WOW! Has this been an exciting month at Papertrey Ink or what?!!
I’m going to have quite the creative meltdown when its over.
I have my favorite project to share with you today that I made using my Basket Basics © template (being released the 15th)
Simple Joys
For today’s project I combined 2 of the completedBasket Basic’s templates to make a basket duo!! Just make 2 baskets as directed, then using redline tape, adhere the sides together to give you one larger basket with 2 compartments.
Now you could even made it a quadruple basket and add all kinds of amazingness to it!
I used Kraft cardtock for my template, then distressed it with Tim Holtz tea and walnut inks.
I was so inspired by the design on the bath products that I used that as my inspiration for the gift. Its great to be able to personal your packaging to match you gift!
Its quite sparkly in person.
Spring rain was the perfect color.
The With Sympathy was used for my main image. Sentiment is from Green Thumb.
I put my handle in the back to look like many other store bought baskets I have purchased.
I LOVE packaging bath and beauty products, and now with this template you can save your money on the packaging (since the template is SO CHEAP!! with endless use :D) and use it on what’s inside.
Here is the side view:
Look at everything that can fit in there!
Top view:
We have a large body lotion, body wash, hand sanitizer, bath salts tube. body spray, bar of soap and a hydrating face mask! With a little room to spare.
Now speaking of a little pampering and SIMPLE joys……..
How about using our Round Wrap Up! © to package some tea packets?
Better yet, green tea!!
I know I package this stuff with like every template! LOL! But it really can be a thoughtful gift. Plus its very inexpensive. I love that.
You can get 1/2 a box of tea packets into this little template (OK I drank some so not all shown in photo-sorry! But you get the idea)
I’m on a gray and black kick. Add that pop of Ripe avocado and its really pretty striking don’t you think?
Another view:
This box of tea literally took me a commercial break to make! Cutting and assembling included!!
I LOVE the Garden of Life set, and thought the sentiment was PERFECT for this little gift.
So there you have my peeks for today.
I hope you enjoyed them!
Thanks for checking in with me 😀

Love them both!! I would use the wee one for tea a ton…think I need it:-)
Love the top basket though with all of the bath goodies!!
Seriously girl I don’t know how you do it all. I am already in creative melt down, actually I should say financial melt down over all this months releases!
Love the basket!
both of these projects are just so awesome!
love them both!
Love the round wrap it idea with the tea bags and the color scheme of gray, black and avacado is stunning!
Your basket is so stinkin’ cute! I can’t believe how much it will hold! I love the idea that it’s bigger than many paper projects. I can really see getting some mileage out of this one! And I thought All Boxed Up was uber cool….
Really nice ideas and designs. I Love how your templates are all so adaptable to so many designs and uses. You truly are a very amazing artist Lauren! Thanks for all the creative and thoughtful things you do for us.
wow Lauren these are fab, another two for my want list.xx

Your designs are wonderful!
These two templates are just sooo versatile! I love how you have taken the basket and made a bigger basket by adhering two together – very cool. And that tea holder – sooo neat!! What a cute way to present a gift! Thanks for the ideas!
Wow! I am amazed every time…not only with your templates, but with your use of them! I am so glad I have a little part time job that gets me fun money! I’m pretty sure I’ll be using it all this month on a PTI order!!
Lauren you just amaze me with these templates…that basket is absolutely phenomenal! It looks just like wood…and so much cheaper! These would make the most spectacular gifts for teachers! Can I use any more big adjectives to show how much I love this? Great job!!!!!
love your spa in a box!!!
I am always blown away by your creations. The top set, with the bath products and wood grain basket? My absolute favorite. That would be the prize package to win. If you give it away, I hope the person who receives it loves you and all the work and love you put into that project!
Awesome Lauren!!! I’ve never been a fan of grey colours but I have been liking them in your projects. Maybe I’ll pull mine out soon…lol

Those are fantastic, Lauren, I really need them both and will get them both as soon as I can. I really like the tea holder idea, I have a lot of friends who drink tea and that would make a great little gift. That basket is a great idea for a new mommy or a bride. Thanks for the great ideas.
Have a great weekend.
love it!
You are absolutely the BEST! How I love your ideas for packaging! I enjoy putting little gifts together to share with others. It is my way of saying that I care and I find joy when they smile. Your templates are so fun!
Lauren, these are great projects!! You are so amazing and such a great inspiration.
Oh, oh, oh these are so cute! I wish you had them out now as I need to make a gift for tomorrow and Saturday and would do both of these. Bummer! Oh well…will have to get them to use another time. They are just too cute to pass up. Awesome job!

Loving your basket ideas. And everything else that you’ve been posting has been amazing!
Wow! I love both of these Lauren.
Love, love, love the basket. I see Easter baskets for my grandchildren and Mother’s Day baskets for my Mom and Mom-in-Law. Keep ’em coming!
Lauren these are fabulous and I’m lovin’ that they are fast and easy to create too! What a great gift idea for that special someone!
So so cute! Great uses for both boxes. :o)
The basket idea is great, and I like the color scheme a bunch. But what really caught my eye was the dark grey and avocado colors together. They just work!!! Thanks.
Ooh La La! LOVE that garden basket Lauren! And the second project really does use quite striking colors.
