More Easter Baskets

I have been quite distracted lately and have been busy making Easter baskets for my market stall. I think I have seen quite enough of these baskets to last me awhile!!! I ended up making some baskets with the Lauren Meader "Pack a Picnic" template found here.

I just love the size of these baskets, they can be filled with lots and lots of yummy chocolate!!! Or even one big one which will fit quite nicely.

This first one is made with Pink Passion cardstock and the mat layer is a very lovely DSP layered onto a piece of So Saffron.

This second one is made using some yellow cardstock that I had from my scrapbooking stash and teamed up with Pink Passion and a lovely So Saffron DSP. It's hard to see but the top flowers have been layered onto Pink Passion and So Saffron circles and popped up.

Now I decided to do this one a little differently without the handles and lid. I placed eyelets into the corners and tied my ribbon to hold it all together, very cute!! This is also using some blue cardstock from my stash teamed up with a very lovely DSP.

So there we have it, easter baskets all done and dusted!!!

I haven't made an actual card for so long now but I have just placed a nice little order so hopefully next week I will have some new stamps to play with and some pretty papers too.

Happy stamping,

Ready for Easter

I wanted to make some Easter goodies for my market stall so after going through some of my templates I finally decided on the Pretty Petal Pocket from the very talented Lauren Meader which you can find here.

Now here is one of my easter baskets and I will end up making some more because they are so easy and I love how they are a good size for a few yummy chocolate easter eggs.

The petal pocket is made up of some of my old cardstock that is no longer available. I had quite a stash of this Glorious Green cardstock so thought I would put it to good use. The DSP is also some from my stash of assorted Tangerine Tango designs. I made the little grass pieces on the bottom with the Oval punch and scored them in half to give them a bit of a 3D look.

It's hard to tell from the pic but I have stamped one of the stamps from Sprinkles with Tangerine Tango and the sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo over the top. The ribbons which hold the handles together are also from my stash (gotta love that!!).

So now I can say I have started with some Easter goodies!!! Now I have a lot more templates that I printed out today so hopefully over the next week or so I should have a nice little collection.

Happy stamping,
