4 Easter Treat Packaging Ideas with Confetti Cuts

Today, I’m sharing four Easter treat packaging ideas using Reverse Confetti Confetti Cuts. All four projects include the bunny from the just-released More Than Jellybeans Confetti Cuts set.

EasterPackagingTaggedTote

For the first project, I used the Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts to create a treat tote, to which I added a grass strip cut with the Double Edge Wonky Scallop Border and the bunny from More Than Jellybeans Confetti Cuts. The candy is contained in a cellophane bag slipped inside the Tagged Tote. I added a bow to the bunny, as well as a pom-pom.

Looking for something simpler? Add a tag cut with Folded Tag Confetti Cuts, decorated with the More Than Jellybeans Confetti Cuts bunny, to a cellophane bag of candy.

For my third idea, I cut a bag front and back with the Sweet Treat Tent Confetti Cuts and then cut the front panel with the bunny in the More Than Jellybeans Confetti Cuts set. The candy in the cellophane shows through.

Lastly, I cut a treat bag topper with the rectangular die in the Documented Confetti Cuts set to which I added the More Than Jellybeans Confetti Cuts bunny and grass cut with the Double Edge Wonky Scallop Border.

Reverse Confetti Blog Hop

The wait is over! REVERSE CONFETTI has just released FIVE stamp sets, SEVEN Confetti Cuts and “Spring Fling” Quick Card Panels!! There’s something for everyone in this release – whether you’re working on Easter cards, gift packaging, friendship or encouragement cards, …

The hop started on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Lisa’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you to see using all the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets and dies!

There are so many wonderful packaging products included with this release! I created an Easter-themed bag with the Treat Tote Confetti Cuts. Before assembling, I trimmed off the edge of the tote top and added the Double Edge Wonky Scallop Border Confetti Cut (which I cut twice). I played up the rabbit theme by using the colors of a carrot for the bag.

To make the tag, I did a partial cut using the More Than Jellybeans Confetti Cuts set. To the tag front, I added a bunny stamped with the More Than Jellybeans stamp set, which I also cut with the coordinating Confetti Cuts.

Next, I’m sharing a CAS card created with the Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts and the Shine Bright stamp set.

I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment on a bright cardstock panel into which I cut a circle, so that the blue sky and sun could peek through.

Here’s a card I created quickly with a Quick Card Panel, along with die cuts cut with the Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts set and flowers from The Tweet Life Confetti Cuts set.

After adhering the sun, clouds and flowers to the panel, I added the panel to a card base, along with an off-axis solid piece of cardstock.

Countdown to Confetti Day One

It’s Countdown to Confetti time at Reverse Confetti! There are FIVE stamp sets, SEVEN Confetti Cuts and “Spring Fling” Quick Card Panels in the March release!! Today, I’m happy to introduce two awesome stamp sets – The Tweet Life and More Than Jellybeans – both with coordinating Confetti Cuts and perfect for Easter and spring-themed crafting!

Let’s get started! My first project features the stamp set More Than Jellybeans along with its coordinating Confetti Cuts set, as well as one of the Spring Fling Quick Card Panels and Banner Garland Duo, a standalone Confetti Cuts die.

Jellybeans

I stamped one of the More Than Jellybeans sentiments and cut it out, as well as the solid-colored cardstock eggs, with the Confetti Cuts die. I adhered those to one of the Quick Card Panels and added a Banner Garland Duo.

With one of the Banner Garland Duo dies, I cut a solid white garland. With the other, I cut a garland that I adhered to the solid one, after removing the white flags. I used that garland die to cut yellow, pink, green and teal pieces that I inlaid into the open flag spaces. The Quick Card Panel and garland were adhered to a card base.

My next project was created with The Tweet Life stamp set, its Confetti Cuts set and a Quick Card Panel.

TweetLife

I stamped and watercolored one of The Tweet Life set’s birds and cut it with the corresponding Confetti Cuts die. I cut the leaves and branch with the set’s Confetti Cuts dies and watercolored those as well. I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it with the Office Edges file tab die. I attached the bird, branch, leaves and sentiment to a Quick Card Panel, tied on some twine and adhered that to a card base.

There are two $15 gift certificates up for grabs – one for blog commenters and one for Facebook commenters. Increase your chance of winning by leaving a comment on each sneak peek post for each designer. Comments will close at noon CST on March 7th and the winner will be announced at 5pm on March 7th on the Reverse Confetti blog and FB page.

Poppystamps: Hello Spring!

Today I’m sharing a Spring-themed card. I couldn’t resist combining bunnies from the recent Poppystamps Release cut out of a variety of pastel cardstock.

Bunnies

I finished off the card front with hand-drawn stitching. I really like how the colors pop out against the kraft. This card would work equally well with a “Happy Easter” or “Hello Spring” sentiment inside.

Supplies:

Happy Easter – Retrosketches #56

Time was running out for me to use the “Happy Easter” stamp set from Lawn Fawn! I created a springtime, Easter card to play along with this week’s Retrosketches sketch.

Happy Easter - Retrosketches #56

There’s a hint of Copic coloring on the rabbit, although it didn’t photograph well. The bunny is popped up with some dimensional adhesive. I cut the sentiment strip in half so that I could stack the greeting.

Happy Easter and Happy Spring (Happy Fall to those of you in the Southern Hemisphere)!
