Make an Easter card with  a basket of flower blossoms using the beautiful stamp, Blossoming Basket. You can earn this stamp set free during Stampin’ Up!’s promotion called Sale-A-Bration! With a $100 purchase, you can earn not only this Blossoming Basket Stamp Set but also the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Check out the Blossoming Basket Bundle.

The card base is made with Crumb Cake Cardstock. Then I chose Blushing Bride for a pink background layer and embossed it with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder.  I am still saying “Wow!” every time I open up that embossing folder and take out the embossed paper! The Dynamic heavyweight folder really embosses the paper into a deep basket weave!  It’s best to spritz the paper with a little bit of water or rubbing alcohol to dampen the paper fibers to allow for the deep embossing.  It really is stunning!

I stamped the basket with Memento Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and enjoyed coloring everything in with my Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. 

• Unfortunately, Stampin’ Up! just announced that they will turn off the ordering for these markers on Friday, March 23 at Noon (MT). The good news is that so many people love these markers that they were selling like hotcakes, but the bad news is that was happening at the same time as factories were shutting down in China for Chinese New Year and whatever other difficulties the supplier was having to keep up with the demand. So to take some time to catch up, Stampin’ Up! is making the markers unorderable until the supply is restocked probably the end of May.  You can try getting some of the markers that you want before Friday and get the rest later on.  This way you can still take advantage of Sale-A-Bration even if you have to wait for all your markers.  But do it before the deadline tomorrow!

I die cut the Whisper White paper with the basket using the Lots of Layers Framelits Dies. The Easter greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The bow is tied with the Powder Pink 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon.  And for a bit of embellishment, I adhered two little Subtles Enamel Shapes to the ends of the greeting.

This Basket Weave Embossing Folder is going to be available in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog, if you happen to  miss out during Sale-A-Bration. I’m not sure about the Blossoming Basket Stamp Set, but it will not be bundled with the Folder even if it is.

Of course this Easter Card With a Basket of Flower Blossoms is not just for Easter, just change the greeting or don’t even put on a greeting and you have a beautiful card for any occasion!
