Hey everyone! Happy Friday! Hope your week was amazing!! And cheers to a fun weekend! Easter is only one month away now, and I thought I'd better get started on my Easter projects. STAT. I have lots of cute new Easter products, stamps, dies, etc. that I want to use and share with you. If I'm not careful, I'm gonna run out of time! So I'll start today with some super cute and colorful treat bags. These are one of my favorite projects to make. If you've followed along with me for a while, you've seen this Mama Elephant Favor Bag die before here on my blog! To see my other posts: CLICK HERE to see the Bunny Bags I made! CLICK HERE to see the Panda Bags, and CLICK HERE to see the Christmas Bags. Yup, one of my favorite products. LOL.
Mama Elephant came out with the Chickie add-on for the Favor Bag this year and I had to have it! EEEEP. Adorable! I combined all my favorite Spring colors and went to town yesterday creating these bags. They'll be perfect for candy treats or place cards on the Easter table. I made a girl one and a boy one. Super sweet!
This little chickie is sooooo cute! This is the girl one and she has a pink bow in her hair!! The bags are made from pretty aqua cardstock. Usually I like to make the bags from kraft, but I thought I would try something new this time.
And here's the boy one! His bow tie is blue of course!!!
Here are my die cut pieces. To make the Favor Bag you cut two of the die and then glue them together after you fold on the score lines. It's so easy! I use liquid glue to adhere them together, because I like to put candy inside and don't want them to come loose. I die cut the fence die from bright white paper. The chick is cut from yellow paper, and the feet are a slightly darker yellow paper. The beak is orange paper.
I used distress inks and small sponge daubers to ink around the edges of all the die cuts. This really makes them pop!
I used a white gel pen to add highlights onto the die cut pieces. The fence die cut is very long. I trimmed the pieces with my paper trimmer to make them fit across the bottom of the bag on the front (and the back!)
This is the back of the bags. I added some fence and cute jelly beans!
One of the best details of this die is the teeny scallop edge. It's just the right amount of sweetness!
My little helper was wondering if there were any cat treats inside by any chance!!
That's it for today! I'm out of things to post, so I'm gonna have to get busy creating!! Have an awesome weekend! XOXO
