This Week….

So, even though the craft show has been postponed it’s been a busy week here at PlayinWithPaper. I’ve completed the paper purse that I mentioned in an earlier post. And, I’ve been working on Easter treat holders for the grankids.

First the paper purse, the tutorial for the purse came from the Posh Paper Lady. You can find her on YouTube, she has some awesome things that you can make (and a lot of the tutorials are FREE!) So, without further ado here’s the purse…

sturdy enough to be carried as, get this, a Purse!

Next the Easter treat holders. Last week I put a written tutorial up, here on the blog and a video over on my facebook page, for the Treat Holder. In the written instructions and the video I used a 6 x 6 square paper to make the treat holder, this makes a nice little holder great for favors or school events. For my Easter treat holders for the grankids I wanted something a bit bigger, so I used a 12 x12 square to make a considerably bigger treat holder. I took a picture of both so you could see how much bigger one made with a 12 x12 square is than the one made with a 6 x6 square.

the hubby asked if he was getting one for Easter too, and he said he wants the big one (of course)

I have a couple of these treat holders to finish and then a few Easter cards to make. I also have a few orders to complete that should keep me busy and out of trouble this week (no time to be ordering craft supplies online this week). So, until next time …..

Have a good week! And, Happy Crafting -Stephanie

Next week: Tools that really help when paper crafting and making cards. And of course, more card ideas!
