Basket of Bright Blossoms
by Jean Okimoto

Greet the season with an embossed Harvest Basket filled with evergreens and pink poinsettias. Glittered berries and a Merry Christmas White Foil Tab add sparkle and a touch of gold.

Cut the Harvest Basket base, handle and narrow textured band from a dark green 6×6 in the Greenery Solid Core Cardstock Pack. The detailed die will be used to pressure-emboss the basket instead of cutting the basketweave texture. Spritz both sides of the basket base with a light mist of water and pressure-emboss it using the rubber embossing mat and plate(s) required for your machine. Attach the narrow trim and handle.

Cut the Fresh Poinsettia Bundle blossoms from two shades of pink cardstock. Cut 4 sets of the centers from matte gold cardstock. Assemble the poinsettias.

Cut holly leaves and pine branches from the Evergreen Holly Bundle from a bright green 6×6 in the Greenery Solid Core Cardstock Pack. Cut the Fresh Poinsettia Bundle leaves too.

Cut the largest Nested Globe from white cardstock and attach it to a white A-6 card (4.5″x 6.25″). Attach the bottom half of the basket and the handle – except about 1″ on the bottom left side of the handle where the poinsettia will be tucked in. Add the background leaves and poinsettias. Add the small pine sprig in the center.

Cut the Evergreen Holly Bundle berries from pink glittered cardstock. Trim the right edge of the Merry Christmas White Foil Tab. Attach the tab to the basket, then attach the berries. Cut an A-6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting…see you again on Friday!
