Easter Egg Treat Holder

| marialrussell

This treat holder is so cute, you can basically create this for any occasion.  I love the new Scallop Tag Topper Punch but if you don’t have the punches that I have on this video, please use what you have.  This is just an example and you can use other punches to create a decorative edge to your card stock.  I have used my decorative label punch, scallop punch and even my blossom punch.  You just need to insert the edge of your card stock to your punch, line it up slowly to make sure the card stock is in the middle of the image, then punch! Easy, peasy!

Blushing Bride Card stock (Item No. 131198)
Cut at 2 inches by 11 inches (base)
Cut at 3 ½ by 3 ½ (middle piece that will hold the egg securely)

Owl Card – A Blooms & Butterflies Color Challenge No. 23

| marialrussell

Even though I made a “male” owl card version on the video using Pool Party, I will be showing the card that I made intended for our Blooms and Butterflies Color Challenge No. 23 (Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla and Real Red).  I originally filmed this video showing you the pink owl intended for the color challenge but for some strange reason, the video had a really bad audio and so I had to re-film this again.  I did not have enough pink pirouette card stock leftover to recreate the one that I previously made, which is why I had to use a different card stock to demo how I made the card. This was explained on the video.

The Blooms & Butterflies Team was given a task to create a card using the colors Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla and Real Red. I have filmed my color submission yesterday but for some reason, the audio was not clear. Since I wanted to redo another tutorial but I don’t have any Pink Pirouette leftover from a previous order anymore, I am using Pool Party on this video. However, the materials that I will be mentioning below would be what I used for the color challenge no. 23.  Here they are:
