Egg Hunt Candy Topper!

I am such a wheel freak. I LOVE it every time Stampin' Up! comes out with a new wheel!!! The make the best backgrounds when using VersaMark or matching ink on the card stock!! Plus they are great other ways too but I mainly like them for background!

This brand new "Egg Hunt" wheel will be available on April 1st! NO foolin'!!!! I used Black StazOn and white glossy card stock. But first I used the "Top Note" die cut and cut them out. After I cut them I scored them and then wheeled them!!!

I colored in the eggs with markers and they were done!!! It was easy and fun too! Then I found some Easter words in the "All Holidays" set. I stamped them in Lovely Lilac ink on white card stock. Then I punched out a circle and the scallop piece using Lavender Lace and Almost Amethyst card stock.

I filled some food safe baggies with jelly beans and stapled the bag inside the "Top Note" piece. When I staple my items like this I make sure the prong part of the staple is in the front. But only if I'm going to be adding ribbon or layers. This way all you see on the back are two smooth bars from the staple. The bump parts of the staple are hidden behind the ribbon and card stock scallop layer. It gives it a much nicer, cleaner look too. And there is not prongs that could stick out and poke fingers!!

After I got the toppers stapled on I wrapped some white grosgrain ribbon around it and tied it in a knot. I added the scallop layer and they were done!!! I made a bunch of these for my stampers this month!!! It's just a fun little thing for them!!! All of the bags didn't fit in the picture so I only set a few up for the camera! I even took a close-up for you to see! Just click on it and you can see it even closer yet!!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by,
Wanda

  5. Cute, cute...just so cute! Myself, I hate the wheels don't use them very much. You could say I am wheel challenged however, I love how you use them on your projects.
