Blending with Stencils - CAS - Clean & Simple

 I hope this post and video finds you all safe and making the best of the situation in the world right now. I watched a music video on Facebook this morning, "We are the World" and it literally made me cry. My heart breaks for all those affected by the pandemic worldwide. 
In an otherwise gloomy outside world, I continue to persevere here at home and try to focus on the positive. I have my health, my family and my STUDIO! So it's crafting that takes me to my happy place. 
For today's card, I wanted to show you how I masked off one of our stencils and blending some inks to create this clean and simple background. 
All the supplies I used are listed below and shown in the video I created to help keep you entertained. 
Question: Do you have this stencil or another one in mind that you can use?

Easter Egg Treat Holders

For today's Way's to use it Wednesday I'm going to show you how to use 2 different punches and a die in a way that you may not have thought of before. 
The colors are so bright and cheery.
These little egg holders are sure to brighten up any dinner table for easter. 
 I found the "Eggs" at Costco, they came in a HUGE bag and are pretty much the same size as a Kinder Surprise Egg. so you know about what size eggs to hunt for 'pun intended' lol
You can choose any colors you like for your treat holders as you may find eggs with different wrapping.
The colors I used are listed below in the Supply List.

Here is a Tutorial Video so you can see exactly how I made these little cuties!
How easy was that? Here are the measurements I said I would list for you. 
Cut one piece of cardstock to measure 8 1/2 X 2
Score at; 3/4, 2 3/4, 3 1/2 * 5 1/2
Cut another piece of cardstock to measure 4 X 2
Score at 1/4, 1", 3" & 3 3/4
It's important to use a very sticky adhesive like the one I listed below so that your containers do not fall apart.
Question: Are you going to make these for your Easter Dinner Table or do you have another use in mind? 
Let me know in the comments below what you will be using these for. I love hearing your ideas!
