Easter Treat Holders



I made these for Easter for my son's class. Use a quarter sheet of cardstock 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". I score at 1-1/2" and 3". Punch a notch in the center"column" with a 3/4 circle punch. Then, use sticky strip to adhere  it on the side and bottom. Then crimp the bottom using a crimper.


For the chick I used a stampin up scallop punch for the body and also for the wings I just cut it in half. The feet are  star's using the stampin up punch. Different sizes of circle's for the eyes and a small flower punch for the hair.
I put some chocolate and a pencil with an eraser in each holder. You can also put pixie sticks.

Teacher Flower Arrangement


 My oldest son had an amazing kindergarten teacher. So I decided to make her something really special for the end of school gift. I got a picture of each of the kids in the class and sized it. Each flower was cut with the cricut using Walk in my Garden cartridge.
I cut different sized flowers using cardstock paper and patterned paper. I used skewers and put floral tape around each. I also cut leaves using the cricut and glued them onto the skewers. I cut each picture out with my circle punch and glued them to each flower.
For the flower container I bought it at Micheal's and decorated it with a rub on. I bought  a lot of different ribbon and put them on the handles. For the tag I used Walk in my Garden cartridge. I wrapped all with transparent paper with ribbon at the top. She loved it!! 

This year my youngest has her for SK. I will be making another one at the end of the year.
