A Tisket, A Tasket...

I wanted to give a little something cute to my boss for Easter and decided I wanted to make her one of our cute Berry Baskets.  I wanted it to be a little stronger than just with card stock so I checked out our Clearance Rack and found that Under The Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper is still available there for $5.19 - quick go grab some!

The Under the Tree DSP is extra heavy for making boxes and is perfect for making these cute Berry (aka Easter) Baskets.  I cut out the DSP and some of our pretty papers from Sale-a-Bration - Cut two of each using the Berry Basket Bigz Die.

 

At first I glued the pretty DSP to the entire piece of cardstock DSP and found it didn't fold and line up very well.  So on my second attempt (the one shown in this post) I only glued the bottom of each section together and then glued the two together but didn't use glue any where else.

 

 



After putting the basket rim together, I stapled it to the top edges and they lined up perfectly.  When I glued them, they didn't line up well at all. 

I made a bow with the Bow Builder Punch, using the leftover DSP and added it to a doily that I folded over the edge.

It's empty for now, but on the way to work tomorrow - after my dreaded blood draw - ugh! I plan to stop and find something cute to put inside.

Thank you for looking in today.  If you are traveling for the Easter weekend, please be safe and remember the real meaning of this special holiday.

Happy Easter Weekend!

Christmas Under the Tree

I spotted this easy card by Martha Inchley and just have to give it a go.  I changed one of mine up a bit and CASEd her on the other one.

This is made out of cardstock-weight kraft sheets and comes in 12" x 12", with color print on one side and white printed patterns on the other.

Two of the patterns are seen on the card.

The deer / elk is colored with Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler and Coastal Cabana Blendabilities.

The base is Early Espresso cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".  The next layer is Whisper White cut at 5 1/4" x 4" and the DSP is 5 1/8" x 3 7/8".

Do you see something extra in here?  Post a comment if you see it.

 

Thank you for looking in today.  Can you tell I'm excited for Christmas?  I love to make cards for Christmas and I'm anxious to get them started!

 

Happy Friday - I hope you have some creative time this weekend!
