Easter
Vintage Greetings, Party Favors and Playthings
to Cut Out and Make Up

CONDITION: new, softcover, crisp and glossy covers, 15 pages, published: 2011, size: 8.5x11, unabridged, published by Bramcost Publications

Originally published in 1936, this vintage Easter book is filled with nostalgic holiday fun for children (or adults!). 14 pages of cutouts including:

• a template for making your own envelopes
• greeting cards
• egg/nut cups
• place cards
• table decorations
• bend/fold Easter toys and paper dolls like Billy and Betty Bunny and their musical instruments, Henrietta Hen and her hat, etc.

One of the most clever things about this book are the cards -- after cutting out the vintage greeting, there are little slits in many of the cards where premade flower bouquets and other Easter themed items can be inserted creating a 3D effect. The included envelope template, along with purchased pink, purple and yellow construction paper, make the perfect size envelopes to house the greetings. 

Cutouts are in full, vibrant Easter colors and printed on heavy paper for firmness. A blank page separates each cutout page. This book would be perfect for keeping little hands busy at family gatherings on Easter Sunday.
