for tutorial on how to make a center step card download a FREE PDF that I made HERE
My card 5x7 is bigger than the tutorial, just adjust the measurements...but the cuts and score lines are the same...

I made  a treat bag to go along: stamps Stampin'Up!

and baked some chocolate chip cookies to insert in my treat bags...

these were given to my painter friends ...
and for the children some cauldrons filled with candies

you can also make a simple version, single A2 card using just the designs from the front panel...

This second card was featured at the Spanish blog : "A crear se dijo"! for Memory Box... for this one I used all dies from MB.

Easter candy holder bags

Hello Dear Stamper Friends:

I found these cute Easter candy holder bags searching Pinterest!
Perfect for this coming Easter Sunday!!! and quick to make!!!

These can be done quite easily just using punches or dies that must of us have.

The owl is my favorite and here is the website where I found it at
"Bronwyn Eastley's blog: Addinktive designs"

I added small changes to my bunny , but the original can be found at
Monica's blog: "My Stampin' Passion"

The sheep one is from a "Stampin'Up Demonstrator from Germany, Birgit Endres"

And they are perfect to hold some candy inside...

If you want to have extra ideas for candy holders and from where I got these ideas...

I have quite a good selection for quick and last minute ideas...  

I hope you are having a fantastic Easter Week...

Tip of the Week...Create Templates with Recycle Materials!

Hello Dear Stamper Friends;

Update: Just before you go on... I just wanted to let you know that my dear Friend Linda, from Canada just CASE me for the owl bookmark that I did a while ago and  that you can see here...but You can go as well to Linda's blog: Snail' s Space and see how cute her owls turn out... I am thrhrilled and honor to be case by her....I love that we interchange ideas like this...I love it.!!!..Thanks My dear Linda....look forwarfd to more cards projects to share...

Now onto my post ....

Today I am bringing to you another Tip of the Week...How to create "Your own templates from recycling clear packaging materials...!!"

You can make templates with different edge scissors ( I use ridges to create rocks and scallops to create waves), use as well  all your dies or hand free your own designs..... then I place all my templates in this binder ring and hang it underneath my desk for quick access...

I make the template, photo below,  to create my own clouds...
I trace a curly edge with a sharpie, then I cut it and the at the end  I have a custom template for my clouds unique to me...
NOTE; this same template is used to create waves

To create the technique for your clouds, just use inks/chalks, place your template, sponge moving all the time the template and changing your inks/chalks...the result is these clouds...

A few days ago, I share with you how to create an embossed butterfly using this material, instead of using Acetate. You can see my post here, if you missed it!

You can see the clouds this card that I featured at my Spanish blog for Memory Box "A Crear Se Dijo!"...
