Good morning sweet friends! So sorry that I teased this was coming on Wednesday but a change in plans displaced it to the later part of the week. On the bright side, I think we have you covered if you need ideas for a quick and easy Elegant Basket or Easter Basket. I issued a challenge to the Creative Team to think out of the box and take a shot at converting any of the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette by Spellbinders dies into a basket – the results are truly spectacular! Please be sure to follow links to each creative team members post so you can get more pictures and details on their basket. For my basket today I’m using the Grand Cabinet Card.
I cut four panels from the Grand Cabinet Base, glued the tabs together and taped along each seam and closed the basket. As you might imagine, the bottom was open, so I created a box slightly less than 4.5″ on each side and inserted it to make for the bottom. Then I cut a 3/4″ strip for the handle.
I put ribbon around the perimeter of the basket then folded the edges down.

3D Vignette Grand Card Basket Ideas
Baskets are so easy!! Pick out something attractive for a side, make four sides, figure out a way to glue them together and you are almost home free. Take a stroll through our inspiration – you may even find something to make for a wee one for the upcoming holiday.

These work up quite quickly so I’ve made some mini Easter Baskets. I hope we’ve inspired you today – happy creating!
Hi, Becca,
Your team rose to the challenge beautifully! Your basket and theirs are so sweet. Such a delight of the promise of spring, particularly, during a week that has been filled with gray skies.
My usual shopping sites have been sold out of the Grand Cabinet and 3D Vignette dies. I hope that means fantastic news for you! You and your team have done a wonderful job promoting these dies with your gorgeous and creative projects!
Love & blessings,
Sandy
Good morning Becca, simply gorgeous!!!

Hi Becca,
You dedicated “staff” have risen to the occasion! So very cute! I made my granddaughter an Easter card with the 3D die and made each of the cuts a different pastel color (pink, lt. blue, yellow, green, lavendar and white) and it just looked so Eastery and put a Happy Easter with bunnies on the back panel; then decorated with some lovely little yellow flowers. Very springy!! I am so glad that I ordered on Day 1 as I knew very well these would sell like “hot cakes!) Even for clutzy me, they are just so easy. I will have to try the basket thingy now!
Hugs

Just love your little baskets – it is surprising the diversity of spellbinders dies – of course it takes the very creative minds of a dream team to come up with them! Thank your for sharing your talents and abilities with us. I’ve been trying a few of my own and I’m just loving doing it! Hugs Dianne
The baskets are so cute. I hope to find some time to try these after my husband gets out of the hospital. Love the creative mental break for a short while when he rests.
Wow! Such gorgeous projects.I love them all!
