Sweet Blossoming Basket Easter Treat

Last week was the Annual General Meeting for my local WI, and guess what, I am now on the Committee! We played a fun game of Beetle Drive, a game I had never played before, yet I won! It must have been beginner's luck.

Why is this important? Because the prize was a Chocolate Easter Egg, which if you know me, is not something that I would eat, but everyone was offered a small egg, some of which particularly caught my eye because they were in Stampin' Up! In Colours; Emerald Envy and Flirty Flamingo! So I had to make a cute little basket for them. One basket for each egg.

The Blossoming Basket stamp set was the obvious choice, and of course it is FREE with a Qualifying Order until the end of the month. It is part of a Bundle with the Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder (which will be in the new Annual Catalogue, but for money!). I stamped it in Basic Grey Archival Ink on Shimmer White Card, fussy cut it out and then them coloured it in using Stampin' Write Markers.

I made a small open top box to house the egg and packed it out with some Ready Shreddy, coloured using alcohol and a few drops of reinker in a Stampin' Spritzer, sprayed onto white, for the Flirty Flamingo, and silver for the Emerald Envy.

A bow round the handle and a few rhinestones on the flowers and they were done. And I love them, they are such a great way to package up a small egg. I think they may feature on our Easter Dinner Table this year!

Remember that until 31st March, you will get FREE items for every £45 order (if you spend £90 you can either choose 2 Items, or 1 of the new Level 2 Items!!!).
