Welcome to the Fun Folds Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators, March 2024 edition. We’re so glad you decided to hop by. You’ll find a line-up after my project to help you hop from blog to blog. Sit back and enjoy the show. You’ll have an opportunity to comment at the bottom of this project.

Let’s get started!

If you think you’ve seen this basket on my blog before, you’d be right!  You’ll find a link to my original post (back in 2018) at the end of this one.  They are so easy! Perfect for a last minute Easter or Spring basket.  

The Designer Series Paper (DSP), Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″, is retiring soon.  Look at these beautiful, bright colors and designs.

Nuts & Bolts:

Supplies & Paper Cuts:

• Thick Basic White Cardstock – 6″ x 6″ (1 piece); 1″ x 8-1/2″ (1 piece); scraps 2 pieces approximately 2″ square
• Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (DSP) (retiring soon) – 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″ (8 pieces);  3/4″ x 8-1/2″ (1 piece)
• Decorative Circle Punch (retiring soon)
• Easter Bunny Punch (retiring soon)
• Corner Rounder Punch (retired)
• Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (retiring soon)
• Linen Thread
• Multipurpose Liquid Glue
• Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Tear & Tape
• Non-Stampin’ Up! items – Tiny cotton balls; Easter grass

Instructions:

1. Score 6″x 6″ piece of Thick Basic White Cardstock at 2″ and 4″. Turn the square 90 degrees and repeat. You’ll have nine 2″ squares if you’ve done it correctly. See picture below
2. Cut the middle square on the both sides just to the score line. Do NOT cut it completely off.  Repeat for the opposite side.
3. Round two corners of the outside squares AND  four of the DSP squares. (See below) Make sure to pay attention to any directional pattern on the DSP.
4. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue OR Stampin’ Seal to adhere the DSP squares to the basket.
5. Fold an burnish all score lines.
6. Create the basket handle by adhering the 3/4″ x 8-1/2″ DSP strip to the Basic White Strip with Tear & Tape.
7. Fold up the basket using liquid glue to attach the handle and glue the sides.
8. Use the Decorative Circle and Easter Bunny punches to decorate the basket sides. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to build the decoration and attach them to the basket sides.
9. Embellish with Linen Thread Bows and Purple Shimmer Gems.
10. Fill with Easter Grass or shreds.

Your basket will look like this at at step 5, before folding into a basket.
