Sweet Treats- Whimsy Stamps


It's March 1st, that means it's new release day for Whimsy Stamps!  I'm using the new Build a Basket Die Set and I thought I would use it on a basket.  I die cut a bunch of different pieces from decorative paper and glitter papers. 

The little die cut basket is layered on circles using the Stitched Circles Die Set

The tag was made using the Tombstone Die Set.

Here is how to make the the Origami basket from one piece of 12 x 12 paper
The Origami Box requires no adhesive: You will need a sheet of 12 x 12”  paper. Place paper with decorative side down (side of paper that will be on outside of box). Fold the paper in the following order:
1. Fold in half horizontally, turn 90 degrees and fold again.
2. Open and fold corner inwards to center of paper.
3. With corners folded in, fold left and right sides into center and open out. Turn paper 90 degrees and repeat folding left and right sides into center.
4. Open folds, leaving two diagonal corners folded in. Lift two sides of box up. While holding two sides up, fold corner folds inwards, creating the third side. Fold flap into box with corner lining up in the center of bottom of box. Fold in last edge to create fourth side of box. Optional: adhere a decorative strip along top edge of box.
The handle-
Cut two pieces of corrugated paper 3” x 12” with corrugated lines running horizontally. Score and fold 2¼” from bottom edges on both pieces. Cut two pieces of patterned paper 2½“ x 12“.  Adhere centered onto corrugated strip. Punch a handle using a 2” circle punch at top of strips, about ½“ from top edges. Adhere top edges together. Punch a smaller circle or a bracket shape from a contrasting paper. Fold in half horizontally (like a tab) and adhere over top edge of handle edge. Place and adhere origami box onto one bottom flap. Fold and adhere second flap onto other side of box. Tie ribbon around caddy and through handle. Tie a bow and attach decorative tags and ticket. Add sticker letters or a monogram onto one tag. Add a Flair on top of ribbon about ½“ from bottom edge.

I got the directions from the Fancy Pants Designs page.
