Easter

Welcome to our Blog Hop! We are eagerly awaiting spring and today we have some great ideas, inspiration, tips, resources and how-to for you this Spring as you move along through the blog hop.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Kristy Stewart at Under My Gabled Roof on our Living with Style Blog Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you make sure to see and learn from all of the articles featured here today.

When I think of Spring, I think of baskets for Easter and May Day.  Here are a couple of my favorite baskets both made with the Stampin’ Up! Berry Basket die.  The first basket is the original size of the Berry Basket.

The Double Berry Basket has twice the room for more goodies.

If you don’t have time to make baskets, here’s the easiest treat ever!

In the Occasions catalog, Stampin’ Up! shows the cellophane bags filled with orange M&M’s. See below.

As you can see above, the Kisses don’t fit all the way down to the point, so I taped the extra to the back of the carrot.  I bet you’re wondering where I found orange Kisses?  Walmart has carrot cake flavored orange Kisses right now.  They are yummy!  They taste a lot like Hershey’s Hugs.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like the directions for the Double Berry Basket.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

I love the Stampin’ Up! Berry Basket Die in the 2015 Occasions Catalog.  Here’s my first Easter Basket.  I made half the basket in Bermuda Bay cardstock and the other half using the Backgrounds DSP Brights Collection.  The sides of the basket are the same polka dots as the handle.  I didn’t use all DSP for the basket because the card stock is a heavier weight and I found using half cardstock and half DSP makes the basket both cute and sturdy.  I also have found so many uses for the Butterflies Thinlits Dies.  It’s no wonder Stampin’ Up! has sold out of these.  They are supposed to get more in stock soon.  The “happy easter” is stamped on a garden pick using the Handpicked Framelits Dies.  Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

April 6-10 Stampin’ Up! is offering free shipping on everything!  You can order on the link at the top of my blog.
