Hello! Today the Mama Elephant Design Team is showcasing the brand new Lil Painters Stamp Set and coordinating dies. I used some of my favorite chick images from the adorable stamps et to create decorative "picks" that can be tucked into this adorable die cut Cute Basket. For a card showcasing almost every image from the Lil Painters Stamp Set, click HERE. These die cut Cute Baskets are perfect for adding little treats or gifts for Easter!
To create the basket, I die cut the elements from Lawn Fawn Mermaid Cardstock and smooth white cardstock using the Cute Basket die. To secure the handles to the basket, all is needed is a couple of brads! I dug into my stash and found two cute white button brads.
I stamped several images from the Lil Painters Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink and colored in the images with Copic Markers. The images were die cut with the coordinating dies. I die cut the shapes again to "back" each of the picks. I sandwiched a toothpick between the shapes and secured with hot glue.
I tucked grass inside the basket, added some eggs and then stuck the Easter picks into the grass.
To finish the basket, I die cut a tag from smooth white cardstock using a Mini Tags Die and stamped a greeting on the tag with a Mini Messages Stamp.

I love this basket Nichol, it is so sweet. I think you could use this throughout the year for various treats (on a table/coffee table) if you change up the paper/colour and embellishments to suit the season. A fantastic job!
