Easter Treat Boxes

These were our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt treats for this year. The candy is from Jelly Belly, Sour Bunnies and Sunkist Fruit Gems. It helps if you can get them in bulk on a wholesale account. The acrylic pillow boxes are from Clear Bags, the food safe kind. And, the Easter Egg embossing folder is from Darice. Yes, you can put acrylic boxes in your embossing folders without damage. I just used my Big Shot multipurpose platform with no tabs on my machine. Just to get rid of some random pieces of ribbon, we used just about every ribbon scrap I had, and then some I didn't like. It helps keep the boxes closed.

Succulent Spring Wreath

I was asked to post a picture of this wreath when I finished it. It's a wreath kit from S.E.I. that I bought at the ScrapbookUSA show last month. I liked the colors in the kit and that it used some foam flower shapes with the double sided paper flowers.

It has almost everything you need to make it. The kit says that hot glue is recommended. I say it's required, or all those pinned flowers in the foam will pop off really fast. I added the lavender grosgrain ribbon as a hanging loop. I don't know how they hung that one up. It's kinda soft styrofoam you're building on.

I'm sure you can take all your personal flower punches and dies to make lots of layered flowers out of your own designer paper to create your own wreath. This particular kit has tons of leftover flower pieces that you can use for other projects. I had enough leftover that I could probably make a second wreath.
