Easter Candy Bar Holder

Hi friends.  Trying to finish up Easter cards and little gifts today.  I made these pocket candy bar holders for two little friends of mine of Easter.  I saw the chick on Pinterest, but no directions, so just winged it from the picture, and the bunny, I just played with some punches until I got a look I loved.

I am sure they will love the candy more than the little pockets, but will enjoy getting them anyway.

I just cut a 41/4 by 11 piece of cards stock

scored at 41/4  from one end and folded it

up to create the pocket.

Cut a large tag from card stock, 

Used a Spellbinder's die for the scalloped heart

for the face, ovals for ears, pink inserts hand cut.

Circles for eyes and nose.

Whiskers were made with Martha Stewart fringe scissors.

Feet are ovals and small dot punch.

Piece of faux fur between the ears.

Baby chick is smaller, but made the same way.

wings, fee and beak are cut by hand.

Oval belly, run through embossing folder.

Tuft of yellow yarn from my stash. Black pearl

eyes

These were fun.  A sheep would be cute too, but I am running out

of time, so will keep that idea for another time.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great day.

Until later.................

SUGAR EGG

Hi friends.  Cold and an inch of snow.  What the heck!!  So tired of this weather.

I started this card a few days ago, and finally finished it.

Do you remember those delicate sugar eggs at Easter that had a plastic window

with an Easter scene inside? 

This is an Inkadinkado stamp that is probably 20 years old.

It has been in the draw for probably 15 years.

A few days ago I took it out and sat it on my desk with the

intention to make a card.  So glad I did.  The index on the wood block

is very dark colors and quite unattractive, but it stamps beautifully

and I had such a good time coloring it, glittering it and making a card with it.

My finished card

I colored the egg with Copics.

I used a small paint brush to put white craft glue

on the parts that are sugar, then added a coat of glitter, I used

a white sparkly glitter so the color showed through.

I stamped the stamp again on white card stock and cut out the

part that is the scene and then used that as a pattern to cut a piece of acetate

to look like a window.

The die and flower is Spellbinders.  The greens die is  A Cut Above

Designer paper is a scrap from another Easter long ago.

I am entering this card into the following:
