Printable Scratch Off Easter Jokes
DIY scratch off Easter joke cards make a great non-candy, allergy-safe Easter treat, and they are super easy to make with cute free printables and scratch-off sticker paper! This post was originally created by me for Crafts Unleashed and contains affiliate links when possible, which help to support this site. Thanks!

It is durable, sturdy, flexible, and waterproof – in other words, totally kid-proof. Usually plarn is made from recycled grocery bags, which are super environmentally friendly but limited in color choices. For this ... [Read More]

I received compensation for this post, but all opinions are completely my own, and I only recommend products I truly love. This post also contains affiliate links when possible. Thanks for supporting Persia Lou! I am super duper excited to share today's project with you all! Is it weird for me to say that I think it's pretty awesome? I really, really like it. Maybe it's just because this was one of those (extremely) rare projects that went off without any problems and came out exactly as I pictured it in my mind. Yeah, that doesn't happen very often. Anyway, I've already shared my love for the Heidi Swapp Minc and it's foil applicator magic with you all, but I wanted to try to step up my foil game. So to really show off what this little machine can do, I decided to try for a ... [Read More]

It's probably no surprise that coloring Easter eggs is hands down my favorite Easter tradition.
