Good Morning!!!! I am an over the moon with this super sweet basket that the talented Sarah Will designed for the Thursday 3-D Group!
I am always so amazed at the talent and ideas that stampers (just like you and I) all come up with! The minute I saw this posted I beamed from ear to ear as this is the type of little “something-something” that is sure to bring a smile to someone! 🙂
As the sayin’ goes in life…“there are the ups and then there are downs”….
The UP is…I have a free PDF that Sarah created that you can make this yourself and then there are the DOWNS… and that is this Bundle (the BUNNY) is no longer available and that makes me sad….for both you and I! 🙁
I guess you could say that bunny HOPPED his way off the shelf !
One thing FOR SURE is…that you could recreated this with other products that you have and honestly….my lower lip is down as Stampin’ Up! was not able to fulfill my order for this sweet bundle as well…..
All I can say is…OH WELL – and I guess that I needed to HOP ON IT EARLIER and bought the bundle earlier when the catalog first came out!
I know that you all get excited with you see cute projects like this and here is the best tip I can give to you….go ahead and make one up…I like to use pieces of cardstock that “are not my favorites” to make up a sample and also I write notes on it as I go (with tips that work for me) and then I file it with the instructions!
In doing this – it gives me the “real feel” for the project and it also allows me to go through the process and see if it is something that I will want to do in quantities!!! (I hope that this makes sense)
The KEY PRODUCT in making this sweet basket is the Window Box Framelits….these have been around for a while and I encourage you to look through your stash as you might already have it and if not, they are a very detailed and special die collection that can make up some beauties!
Here is a HELP/TIP for you….just CLICK HERE and you can see a simple google search that I did with this product and WOW – just look at what you can find – I told you…there are sooooo many amazing crafters out there! I highly recommend that you google search and also You Tube search for ideas using a specific product….this is how I learn!
You can see that it is entirely up to you as to what can go inside…my pick – dark chocolate….I am totally a dark chocolate gal! The other thing that is great about a little project like this is you will not break your piggy bank in purchasing candies as it does not take a bunch…..less is best for our waistlines….RIGHT????

I do hope that this super sweet project made you smile and I do hope that you will give it a try! There is no doubt in my mind that anyone would beam if they received this. I realize that many of you are not fans of making 3D’s but all I can say is….I too was in the same camp but I learned that the more I tried and tinkered with sweet projects like this….I was hooked!
I have a great upcoming post for you….it is a BUNCH of BIRTHDAY cards made by stampers on my team! I think we all can always love and appreciate ideas of Birthday Cards….and I know you will be inspired!
Have a great day….make someone smile and I hope that you can get inky!!!
This is a super cute Easter basket. Love the bunny with the bowtie. Thanks for the PDF. Enjoy your day!
Love this little package! Perfect for spring! I too and sorry he “hopped” off the shelf!?
Can’t wait to see what you do with this. I know we all have some bunny who needs some love to pop on one of these nifty baskets as well as some bunny who would love one of these baskets. Sarah’s was definitely really cute but I bet we can improvise! Now, do I really need the window box dies? Maybe my neighbor has them and we can work on them together. Gotta hop along now. Looking forward to the birthday cards. We always seem to need them and I love to see all the ideas!
This is so cute ! If someone needs a BUNNY …the bunny in the stamp set Fable Friends is very cute ,but he will need to be fussy cut (no big deal ) and there is an adorable little one in A Good Day stamp set . I debated on the Bunny Punch ,but passed and I kinda wish I had it ,but how often do you need a BUNNY ???
I agree you can find lots of ideas on Pinterest and You Tube ,but this one is a winner for sure !! I do have the Window Box dies and that basket from a few years ago so I may have to see what I can create sorta like Sarah`s cute one !
Like Chris , I am looking forward to the BD cards !!
Cute basket and clever use of this die set. I agree with Sonny, Fable Friends is a cute stamp set to use for this as well. Thanks for the pdf…enjoy the day.
Just the other day (Mon? Tue?) I ordered the bunny stamp set. The punch is gone but I can fussy cut. I too put off buying this bundle. Anywho, the project is way cool. Every holiday I think I’m going to make treats for my coworkers and every holiday I don’t. LOL! Maybe I’ll shock myself one day and actually DO IT!
