This Easter Joy Suite Collection is one that I think is really worthwhile if you like Easter, Spring, or baskets! I am so thrilled with this basket on the Easter Joy Easter Basket With Flowers Card, and I only did the easy version! The die in the Easter Basket Dies cuts out the basket with the handle and it makes slits through which you can really weave other pieces, but if you don’t do that, the lines just look like a decoration on the basket so you can leave it plain. Such possibilities!
This card starts with a base of Crumb Cake cardstock. I put the fold at the top for a change. The green plaid paper is in the Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper. The designer paper is slightly thicker than usual and some of it is slightly shiny and some has some metallic foil for extra shine! I love the designs of stripes and other generic designs, bunnies, flowers, chicks, Easter eggs, and baskets. There are also some cut-apart panels on which you can make your own scene for a card or scrapbook item. I layered the plaid designer paper on Shy Shamrock cardstock to help it stand out.
The basket is diecut from a piece of the designer paper with the stripes, but I used the Crumb Cake colored side. That made the basic basket and attached handle. (Save the diecut piece from inside the handle. I think you could use it as a hidden Easter egg in the grass on another project!) I diecut the scalloped piece out of Crumb Cake card stock for the front of the basket and a grassy piece out of Shy Shamrock. The basket itself is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, with a teeny tiny one at the top of the basket handle.
I had already stamped, colored, and diecut the little chick and flowers in the Easter Basket Stamp Set. While you have your stamps and ink out, go ahead and stamp a bunch of these images on Basic White cardstock, then they’ll be ready to use on more projects! They are glued flat on the card behind the grass in the basket.
The greeting is also in the Easter Basket Stamp Set. It is stamped with Shy Shamrock ink just on a scrap strip of Basic White. Since the basket is popped up, I added a Dimensional under each end of the greeting and put a little glue under the middle that will go across the basket. For some fun embellishments, I used some teeny tiny pink eggs in the Easter Assortment. This package has 100 adhesive-backed pieces, dots and eggs. The dots are Lemon Lolly and Balmy Blue and the eggs are Pretty In Pink.
You will have fun making cards and scrapbook pages with this Easter Joy Suite Collection or even just the designer paper and Easter Basket Bundle. This is a good time to order any of the products while it is in stock before everyone starts rushing to buy Easter things. And remember….
