Easter Basket W Large Handle ~Double D Challenge

Hello friends ~  Double D Challenges is starting a new challenge today and the theme is "Things with Handles".  

....Interesting!  

I confess that I picked out my die before looking at the mood board.  

I asked myself, what types of things have handles, and the first thing that came to my mind was this Woven Basket Pop Up Easel die from Poppystamps.  I did all the inking in the background and on the basket using DOX inks.  

I filled the basket with the grass and leaf dies that are included in the set and then I added this sweet bunny from Lil' Inkers Bunnies & Bows.  I added some clear stickles glitter glue to the berries.

The big bow on top  of the basket is also included in the Poppystamps basket die.  

I enjoyed working with this die set so much!  You may recall me using it in this post here for Dies R Us.

  I also went on to make another basket card, filling it with Christmas goodies.

I had some Christmas dies that I put together before Christmas, left over and they filled this basket perfectly!

Here's a photo of all three basket cards together:

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!

Things With Wings ~ DRU Challenge

Hello~  We're starting a new challenge over at the DRU challenge blog and the theme is "Things with Wings".

I enjoy feeding the birds during the long winter month's.  They make me smile as I watch their funny antics at the bird feeders outside my window.  Dee's Distinctively Winter Robin is such a pretty die and just perfect for this challenge.

I started by cutting the Elizabeth Craft Designs Entwined Hearts from brown cardstock.  I added leafy sprigs from Cheery Lynn Designs Floral Bouquet.  The nest is from Leabilites Young Birds set, which was purchased during a special order event.  The lovely edge is Frantic Stampers Lovely Arched Loop Edger.

I hope you enjoy today's card and that it lifts your spirits.  You can find all the details of the challenge and join in on the fun here.
