Happy Easter!
Last weekend, I made some little treats to send off to my “kids.” While they are grown up, they still enjoy Easter treats, so I made up small care packages for both of them and their significant others. I have to admit that I didn’t have a lot of time, so these are pretty simple, but at least I got them done and mailed!!! Yay!
Tami White posted some very similar projects on her blog last week, so I figured why re-invent the wheel when I was crunched for time? These cute wood crate boxes make great little baskets! I simply created the crates using the Wood Crates Framelits Dies and Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, and then added a handle measuring 1/2.” I used some old retired mini brads to adhere the handles to the crates. Then, I filled them with Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie.
Next, I chose a color combo to match the treats inside, including Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride, and Marina Mist.
For the boy crates, I used the Wood Words stamp set to create stars and fun sentiments. Then, I used Smoky Slate and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends markers to color White Baker’s Twine and coordinate with the masculine theme.
For the girl crates, I used the Colorful Seasons Thinlits dies to cut out flowers. I watercolored the Shimmery White ones with a little Daffodil Delight ink. Then, I used Pink Pirouette and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to color some Silver Baker’s Twine! I love that you can use Stampin’ Blends to color any white ribbon or twine.
