I’ve had a lovely holiday spending a glorious few days visiting my daughter down south. We were very lucky with the weather and have enjoyed lots of lovely day trips and barbeques in the garden every evening – bliss! Long may the lovely weather continue.
I thought I’d share photos of the Easter baskets I made. The small baskets are the make and takes we did at Michelle’s training earlier this month. I used butterflies made with the Stampin Up embosslit to decorate this one for my daughter and filled it with mini eggs:
I made punch art bunnies to decorate these baskets for my neighbour’s children. I added name tags using the word window punch and a small heart made with the heart to heart punch to finish off. I wrote their names with a stampin write marker pen in certainly celery:
I also made a larger basket for my daughter’s fiancé … so I could put more chocolate inside of course! :
I followed instructions on Sandy’s blog to make the woven basket. I used one sheet of textured 12″ x 12″ cardstock and it took a little time to make but I loved it when it was done, and it’s surprisingly sturdy too. I also made the paper straw for the inside by putting the packing paper from my latest delivery from Stampin Up through my shredder – love it!
