas a jouer avec le thème en ajoutant des petits œufs ou des petits lapin.

Vous pouvez aussi décorer l'interieur et y laisser un petit message personnel....

Pour la carte, j'ai utilisé les même papiers et la même technique pour les fleurs, j'ai utilisé aussi le Die Leaves pour créer un feuillage dans du Bazzill vert.

Voilà pour ce mardi, je vous souhaite de très jolies fêtes de Pâques.

Merci et à très bientôt

I needed 5 eggs because of the word "happy" 

so I added a white egg in the middle....

When my stamped eggs were ready I adhered them on front of the card.

After that I added the letters H-A-P-P-Y on top of each egg.

I die cut the splats and honeycomb from white cardstock

and distressed them just a bit with yellow ink to match the title.

Easter Treats Gift Box

Easter is just a week away! I am hoping to spend the weekend relaxing and I'm crossing my fingers for some Spring sunshine.

I love crafting for Easter as the pastel colours really suit my tastes. So today I'm sharing this cute pastel coloured Easter Treats Gift Box - the perfect place to hide all your chocolates.

Supplies needed:

• Big Shot Plus Starter Kit 660515
• Thinlits Plus box die (included in Starter Kit)
• Free printable Easter Papers
• White card stock
• Foam sticky pads
• Bone folder
• Double sided sticky tape
• Hot Glue Gun
• Ribbon
• Shredded tissue paper
• Chocolate Eggs!

Using the free Easter printables, I printed the tulip pattern onto white card stock. I then cut out my box template using the Thinlits Plus box die.

I used a bone folder to run over the creases of the box folds.

Then assembled the box using double sided sticky tape.

I added shredded tissue to make a nest for my chocolate eggs and fixed the Happy Easter slogan to the front of the box with foam sticky pads.

I hot glued a ribbon onto the bottom of the box, so it could stay in place when tied and untied.

Tie the ribbon and your box is complete!

The perfect way to hide your chocolate egg stash.....or maybe make these into gifts for your friends and neighbours.

I hope you all have a very Happy Easter if you are celebrating where you are!
