Floral Frames Easter Basket Tutorial

Every year I try to come up with a new Easter basket for my stamp clubs. This year my basket was inspired by the Floral Frames die. I just love how the basket looks like a flower. I think it has potential to be used for other occasions too, like bridal showers and birthday parties. If you would like to make your own Floral Frames Easter Basket, just follow my step-by-step tutorial below…
