Splendor Blog Hop Day 1!

I am joining a number of amazing artists to celebrate the newest release over at Simon Says Stamp, Splendor, over at the Simon Blog!  There are so many wonderful stamps dies, stencils and stamping accessories(inks, brushes, sparkles...) in this release!  There are products for St. Patrick's Day, Easter, birthdays, and lots more!  

I have used the cool new Gift Bag die, and the sweet and adorable Easter Peeps stamp set(has coordinating dies, too!), to make a couple Easter bags filled with candy!...

The first one, I die cut the bag, then stamped one of the line stamps with black ink, and colored the flowers and chick with markers.  I dotted the "daisies" with some of the new dazzling yellow gems.  I did use very old red metallic heart brads to attach the handles to the bag(I have linked to some red metallic heart brads below...not sure if they are the same size, but they"look" like it).  I then used thin double sided tape to adhere the corners and bottoms of the bag.  I filled it with Easter straw and Easter Kit Kats, as the colors were just right.  Here's a close up...

 

The second one, I used some aqua blue cardstock to cut out the bag...

This time I made it super simple(you could quickly make alot of them for work or neighbors), by stamping the bunnies and sentiment with versamark and white embossing.  Like the first one, I used some very old heart brads, I had, these smaller and white.  I, again, filled the bag with straw, and then with candy.  Here's a close up...

Okay...I had SO much fun making my bags, they are so stinkin' cute and perfect for so many occasions, or no occasions at all!!  My fun was above, your fun is below!!
