Two Tags Easter Basket

I shared over the weekend the beveled windowpane pendant I made for those at our last team meeting.  Today I'm going to share what they were packaged inside of - a cute little Easter basket using the Two Tags die and, of course, my favorite DSP right now, Springtime Vintage.  I got the tutorial for this cute project from Julie Davison's blog, here.  I wrapped the pendants inside some pink tissue paper and placed them inside the baskets, which were the actual swap item I'd made for our Easter-themed swap.


I'm currently working on this month's swap for Sunday's meeting.  The theme this time is Mother's Day.  Once again, I chose to do something other than a card.  I need to put the finishing touches on my swaps today so I can relax, knowing they're ready for Sunday's meeting.  Then perhaps I can make a dent on my craft room.  There's so much stuff in there right now, it's hard to even walk around in!  There must be a foot of supplies out on my desk, needing to be put away.  My problem is that I just have too much stuff - where am I going to put it all?  I share the room with my DH and he's got a lot in there, too.  I need to seriously use up some of what I have before I buy anything new, but SU! keeps coming out with catalogs with things inside them that scream 'Buy me!' and I cave and get more new stuff!

What an adorable basket! I love that you made it with the Two Tags Die! I guess I really need that die, huh?

Great basket. I love the paper handle.

You just need a bigger room or more storage--not less stuff!

What a sweet little basket! I have that die, so I'm going to try it.

Sara's right - bigger room! You know SU is going to keep making things we can't live without!

Adorable basket!! Would you mind if I used this for a future Stampin' Addicts Monday 3D Challenge? I would be sure to give you credit.

The basket is an adorable idea! Also, you just need to find the DH another room for his stuff.
