I hope you don't mind my unscheduled blogging break. The craziness of March really took it out of me I think!
I topped it all off with a Launch Party for the new mini on the 1st of April. I had 40 lovely ladies welcome in the new mini with me...lots of fun!
I always like to make a little thank you gift for them, so this year I used that lovely Sale-a-Bration DSP (I'm missing it already, but thankfully "Twitterpated" has been helping to soothe my soul) to make these cute little Egg Baskets:
TIP: Using DSP, you can cut 8 at once!
Now fold inwards at the 2 scallop mark on one side. Repeat on the opposite side. Fold inwards at the 3 scallop mark on the other 2 sides. Use scissors to snip the 4 shortest score lines, and fold inwards to form the box shape. Snail adhesive does the trick to stick the sides together. If you are making these from cardstock, I would use a stronger adhesive and also pre-score before folding.
My handle is 19 x 2cm, and I used a Mini brad to hold it in place.
TIP: If you cut the handles first, you can get 4 of these baskets from one sheet of DSP.
These fit one of those "hunting" eggs, or a few small eggs perfectly.
Isn't the punch art bunny cute? I CaSEd the idea from the very clever Mary Fish HERE
