Happy Easter

Wishing every one a HAPPY EASTER!
Rejoice in the season.

This is my Easter card I sent to friends and family. Since the outside said you crack me up, I decide to put a different knock, knock joke into each card.

Here is one of my favorites.

Knock, knock!

Who's there?

Heidi.

Heidi who?

Heidi the eggs around the house.

You crack me up!

Here is a cute Easter card.

Inspired by a few others who had created cards that opened.

I stamped the images from A Good Egg stamp set.

Even including some words when the egg is opened. 

I used the beautiful Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper to dress up this egg.

Carrot

Ears wishing you a 

happy day.

To make this carrot you will need the  Stampin' Up! Pennant bigz xl die. The back piece is cut slightly smaller than the front, allowing it to lay flat.

Thank you to my good friend, Fairle, for sharing this adorable carrot project.

I changed mine just a little. I wanted to stamp on this cute bunny from the Animal Crackers stamp set.

How did I make my weaved basket from paper?

Several have asked how I made my basket. 
Well, I used a quick simple technique to get the weave started.

First I placed 4 strips

 

   
 

then 4 more 

then 3 more 

and finally I only had to weave the last 3. 

Pushing them all into the center. 

 

Flip it over. Take a piece of 3 1/4" square to cover the centers and make it easier to fold the strips up. 

Now you are ready to start weaving strips around the box. 

I adhered each corner before turning to the next side this will give it strength.

 

After doing 4 strips high

 

I then cut off any excess paper on the top so I could place 4 Scallop envelope together as a box inside by basket. To finish off this basket I used a 3/4" strip folded in half to go around the top edge. Add the rest of your embellishments (ribbon, brads etc). 

Happy Crafting

I have made several of these adorable baskets. They will be used as gifts and door prizes for a few differnet events. I am even saving one to be used as my blog candy to be drawn at the end of the month. So don't forget to comment today to get entered into the drawing.

This idea was cased from MJ's blog.

Thanks for the inspiration!

This was a rather simple project when I figured out what I was doing. Using Sale-A-Bration stamp, paper and ribbon I was able to create my own little basket. 

Delicate Dots Designer Series into strips of paper and weaved them together to make this adorable project.
