Slatted Baskets for Easter

Pink, purple and yellow Easter baskets for my daughter and her roommates.  Splitcoast Stampers has this tutorial for a slatted basket on their website and it is easy peasy to do.  I decorated each one a little different even the handles.  I haven't filled them yet because I don't want to buy the candy until the last minute or I will eat it.  I used Graphic 45 paper, SU design paper and My Mind's eye paper. Just about any double sided paper will do.  I would like to try solid colored paper for the base and then design paper for the slats which I think would also be very pretty!  Check out some individual pictures of the baskets below.  Happy Easter and thanks for stopping by!

Easter Bunny Card

Loving this type of stair step card! I made this one for a dear, dear friend who is going have surgery next week and was thinking of her.  I know she will do fine but it can be hard when you are in the hospital over a holiday, no matter what holiday it is.  This is the second card that I have made for Easter and I just love making them.  This type of card is my new favorite one.  The paper is so pretty from Bo Bunny which is so appropriate since I decorated the card with bunnies, bunnies, bunnies!!  The bunny die is from Die-namics as well as the Easter basket.  It is hard to see but the Easter basket has embossing lines in it which makes it a more finished look.  The eggs in the basket are actually the balloon punch from Martha Stewart.  The tulips are punch art with the bird punch from SU.  The link to make this card is on my earlier post to this one.  This is Palm Sunday coming up and then next week is Easter!!  Happy Easter everyone!!

Family Easter Baskets

Time again to make some Easter Baskets for the family.  On pinterest I saw this tutorial which has 2 parts. The first video and then the second for this basket.  It is really very easy but you will need the sizzix scallop envelope die also some ribbon, DP, solid cardstock, decorative brads and decorative border punch.  I also did a purple one which is shown below.  It is a really good size basket which measures 5 1/2-6 inches roundish.

I can't decide whether or not to glue the flaps down or not.  Hope you enjoyed this little basket and try to make one for your family.  Easter will be here before you know it!  Happy Easter  Everyone!!
