Fun creating this Berry Basket!

I had fun creating this adorable berry Basket to share with you but first,I want  to apologize not posting my technique video yesterday. I downloaded it to You Tube only to discover it was really dark. I tried to lighten it by editing it but had no luck. I would have taped it again, however, I am at Leadership training without my stamping stuff and video camera. I promise I will share 2 videos and projects with you next week.

On a brighter note~ I was able to enjoy some sunshine today as I sat next to the pool planning my upcoming classes and events. I can’t wait for some fun & different events with you~soon!! If you haven’t already guessed, I’m not in Illinois right now. I will be sharing some fun in the sun with you on my facebook page so be sure to head over there to see what I am doing with my friends from across the country. Tomorrow night we will be heading to Manager’s Reception, one of my favorite perks as a demonstrator!

Boy, I think I got a little off task! Back to my Berry Basket. All I can say about this brand new BigZ Big Shot Die is ,”I’m in love!” I can picture making these for so many different occasions;baby or wedding showers, Easter baskets,birthday goody baskets and oh so much more. This was quick & easy to create and can take on so many different adorable looks.

Those goodies pictured with the berry basket are a few of the FREE Sale-A-Bration products you can choose with a qualifying order. I just love this bright, happy color combination of Cameo Coral, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry.

Stampin Up! Berry Basket Did you notice the detail of the trim around the basket? The smaller scallop is included with this BigZ die but I added the larger white scallop by using our large scallop edgelit. While this one has a more feminine look to it, I can imagine creating a more masculine look by using nautical colors and Designer Series Papers that take on that more masculine look. I used the Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper for the bow created with our NEW Bow Punch and the lining of the basket. Take a look. . .

Stampin Up! Berry Basket BigZ Die insideI also missed sharing this week’s Weekly Deals yesterday so here they are.

These deals are a crafting fools dream!! You will get to choose a FREE Saleabration item when you purchase all of these great embossing folders and Texture Boutique Machine ( a must-have).

Why not head over there and check it out?

Enjoy!

I know you are thinking,” wow, I can get a lot of different looks from one stamp by using the Brush Marker Technique .” And you’re right. Just by changing which parts of the stamp you choose to color can change the way an image looks.
