PPA 10

This weeks challenge is a Theme Challenge: Gratitude and Thanks.


I found this tutorial and thought they would make cute place card for Thanksgiving. The possibilities are endless - Halloween treat baskets, little Easter baskets....... I did alter the measurements slightly to make a larger basket.

If you are in any of my monthly clubs, this is one of your projects this month. Here is the recipe - Kraft cardstock stamped with Woodgrain background stamp in Soft Suede and cut into strips - 6 ea 3/4" x 6 1/2", 1 ea 7 1/2" X 3/4" for the handle & 1 ea 9 1/4" X 1" for the trim and sponged all pieces with Creamy Caramel. I used Autumn Meadows DSP for the trim piece as well, 9 1/4" X 3/4". The handle also has a piece of Soft Suede Polka-Dot Grosgrain ribbon (it's hard to see in the picture). The tag is colored with Soft Suede and Dusty Durango Markers using the Holiday Best Level 1 hostess set and I punched it out using the Wide Oval Punch. The basket is finished off with a piece of 1/4" Tempting Turquoise grosgrain ribbon and a gold brad to attach the tag and handles.

Hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!!
