They are very quick and easy to make.
I folded in half a sheet of white card and then I used the largest egg shape from a X Cut nesting set of dies to cut the basic card, leaving a small area uncut to form the hinge of the card. I then cut the shape out of a sheet from a DCWV glitzy glitter stack.
This gorgeous red bow came from our Christmas crackers - I always save the trimmings from our crackers, but this may be the first time I have actually used them!
This little chick is from a Sizzix die, I felt that their eyes did not really stand out so I gave him some little pearl eyes.
I recently found some really cheap ribbon on Amazon so I treated myself to about 60 meters. Not that I really needed it, but who can resist a craft bargain.
Oww, I forgot to mention that I had to cut a little bit off the bottom of the card in order to get them to stand up.
Before I go I thought I would mention that the theme of the current challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges is 'Easter'. Please share your creations with us.

These are fabulous Dionne!! I love the glittery paper and the egg shaped base is brilliant! I think I should invest in that die cut set! hugs :)

Oh my goodness you've taken this to a new level with the glittery card. I love them (somehow I nearly missed this post!!!) I especially love the blue with the red ribbon. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I had originally planned to use pearlescent card and run it through an embossing folder to give it that chocolate egg look but I only had the choice of wood effect or honeycomb. Then I came up with the glitter card to mimic the silver paper, it was quite distressing to use up that particular stack of card and I really hope I will be able to replace it this week!
