Floral Frames Easter Basket
I would probably say with out a doubt that Stampin' Up! framelits are my absolute fav. So of course when I saw this basket on Brenda Quintana's blog I just knew I had to make it. It was so cute that I decided that we would make it in class. The girls loved it! Like I said before my fav and I don't think I have had a class that I haven't used them in. Can't wait for the new catalog in hopes that there will be more of them headed our way. Anyways back on to topic. Here is the basket completed. I changed mine a bit to make it a little more sturdier.
Ingredients:
CS - Primrose Petals, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Whisper White
DSP - Brights Patterned Paper, Daffodil Delight
Ink - Primerose Petals
Framelits - Floral Frames
Ribbon - 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon - Lucky Limeade, Pool Party
Punch - 1 1/4"scallop punch
Stamp Set - Spring Sampler # 125512 (spring catalog pg. 23)
Big Shot
Simply Scored Scoring Tool
Step 1 - Using the largest flower from the floral frames framelits cut out the Primerose Petals.
Step 2 - Using the second to largest flower cut the Daffodil Delight patterned DSP.
Step 3 - Adhere the flowers together.
Step 4 - Starting with Daffodil side up score the flower tip all the way across to the other flower tip on the opposite side. The easiest way to do this is to mark the 6" grove on your scorer at the top and then another mark just below your flower to make lining it up easier. Do this four times all the way around your flower.
Step 5 - Flip over flower and score the indented parts of the flower all the way across just as you did in step 4.
Step 6 - Using Pool Party card stock cut out both the smallest flower framelit and the second to smallest flower framelit.
Step 7 - Take the smallest flower and adhere it to the middle of the larger flowers.
Step 8 - Fold flower like an accordion.
Step 9 - Cut a 3/8" x 8" strip of Lucky Limeade CS. This will give the ribbon strength in order to keep it's shape.
Step 10 - Cut a 8" piece of lucky limeade ruffled ribbon and adhere it to the Lucky Limeade strip.
Step 11 - Put a piece of sticky strip on the ends of the lucky limeade strip and adhere it to the lower sides of the flower basket.
Step 12 - Adhere the second to smallest pool party flower to the bottom of the basket.
Step 13 - Stamp your image
Step 14 - Punch out your image using the 1-1/4" scallop circle punch
Step 15 - Punch a small hole in the top of the scallop and run the pool party ribbon through it.
Step 16 - Attach scalloped punch image to the handle of the basket.
Step 17 - To finish it off add a cellophane bag filled with treats.
Hope you enjoyed this project and thanks for stopping by.
