Easter Basket

I attended Leadership in San Antonio Texas in January and this mini basket is one of the items Stampin' Up demonstrated on Main Stage using the Simply Scored Diagonal Scoring Plate.  So cute and so simple to make for Easter Treats or any occasion.  Attend a class by visiting my Stampin' Up store and enrolling at www.kathyswanson.stampinup.net  Order products online and check out my other projects. 

Sale-a-bration continues until March 31st.  Don't miss your chance to earn FREE products with a $50 merchandise purchase.  Order the Simply Scored $29.95, Diagonal Plate $11.95 and a pack of our Designer paper $10.95 and you would qualify for a FREE item. 

For this basket you will need the following:

6X6 piece of Stampin' Up designer series paper
Simply Scored Scoring Pad with stylus and our NEW Diagonal Plate.
Cropodile
Everyday Enchantment Lucky Limeade ribbon(one of the FREE Sale-a-brations items).  All our colors coordinate so you will be able to use this ribbon all year!!

Score your paper at 2 inches and 4 inches.  Turn paper score at 2 inches and 4 inches.  Your paper will look like a Tic Tac Toe frame.  Now place your diagonal plate on top of your score pad.  Place the 6x6 paper into the top left corner and score from the corner into the center, going 2 inches.  The middle of you paper should be a 2x2 square.  Turn paper score on diagonal again, repeat 2 more times from each corner.  Fold the Diagonal scores in, fold the straight scores in and WA LA a cute little basket!!  Use the cropodile to punch holes in each point and thread your ribbon.  Fill with paper shreds and treats.
