I used double sided pearl cardstock in a pinky peach colour for the base of the basket and some dark red card strips for the woven pattern on the side of the basket. To decorate the basket I used papers from the Rose Garden paper pad by Crafter’s Companion. After cutting the paper panels I inked around them using some brown quick dry ink before sticking them to the basket. I attached the handles using some peach coloured brads. I’ve decorated the side of the boxes with flowers and leaves cut using the gorgeous Climbing Rose die set by Sharon Callis. The flower bases are rolled using a quilling tool and they look fabulous in whatever material you use and are so easy to make. The white fronds were cut using dies by Bright Rosa and a drop of Tonic Nuvo Dream Drops added to each frond. I cut the tag from the pinky peach pearl cardstock and added a black die cut sentiment, sorry, I can’t remember where I got it from. I also made an Easter Bunny using the Bunny die set by Elizabeth Craft Designs. I cut a thin strip of card and glued the bunny to it then tucked the strip into the opening at the back of the box. To finish it off I added the tag on a matching ribbon.
I bought a large box of chocolates, split the chocolates between two cellophane bags, stapled the bag tops closed and put one bag inside each side of the basket along with the label from the chocolate box and the insert that shows what the chocolates are. I took real willpower not to pinch a chocolate or two before sealing up the bags. I hope the recipients enjoy the baskets as well as the chocolates.
