Welcome to the Hoppers Easter Blog Hop!

The Hoppers are back with another fun Blog Hop!  This time it's all about Easter. Hop from blog to blog for some great Easter ideas.  I hope you are ready for loads of inspiration and a chance to win a fantastic prize. All you need to do is visit each blog and leave a comment.  Then on Easter Day - April 8th a random name will be drawn and the winner announced. 

The Prize is a Stampin' Up! Pack of Designer Series Paper, a Stamp Set, and a Roll of Ribbon!  So don't miss out - make sure you leave a comment on every blog for a chance to win.  The winner will be contacted by email and their name will be announced on our blogs.  Make sure that information is in your comment.

The project I would like to share with you today is a cute Easter Purse that holds a yummy treat!  I cut a piece of Pool Party card stock 4-1/2" x 8" and scored it at 2-1/2, 3-1/4, 5-3/4, and 6-1/4 inches. The Edgelit Die was placed on the edge with the short fold and the run through the Big Shot.  I used the coordinating Embossing Edgelit for more detail and the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (2-1/2" x 4-1/2") because you all know that's my favorite!  And isn't she the sweetest bunny? You'll find her in the Everybunny Stamp Set.  The coloring was done with the 2012 - 2013 in color ink pads and a blender pen.

Pin It

I designed this purse because I didn't have a treat holder in my bag of tricks to fit the Russell Stover Caramel Eggs.  Yum...they are one of my favorite Easter Treats!  Who am I trying to kid...I love all chocolate candy and when you add caramel I'm in heaven.  lol

  16. BetSue, thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Im partial to this cute bunny with her cute smile. It must be because I always wanted to have a little girl to dress up for Easter but only had little boys. Good luck in the drawing.
