Basket Full of Spring ~ Dies R Us

Hello, hello!  There's a new challenge starting up over at Dies R Us and the theme is "Anything Goes".  

I recently purchased this Woven Basket Pop Up Easel die set by Poppystamps from Dies R Us and since spring is upon us, I knew I wanted to use it to welcome in the season.  The die has open areas where you can ink through to add the woven design and handle.  I ink blended the background using Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron DOX inks.
  
I filled the basket using the grass that's included in the basket set and  Leabilities Young Birds, which was purchased during a Special Order Event.  


While I had the basket die out, I made another card, filling it with Christmas goodies.
What a wonderfully, versatile basket this will be!  I can see it filled with all kinds of seasonal goodies.  Keep your eyes open for another post using this amazing die, coming soon!

Here's a list of links to the products I used, 
or they will bring you directly to Dies R Us where you can sign up for the newsletter to be notified about the Special Order Events:


Be sure to visit the Dies R Us Challenge blog to see more inspiration and join in on the fun! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Both baskets are awesome! Nothing like a Spring Basket full of 'peeps' and a holiday basket full of yummy goodies, both are very tweet and sweet!!

Oh that basket is fabulous! I love how you did created 2 different themes. I bet a basket full of Spring flowers would be lovely too! It's great that you can stencil it as well, add so much depth! Very pretty!

These are wonderful, and I love when we can use a die for more than one occasion. Those little chicks are too cute, love the grass, big bow and flower with it too!
The Christmas basket is sweet too, that gingerbread man just put a big smile on my face, like how you put it all together!

I've had my eye on that basket for a while now and you've just helped me decide to get it. Love how versatile it is. You created two gorgeous cards for very different holidays. Beautifully done, Birgit!
