Easter Goodies~

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with some Easter goodies with plenty of cuteness added!! I started with this adorable vintage ice cream cup, some vintage ephemera and one pink flower. That was enough to make this cutie~

Perfect Easter decoration! The egg is on a bed of Ivory Tissue Paper. Then I made some cards out of some cool retro bunny paper by Reminisce and added some vintage lace and a button. The cards are 4″ X 4″ a great size to use as table place cards. I used the Tinted Tape on the greeting card.

Here they are all together, waiting for Easter and a party!!! Be sure and stop by the Vintage Street Market store~ it is full of vintage goodies!!

Happy Easter !!!! by~C. Mercer

Hey all! Amy here and I am back as promised with an altered Easter project to share. I started with a vintage ice cream cup and then began building.

I added tissue paper garland around the edges then layered tinsel garland with aqua Twirly Twine on top. Next I used May Arts red twill stripes ribbon to make a bow and then added two paper flowers. I added a vintage bingo marker for the center.

For the banner, I painted wooden skewers and attached handmade finials from beads. I tied aqua Twirly Twine to the skewers and then added three red foil triangles from Party Games Paper Sheets and Tags. Next, I punched holes in a fare ticket stub and added to the right skewer. I then used a sticker sentiment backed on a Jillibean pattern paper. I attached the skewers to the inside of the cup with tape.

I love the way it came out and especially like that it is not the traditional colors of Spring. I challenged myself with that for a bit. Finally I filled my cup with a little Easter grass and a pale blue egg. I think these cups are perfect for birthdays, other holidays, or even a special pick me up. I hope this inspires you!
