Easter is fast approaching so you might enjoy making an Easter Basket of Flowers Card on a Basket Weave Background. Even if you don’t have these exact supplies, this card might give you an idea for your own creation with whatever supplies you own!
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. This Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder works magic on a plain piece of cardstock! You will just gasp when you take the paper out of the folder and see the deep embossing that looks like basket weave! For best results, spritz some water lightly on the cardstock first, or some people recommend spritzing rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol tends to dry faster but really by the time I run the paper through the Big Shot and work on my card, my paper is dry. Don’t get it “wet”…just spritz it.
The Basket Weave Folder is available in a Bundle with the Blossoming Basket Stamp Set during Sale-A-Bration with a $100 purchase. And if you would rather pay for it in the future, you will be able to buy the Embossing Folder in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. Either way, I think you will LOVE this embssoing folder! And of course it is perfect for Easter and Spring cards!
For this card, I embossed Crumb Cake Cardstock for the basket weave background and adhered that to a card base of Whisper White Cardstock.
The basket of Easter flowers is stamped with the Blossoming Basket Stamp Set and colored in. Even though the Stampin’ Blends markers are not orderable right now, you can use other coloring techniques like the Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pen. I cut out the basket just around the outside and left the part inside the handle alone. I don’t think it takes anything away from the look of the basket. Besides, the pretty bow at the top of the basket will catch the eye of anyone looking at the card! The ribbon is the Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon.
And for a little something to set off the basket, I pulled out a doily from my stash! Sometimes a doily or even a piece of a doily is just what a card needs! This one is the Delicate White Doilies by Stampin’ Up! I really like the look of the doily on this card!
The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, the stamp set that has practically every greeting you will need! It’s punched with the Classic Label Punch and accented with two Enamel Shapes.
There you have it! A card you could use for Easter, for spring, for a birthday, anniversary, and more! Make a card you can send someone for Easter or another occasion like this Easter Basket of Flowers Card on a Basket Weave Background.
