Sweet Easter Baskets; Quick & Easy

Need a quick project for Easter?  Or May Day?  Or to make something fun with a child?  This is it!

Save

I made these on a recent FB Live and it couldn't be easier!  

Start out with a square of paper.  I chose to use White card stock for the one above since I wanted to stamp my own background with the Circle Celebration stamp set.  I chose to use Magenta Madness, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue.  

I used a 5 1/2" square of White CS for it so I could get two baskets from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper.  Score it at 1 3/4" on all sides.  Cut up two sides and fold them up to form the basket.  Add a strip of CS for a handle and something fun on the side.  Here I used the Oval Occasions stamp set.

For the butterfly basket on the right I used a 6 X 6" square of Butterfly Bijou designer paper.  Unfortunately this paper is sold out now.  They hoped to have enough through May but we all loved it so much they ran out!  I'm so sorry about that.  

Save

The 6" basket is just slightly larger than the 5 1/2" basket; both work wonderfully for holding treats! 

You can see the video here.  It's a FB live replay; scroll towards the end to see the basket project.

  I have more Team swaps to share with you today.  Our theme for June was to feature designer series paper. 

  *Remember our designer papers are all discounted in June! It's a great time to grab the packs you want.  *see them all here

  First up is a gorgeous card made by Ginny featuring the Masterfully Made DSP seen here.  

  Save

  She also used the coordinating bundle called Gorgeously Made seen here.  Her colors include Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Bubble Bath and a bit of vellum.  The greeting, leaves and torn notebook edge are all dies in this bundle.  

  Next is a pretty birthday card made by Sharon.  She featured the Bright & Beautiful DSP seen here.  

  Save

  She also used the Gold Celebrations 12 X 12 specialty paper too. See the confetti gold acetone on the blue balloon?  She also added a few dies and embossing folders as well. Natural Prints dies for the greeting and the Countryside Corners dies for the Misty Moonlight & Berry Burst die-cuts, the Basics 3D (online exclusive) and Cane Weave 3D folders 

  I'll share the rest of this month's swaps tomorrow.

• Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team

  June 22, 2023

  ---

  Our Team gathering and swap was this past weekend and our theme was to use designer paper.  

  This first card was made by Marla and features the Countryside Inn DSP.  

  Save

  It looks like an ordinary gatefold card, but it's not!  It latches closed with the heart & leaf punches on the right side! 

  Measurements are as follows:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3" and 8 1/2"
  • Designer paper is 2 3/4" X 4" on the left and 2 1/4" X 4" on the right.  *same on the inside

  Save

  It's hard to tell in the photo but the top right corner of the large, layered die-cut catches under the punched pieces on the upper right of the card base.  So cool and smart!  I love it when a fun fold card stays closed easily.  

  She featured the Countryside Inn designer paper seen here.  If you love blues, you need this pretty paper! And it's on sale in June – down from $12.50 to $10.62 now.   

  She also added more of the pretty paper inside her card.  

  Save

  Next is a sweet card by Candy – (see what I did there?)  She featured the Zoo Crew designer paper and Zany Zoo bundle. She colored each of those flowers with a Blends marker! 

  Save

  It's a 'book-binding' card fold.  Start out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card base; score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". You'll adhere the 'binding' area down so the card opens at the 4 1/4" score line.  

  Her coloring is beautiful; I believe she used Blends markers.  

  The embossing folder is the Countryside Blossoms and the stitched circles and banner are from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

  I'll share more team swaps tomorrow!

  Here is another fun fold card I made on last week's Tuesday video.  If you'd like to watch me live, join me on Tuesday's at 11 am CT here on Facebook or see them later on my YouTube channel here. 

  This card features the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper and a favorite card theme of 'Black & White with a pop of color'.  

  Save

  The pretty floral paper sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic DSP chose the color theme.  I fussy cut one of the flowers from the designer paper to add to my stitched circle die-cut.  I mimicked the dots in the DSP and used the Dots & Spots die on a piece of the Fresh Freesia card stock.  

  This Delightfully Eclectic designer paper is on sale now in June.  See it here. 

  The measurements are listed in the photo below.

  Here are all three of the cards I share in the video. Scroll down a bit or watch it here.
