THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today’s project was inspired by a project I made last year at a Paper Angels Team Day. It is a sweet and simple Easter basket.

The basket is made using a 7 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ piece of Lost Lagoon card.

It was scored at 2 1/2″ along both sides. Along the top and bottomsides, the card was cut 2 1/2″ in, leaving the centre panel uncut.

Then I cut six 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″ Basic White squares. They were then embossed using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

These embossed pieces were attached to the three panels on each side of the base.

I used Tombow Multipurpose Glue to overlap and adhere the top and bottom panels to create these angeled basket sides.

Before securing the central Lost Lagoon panel, I created the handle. I used a 3/4″ length of Lost Lagoon card and a 5/8″ strip of Basic White card.

The white card was also embossed, in two steps. Then the embossed strip was attached to the Lost Lagoon base piece.

I adhered the handle inside the basket and then the remaining Lost Lagoon panels were glued over the top of the handle ends to secure them.

The basked was finished with soem die cut and assembled eggs and a stamped and die cut Easter greeting.

Finally, I added some Lost LAgoon Tinsel Gems 3 Pack embellishments.

Last, but not least, I added some Easter eggs to the backet.

TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

The Sale-a-bration product I want to share with you today is the Cradled with Love Photopolymer Stamp Set.

It is such a sweet stamp set and looks amazing when you use soft pastel colours.

TIP: Stamp the bottom half of the cradle onto a piece of Masking Paper and cut around outside of the image. Stamp the cradle on a smaller piece of Basic White card and then position the masking paper cut out directly over the stamped cradle. Then stamp the rug image so that the back cradle legs align to the gaps at the top of the rug. Remove the masking piece and colour the rug.

After I finished colouring the rug, I went on to finish colouring the stamped image using Stampin’ Blends. The coloured piece was then attached to a Lemon Lolly matte panel.

I used a Lemon Lolly card base for this card. Then I cut Lemon Lolly and Basic White panels and glued them together before embossing them with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

I chose this embossing folder because it has a similar rattan look that many cradles also have.

I took a length of Bubble Bath ribbon from the Sheer Ribbon Combo around the embossed panel and tied it in a knot and trimmed the ends.

The stamped image was then attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped on a thin strip of card and attached with dimensionals.

I stamped a small elephant on the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I will have another project using one of the FREE Sale-a-bration products that are available, while stocks last, until the end of February.

Until then, happy stamping.
