I have received MANY emails asking for an easy basket template. Mainly from stampers who are basket collectors! Some even sell Longaberger baskets, and wanted to incorporate their love of the two.
Introducing Basket Basics ©: From My Timeless Templates ©
“There are MANY complex ways of creating woven baskets. I spent quite a while finding the fastest and easiest way to create a template for this one. With the template and some step by step instructions/ photos- you can create your own from cardstock!! From the beginning paper crafter to the more seasoned, I think everyone will love just how easy this one is!”
I think baskets are the top presentation of any gift. The problem can be they are expensive! When giving some gifts the basket may even cost more than the gift itself!! Now you can create a paper basket that suits your project perfectly!
I’m excited to bring this template to you today.
Over the next few days I’ll also share the versatility of gifts and items that can be used, as well as some variations of the template 😀
I made mini blueberry muffins, and placed them in the basket. I believe I fit about 10 in here
I printed my template onto Spring Rain cardstock:D
Before assembling I “distressed” it a bit with a sponge. I didn’t want the basket to crisp and new looking
This came together in minutes!
The idea for a template for this was conceived after Alexa had brought home a basket project we did from the hospital. It was in the summer, and was a “strawberry” basket. So, it was a bit different, in the fact that is had no base, just a weaving of strips to create a pocket. I figured if a bunch of 8 year olds could do it, so could we!
Now you may be asking yourself: “When did Papertrey Ink come out with a blueberry stamp?”
Well, they didn’t!
I made my own 😀
I used the solid circle from Shapes by Design-for the blueberry. Using the rock and roll technique for the 2 tome coloring.
I then used a leaf image from Mailbox Greetings!
Sentiment is from Year Round Puns
PLEASE NOTE: The template shared today will not be available for download until the 15th.

So that is all for my basket peek today!! I have had a blast with this one.
I hope you like it.

Till tomorrow-where I will share even MORE ideas!

Thanks Lauren
So cute! I love all your templates!
I think anything Easter would be nice in there. Can’t you just see some different colored Peeps poking their heads out of the top? Too cute!

Another great template!! Can’t wait to see more ideas we can do with it. All your templates are awesome.
I love this basket! What fun! I like your made up blueberries too. I do have one question. What type of printer do you use to print on cardstock. I got a new one last year and it won’t print on anything but really cheap, walmart cardstock. I would really like to buy some of these templates but you can see my problem. Thanks for your help.

Wow! How fantastic!
wow, lauren, just great and so beautiful.
Love it! You’re amazing!
Well isn’t that the cutest dang thing I have seen all day! This is going to be the first thing in my cart on Valentines Day! I love that PTI release is on V-day. Gets Jason off the hook because I buy my own gift AND I get what I want. LOL! And those blueberries are awesome. I will be using that idea for sure. Hope everyone is well. -Molly B
This is so cool and love your creative style. I know I always say this….but it’s TRUE! I look forward to your major MOJO everyday.
Lauren, another awesome template… I am so afraid of doing them, but everything you create is truly so amazing and useful! I’ll have to eventually break down and try one for real! 🙂 Thanks for all your creative genius!
I’m one of those basket collectors and when I saw this project I was stopped in my tracks. I just can’t wait for the 15th. You have outdone yourself! Thanks so much.
Lovely! I’m from Maine and I think that there is NOTHING better than fresh picked blueberries baked into muffins. I can not (and I tried Lauren!) think of anything better to fill a basket decorated with blueberries…except maybe if you could fill it with a bowl of blueberries in cream *sigh* summer hurry up and get here!!
I enjoy your blog every single day, but the best is when you start to preview your newest Timeless Templates, they are the bomb diggity. Thank-you for sharing your creativity with all of us to enjoy.
Lauren, you are so creative!! Those blueberries are great and I am not a big fan of them.
Great Ideas!! Your brain must always be going a mile a minute! Love your newest projects.
Adorable! I’m floored on how you made your own blueberry stamp!
I love it, and your blueberries are fantastic!
Here I am thinking that there’s a new blueberry stamp and you didn’t tell me?! Silly me! Brilliant you!
SO DANG CUTE!!! I see cute Easter gifts for teachers in my future. Thanks for all you do!

Such a cute template!! I love how you did the blueberries – at first, I thought that was a sneak peek for a new set and was getting all excited! Nice job 🙂
Love the basket and those muffins look scrummy. Please can you explain at some stage the rock n roll technique? Thanks
Love the basket and the blueberries are awesome!!
What an adorable little basket! I love the blueberries and the muffins look yummy!!
Thanks for the great basket….can’t wait to download the template. Such a great idea and the perfect size to take to someone in the hospital…and they don’t have to worry about taking the basket home (as if anyone would leave a hand stamped gift!). Great paper engineering, woman!
Love both of the new templates Lauren. Can’t wait to see what else you do with them. Thanks for the sneak peeks!
