Straight from the farm!
cock-a-doodle-doo!!! (sorry couldn't resist!!)
Happy Friday!! I'm so excited to show you another Clear Dollar Stamps' sneak peek!! This one is called Critter Barn and it is just SO stinkin' fun!!
When I first got this set, I thought it would be perfect for making little treat baskets, (filled with chocolate Cadbury eggs?? YUM) or even as place settings for Easter brunch with a cute little decorated egg!! I think this is a great project you can even do with your kids, (which is always a big plus), and your table will look just gaw-jus!
Isn't that fun? very messy too – my personal favorite! I used a ton of distress inks to make the sides and back of the basket look like old wood (silly me, I will add another picture later on so you can see what I'm yapping about), and I made a matching "label" and band for the egg! The little sentiment by the way is also included in the set – so adorable right??!
I hope this gives you some fun ideas for your next family gathering or even kids' parties! This is truly a fun set with endless possibilities!
Thanks for visiting, I have tons more to show you so check back soon!

Hi Alex! What an adorable idea for the Barn Set! I love the idea of a mini basket out of the barn, and your ink distressing paid off, girl! I’m lovin’ the look of that and that little egg band, isn’t that the cutest addition to the barn? Great creativity here, Alex!
