Cute Cheerful Basket Card

Isn’t this card sweet with those shiny, green apples? I made it using the Cheerful Basket Stamp Set. In my instructions, I have a tip to get those apples to look like they are in the basket.

 
 

The basket can hold apples, hearts, craft supplies or a cute kitty.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Soft Suede Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Cardstock - cut using the largest rectangle from the Scalloped Contours Dies.

  • Sahara Sand Cardstock - cut using the 2nd largest rectangle from the Scalloped Contours Dies.

  • Stamp basket and apples with Black Memento Ink on the Sahara Sand rectangle.

    TIP: To make the apples look like they are in the basket, cover the top of the basket with Post-It Tape or a Post-It Note, stamp the apples. When you remove the tape or note, you’ll see that the apples look like they are inside the basket. See pictures below.

 
 
 
 
 
 
  • Stamp sentiment with Black Memento Ink.

  • Color basket and apples with Stampin’ Blends. I used Dark & Light Crumb Cake for the basket. The apples were colored with Dark Parakeet Party and the leaves with Dark Old Olive. Add some Wink Of Stella to the apples.

  • Adhere the stamped layer to the white layer and adhere to card base using a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet cut to size. You can use Dimensionals instead.

 
 

On the inside stamp that cute little kitty with Black Memento Ink. Color it with Dark & Light Stampin’ Blends. Add a touch of green to the eyes using the Dark Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blend.
