Cup Full of Peeps

Hey everyone - just stopping in quick to share a card I finally finished for the Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop happening right now!

Except...there's no coffee on it. Or cats. Yes, it's possible I've been replaced by a pod person. But I do have PEEPS!

Peeps in a cup. Because what else would you do with them, eat them?!? Hah!

The sugary darlings are from the March 2016 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit and are encrusted with Ranger Rock Candy glitter. The cup is a die from Simon Says as well...I'd never used it...oops...LOL

No fussy cutting! The kit comes with matching dies, but I let my new Brother Scan 'n Cut do the work. So. amazing. Scor-tape is holding down those bunny Peeps quite nicely, and I used foam tape on the bottom of the cup so it fit snugly over all that sugar. I think I'm getting a cavity just looking at those bad boys...

Thanks for stopping by! If you're new here, feel free to click the 'follow' button so you know when I go on a caffeinated crafting binge...LOL

Happy Crafting!

Peep...peep...nom!

Wow, I have been seriously MIA...two craft shows in a month will do that I suppose. I come bearing a super-cute card, though! Seeing as Easter is right around the corner, I just had to make up some cards. Around here, nothing says Easter like yummy chocolate Cadbury eggs and loading up my Gram with Peeps! She adores the little sugary things almost as much as I adore coffee. I went looking for a Peeps pattern, digi-stamp, anything I could use to start a card with. What did I find? Nothing. Nada. Zip. So after saying a few nasty things about the industry, I made my own. So there.

Isn't he yummy?? I made a whole flock of these little guys (and some bunnies!) and brought them to my craft show Saturday as well. Several went off to good homes. :)

All of the paper was from my personal horde collection. I love square cards but loathe the extra postage, so I made this one 4.25"x4.25". Yup, still fits in a standard A2 envelope. Yes! I fussy-cut the Peep out after coloring him in with watercolor pencils, then gave him a sugary topping with some extra-fine glitter. The teal twine is the gorgeous new twine from Lawn Fawn. Love. It.

If by some chance you absolutely have to have one (and don't feel like making it yourself), I do have it up in my shop!

So, what are everyone's Easter plans? Please share!

Happy Crafting!
