Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper Easter/Spring Basket
April 1st, 2010
Hi Stamper friends! I’m a bit tickled today! What do you think of my pictures? I got a photography lightbox, woohooo! The photos look nice, I think! What do you think?
I was just thinking the other day that I haven’t posted many videos this month. Usually I post 3 a week. Well, mom duties took priority with my 2 big girls home for the first 3 weeks of March, then the littlest girl has been on spring break this week.
I’ve said it before, I feel lucky that I have the flexibility to be home for them when they need me. We didn’t do anything “big” for their breaks, just some smaller fun things like ice skating, roller skating, swimming at the YMCA, movies, play dates, and of course, crafts. But that’s what “real life” memories are made of, right?
Plus, I figure those girls are getting a pretty big treat in 3 weeks and 2 days…but who’s counting? I have earned 6 out of the 6 Stampin’ Up Incentive Trips that I have been eligible for, and Randall and I have made the most wonderful memories of our own. Now it’s the girls’ turn to come along with us. On April 25 we all leave for the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip to the Southern Caribbean. Yipppee!
Ok…enough rambling…my project today is an Easter (or Spring!) basket. It’s simple to make with a square sheet of paper. I used a 9×9″ peice of Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up and scored at 3″ all the way around.
Cut on 2 opposite sides to the center score line, fold on all score lines. On each side, bring the top inside corners of the outside squares to meet in the middle of the middle square. HUH? Does that make sense?
Here, just view my video, it’s short ’cause this is EASY!

I love this basket precisely because it is so simple yet makes a great presentation for little goodies or as a centerpiece. My girls are on spring break from today through next week. Think I’ll herd them down into the craft room and get them making a few of these for Grandma’s house on Sunday.
Thanks, Catherine!
