How Stinkin' Cute is this little guy! When I saw this adorable little Pumpkin' Basket, originally created by Lynn Put, I knew I needed to make one (or more!). And he's so simple and quick to put together, you will be amazed. Lynn has a great tutorial on her blog so I'm not going to go into the details here. You do need the Big Shot and the Pillow Box Die (you use 3 of the Die Cuts) and the bottom circle is a whopping 4" in diameter -- enough to hold an entire bag of Tootsie Pop's! I did add the leaf's to Lynn's original design, and used the Autumn Splendor stamp set to stamp them, attaching them with Stampin' dimensionals. I think I'll name him Jack. And Jack is all ready to help greet our little Trick and Treater's, come October! Of course, I'll probably have to refill him with candy before then. I can't image these lasting long with my daughter in the house!
Have a great day, everyone, and I hope you find some time to create!
Blessings, Gretchen
Just a reminder that I'm offering a little Blog Candy on THIS previous post. All you need to do is make one of my Sky/Cloud Templates and create a project using it, then link your creation back to my post, using Mr. Linky. Next Monday, I'll choose the winner and will send the lucky person a set of Stamping Sponges and a Ballet Blue Stampin' Pad! I can't wait to see your creations.
