Easter is less than a month away and it's time in the craft world to start planning our gifts and treats for the loved ones in our life. I just LOVE this Berry Basket Die and all the possibilities that it brings to my crafting world. Here is one of my new favorites.
So how about a picture tutorial on how to put it together and what pieces you will need. Start by die cutting the basket pieces with Baked Brown Sugar paper if you want to match mine. Start by gluing the scallop strips together as shown.
Leave the scallops up on your work surface just like in the picture above. Now it's time to add the basket pieces.
I was re-introduced to Fast Fuse last Friday at our all group meeting by my wonderful upline Meg Loven. She reignited my passion for it. Now I know a better way to use it. Instead of ending with the check mark she said to roll our tape and then make a sharp 90 degree swipe at the end. This works perfectly. I used it on these pieces of the basket.
Hold your basket inside your scallop edging. Center the basket on each side of the edging and adhere.
Set your basket aside now it's time to make Mr. Rabbit!
You will need the above punches and pieces to complete your basket like mine. Be creative I think the ear and feet pieces could easily be interchanged.
Now you need to do a little modifying to the bunnies feet.
Using the 1/2" circle punch you want to take the die cut image on the right to something that duplicates the image on the left. To do this you need to do the following:
And then this:
Sponge all your bunny pieces on the edges with pink pirouette ink and a sponge or blushing bride it's really a personal preference on how dark you want your edges to be. Now it's time to put him together. you can put your feet and tail where ever you would like. Here are a couple of different ideas. I like them both.
Or
I kind of split the difference in my final bunny. NOTE here that I added some little pads to his feet with a Blushing Bride Marker
Sorry for the blur but I think you can see that I double stacked my Stampin' Dimensionals on my bunny head so that I get some depth so my bunny really looks like he is jumping into my basket of goodies!
Then I used my fringe scissors to make it look like he is jumping right out of the grass into my basket.
