Easter Baskets from Gerry

Hello Sizzix friends!

Gerry's here today with some Easter inspiration.

I have two Easter Baskets to share with you today which 

I made for my kids. These baskets will be part of their decoration

during their Easter breakfast at school.

655268 Sizzix Big Shot Machine

657724 Sizzix ScoreBoards Die - Candy Cup

657707 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Die - Flower Burst w/Ribbon

657747 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Die - Regal Edging

658506 Sizzix Sizzlits L - Vintage Doily

I used peel cardboard (1.5mm) to die cut the base for the basket. 

Then I chose pattern papers to "dress it up".

I sanded the edges of each side of the basket.

To make the Flower Burst w/Ribbon more stable I die cut it three times -

twice using white cardstock and once using pattern paper.

Then I adhered them to one another. 

I added Pearl Drops and a paper flower on top.

I also inked a little bit the edges.

The Regal Edging strip die was cut as normal.

I removed one of the die-cut pattern as I needed 4 for one basket.

Fold in 4 so it will look quadratic and adhere only in the middle

of each side of the basket.

Add a twine and a flower to the front side.

Die cut the  Vintage Doily and adhere underneath each basket.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Webster's Pages - "Modern Romance" Collection

Webster's Pages - "New Beginnings" Collection

Webster's Pages - "Best Friends" Collection

Prima Marketing Flowers - Velvet Rainbow Brights

 I hope you enjoyed my projects today!

Wishing you a Happy Sunday!

Halloween Treats

Here are a couple of quick and fun decorating ideas for your Halloween holiday table! Can you guess what I used to make the little ghosts? Leave your guesses in the comments...

The ScoreBoard Candy Cup was cut from orange matboard and stamped with a 

spider web and black bird...

I used the ScoreBoard Cupcake Stand to make the base. I covered matboard with spray adhesive  and silver glitter wrapping paper.

Black and orange crepe paper was gathered and formed into a nest in the Cupcake Ruffle die for the ghost. I left some of it sticking up to soften the edge.

Signs were made by cutting out pennants from the Cupcake Stand die and wrapping
them around a silver pipe cleaner.

Happy Halloween everyone!
