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.

  You can get a share of this pretty designer paper in my Annual Catalog paper share. I still have a few spots left! Message me here Details are at the bottom of this post.

  My colors include Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink & Balmy Blue.  The pretty die-cut flowers are all from the Awash in Beauty designer paper.  The Organic Beauty dies are designed perfectly to match the DSP!  The only stamping I did here are the two greetings; all of the flowers are die-cut from either card stock or DSP.

  Do you see the little bit of color on the Pink blossom die-cut?  I used Wink of Stella and my White craft ink to add color. Watch the video below to see how.
