I know, finally, right?  Here is a guide for making the base of the Lattice basket.  If you’re not familiar with the basket, you can click HERE to see my product list as well as a step by step tutorial on how to weave the side panels.

I did not do a separate video because trust me this basket base is very easy.  For the Cliff Notes, all you need is two pieces of cards stock.  Score as indicated on the template, then take a round object like Spellbinders Standard Circles LG or a template of a circle that you make and trace the basket flaps.  Then cut everywhere the red lines indicate.

To assemble, place glue on both of the areas called Side Tab.  Lay both pieces of paper side by side and overlap on one of the side tabs to combine both pieces.  Then adhere the remaining Side Tab to the remaining open straight edge.  Fold in all the bottom tabs and glue generously for a sturdy basket bottom.  Fold out each of the rounded basket flaps.

At whatever length you prefer, fashion a handle using a strip of cardstock and border punches of your choice.   I’ve used a Martha Stewart border punch for mine; ribbon is another alternative.  Secure to using glue or brads to opposite sides of the basket.

If you have done lace panels they are simply adhered to each side of the basket to decorate!!  In addition under each flap on the basket I gued a Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circle LG just to add a little interest!!

Tip for downloading:  This form is an Adobe PDF.  Adobe Reader is a free version of the program that will allow you to view the file and it can be downloaded HERE.  Several people have contacted me to say they get an error that the file is not there.  You have to have a .pdf reader first before you can download the file.  I’ve retested all my downloads and am able to get them with no problem using Firefox.  I’ll keep trying to find a fix for the 404 error that several are receiving.

    This is, I’m sure, the error you were mentioning. What’s odd is, I received it on the weaving of the Spellbinders frame; but not on the pattern of the basket itself. Just an fyi in case it would help you determine the problem. Thank you so much for all of your work!!! C:o)ReplyCancel

    Does the error have anything to do with the dash between the words weaving and guide? The gif has it and when I get the error it does not. I don’t know anything about errors but I was a proof reader. :O)

Hello there.  This week JustRite Stampers is the host for the CPS Sketch Challenge; this one is CPS-157.  The sketch is perfect so I couldn’t wait to play along. I hope you join us and submit your take on the sketch challenge as well. 

For my card I am using the border from JustRite 2" Decorative 2" Wide Borders that I cut with Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM #2 and #4.  For my bottom layer I cut circles with Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG #4 and #5.  For the sentiment on top I used JustRite Tiny Words Borders and Centers 1 3/16" which is cut with Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG #1 and backed with EK Success 1" Punch.

Today I even decorated the inside.  I sure wish I would do this more, it’s such a special touch, but sometimes I’m just so eager to get done with the card.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite 2: Decorative 2" Wide Borders, JustRite Tiny Words Borders and Centers 1 3/16"
Paper:  Bazzill,  Graphic 45 – Florentine
Ink:  Green Dye Based Inks
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG, EK Success 1" Punch, EK Success Scallop Punch,Pearls

Be sure you stop by the JustRite site for their March Madness sale – check it out HERE. 

Other News

Be sure you stop by the ODBD Blog today.  This month ODBD will be celebrating their second anniversary and it’s gonna blow last years celebration out of the water.  Anniversary challenges were announced today on the blog so you can be ready — festivities start on March 13th with a very special reveal on March 17th.

Special hugs friends!  Thank you for making my week so special with your dreamy travel memories!  I’ll be back tomorrow with a winner!!

Hi there – Sharing a quick bit about my system of storing JustRite Stamps.  I’ve received many emails asking about this so I thought I would include a couple of pictures here.  There are a lot of good ideas floating around out there; I’ve tried a couple over the last year and this one works for me.  Through that journey I’ve found that it really depends on your style and environment.    I’m such a visual person and no matter how I might try to escape the fact, reality for me is that if I can’t see it – I won’t use it.  So I decided to lay out all my JustRite Stamps so that I could browse through them.  Because of that I’m more likely to mix and match elements between sets and believe me, that interchangeability is one of the best benefits of using JustRite Stamps. (Click on any of the pictures to make them larger).

All of my JustRite Stamps are stored in vertical binders that can be flipped through like a book.
Each set is stored in a sleeve along with a reference copy of the images.
The stamps are secured to a clear vinyl insert that fits into the page sleeve.  They are secured with double sided tape.
I put tape just long enough to accommodate the stamps.  If it extends past the stamps the excess tape will stick to the sleeve.

Here are the supplies I used to make my system.  I purchased a stamp binder from Hobby Lobby.  A similar item is available through Ranger/Tim Holtz
I purchased transparent tabs from Office Depot.  (I also use these for my cling mount stamps).
The plastic sleeves came with my binder. I cut the transparent tab to a usable size then I lay down lines of double stick tape for the area needed by the stamps.
I either stamp an index, photocopy the packaging or take a photocopy from the catalog.  Once cut down to size it’s easy to slip this reference into the same sleeve.
I’m just starting on a new binder, so here’s the finished system – ready to flip through!

Thanks for the question and thanks for letting me share another Becca Bit!

    GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

  • Pam HeroldMarch 7, 2010 - 4:54 pm

    I absolutely adore this idea! I really don’t have a good method of storing any of my stamps and the JRS that I have are still in the boxes. I don’t think I have to say how much room these take up and like you, outta sight outta mind for me too. Never thought about double sided sticky tape to adhere them. I gotta try this! Thanks Becca!ReplyCancel

  • PaulaMarch 7, 2010 - 5:01 pm

    this is something I want to have a go at – I’m not a massive stamper and have only just started collecting but I want to theme what I have got so i too can make better use of them. Thanks for sharing how you do it. It makes me feel confident that I was on the right track with my idea.

    Another thing I have done with my JustRite and Studio G(I know but I luv them!!) is I store them in binders but I store them in sleeves specifically used for baseball cards. There are 9 to a sleeve and it seems to fit most of the stamps except the new bigger ones. I am going to have to try this cause it will fit right in!ReplyCancel

I have been looking for some way to store my Justrite stamps, something that will contain what I have, let me see what I have, and still easily allow room for the inevitable future additions to my collection of them. This seems to fit those criteria. Right now, I have them in a plastic container, but it’s just not working the way I’d like it to. Perhaps I’ll give this a try.ReplyCancel

    Thanks so much for the storage tip. I just recently began purchasing some of the Just-Rite stamps, inspired by some of your card creations, and right now I just have them in a box. This would be so much better for the stamps and would insure I don’t forget what I have to use. Since I keep all my other stamps mounted on cling and in binders too, it is a great solution.

    By the way, I really appreciate the changes you’ve made to your approach to blogging, love your Becca Bits, and sincerely appreciate all the inspiration. If I’m stuck on what I want to do, your blog is one of the first places I go…..ReplyCancel

    Thank you so much for the storage tip. I really appreciate all the work you do on your blog. I have been keeping mine in the original boxes, but this would be a lot more convenient and take up less space. Thank you for sharing.ReplyCancel

    I, too, store my JR stamps in a binder…….I have mine in the baseball card sleeves just like Vickie Doswell mentioned. I stamped the image on cardstock and placed it in the compartment with the stamp. This system is working really well……I can now see each stamp and what they look like.ReplyCancel

    I’m tossing out old floppy disks and guess what? Notebook sleeves that will fit some of my stamps. I’m recycling the notebooks too. After all these years, I’m pretty sure I won’t be referencing software on floppy discs any longer. (chuckle).

    I think I have some extra pages that I used to store 35mm slides in as well… hmmmm. now something should fit in those little squares.ReplyCancel

    Have you thought of using re-positional spray glue on the back of your stamps instead of double-sided tape. Here in the UK we have Crafters Companion ‘Stick and Spray’ I use it for all my stamps. One spray will let you place and replace your stamp up to 50 times. It will not make your block sticky but it will hold your stamp onto the acrylic sheet. Less messy than double-sided tape. Hope this helps someone.ReplyCancel

    Thank you. This was perfect for me. I only have a few of these sets, so I was able to use a notebook I picked up at Target on clearance for 50 cents. The notebook included the exact number of transparent tabs that I needed for my project. I’m so excited to have my sets neatly stored as well as to have used my “bargain” notebook.ReplyCancel
