Easter treat holder with Something Fancy is also combined with the Tulip Dies for today’s project. In the Something Fancy die set, I love the little dies which cuts fancy patterns in the tags and there is one in particular which resembles a tulip. It reminded me that it’s been a while since I used the Tulip Dies so I dug them out to create this Easter treat holder which was designed to fit a Malteser Bunny Milk Chocolate bar.
It’s been such a long time since I’ve used the Tulip dies that I’d forgotten how so I had to google and search my own YouTube channel to see the 101 video I made for the Tulip Dies when it first came out! lol!
The colour palette I chose is Parakeet Party. It is very BRIGHT…….but it needed using up so I’ve paired it with Sweet Sorbet and Daffodil Delight to make the Easter treat holder. You normally associate Easter with daffodils, so I thought I’d die cut the Tulips in Daffodil Delight and chose Crushed Curry for the deeper colour.
Cutting and scoring guide
You’ll need the paper trimmer and the simply scoring tool. You can use the paper trimmer for doing both the cutting and scoring, but I find it easier to score with the simply scoring tool. As I am using the Something Fancy dies to create the scallop tops, using the trimmer to cut first is much more accurate than if I scored everything then cut by hand.
