Hello! Hope you are having a great weekend! I don't know about you but I am behind a bit on my Christmas cards and gifts. Well, I have good news. The Rubber Cafe' Design Team is going to help us with some really wonderful gift and card ideas today on the blog. I also got crafty and made some quick and cute little baskets with The Rubber Cafe' stamps and adhesives. Here is what I made!
For these cute little baskets, I used the Grand Treat Basket by Theresa Momber that was posted on Splitcoaststampers during the Holiday Blitz Tutorials. I made a change to the basket. Instead of using the Spellbinders™ LF-124 Grand Scalloped Circles, I used the Spellbinders™ LF-015 Grand Decorative Circles One. That does require a little bit of a change to the directions. Here are the changes.....
The Grand Decorative Circles One is just a tiny bit bigger than the Grand Scalloped Circles. See what I mean?
So you will have to line up the circle so that the 4" mark goes between 2 of the scallops all the way down and score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/4" just like in the original directions.
Now when you give this a 90 degree turn the scallops will not line up. So what you need to do is make sure the scored lines are going straight horizontally and make sure a scallop is right in the middle of the 4" line. Here is a picture and I used a black marker to show you how the scored lines should look.
Now go ahead and proceed with the basket just like in the original directions. I stamped on my red circle with the Christmas Tidings set before putting everything together with The Rubber Cafe' - The One & Only Tape. For the other basket, I cut some patterned paper and adhered it into place. Here are a few close ups on how the embellishments look.
Let me know if you give these a try! I would love to see what you make. Now be sure to check out The Rubber Cafe' blog for even more great ideas!! Have a wonderful day!
