Heartfelt Creations Wednesday - Candy Basket

Hello Friends!
Welcome back to another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday! Today I would like to share with you this candy basket I created using the beautiful Timeless Amour Collection and Vintage Floret stamps and coordinating dies. The basket is really simple to make with the Hexagon Petal Envelope Die by Spellbinders. I designed this envelope die for them last year, you can make an envelope and a basket with the same die.

Supplies Used:

HCPC 3509 Timeless Sentiments PreCut Set

HCPC 3500 Open Vintage Floret PreCut Set

HCPC 3502 Mini Vintage Floret PreCut Set

HCD 728 Timeless Amour Die

HCD 727 Vintage Floret Die

HCD 717 Layered Scalloped Posy

HCDP1 228 Timeless Amour Collection

Grand Calibur

Other Supplies:

Hexagon Petal Envelope Die by Spellbinders, Rich Cocoa Memento Ink by Tsukineko, Vintage Photo and Victorian Velvet Distress Inks by Rangers, Bronze Pearls by Queen & Co, Glossy Accents, Hershey’s Nuggets.

Instructions:

Die cut and emboss basket base with Timeless Amour Collection using Hexagon Petal Envelope Die by Spellbinders and run through the Grand Calibur machine. 

  

    

Trace side petals using the die onto Designer Paper and cut with scissors. I traced and cut 12 petals to cover the inside and outside of the basket. Adhere Designer Paper petals to Hexagon Petal Envelope and fold petals at crease.

     

Stamp and die cut multiple flowers and leaves with Designer Paper using the Vintage Floret Collection of rubber stamps and dies. You need enough flowers to make 6 clusters for each side of the basket and more clusters for the handle. Shape the petals and leaves, add distress ink to edges, then layer the petals with glue to form the flowers and embellish with pearls. Attach flower clusters to each corner with glue or strong tape securing the sides together to form the basket as picture shows.

For the handle, cut a strip 10” x 1” with Designer Paper, ink edges with distress ink. Arrange flowers and leaves on the handle and attach to basket with strong tape or glue.

For sentiment, die cut 2 small hearts from Timeless Amour die set and glue together with a piece of ribbon in the middle. Stamp sentiment with brown ink, cut out words and glue on heart. Attach heart to handle as shown. Add a small flower on the heart.

For the candy, wrap each candy with strips of Designer Paper measuring 1” x 3” and secure with tape.

Easter Blessings Candy Basket

Hello Friends!

Today, I would like to share with you this cute candy basket that I think is perfect for Easter!

This basket is made with the "Hexagon Petal Envelope" die template by Spellbinders. I designed this die template for Spellbinders to make an envelope, but it works great for making baskets too!!

The "Easter Blessings" rubber stamp is from JustRite, this set is called "Spring Words". I love JustRite rubber stamps and die templates, they are just beautiful!

The patterned paper is from Graphic 45, this collection is called "Once Upon a Springtime", it is one of my favorite paper collections they have.

See the pictures below to see the basic steps, but to see a complete tutorial on how to make this basket, go to this "Link".

To wrap the chocolate Nuggets by Hershey's, cut 1 x 3 inches paper strips, secure with tape. I also die-cut several of the little flowers in the Hexagon Petal Envelope set. The flowers fit perfect on top of the Nuggets, I used glue dots to secure in place.

You can also make this matching envelope with the same die template "Hexagon Petal Envelope" by Spellbinders. The flower is made with the "Anemone Flower Topper" die template by Spellbinders. See pictures below.

To make the flower, die-cut and emboss the 3 flowers in the set using the "The Grand Calibur" machine. Curl the petals and layer the flowers with foam dots for more dimension. For the center of the flower I used self-stick pearls.

 I also distressed the borders of the envelope and the flower with Distress Ink by Tim Holtz. Here is the finished project.

Christmas Hexagon Petal Box with Gift Tags

Hello Friends!
Here is another box to keep your Christmas tags organized. I made this project for JustRite Friday Challenge # 063 Christmas.

This box is made with "Hexagon Petal Envelope" and "2010 Heirloom Ornament" die templates from Spellbinders. The cling rubber stamps are from JustRite, I used two sets, "Deck the Halls" and "Merry and Bright".
To learn how to make the Hexagon Petal Box, click on this link "Hexagon Petal Envelope and Basket Ensemble" for a complete tutorial.

For the box, I rubber stamped and die cut 12 of the large ornament and 6 of the small ornament. Notice that I also glued the ornaments to the inside of the box. I used gold embossing powder to stamp the ornaments and I colored them with Copic markers.

The gift tags were made the same way as the ornaments on the box. I used a 1 and a half inch circle punch to cut the pictures. I prefer pictures rather than writing the names on the gift tags. This is great for kids that can not read their names yet, they see their picture and they know the present is theirs!

Hexagon Petal Envelope and Basket Ensemble

Hello friends!
Today, I have a new tutorial to share with you using the new "Hexagon Petal Envelope"  die template from Spellbinders. You can make an envelope to use as a birthday card or invitation to a shower and make the matching party favor basket to go with it.

 This is the die template you will need to make the 4 projects, "Hexagon Petal Envelope"

Here is a close up picture of the envelope, which I will be showing you how to make first.

To make the envelope and flower, I used two-sided pattern card stock by Graphic 45, Once Upon a Springtime Collection. Die cut the pieces with the Grand Calibur by Spellbinders. Notice that the dies are cut side down on the paper with the cutting plate under.

To emboss, place the dies cut side up, with paper still in them, on the Base Plate, followed by the Embossing Mat and Embossing Plate, as the picture below shows.

Add some distress ink to the edges of the envelope and flower petals with Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Vintage Photo. Curl the flowers to give them dimension.

For the envelope, fold each petal down to the center in a clockwise motion, and tuck the last petal under. For the flower, layer the flower petals using foam dots between layers. Attach the flower to the center with a foam dot.

For the white envelope, follow the same instructions. I added the tiny flowers to each petal on the envelope. I used metallic card stock in pearl color.

For the white basket, follow the instructions above for the envelope. This will become the basket after attaching the flowers to each corner. You also need to die cut 2 of the large flowers, 26 of the medium size flowers and 13 of the tiny flowers. The process of die cutting them is fast because this set of dies comes with 4 dies of each of the smaller flowers. Embossing the flowers is optional, but you must emboss the envelope to get the folding marks.

  

Then, layer the flowers as shown below. You also need a strip of card stock measuring 11 inches by 1/2 inch for the handle. I used two different colors of metallic card stock for the flowers, pearl and gold.

Curl and layer the flower petals for the large center flower on the handle strip as pictured below.

Layer the flowers and attach them to handle strip with glue dots, leaving about 2 inches on each end, as picture below shows.

For the basket, fold 6 flowers in half and attach them to each corner using a strong tape or heavy duty glue to hold the basket secure.

Attach the top layer of flower to 6 sides with glue dots.

 Glue or tape handle to basket. Attach self stick pearls to the center of each flower. Here is the final product.

For the patterned card stock basket, you need to cut 3 strips of pattern card stock measuring 12 inches by 1/2 inch, and 3 strips of solid color card stock measuring 12 inches by 5/8 inches for the handle background. I also lined the inside of the basket by die cutting another envelope, cutting the petals from the base and attaching them to the inside.
