Simon Says: Miniature/ Tiny things

With Easter around the corner, I had an idea to make a little

treatbox for my collegues and this was perfect for the challenge on

the Monday blog of Simon Says Stamp.

where the challenge is: Minuature/ Tiny Things.

For the mini-treatbox I used a die by

Elizabeth Craft Design.

It is called a gable box and you find a video tutorial

on the site HERE.

After cutting the box, I stamped the grass with mowed

lawn distress oxide ink. The stamp is from my stash.

Next i stamped and colored the chickens. They are from last

years Sellabration bt Stampin'Up!. This set is called Hey, Chick!

The images are colored with stampin'blends and I used a punch 

for some extra eggs.

After folding and gluing the bo, the images are added

with foam tape to make them stand out a little.

Her 2 sides of the box and

here the other side. The tag is stamped with a sentiment 

from another set by Stampin´Up! called Easter Lamb.

The tag is fastned  with a piece of organza ribbon.

Inside the box there is some chocolate.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter 

to all my friends!

I made another card using the tin foil

idea from tim Holtz. This time I cut out some eggs.

As I used a spellbinder die, I could not cut bookboard,

so I cut out several eggs

and taped them together. 

With crumpled tin foil cut to size

I coverd the eggs. Leaving the shiny side inside.

Now I took a sizzix embossing folder

and embossed the eggs for a fun effect

before covering them with alcohol ink.

The eggs are finished now and I put them aside.

For the background |I took a white peace of cardstock

and sprinkled a few grains of bistre on it.

Sprayed water on top and this way covered all of the paper.

Now stamp Michael Strong's Fiona's Flock stamp

first on the background and then on yellow cardstock.

I gave the chicks some extra dimention by coloring

them with a yellow pencil.

Cut out the chicks (without the paws - these are already

on the background) and use foam tape to add the

chicks to the background.

I used part of Michael Strong's pot stamp (gold embossed

on green paper) as a bowl for the eggs.

On top of the eggs you see little bows.

The come with the easter bunny die.

The sentiment is from an old Stampin'Up! set.

Thanks for looking. 

Hope you have an amazing day!

Have a creative day!
