Easter Baskets with a New look!

I made this style of basket for my Easter baskets.  But they make great baskets for other occasions as well.  Take a look at the baskets I made for Christmas & Halloween!  The directions for these basket can be found on Stamp TV!

 I  used Spellbinder's beautiful Poinsetta die.  I just got this die and I really love it!  The ends of the basket have the JustRite stamps used with the Spellbinders die cut.  The center is a stamp I got from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I used Distress Ink to give it and aged look.  I made the handle using one of Martha Stewart's punches.

Same basket- different look!  I used JustRite stamps again for the side sentiment.  The bat is a Sizzix die.  Again, the handle is from an Edger punch from Martha Stewart.   I picked up the beading at a recent sale.  This style of basket is sooo easy and fun to make.  Now, I all have to do is add goodies!

Valentine Book Card

I love visiting Elly's blog!  Her cards are so beautiful!  I was inspired by her style of cards - they are all so very feminine!  This is called a Box Card and you can visit Elly's blog to see her Box Card here -

 She also has a link on her blog that will direct you to Tina's fabulous directions.   The dimensions are in centimeters.  I made my card 5" x 6"- so I had 2 strips that measured 5" x 10"  and 2 more strips that measured 6" x 10".   I just loved decorating this box card!  I haven't decided what to put inside.  I think little chocolate candies would be fun!  I plan on making another one and giving them to our girls!
