- a little of this, a little of that, but mostly stamping and Copics

Even though I’ve heard rumors that Coluzzle products worldwide will be unavailable soon, I wanted to make this basket for one of our March class projects. Hey, Coluzzle is made by ProvoCraft, so it should be around a few more weeks at least.

About 6 years I learned how to use an Oval coluzzle template to create a darling basket. Linda Persoon was the clever SU demo who shared that technique with  her class those many moons ago. This project so impressed me that I bought the whole system just to create that basket. I’ve used it for get well cards, sympathy cards, and thinking of you cards, but…um…had not used it yet for an Easter card…sigh. And my good friend suggested it could also be a purse (if the inner arcs were cut off at the top of the basket and not folded down–good one Diane).

The first 5 sassy stampers classes made this card

and then the March TAC Special “Fresh Spring Things Kit” sold out, and I had to find a different Easter set to use. Thank goodness for my friend Diane Loy. I was able to shop from her endless shelves to use the Nobunny Like You set (she also loaned me the I Love Easter set, but I wanted to have the little images peeping through the top of the basket, so I didn’t use it). I can’t believe I didn’t have any Easter stamp set (okay, I DO have Easter stamp sets but they aren’t current…lol). Here’s the card made in the 6th March class (and the closeup)

I used the 8×8 patterned paper Designer Collection Gentle Beginnings (which is now sold out) but any patterned paper would work (and doublesided patterned paper would be OUTSTANDING).
