Easter Berry Baskets

Easter has come and gone and I hope that you had a great weekend celebrating with family and friends. This weekend, at least for me, really starts spring.

I created Easter Berry Baskets for my Grandchildren to hold their goodies, however, the Berry Baskets can be used to package many other gifts.

To Create the Easter Berry Baskets:

Cut 2 from card stock and 2 from designer series paper. The DSP was glued to the card stock to create a liner and also to make the basket a little sturdier. The liner also creates some contrast.
The tags are layered – punch a 1-3/4″ tag from Whisper White and the card stock measures 2″ wide. Remember to cut the card stock about a 1/4″ longer than the DSP.
The Irresistibly Yours DSP was sponged using Crisp Cantaloupe, Lost Lagoon and Daffodil Delights ink pads.

The Berry Basket is useful for other packaging:

a birthday basket to hold a small gift
a Mother’s Day or Happy Spring gift with a small plant – African Violets for example.
a Father’s Day gift with some fishing gear – flies, weights, spinner.

Again you are only limited by your imagination.

Try out the Berry Basket for other gifts now that Easter is behind us.
