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.

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.

• Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!

  June 30, 2026

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

  Save

  My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

  Save

  What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

  Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

  Save

  On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

  I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

  I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.

• Pretty Fern & Flora card; with free project sheet & video tutorial

  June 29, 2026

  ---

  There’s something about crisp white on a card. It gives a feeling of elegance to your projects.

  Save

  This card features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. The designer paper is called Moonlit Flora and the embossing folder is called Fern & Flora and can be seen here. Unfortunately the Designer paper AND the embossing folder are out of stock right now. Very popular products!

  I took a little creative license and added White fern die-cuts here. I love the way they show up against the Moonlit Flora designer paper strip.

  The colors include Peaceful Pine, with White and the new Golden Glow in color.

  Save

  Which do you like better? All green and White on the upper right, or the pop of the additional Golden Glow?

  The pretty Moonlit Flora designer paper offers multiple patterns: See it here. Be sure to add your name to the product so you get an email when it’s back in stock.
