- scrap of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper
- scraps of all 3 colors of 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack
Pick out the grass framelit from the Basket Builder Framelits. Place the Mint Macaron strip on the Precision Base Plate on top of your Big Shot Platform on your Big Shot. Place the grass framelit on top on one end. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Use the Die Brush to remove the card stock from the framelit. Repeat on the other end of the Mint Macaron strip so you have two grass pieces cut out.
Use SNAIL along the bottom of the grass pieces to adhere the grass pieces to the bottom of the Pool Party rectangle. Trim off excess on the sides using Paper Snips.
Open the Banner Triple Punch and slide one end of the 1" x 4" Whisper White strip into the punch as far as it will go. Punch.
Mount sentiment of choice from the Basket Bunch Photopolymer Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched white strip so it is close to the notch on the left side.
Cut an 8" piece of the Mint Macaron 3/8" Sheer Linen Ribbon. Tie it around the right edge of the stamped and punched white strip using a simple knot. Trim the ends.
Adhere the sentiment strip to the Pool Party rectangle about 1/2" from the top on the right side. Trim off excess with the Paper Snips as needed.
Adhere the Pool Party rectangle to the Bermuda Bay rectangle and then to the front of the Sweet Sugarplum card.
Pick out the solid basket bottom framelit and the curved handle framelit from the Basket Builder Framelits. Place the Crumb Cake rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of your Big Shot Platform on your Big Shot. Place the two framelits on top. Place the other Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Carefully place the basket bottom cut out inside the Festive Textured Impressions Embossing Folder so the lines run horizontally across the cut out. Place the folder with the card stock inside on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Ink up a Sponge Dauber by rubbing it across the open Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Then, rub the inked up Sponge Dauber across the embossed bottom basket cut out to make the pattern stand out. Also rub a little Crumb Cake Ink on the handle piece.
Using SNAIL, adhere the bottom of the basket to the left side of the card so the bottom of the basket is even with the bottom of the grass.
Use a little bit of the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the handle to the top of the basket so the ends of the handle are hidden behind the basket bottom.
Pick out the solid egg framelit from the Basket Builder Framelits. Place a scrap of Whisper White card stock on the Cutting Pad on top of your Big Shot Platform on your Big Shot. Place the solid egg framelit on top. Place the other Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Repeat two more times so you have three solid white egg shapes.
Pick out the three detailed egg shape framelits from the Basket Builder Framelits. Place the three scraps of Glimmer Paper on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Big Shot Platform. Place the detailed egg shape framelits on top of the scraps. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the tiny pieces and remove the glimmer paper from the dies.
Place a detailed egg cut out upside down on one side of a Silicone Craft Sheet. Cut a Stamping Sponge into quarters and clamp the triangle edge of one quarter in a large binder clip. Squeeze a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on one corner of the Silicone Craft Sheet. Dab the sponge into the glue and then lightly onto the back of the detailed egg cut out. Flip the detailed egg cut out over and adhere it to one of the solid white egg cut outs. Repeat the process with the other two detailed egg cut outs.
Use SNAIL to adhere the glittery eggs to the inside of the basket so they are tucked under the top edge of the basket bottom and overlap each other as well.
Mount the bunny peep image from the Basket Bunch Set on Block A. Ink it up with the StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it onto the scrap of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper using firm pressure.
Pick out the bunny peep framelit from the Basket Builder Framelits. Place the stamped Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper piece on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the bunny peep framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use the sponge and Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the bunny peep cut out to the top left of the pile of eggs in the basket.
Mount the Easter bunny image from the Basket Bunch Set on Block B. Ink it up with the StazOn Ink Pad and stamp it on the remaining rectangle of Whisper White card stock.
Pick out the Easter bunny framelit from the Basket Builder Framelits. Place the stamped white card stock on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the Easter bunny framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Squeeze the lid of the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad then open the pad up so the lid can still be seen. You should have a puddle of ink inside the lid. Use a Blender Pen to pick up some of the ink and color in the Easter bunny's ears and bow tie. Remember to stroke across the card stock in one direction only so the card stock doesn't pill and tear. Pick up more ink with the Blender Pen as needed.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the Easter bunny cut out to the card front over the right side of the basket bottom.
