Welcome to the JustRite CHA Release #1 Blog Hop!! Release #1 is now in stock at the JustRite Website. Today I am sharing with you an Easter Basket that I have designed for my MOM for Easter and for Sharon Johnson's Friday Stamp Simply Incredible Edible Egg Challenge to create a project with Easter Eggs. You can find all the details for the challenge here.
This whimsical little chick is the designer center from JustRite Stampers new Favorite Occasion set which is shipping to stores this week it is part of the JustRite CHA Release #2 and is now available for pre-order on the JustRite Website. The set consists of 10 images and designer centers for all your Favorite Occasions. For this part of my project I decided to diecut the stamped image with my oval Nestabilities to give the image an Egg Shape. I used 2 mini gingham envelopes from the Martha Stewart Collection and adhered them back to back against a bamboo skewer. I painted the skewer green to match my project. The pretty floral paper is from Making Memories.
I purchased this beautiful twig, moss and floral basket at the Christmas Tree shop. It is a full size basket. I placed my faux Chocolate bunny in the picture (which is the size of a real chocolate bunny) so you could see how large the basket really is.
The basket was pretty but I knew it would be a beautiful centerpiece for my Mom's Easter Celebration once I jazzed it up with some of my favorite papercrafting supplies. Hope you like it MOM!! First I purchased the great green gingham wide ribbon from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. It was the perfect color and matched my mini envelopes exactly!! Then I added two types of Martha Stewart Flowers to the foam flowers that were already on the rim of the basket when I purchased it. The first Martha Stewart flowers are pink with white centers like the flower on my mini envelope. The second flowers were white, pink and pale purple daisies with yellow centers. Once I added the flowers it instantly felt like Spring in my studio. I can't wait to see green grass!! For the center of my bow I designed an embellishment using both the Easter designer center and border together from the Favorite Occasion Set with my 1 5/8" wooden stamper. I stamped the image with memento black. Then I colored my chicks with my Copic Markers and die cut the stamped image this time using circle and scallop circle nestabilites.
This is what the side view of the basket originally looked like. I decided it needed a few bows added to the basket to finish off the basket.
Sharon carries both sizes of the green gingham ribbon that I used in her ribbon store. I also alternated colors of bows and added a pale blue narrow gingham bows to my basket as well.
Here is what the other images in the set look like...it is a really fun set. You can see my St. Patrick's Day project from this set by scrolling down my blog to March 17th.
