Easter Basket Tutorial
Posted by: | CommentsAfter receiving many requests for the instructions to make the Easter Baskets I posted last week, I decided to give you a photo step-by-step tutorial so you can make one (or 50) for yourself!
SCALLOP ENVELOPE EASTER BASKET
To make a basket, you will need:
- Big Shot and Scallop Envelope die – 2 die cut from desired cardstock
- same cardstock color cut to 1 5/8″ x 7 5/8″ (I used So Saffron)
- designer series paper cut to 1 1/2″ x 11″ ( I used Tea Party dsp)
- embellishments and Sticky Strip adhesive
STEP 1.
Fold all tabs on envelopes – don’t fold on scallop flap fold.
Score the So Saffron cardstock strip at 2 1/4″ and 5 1/2″.
STEP 2.
Adhere bottom tab of one envelope to the middle portion of So Saffron strip.
STEP 3.
Repeat with second envelope.
STEP 4.
Turn the basket over and apply Sticky Strip along the score lines of all 4 side tabs. Remove red backing from adhesive, one at a time and secure to So Saffron strip creating a box.
STEP 5.
Wrap and adhere the dsp strip around box starting at the front. When you are finished, you will not see a dsp seem as the front flap and embellishments will hide it.
Bring front flap down and secure with Sticky Strip.
STEP 6.
Using the large oval punch (small oval would work also), punch handle from remaining scallop flap. Embellish your basket as desired.
I would love to see your basket creations!!
TTFN!

Easter Baskets
Posted by: | Comments
These little baskets were given at my Stair-Step cards class earlier this week as “thanks for coming” gifts. I love making fun little suprises to give out at my classes. These were especially fun to put together. Can you guess which Big Shot die I used to make these?
TTFN!
