 Playing With The Cheerful Basket Bundle!

(Cheerful Basket Stamp Set and Full Basket Dies)

Hello!  Today I am sharing a few cards I worked on this week using the Cheerful Basket Bundle (item 158680), which is featured in the May 2022-April 2023 Annual Catalogue, and which includes the Cheerful Basket stamp set (item 158674) and the Full Basket dies (item 158679).  Of course the stamp set and the dies can be purchased separately but, when purchased together using the Bundle item number, there is the 10% Bundle Savings - which is always a good thing!
Just a quick recap of the three Stampin' Up! September Promotions:

Inspired By You Art Supplies In A Basket Card

For the torn spiral notebook edge I used the spiral notebook edge die from the Blossoming Happiness dies (item 158823) and then tore pieces from the die cut edge of the watercolour panel.  I sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink (item 147115) and lightly spritzed the entire panel with water (Stampin' Spritzers - item 126185) - blotting with a paper towel.
