Teeny Tiney Basket for Spring

 

I have made this basket template many times, but always larger.  Recently my friend Lois gave me a tiny one and I thought it was just so cute this size.  And, it uses less candy to fill it up!

I used paper from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper Pack, with the Double Oval Punch and Petal Park Builder Punch to complete my basket.  There are so many ways that you can decorate these fun baskets.

Imagine these cuties at each place on the table at Easter.  Or put them on the desks of co-workers, in the mail slots of teachers, or anywhere! They will surely bring a smile. 

 

 

 

 

 

 In the past I have started with a 6x6 piece of designer paper or cardstock, but this one starts 4 1/2 by 4 1/2.   Simply score 1 1/2 inches on all four sides, leaving you with a grid of nine 1 1/2 inch squares.  Cut the flaps on two sides across from each other.  The Handle is 6 by 1/2.  You can attach the handle with glue or brads. Brads are a great choice because then your handles can move. You can even stack them for easier transport or storage if you move the handles to one side with the brads and then straighten them up when you are ready to use them.

Welcome Easter

Hi Everyone! I am using the new Welcome Easter Stamp set this week and it is just so cute!! The set has this adorable bunny and also a sheep and a check that are just as sweet.  I wanted to make a little Easter Basket as I do every year and I think it turned out great.
I used my Watercolor Pencils and a Blender pen to color in the stamped image. I think that this method gives the bunny a lighter and softer look.
The Easter Blessing stamp is embossed onto Calypso Coral cardstock with White Embossing powder. That stamp is from the Itty Bitty Greetings set.  The gingham paper behind the bunny is from the Pleased as Punch Designer Series Paper.  I also used the Basket Weave Embossing folder to give the project an even bigger basket feel.
 This super cute Easter Basket is also Super Easy to make.  Watch the video for tips and make one with me! If you do, I hope you will share it on my "Beth's Paper Cuts Idea Sharing Group" on Facebook.

I found these cute little chocolate carrots at Target, perfect for my bunny basket!

Easter Projects

Hi Everyone! I was off to the sunny Bahamas (the photos is my breakfast view each morning) and I had scheduled some posts to go up while I as gone.  It looks like most of them when up on my Facebook page, but not so much here on the blog. I must have done something wrong. Ah well, I was relaxing and so I will keep that relaxed attitude now that I am home and not stress about it!  Here are the projects that were supposed to go up.  Perhaps they will give you some Easter inspiration!

First up is the Easter Egg card. I have made several of these over the years with various Easter stamp sets.  This one uses the current 'Hello Easter' set. 





Inside is this cute little Easter Bunny and your greeting.  Inside white piece comes out of the pocket and you can write your message and sign it at the bottom.






Video how to for this card uses a set from last year, but the idea is the same and the measurements and how you put it together are the same.











Next up is this fun card that makes me think of a Hollow Easter Egg.  You could switch up the stamp sets for this one as well so that you can use the Hello Easter set or the 'A Good Day' set.











And lastly, one of my favorite paper baskets, the 2, 4, 6 basket.  Easy to make and so pretty!  Fill it with some Easter treats for someone you love!











Don't forget, we are in the final days of Sale-a-Bration!! Contact me with any questions or for help placing an order.

You're Inspiring ~ Stamp Camp To Go!

Hi Everyone! Today I have another Stamp Camp To Go!
This time I am focusing on the You're Inspiring stamp set.  This is a great spring time stamp set.  If you live in the mid-west like me, you are looking forward to seeing those springtime flowers poke through the snow.  Daffodils are one of my favorites.
These projects are great for those of you who like to color.  I have options for adding the Watercolor Pencils to the Stamp Camp To Go, which is what I used for my samples.  You could also use markers or Stampin' Blends as well.
To complete the projects, you would need Basic Black ink and adhesives, plus either use your own Watercolor pencils (or other coloring medium) or add them to the kit.

The stamp set has a Happy Easter, which is what I used on my samples, but it also has a Happy Birthday and some other stamps that you can use instead.
