I may not have the fancy dishes and table decorations that I saw on the Houston Azalea Trail last Friday, but at least I can make my own basket with the Berry Basket Die and decorate with the Butterflies Thinlits Dies #137360.

I got this idea from the sample in our demonstrator magazine, Stampin’ Success. Mine is made a little differently, but I copied the main elements. Stampin’ Up! made their sample with Coaster Board, a heavier material that would truly be better for making a sturdy basket. Rather than stamping a smaller butterfly, I just die cut the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper available during Sale-A-Bration. The larger butterfly is die cut from the paper in the Sweet Taffy DSP.

Here are the new Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deals!

It’s always fun to see the new Weekly Deals! Stock up on two colors of Baker’s Twine and the bright and happy All Abloom DSP Paper Stack. If you’re looking for spring, get the Wildflower Meadow Stamp Set and matching embossing folder. There’s also Gold Glitter for pizzazz and you’ll love the Cotton Ribbon!

The Butterflies Thinlits Dies, as  I write this, are backordered and they can’t be ordered at this time. As soon as Stampin’ Up! gets more in stock, they will turn the number back on.

In the mean time, you can purchase the Berry Basket Die and any of the Weekly Deals in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store!
