Berry Basket with Trim

Just can't get enough of making these berry baskets with the Berry Basket Bigz Die on page 21 of the 2015 Occasions Catalog.  They are so much fun to make and so many ideas to create them.  This time, I used the DSP Subtles Series Paper Stacks for the trim and liner of this basket.  It is held together using the Stapler from the 2015 Occasions Catalog on page 21.  I also stamped on Whisper White cardstock stamps From the Garden stamp set and cut them out with the Hand-Picked Framelit Dies.  Both of these can be purchased as a bundle to save 15% on page 20 of the 2015 Occasions Catalog.

Berry Basket with Strawberries

Today, my club members and I made this cute little strawberry basket and it was a big hit!  It was really fun to make using the Berry Basket Bigz Die from the 2015 Occasions Catalog.  We made the basket out of Crumb Cake cardstock and used the Hardwood Background Stamp to make it look like a wooden basket.  We stapled our scallop trim to the basket with the new Stapler from the Occasions Catalog.  The strawberries were made from a pattern I found HERE  using Real Red Cardstock, but for the Garden Green stem we used a die from the Flower Flair Thinlets.  We embossed the strawberries with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  We put a Hershey's kiss inside each strawberry.  We used Baker's Twine to gather the strawberry and stem together.  It is not in the picture, but we added some hand-picked signs inside our baskets from the Hand-Picked Framelit Dies also from the Occasions Catalog.

Petals Potpourri

Just love making these Berry Basket cards with the new Berry Basket Die.  The colors I chose were Daffodil Delight and Perfect Plum, but also Elegant Eggplant on the Woodgrain stamp for the basket.  The flowers are from the stamp set Petal Potpourri.  The little "Happy Spring" sign is from the set From the Garden and cut out with the Handpicked Framelit.  I'm so happy that winter seems to be finally over and I saw daffodils in bloom the other day!!

Chick Basket

My demo friend, Carol Barr sent me a swap very similar to this one.  This was so much fun to make using the Berry Basket die and the Petal Potpourri stamp set.  The chick is made with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Bird Builder Punch and Boho Blossom Punch.  The "enjoy" is from the Hello You Thinlets. When you pull out the chick, there is a Ghirardelli Square inside. The inside is stamped with "Happy Spring" or "Happy Easter" from the Crazy About You stamp set. The colors are Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise  and Melon Mango.  I plan on making a few more of these today.   So much fun!

Love Is Kindess Basket card

Just love using the new Berry Basket Die, so decided to create a card using it.  I cut a single basket using the Crumb Cake and then cut it in half.  I folded it up on the score line and created a trim for the basket using the Coastal Cabana cardstock.  I used the flowers from  Love is Kindness on a tag that I made using the Ornate Tag Topper Punch and colored them in with markers.  The colors are Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride and Wild Wasabi.  I stamped the flower set again on a scrap of Whisper White and colored in a few more colors to attach on top of the other flowers to give it a dimensional look.  I attached the Coastal Cabana Thick Baker's Twine to the tag.  The "Happy Spring" is from the stamp set Crazy About You.  The background is Daffodil Delight and the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder on a base card of Coastal Cabana.

Berry Baskets

Just had so much fun making these Berry Baskets with the new Berry Basket Bigz Die #137366 that is in the Occasions 2015 Catalog.  They are so easy and fun to make.  The colors I used were Marina Mist, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delights and you can see how I made them below in the videos.

Berry Basket and Butterfly Basics

 

Easter is April 5th this year, so I decided to  create this Easter Berry Basket today.   First, I added a Tea Lace Paper Doily on the one side of my basket.  I added a butterfly with the Butterflies Thinlets using Strawberry Slush cardstock.  Then, I used the Butterfly Basics stamp Whisper White cardstock with Strawberry Slush ink.  I added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels for the butterfly body.  The eggs were purchased at a craft store and I shredded some scraps of Whisper White cardstock for the filler inside my basket.   I probably need to add some chocolate candy to complete my basket.

Berry Basket with Bows and Liner

I love making these little Berry Baskets.  The video below shows you how to make them.  I cut mine out from Marina Mist cardstock and cut out the Marina Mist DSP for the liner.  Then I attached a bow made with the Bow Builder Punch to attach to the sides.  These 4" little baskets will make cute little Easter baskets, May Baskets, Birthday baskets, so many uses.  I plan to make some more tomorrow.
