Have a Hoppy Easter

Spring has sprung and Easter is on the way. Yes, yes I know it’s over a month away but I know you guys like to be organised. My kids are getting excited at the prospect of endless amounts of chocolate, seriously you’d think they get no treats!! How is Easter celebrated in your house?

Easter Gifts or Chocolate

What do you do for Easter? Each family is different. Some have the Easter Bunny whereas others don’t. Some go for chocolate eggs whereas others go for gifts. No matter what way you celebrate, chocolate does seem to always be involved in one way or another.

I’ve had a look at some chocolate ideas and some alternatives to chocolate and thought I’d share a few crafty ideas. What better way to celebrate then to put together a few homemade gifts.

Homemade Gifts

Check out some of these easy homemade Easter gift ideas.

Easter Carton Treats – an idea from The Crafty Chicks
Easter DIY Painted Cartons – an idea from Maddy Hague
Lindt Bunny in Mason Jar – an idea from Xeno Biophilia
Painted Eggs – an idea from Think Make Share Blog

Gift Tags

As I love stationery, I love beautifully wrapped gifts. The addition of a gift tag is so simple but is a beautiful finishing touch to your gift which makes it look more special.

To celebrate Easter and to make your gifts prettier and your life easier, I’ve created some printable Easter Gift Tags for you. Simply print them out, cut them and tie them onto your gifts.

The love of the Irish

Irish language poster, gra means love in Irish

Each year, all across the world St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by those that are Irish and those that want to express the love the the Irish.

Who was St. Patrick?

St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. He is known as the person that banished snakes from Ireland. He is synonymous with Ireland and being Irish.

St. Patrick’s Day is a celebration of Ireland and what it means to be Irish. People march in brightly coloured parades and Irish music and dancing are enjoyed by all.

The Irish language

Do you know that there is an Irish language, called Gaeilge? Irish is spoken in many parts of the country and is taught in the majority of schools. Irish people are proud of their language and you will notice signs around the country that show the way in both Irish and English.

Gra means love in Irish, or as we say ‘as gaeilge’.

Love of the Irish…

The Irish are known as a friendly bunch of people, that love to have the craic (fun) and spread gra (love) wherever they go.

To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and to add some Irish language to your home, we’ve created a simple, stylish A4 size poster for you. You can download the poster, print it and frame it.

Valentine’s Day – Love is in the Air

Valentine’s Day – you either love it or you hate it! What do you think of the day?

Love it!

We’re all for love here at Hello Snowflake Designs. We believe stationery needs to be something special – something that has a clear message and something to keep.

You wouldn’t find us in the card aisle, picking a sparkly Valentine’s Day card. No, no – we don’t believe in ‘Hallmark’ holidays.

Show love…

We believe the meaning of the day is what is important, showing love, expressing gratitude and creating that exciting feeling of butterflies in the tummy.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day and to ensure you don’t have to spend your hard-earned money on a sparkly card, we’ve created a simple, pretty Valentine’s Day card which gets across the exact message you need to convey – “BE MY VALENTINE”.

For love and for fun

You can download and print two cards. Why two cards you might ask?? Well we think you need one for your love and another for fun – I know my daughter would love to get one of these from me and it would make her day extra special. Simply print the A4 page on cardstock and cut out each card, fold and voila – you are ready to go!

Frame it!

Do you keep cards? I like the simplicity of this card and think it would look quite pretty in a frame on the wall or on your desk.
