Happy Easter


Good afternoon. In my previous post I showed you one of the 5 chocolate
box/cards I made for an order. That one was in pinks, and this afternoon
I have 2 more to show you...1 is in purple tones, and the other is in green,
yellow and orange tones.

While all 5 box/cards are in various colours, the actual boxes are all
exactly the same size and design. I bought a large block of chocolate,
and experimented with scraps of cardstock until I had a perfect size
for that particular chocolate block which is probably the most common
one in Australia.

A closer look at the floral arrangement.

Inside the box/card, showing the little pocket with its tag
on which to write a personal message; and the large pocket
that holds the block of chocolate.

This is the 'green' box/card.

A close-up look at the pretty flowers and foliage.

Challenges I would like to Enter:-
Craft Rocket #102 - 'Layer It Up'
Fab 'n' Funky #570 - 'Use Die Cuts'
Make My Monday #197 - 'P' is for... (purple, pocket) (2nd entry)
My Time To Craft #505 - 'Easter or Spring Flowers'
The Paper Funday #52 - 'Anything Goes; with optional twist, Flower Power'


DSP - Stampin' up; First Edition Spring Drop
Sentiments - LOTV; Peel-off sticker
Dies - Stampin' Up; Spellbinders; Creative Expressions; Cheery Lynn; Dies R Us
Flowers, ribbons, brads, pearls are from my junk stash

Until next time, thank you for visiting,
Hugs, Jennifer. xx

P.S. If you are wondering what happened to the block of chocolate I used to create the template for my box/card.....you'll have to keep wondering, 'cause that's my secret 😁😁😄.

Pink Easter Blessings


Good evening. Last Christmas a lovely lady here at our retirement village
bought 2 of my chocolate box/cards. Early in the new year she said the 
recipients loved them, and I was thrilled when she asked me to make 
5 more with an Easter theme. 

I made all 5 box/cards in different base colours, with different DSPs, and  
very different designs. My 'customer' loved them. This is the pink-themed
one. This DSP has the most gorgeous, all-over sparkle, but unfortunately
it does not show at all in the photos.


A closer look at my floral arrangement with those cute
little die-cut eggs.


This is the inside, showing on the right the 'box' which fits a large
block of chocolate, and on the left is a 'pocket' with the tag
on which a personal message can be written.

Challenges I would like to enter:-
Beautiful Blossoms #3 - Anything Goes (flowers must be the focus)
Cardz 4 Galz #195 - Spring Flowers
Creations In Pink #56 - Anything Goes, Mainly Pink
Make My Monday #197 - ' 'P' is for... (Pink, Paper, 'Pocket')

Ingredients
DSP - First Edition Spring Drop

Sentiment - from a VERY old childrens' Easter set from bargain store
Flowers, ribbon, twine and gem from my junk stash

Until next time, thank you for visiting,
Hugs,
