May Basket with Butterfly Gala

In April we start planning for May Baskets and I have a May Basket with Butterfly Gala bundle.  This basket would work for a little Easter treat but I really love the idea of a May basket.

My daugther, Katie, made this cute mini basket for one of our Cabin Fever treats.

I loved it so I made a bigger version using the Happiness Blooms Designer Paper.

So, how do you make it — quite easy.

Attach the small flaps to the inside so it looks like this.

Next, wrap Tear & Tape around the block like above.

Start wrapping designer paper around the base — start in the middle, not even with one edge.

You will overlap the two short edges, then……..

Flatten the edges lightly, and use the 1/”2 circle punch to create the opening for the ribbon.

Here’s what your box/basketball looks like — SO FUN!!

I decorated the front by cutting a Whisper White label using the Wonderful Romance Framelit and stamp the greeting.  Then on scrap Whisper White, stamp the butterflies with Memento and Calypso Coral and punch out.  Attach the butterflies with Dimensionals and attach the label to the front of the basket with Dimensionals.

Fable Friends Easter Basket

One more Fable Friends item — how about an Easter Basket Box.  My daughter, Katie, made a small box for gifts at our Stampin’ Sisters Retreat and I just loved it.  I knew I wanted to make a bigger version for an Easter treat.  I found large plastic eggs filled with M & M’s and that was exactly what I wanted.  Next I had to figure out dimensions that I needed.  In just a little time I had my larger version but I wanted it to have a basket look — viola, the Basket Weave Embossing Folder to the rescue.  Of course the Fable Friends stamp set was what I needed for the front of my basket and the Gingham Gala designer paper finished off the inside of my box.  Take a look — what do you think?

Isn’t this squirrel adorable!!  He is stamped on a Stitched Shapes circle and that is attached to a Pearlized Doily.  I wanted the back of the circles to be finished too, so I punched a 2″ circle and attached to the back of the doily.

Anyone interested in making one?  I’m thinking of doing a Facebook Live Thursday night to share all the dimensions and how to make it.  Leave me a comment if you would like to see this.
