I HAD to get these done today - I had all the pieces cut out and the images colored and sitting on my desk - and I knew if I didn't finish them now I never would LOL!
These little round top boxes are a template from the SU site - you can download your own right here:
This was a technique challenge over on SCS last month too - you can check it out here (this was where I first found the template).
The idea to adhere two of the boxes together to make a basket I got from Julie here. As soon as I saw that I knew I had to make a couple for the girls!
I just printed off the template onto copy paper, cut it out then traced it onto cardstock. I used DoodleBug cardstockfor both baskets - on the 12x12 CS you can easily fit the template twice with some leftover.
After tracing, cutting out and assembling the boxes I adhered them back-to-back then punched out an oval for the handle and tied on some ribbon (SU!).
I stamped the images from the new CCD Hunny Bunny set onto white cardstock then colored them in with my Copics.
Once they were colored I highlighted areas with my white gel pen and cut them out.
I decided to adhere the images to the sides of the baskets as that way they hid all the seams LOL!
Other than the pink cardstock strips, and the yellow CS that I punched with my SU Eyelet Border punch (I am really liking that punch) I didn't add any other embellishments.
Since they're going to be given to Veronica and Josie closer to Easter I know what will eventually happen to them (well Veronica is old enough to take care of things but Josie still has some pretty destructive tendencies - with her own as well as V's toys) so I kept them as simple as possible!
The baskets turned out cut tho and I'm sure they'll love them (prolly not as much as the goodies that will be inside them but hey who can blame them LOL!!).
