Easter Bunny Cricut Lolly Pops and Chocolate Covers

HAPPY EASTER

Easter Bunny Cricut Lolly Pops and Chocolate Covers

Its been ages since I have done a blog post that wasn't related to the Colour Dare Challenge, but I created these Easter Bunnies and chocolate bar packages on my Cricut Design Space (and cut, score and drawn on my Cricut Maker) for Easter Gifts for my family and wanted to share here. 

The Easter Bunny Lolly Pop holders were designed by me using the Cricut® Daisy Meadows Collection on Cricut Design space. Anyone who purchases this collection for me can get this template for FREE, I will include the cricut design for the chocolate box too. Send me a message and I'll send you the Design Space link. 

I also created these chocolate bar holders for Chocolate bars that fit 180g chocolate bars. I was inspired by Laura Beacham's Easter Bunny chocolate cover. I used retired cardstock and my 14yr old daughter helped me choose and we had the Cricut draw the family members initials on their chocolate bars (couples had to share a block). Then I put a belly band around them with Daisy Meadows Bulk Paper Packet which is still available = I used a 1.5 inch x 10 inch strip of Daisy meadows bulk paper. I used the red CTMH Adhesive Tape to adhere the bottom and side of the chocolate box and then I left the top flap of the boxes without adhesive so they could easily access the box and hide things inside it - no one needs know how much chocolate is hiding inside.

July 2015 SOTM Blog Hop Life is Wonderful

Hello and welcome to our Stamp of the Month Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop. We have all been creating with "July 2015 SOTM Life is Wonderful" Stamp set. If you have arrived here from  Shaunna Richards, Passionate About Pages then you are in the right place. If you landed here another way, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. Follow the links, check out all the amazing ideas and eventually you'll come right back to where you started.

Today I would like to share with you my double page spread which features the Life is Wonderful – July 2015 Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout June for $27 or you can get this stamp set for FREE when you spend AUS $32.50 on full priced stamp sets from the current catalogue. Such great value and its a really uplifting stamp set.

This week my kids were on the front page of the local newspaper and again on page 8 of the paper with the follow up story. So I wanted to do something with the cuttings from the newspaper.  I got the My Crush™ Wildwood Assortment as my embellishments on the page. The Assortments have some small journalling boxes, some stickers and some small alphabet stickers, There are also envelopes and little tags to fit inside the envelopes but I didn't use these on my pages. This set will be retiring when the current catalogue ends so be quick to grab this nifty little bargain alongside your Life is wonderful stamp set. 

My Crush Wildwood Assortment

 The first thing I did to make my double-page spread was pull out 2 pieces of 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock  and with Chocolate Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad I stamped the corner flourishes, in opposite corners (there is a left hand and a right hand flourish). After the corner flourishes I stamped the arrow five times up each side. I really like the arrow because it has the rough pencil line to make it look rustic. The whole stamp set has an old world charm. 

Still using the Chocolate Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. I stamped the "always remember something wonderful is about to happen" stamps onto one of the Journalling boxes (red with the arrow on top) from the My Crush™ Wildwood Assortment. 

When adhering my newspaper clippings, I had the portrait photo page be upright and the landscape paper cutting to be landscape (page on the side). Next I stamped the frame in Cranberry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad around the title I created from the alphabet stickers from the My Crush™ Wildwood Assortment. 

The "On this Date" card was a journalling box that I cut in half and circled in red pen the date and added the numbers for the year. I added some stickers and embellishments from the Wildwood assortment on a few spaces over the two pages but purposefully left it quite plain. 

Remember this great stamp set Life is Wonderful – July 2015 Stamp of the Month is only available throughout July from your Close to My Heart Consultant and you can get this stamp for FREE in July only with a purchase of $32.50 AUS of current regular priced stamp sets. 

Thanks so much for dropping by to check out my latest double page spread, I hope you get to make a page this month too and get yourself a stamp set for FREE. I'm really interested to hear what you think about my double-page, so I'd love you to leave a comment before heading off to the next stop on our Australasian Blog Hop which is  Georgia's Blog - Georgia Creates.
