Early Easter and springtime gift ideas

Hi, SaraL here.  I thought with Spring & Easter rapidly approaching I would take this opportunity to show off a couple of Heather’s perfectly themed DIY printable templates!

There are two in particular I thought I’d highlight with you today.  Firstly Heather’s DIY Printable Templates: Carrot Box

As always, Heather’s templates come with nice, straight-forward instructions plus the ready-to-print version of the template that you can see in the preview above too!  Here’s another example, which I made last week:

This is the perfect template to use when you need multiple versions of it, such as for a group of children or as fun table favours at your family’s Easter meal. I used similarly patterned paper in all the available colours from Heather’s Run Wild digital scrapbooking kit, and then finished the filled carrot boxes off with just a simple ribbon bow, glue-dotted to the top.  These boxes make a sweet ‘n simple prizes or gifts, which require very little equipment or time to create.

Next, let me remind you of this eggs-tremely cute gift bag template (old bad joke, I know!), Heather’s DIY Printable Templates: Egg Gift Bag

The ready-to-print version accompanying this template is totally adorable as you can see, but I thought I’d show you that you could also make the gift bag look a little more sophisticated, perhaps for an adult, by simply choosing a different colour pallet or kit to play with:

See what I mean? The soft colours & the heart embellishments from Heather’s collab kit with Shawna Clingerman, Love You Beary Much, make this egg gift bag feel a little more grown-up – think your other half or even your in-law’s!

Now, to make things simple, Heather has packaged these two lovely templates together, saving you money & making the choice easier: buy both!!

I hope you have fun playing with Heather’s templates & kits to help you make this Easter perfect, with a lovely home-made collection of colourful gifts & goodies!

Remember to show off whatever you create in the gallery at the Sweet Shoppe!

See you next month!
