House Treat Holder

I used this in some workshops and the ladies just loved them! They are one of those small projects with tons of uses!


These little houses are wonderful treat holders~ just lift the roof, decorate as bird houses and enclose seeds, give to someone who's moving, a real estate agent ...and other ideas below!

First cut your template, then random stamp (or if you have double sided cardstock print it right on the cardstock!), then score it.

Adhere your sides and bottoms be sure you leave your top flaps folded outside to support the roof.

Add chipboard or whatever papers, ribbons, embellishements you like.
You can take a small character stamp, to make several images to use for a mini playhouse if you like

Kids can color as they like and simply cut a slit in the image piece and insert it into a small folded piece to use with their house!

If you want you can attach the roof and add a ribbon or string to hang as a birdhouse or ornament.

"Use those Eyelets" Easter layout

I have several customers asking what to do with extra eyelets. Obviously you can use a few on cards and layouts, but when we purchase an entire pack we usually have many of the same color- style left.

I took a piece of cardstock, penciled a few scrolls down one side (you can use a template or left over area from chipboard embellishments) , get as fancy as you like. Added some Easter egg eyelets. Add as many as you like.

Then I took a black pen and traced over the pencil markings.

Next added a few other little lines. You can stamp, draw dots or diamonds~ what ever you like to go with your theme.

Easter tag and a photo mat

Words can be added for your Easter Prince or Princess if you wanted. You can do this with stars, birthday cake, baby item or any eyelets to use them up. Then add what ever bling, ribbon or decorations you like for the occassion.

Milk Carton Treat Holders

Many of us have made these adorable milk cartons, but we forget about them. If you haven't made one give it a try. If you want the template email me or post a comment on this post and leave me your email address or do an online search if you like.

Cut your template from cardstock ( I used CTMH Twilight) , if you want to random stamp on it do that before you score. Score as directed. I used a crimper on the top to look like a real milk carton.

Add your paper ( CTMH Cocoa Cafe) , leave plain, distress or use other technicques as you like.
