Gift basket with template

Some time ago, I got a challenge from Hobbykunst. "Use as many Rayher dies as possible in one project". Since it is Christmas soon, I combined the challenge with a gift basket for Christmas. THis is super for "the small gift", gift cards or a bit of chocolate.

The papers are not traditional Christmas papers. The papers are form the paper pad Shell Rummel - Bloom Beautiful. A paper pad is super sweet, with papers in blue, green, white and silver. It has patterns with flowers and feathers. 

I found a lot of the Rayherdies I had, that was Christmas inspired, and created a bunch of die cuts. 

The basket was created by adding two sidepieces together (from the template below). Then I added a strip of paper as handle. I used a stencil from Tim Holtz with gesso on the paper at the front, to create some effect on the background paper. 

I  used diecuts of the wonderful snowman, pine branch, Poinsettia, circle og birdhouse with twigs.

The diecuts has been glued onto 3D tape, to add a 3D effect.
