A-Tisket, A-Tasket...

...A Pretty Easter Basket...
 

Bree here today from Craft-somnia Momma and I have a cute little Easter Basket to share with you today.  I can not take credit for the design though...I found a great YouTube video HERE from Caroline Hallett. The basket featured in her video is a bit bigger than the one I made, but I shared the measurement changes in my post today over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  Head on over and check it out!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Naturals White, Watercolor Paper, Soft Sky

Ink ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Sky, Crushed Curry

Stamp Sets ~ Chalk Talk, Backyard Basics

Other Supplies ~ Chalk Talk Framelits, Backyard Basics Framelits, 1-1/4" & 1-3/8" Circle Punches, Regals Buttons, Subtles Buttons, Burlap Ribbon, Crochet Trim, Metallic Clothes Pins

 

We made this at my Stamp Club this month and everyone loved it!  There are so many other ways to decorate and embellish these adorable little baskets.  Be on the lookout for another great idea from my good friend and fellow SSInk design team member, Cynthia at Ink-A-Doodle-Creations.  We had a friendly little challenge between the two of us creating these baskets and she will be posting hers next week.  Stay tuned!

 

I hope I've INKspired you to CREATE something fabulous today! 

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 

 



Backyard {Basics} Egg Hunt

Good Sunday morning friends!  Any stampin' plans today?  It's kind of a drizzly day here today...perfect day to spend in my craft room :-)  Last night I had my Burlap and Blooms wreath class and we all had so much fun!  I had 18 crafty ladies packed into my house...we laughed, we wrapped (burlap), we glued and we ate.  This is what I love most about Stampin' Up!...the friendships that have been made and all the fun we have! 

Before everyone arrived last night, I did have a bit of time to sneak in a little stamping time.  I'm trying to stay ahead of the game and decided it was time to work on some Easter creations.  This card might just be one we make in my March Stamp Clubs :-)

Confession time...I have had a pack of Natural Composition paper for well over a year and this is only the second time I've used it.  WHY?!?!?!  This paper is gorgeous with the shiny, embossed patterns!  It was the perfect paper for my card!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Sky, Eastern Elegance DSP, Watercolor paper, Natural Composition Specialty

Ink ~ Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Metallic Gold, VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ Backyard Basics, Delightful Dozen, Gorgeous Grunge

Other Supplies ~ Tea Lace Paper Doilies, Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Gold Bakers Twine, Gold Embossing Powder

 

Wondering where that gold button came from?  I embossed one of the Very Vintage Designer Buttons with gold embossing powder.  This picture doesn't do it justice...it is beautiful! 

 

I have some ideas in my head for an Easter basket to go along with this card...now it's time to see if I can bring those ideas to life!

 

Happy Stamping!
