We're Baaack!!!!

Winter is over! Paper House's Blog has been in hibernation, just like bears and other cute and furry animals.


Now we are back and will be updating our blog regularly for all of our Paper House devotees with product ideas, news, new product intros and anything else we can think of!

Since the Easter Bunny will be making his rounds soon, we would like to revisit a great project idea from last year by one of our creative crafters in the field, Sue Higgins of Indiana. Sue created this adorable (and functional) Easter decoration by covering a Cardboard Egg in our Easter paper and added grass and mini cut-outs to make a one of a kind Easter Basket. Most importantly, there is plenty of room in there for candy - Sue made sure of that! You can follow along with the instructions below to make this cute project.





Supplies:

P-0398E Easter Bunny Paper
DCM-0422 Duckling Mini Cut-Out
DCM-0421 Bunny Mini Cut-Out


Cardboard Egg
Popsicle Sticks
Modge Podge

Instructions:

1. Trace cardboard shape (front, sides, and top) onto the Easter Bunny Paper. Trim out and adhere to cardboard shape.
2. Generously apply one coat of Modge Podge to seal. Allow to dry.
3. Glue the Bunny & Duckling Mini Cut-Outs to popsicle sticks.
4. Fill as desired (you could include Easter grass, eggs, candy, etc.), nesting the Mini Cut-Out sticks among the Easter Basket fill.

Happy, Hippity, Hoppity Easter!

It's almost that time again... Egg hunts, baby chicks, fuzzy rabbits: All the great things about Easter! And to help you celebrate the holiday, Paper House has a brand new Easter Theme! Complete with Papers, Cardstock Stickers, and Mini Cut-Outs, this spring colored collection will coordinate perfectly with your photos! And it's perfect for scrapbook pages, cards, or themed projects!

This week, we're sharing a darling Easter card we made using our Easter papers and embellished with the Cardstock Stickers. The Happy Easter greeting and the adorable chicks were stamped from the My Sentiment's Exactly! Happy Easter set (Y202). We also applied Ranger's Star Dust Stickles glitter over a few stickers and added some rhinestones to give it pizzazz. 

We're also super lucky to be sharing this awesome project made by Sue Higgins of Indiana. Sue's been sending us some of her great crafts she made using Paper House products, and they're fantastic! For this adorable Easter decoration, Sue covered a Cardboard Egg in our paper and added grass and mini cut-outs to make the cutest-ever Easter Basket! You can follow along with the instructions below to make this great project just in time for the holiday!
