I received my new Annual Catalog pre-order this weekend, and I was inspired to make these favors with our beautiful new In Colors! They are ready just in time for Easter, and I already shipped them out to my daughters to share with their coworkers, many of whom will be working this weekend.
From left to right, the base colors are Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock and Pretty in Pink. These colors will be available to customers on May 1. It is a Demonstrator perk to get them early (and at a discount).
If you have any questions about joining, please don’t hesitate to ask – especially at this time of year when you may have a big “Last Chance” list and/or if you are stocking up to beat the price increases. You can always get more for your money with the Starter Kit, and future purchases are discounted.
My favors are made from a 3 1/8″ x 11″ strip of cardstock, scored at 4 1/4″, 5 1/4″ and 9 1/2″. I used dies from the Excellent Eggs collection to cut the opening and for the cute stitched details on the flap. I used three punches to speed up production – the Easter Bunny, Banners and Bough punches.
There are a few more sneak peeks here too – the cute flowers are from the Country Flowers bundle that will be available in the new catalog. And did you notice the yummy In Color accessories – the stitched ribbon and gems? Love those details!
Maybe less exciting, but still important…the bunny is punched from another new color, Basic Beige. The greeting is from our most recent Paper Pumpkin kit.
My pouch is only 1″ wide for a flat cello bag of Dove chocolates. You can easily play with your pouch dimensions to suit your treat. I presented this on Facebook Live yesterday, you can view the video below. Please join my Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notice of all of my live videos.
