I love Easter. As a matter of fact, I love any holiday that gives me a reason to make little treat baskets for the kids. So when I first saw Lettering Delights' Spring is Bliss SVG set, I totally squealed. See the last three files in the set? Those are baskets. Today I will show you the baskets that I made from using two of those files.

Using Make-the-Cut, I cut out the SVGs on Echo Park's Springtime Papers. The baskets were easily cut and assembled. 

I wanted to add a little trim to the yellow basket so I used Lettering Delights' Scalloped Borders SVG and cut out a border with Make-the-Cut.

For added charm, I cut out the little flowers from the Peep SVG set and adhered the layers with foam tape before putting a flower into the basket.

 This project is super easy to put together. You can also easily mix and match the papers for a different look or even use a ribbon to dress up the baskets.

I hope you've enjoyed this project. Now on to the blog candy!
