While we are on the subject of the new Favor It Box 9 Die Collection, I have a video I put together to show you how incredibly easy it is to assemble!  You won't believe how adorable the assembled baskets are!  You will want to make them for every occasion!

 

In brief, you use one of the long tabbed side strips with the small bottom for the smallest basket.  Or you can cut two tabbed strips and attach them end to end to be used with the large bottom.  And another bonus?  These dies were specifically designed to conserve cardstock.  You can cut all the pieces necessary for one small basket from half a sheet of cardstock!  And the large basket only needs a single sheet!  Here are some close-up shots of the projects I showcased in the video…

(A)Thanks So Much Basket & Tag
As you can see here, the finished product with these new dies is just so polished & professional. The little "shaker-style" tabbed detail is definitely one of my favorite features!  I die-cut the pieces for this basket from Classic Kraft cardstock.

Brad detail
I used larger 1/4" brads to hold my tabs together.  You could also use buttons, mini brads, stitches and more to hold these beauties together.

Tag
The tag is die-cut with Fillable Frames #9 from white cardstock.  I used one of the pre-arranged floral bouquets from Mini Blooms, doing selective inking with the points of our ink pads using Lavender Moon, Winter Wisteria and Simply Chartreuse.  The sentiment, also from Mini Blooms, was added using True Black ink.

Down
As you can see, the basket is a fairly good size, measuring 1-7/8" tall, 4-1/2" wide and 3" deep without the handle.  It could definitely hold a substantial amount of goodies and/or treats!

Happy Easter Tag & Basket
For the small basket, I die-cut the pieces from Aqua Mist cardstock and assembled it with mini brads to help keep with the scale of the project.

Side
You can see here just how cute the smaller version is!  The handle become tall and narrow when used for this scale of bottom, just like a real Easter basket. 

Bassket & tag
I die-cut the tag using Fillable Frames #9 from Spring Rain cardstock.  It is stamped with Mini Blooms using Fresh Snow ink.  I die-cut the bunny from white cardstock and stamped it with the coordinating image from Polka Dot Parade #1 using Winter Wisteria ink.  A strip of Aqua Mist cardstock was added to the bottom of the tag to add the sentiment stamped in Spring Rain.

Tag closeup
Note that the bunny's adorable little tail is easy to die-cut and add with a bit of foam tape!  The tag was tied onto the basket with Winter Wisteria Bitty Dot Ribbon.

Thinking of You Card
Next, how about a few cards using Mini Blooms?  For this project I also wanted to add in Background Basics: Wrought Iron and the new Fanciful Finials.  I started by stamping the "fence" in Charcoal Palette ink.  It was really quite easy to line up the finials and stamp them onto the top of the background strip since the finials are on a single stamp in sets of three.

Flowers
I added various Mini Blooms elements along the fence using Berry Sorbet, Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay and Spring Moss inks.  A few of the flowers I decided I wanted to "pop-up", so I die-cut the appropriate shapes, stamped them and added them over the original image using bits of foam tape.

Sentiment
The sentiment, also from Mini Blooms,  was added using True Black ink.  The tiny butterfly from Butterfly Dreams was stamped in Aqua Mist on a scrap of cardstock and cut-otu, being adhered in a hovering position over the sentiment.

Down
A narrow strip of Aqua Mist cardstock at the base of the card is stamped with Sew Simple Borders using Ocean Tides ink helps to ground the project.

So Happy For You Card
I have one last project for you today, this one a bit more bright & bold.  I started with one of the large pre-assembled floral arrangements from Mini Blooms here.  I stamped it in Pinefeather onto the Simply Chartreuse card front.

Flowers
I then selected a few blooms that I wished to add dimension to and die cut the appropriate shapes from white cardstock.  I stamped those using Royal Velvet, Raspberry Fizz and Winter Wisteria inks.  I also added a few accents using Fresh Snow ink.

Sentiment
The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark and then heat embossed with White Filigree Embossing Powder.  I just LOVE the fonts that Maile selected for this set!  I felt that there needed to be a border of some sort, so I pulled out Sew simple Borders and added those in Fresh Snow ink as well.

  417. This was much harder than I expected. I had to whip out my glasses and counted three times finding 15 bunnies. I see lots of 16s on the other comments but I’m sticking with my answer though wondering where that last bunny could be hiding if there are indeed 16!
