Easter Pail

Jon and I thought it would be fun to make each other Easter baskets and fill them with our favorite candies. Well actually… I thought it would be fun and he’s obliging my idea. *wink* We decided to give up sweets for Lent. Sooo… no candy, cookies, cake, or desserts of any kind. Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to indulging myself on Easter. Jelly beans and Peeps are two of my very favorite things and this is prime season for these candies! It has been tough to say no, but I will savor the taste even more come Easter. I’m going to ask my mom to make one of her famous pecan pies for Easter dinner too! YUM! (Mom… if you’re reading… this is me asking you to make a pecan pie for Easter *grin*). OK… so on to the details of my Easter Pail. The clear pail is by Stampendous and I got mine from Eclectic Paperie. I used white Stazon to stamp the peeps around the can. The peep stamp is by Savvy Stamps, but it has been discontinued. I added the ribbon around the pail, wrapped it around the handle, and used it to tie a bow. The flower is a Prima from the new Prima Sprites. The lid is also decorated with flower stamps by Technique Tuesday and some patterned paper from the Piggy Tales Gretel Collection. Jon’s favorite candies are Twix, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kat, and Butterfingers. I’m going to fill it with a little bit of everything! 🙂

  • Sherrie

    Thanks for clarifying the ribbon thing Taylor. Love the spring ribbon at M’s! The little flowers look identical to the TT acrylics! BTW….I don’t think “lazy” is in your vocabulary!! Love your work!

    I found these pails on clearance at a local craft store back in September. I bought 12 of them for $0.99 each! I’ve used them quite sparingly, although my SCS DSS got two of them this round. They’re awesome! Super cute with that Peep stamp. Love it!

    I’m so glad you posted this! I’ve been looking for the clear cans. What a cute idea – Easter pails! Yours is just beautiful. Thanks for another good idea.

  • KarrieLyne

    There you go again knocking our socks off with your super cute ideas!! I check your site every day to see what you bring and Friday is my favorite day! Cupcake Friday! I do have a question though…how on earth do you come upon all those cupcake images?? Do you own each and every cupcake stamp you stamp?? WOW!! Truly an inspiration! I have thought about doing a “special” stamp day but how on earth could I keep up with a new stamp each week??? Kudos to you Taylor!!!

    Super cute! Is the stamp unmounted? How in the world did you go around the can with such a clear image?

    Sherrie, the ribbon came printed with those flowers on it. It’s Dashes and Dots brand from Michael’s! I’m entirely too lazy to stamp my own ribbon! LOL! The TT set was used for the lid of the pail (can’t really see it in the pic).

  • Sherrie

    so cute!!!! love your easter pail. I’m looking forward to some easter chocolates too! I have these acrylics by TT…..love em’. They look fantastic on your ribbon. Did you use clearsnap inks on the ribbon so they wouldn’t bleed? You are one of the blogs that has inspired me to get on with my own…..thank-you!

  • scrapbookingoasis

    Very cute. Love the ribbon

  • Karen - Jusgottastamp

    Cuuuuute!!! I have always admired people who gave things up for lent. I have never tried that. I’ll bet you two will be as sick as two kids on Halloween night who had free access to their loot! ;o)

    I can’t remember the last time I denied you a request for one of your favorites. Of course, pecan pie will be at our Easter Dinner, but will it be at your house?

    This bucket is very cute! I think you should do a smaller version for a nut-cup at the place settings for your Easter gathering.
    What do you think? MOM

    Oh my! What a sweet card. Enjoy your night w the DH. We had a snow day here, so a quiet night at home with an easy, but red dinner (meatball sandwiches) followed by chocolate cake. Can’t wait for the pic and recipe of monkey bread!

  • Dawn C.

    poYUM-O!! This card makes you want some candy for sure! Love it!

    We get to do our BIG celebration this Sunday…Chinese New Year:) My hubby is Chinese so this is always extra fun for our kids as well! It also happens to be our Gracie’s 3rd bday…who can ask for a better Vday than that??:)))

  • StampinFrenzy

    Monkey Bread?!?! Sounds delicious! I spoiled my hubby with a dozen homemade chocolate dipped berries this morning along with a new Tommy Bahama shirt. Have a great night! Details in the morning….just on the M&M&M. 😉

  • Linda Bien

    ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!! I’m slowly but surely getting my embellishment stash to the point they need their own drawer!!! I get those creative urges in the middle of the night and HAVE TO WAKE UP and go make it right away; however, sometimes mine turn out good and sometimes the thought far surpasses the end result (bummer)!! This one of your really paid off.

  • shelley davis

  • Jen

    Taylor I love how that card came together. So sweet! Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!

  • Susan Liles (susiestampalot)

    What a cute card–makes you wish there were more sweet shops these days with the fun red and white striped canopy! We are having a low-key evening as well. Putting the kids to bed early and we are going to stay up late and watch The Notebook and then make homemade milkshakes-yummo!!

  • Heidi

    This card is too cute! Hope you enjoy your 3 M’s! They all sounds fabulous! Gotta love the monkey bread!

  • scoopy

    So cute – LOVE the sweet shop! Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Thanks!

  • Allison

    Oooooo…I would love to see your recipe for monkey bread (and to think I was coming here to see your card [very nice, BTW}). I bought all the ingredients I needed for this last night…would it be wrong to make it even with DH out of town? Could I eat a whole monkey bread myself? (Of course I could!)

  • Dotty

    Adorable card! Happy Valentine’s Day! Oh, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Monkey Bread! 🙂

  • emily

    That is DARLING!! And yes, I feel the same way when I use something I’ve had for a while.

    No idea what I’m doing today besides running around! Oh well! Hahahahaa!

    It is certainly one sweet card! You did a fabulous job tying in all the special details!

    Our Valentine’s day plans went from a special dinner out at our favorite restaurant to me making a huge pot of homemade soup (named appropriately for Valentine’s Day…”Red Soup”)! We are in the middle of a wonderful New England Snow Storm!

    Happy Valentine’s Day!
