Easter Blog Hop... InStyle



Welcome along the Easter InStyle Blog Hop today!
If you came from Lana's blog then you have made the right hop. If you have just popped in and want to start at the beginning, go to InStyle Stamps blog for all the prize information and guidelines. You can also find the Design Team blog hop list in case you get lost somewhere along the way.

Easter is just around the corner and some egg hunts have already begun. So let's get our baskets ready to fill with eggs shall we? Yep, you guessed it, my project is using Easter Basket image from InStyle Stamps. 


This easter basket is filled to the top with eggs and it was pretty easy to put together. They are not just precariously stacked in that basket though, I had a little help from some clear acetate and nestibilities. I printed out the box template, cut it out and scored it, then ran it through my Cuttlebug with my Sissix Dots Embossing Folder. I used a circle die from my Nestibilities set and positioned it on the top part of the front panel. I did this again on the front flap of the box. (Oh yes! This box has a front flap so you can add a personal note to the inside.)


The inside of the front panel window is covered with a square clear acetate diecut (which you could also cut by hand), and adhered with tacky tape as well as the side panel where all the ends meet. I colored the Easter Basket image with Prismacolor markers and then trimmed it out with scissors then popped it up with dimensionals onto the front flap. I finished off the basket with a small tag that has a printed sentiment using a Kevin and Amanda Scrapbook font and cut out with a Quickutz tags thin die.

That's it! Thanks for hopping on through to me! Your next stop is to our talented Kerry's blog.

Have fun! Remember that you can always get 5% off your entire purchase by using the link in my sidebar, but if you liked any of the images today you'll need to be patient until the exciting new remodeling is done at the store. You should be able to get them after the 1st of April.
