Longaberger Basket Christmas Card



This card was made using the following stamps -  Longaberger basket stamp # 944, gingerbread boy # 195, Sentiment stamp # 581, and peeking bear stamp # 1073. 
I stamped the basket stamp and handle.  The basket is made by stamping the design, cutting it out and then folding it and gluing it according to the directions that come with the stamp.  It makes a small basket that you can insert items into.  I attached the handle using brads.  I attached the plaid paper to the card base using a glue runner.  I then cut a piece of red paper and attached it to the plaid paper using a glue runner.  I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of scrap green paper and attached it to  a piece of the plaid paper to make a tag to insert into the basket.  I then stamped the peeking bear and colored him using colored markers.  I then cut him out.  I cut a small strip of card stock and pop dotted the peeking bear onto it and made is the right length to place in the basket and have him peeking over the edge.  I glued it in place with glue dots.  I used a glue runner to attach the basket to the card.  I stamped the ginger bread boy with brown dye unto a scrap of the brown basket paper.  I cut him out and attached him to the card with a pop dot.  I then placed the sentiment tag into the basket.
