Good Thursday Morning!
It's Big Shot project day!
I sued the Scallop Envelope die
started with my Stampin Up Scallop envelope die
and a piece of Bermuda Bay!
sorry about the bhured photo - oops
so I folded my card stock
now our envelope is almost double in size
can you see what I am thinking?? he he :)
I cut this strip to 2 3/8'' x 7 5/8'' I scored at
2 3/8'' and 5 3/8''
I am working on putting that strip onto the bottom to the side to create my basket
I am now adehering this piece - I wanted to spruce it up and also to re enforce it
6 1/2'' x 2 3/8'' - then got my textured plate
I inked up my plate with curry and shimmer
then I put thru some curry card stock - twice - but just for the flap
see??
can yousee what I am trying to do?
I also cut at the dotted lines on my bermuda bay card stock
now we need a handle
I cut a strip of curry about 11/16'' x 11''
just so that I can add the ribbon on it and it would stay up above the little basket
doing the greeting with some punches
Stampin Up! has such wonderful punches!
I stamped my greeting using stamps from the Christmas punch stamp set
now for the oval scallop punch
I adehered it to the front and back and put a pearl on it from the Pretties kit
I added a little bow on the top with a nother pearl!
I have a few more photos!
side view and one more front view
well there we have it for my Big Shot Project!
hope you enjoyed it????

It is nice to see a variation of a die for something other than what it was intended. The basket turned out great.

That Big Shot is really a great tool, I just love the textured look you gave to the basket. The idea of putting card stock also to hold the ribbon up. What a great idea and you sure have some wonderful ideas. Just really enjoy your blog..
