Today I made a traditional Christmas basket to hang on the tree. You can put a little sweet in it if you want.
Now it was not easy for my old fingers to make it. But such baskets reminds me of my childhood's Christmases back home in Norway. So I try to make one or two of them each year.
I used:
Red and gold papers. On this photo the red looks a bit lighter than it really is.
Marianne Design die.
My name is Liv. I am a Norwegian woman, living in Switzerland since 2005 together with my Swiss husband.
Until 2014 we were the pastor couple of our evangelical Church.
I love my husband and my wonderful Savior Jesus Christ.
My hobbies are card making, knitting, drawing and singing.
And I love cats.
As I was a little girl home in Norway, and also as I was a teacher there, we every Advent used to make the traditional Christmas baskets for the tree. Here on this card they are in a simpler form. The basket die is from Marianne Design. Circle die: Spellbinders. Corner punch: EK Success. Text written on computer.
The traditional way is to cut the paper with the scissors. For small fingers it was always difficult to get the parts together.
Patterned paper: Craft Sensations. Red and yellow and creme papers. Gold glitter.
