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!

Materials used:

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)
