Fun & Cute Basket Ideas
Spring is a time for splashy colors and making fun, cute baskets to give to loved ones and friends! My favorite colors are the bright lime greens, soft yellows, and of course the pinks, so I decided to make up these baskets for birthday gift giving and of course May Day surprises. You can find the die cut shapes on Sizzix or Amazon which I will highlight under the pictures. Remember, there is a TON of ideas on the Sizzix site and really look around you may find a cuter die cut that fits your style. For example, the butterfly. There are many to choose from and if I had a more detailed one I would have used that, but didn’t. I found Amazon provided some better basket boxes and Sizzix was sold out of a few. I had to bounce between the two and so may you. You will need a Big Shot or Cuttlebug to cut your dies. Once your into this machine your creative juices will really rock! I also have come to know another company, The Fun Stampers Journey. I have a link to a gal who would be happy to help you, as well as get some of the die cuts from her. Her name is Pam and she is sweet. When you go to her link, you can click on the catalog and look around. FSJ also has the bags! So enjoy shopping and being creative. To make the basket topper you will need either one of these:

Daisy dies cut, solid scallop dies to make the handle.

Scallop Lace Die Cut

Scallop Lace Die Cut

Any closed box basket will do

So cute this little purse! The same daisy dies cut too.
