A little Easter Treat

I made these little chocolate treat holders for a team online event plus some extras to give to my travel buddies at On Stage in Melbourne.

They use the Fluffiest Friends stamp set (for the rabbit), the Bee my Valentine stamp set (for the little heart stamped randomly over the box) and the Charming Sentiments bundle.

The little rabbit was originally holding a cupcake but because it was Easter I wanted to change it to something else and I chose a heart, die cut from the charming sentiments dies.. I used the cutting blade on my Take Your Pick tools accessories to cut around the rabbits arms, then I slotted the diecut heart inside.

Fluffiest Friends

I love the cute animal stamp set, Fluffiest Friends You may not have noticed this set before as it is not in any printed catalogues. Instead it is available exclusively as an online offering from Stampin’ Up!

.I decided to do a card with a cat for my granddaughter and I thought that the little hamster also would make a great cat.

First I inked up the hamster stamp, then I used a blender pen to remove the ink from the hamster’s face and paws. If you are going to try this technique make sure you take a few goes at removing the ink from each part, wiping the blender pen clean between each go, to ensure you remove all traces of ink from the portion of stamp where you want it gone.

Because this took more than a few seconds and the ink may have dried on the stamp, I huffed on it, to moisten the ink with my breath. Then I stamped the image. I used a black stampin write marker to add in the face and whiskers to match the larger cat. I added cat paws and a tail.
