Today I am sharing with you a quick stamping tip for creating a large watercolor stripe on your card. I used distress markers to color directly onto an acrylic block.
Next I spritz the block with water and stamped directly onto watercolor paper. For this card I didn't quite color with my distress markers far enough down on my acrylic block. To compensate, I simply used the block to drag the excess ink down the card front. To add more texture to the watercolor stripe next I colored with markers on the acrylic block and stamped into the watercolor stripe without spritzing the block with water. You can see how I added that texture layered in the video. I also used a Misti Tool to stamp my image to ensure I got a nice crisp black impression.
The ovals and sentiments in the CR-05055 Large Oval Sympathy Stamp are designed to mix and match. This is a 6"x 8" stamp set with 22 interchangeable images.

Darsie Bruno shows you in today's video how to create this gorgeous paper basket. You can find a full supply list for recreating this basket at the bottom of this post.
Directions on Cutting and Scoring Basket Base: To create the basket base, cut 2 white cardstock panels 7 x 8 inches. On the 7 inch side, score at 3 ¾ inches.
Next turn the paper and score at 3 ¾ inches and 7 ½ inches. Cut the large side tab out and then cut the scored line to the left of the cut tab up to the middle scored line. Fold all remaining scored lines. (check out the video to see how quick and easy it is to create this basket).
Here is a close up view of one side of the basket. The sentiment is from tomorrow's release set Choose Joy Clear Stamps.
To create the design on your basket stamp all 4 basket side panels as shown in the video, then put your basket together by gluing one bottom flap to the other bottom flap on one panel. Repeat this process for the second panel. Add glue to the small side tab and bottom on one folded panel and attach it to the side and bottom of the other panel. Glue the last tab into place to finish the base.
Here's another view of the basket. Isn't it gorgeous!
Plus as a bonus project at the end of Darsie's video she shows you how to create this beautiful stamped candle using tissue paper and wax. If you haven't created a stamp candle yet this would be a perfect Mother's Day Gift. It is so simple to make.
