Double Flower Basket

One more basket — this time we made a double basket.  This basket is big enough to gather some flowers for your May Basket — see we're planning ahead.
Double Flower BasketWe cut out two complete berry baskets and assembled them together to create one big basket.  I lined the inside with a piece of cardstock to give the basket a little more strength.

I used the Petal Potpourri stamp set and coordinating Medallion Flower Punch to add layers of flowers to the outside of the basket on both sides.  The basket is from Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  The flowers are stamped on Perfect Plum cardstock with Blackberry Bliss ink and on Whisper White cardstock with Perfect Plum ink.  I added Rhinestones to the centers of the Whisper White/Perfect Plum flowers.

I almost forget, I added some of the Sahara Sand Lace Trim to the top edge of the basket for a very "ladylike" basket.

Bunny Basket

Here's another fun project we made at the Big Shot Berry Basket Die Class. 
Bunny BasketThis time we made the basket from Crumb Cake cardstock and the scallop trim at the top of the basket is Pool Party.  We added half of a doily to the top of one side.  We used the Polka Dot cardstock from the Irresistibly Yours DSP (remember only 4 days left to get this DSP package FREE — then it will be gone forever).  I sponged the bunny's body and paws of his feet with Pool Party ink.  I also sponged the center of his ears with Pool Party.  I added whiskers from pieces of White Baker's Twine that I gathered together and tied in the center.  The whiskers are put on the bunny face with a glue dot and a heart nose is put on top of them.  Of course I can't resist google eyes, they just make the bunny come alive.  Another great Easter basket to fill.

Peep Basket

I love this time of year for all the Easter candy especially PEEPS — I LOVE them.  I know most adults hate them but I just love them.  Unfortunately I can't have them this year.  The doctor put me on a "healthy eating" plan for health reasons (YUCK) so I can't have sugar but I still want them.  I was at Walmart tonight picking up some candy for my grandchildren (I know, bad grandma).  I couldn't believe all the flavors the peeps come in — that's just wrong, peeps aren't suppose to taste like anything but sugar.  Anyway……I made this basket at the Big Shot class earlier this week.
Peep BasketThe basket is cut from Stampin' Up!'s Coaster Board.  It is nice and thick & sturdy — I'll be able to put plenty of treats in this basket.  I lined the basket with one of the Best Year Ever DSP sheets — so cute, I love those colors.  I added a couple of Calypso Coral bows on the sides.  I stamped a tag made from the Ornate Tag Topper Punch and stamped the chick from Cheerful Critters — such a cute stamp set.  I added the For Peep's Sake to the chick and I'm putting a Peep in the bag with the tag on it.  So cute!!!  This was a very fun project to make.
