Spellbinders Lattice Petal Birthday Gift Basket with Prima With Love Collection

Hello, Friends! It’s birthday season in the Clement household and this Spellbinders Lattice Petal Birthday Gift Basket is going to be a birthday gift for someone special. The minute I took this die out of the packaging I thought, “gift box.” Then as I was fiddling around with the various pieces, I thought…no…gift basket. And the paper party was underway!

Amazing Paper Grace Club Die of the Month

How cute would this birthday basket be as a special treat for the birthday girl? The petite size (3 1/4″ square x 2 “deep) makes it perfect for use as a place setting at a party. Here’s how I put it together.

First, die cut just the outer frame using Prima’s With Love Paper Collection.
Next, fold the scored sides of the Lattice Petal Frame up from the center square.
Now cut a 7 1/4″ square of pink the pink polka dot patterned paper from the collection.
Then score 2″ on each side to form the sides of the box.
Next, use a punch to add a decorative edge on all 4 sides of the paper. Fold along the scored lines. Cut up the vertical score line to the horizontal score line in each corner . Trim a small triangle out of the top edge of each corner so that the top edge will be neat and clean.
Now adhere the corner flaps to the inside of the box.
Then adhere the box to the base of the Lattice Petal frame piece. Fold up the sides and adhere.
Next, die cut the frame from gold foil cardstock. But this time, place the filigree inserts in the frame. Then adhere the gold foil half moons to the sides as seen.

Finishing Touches

Cut a 2″ x 12″ strip of designer paper to serve as the handle. Adhere the ends inside the basket. Cover the sides of the basket interior with 1 1/2″ strips of designer paper to keep everything looking neat and clean.

Now you can add pink satin bows, flowers and chipboard embellishments to the box. Once all that is done, paint some little box feet and adhere them to the corners of the box.

Lattice Petal Gift Packages

While the feet are setting up on the gift basket, you can use the Lattice Petal Dies to make the sweetest little gift packets to tuck inside the basket. I filled my gift envelopes with a teeny tiny handmade card, tea bag, honey packet, and Ghiradelli Chocolate. Then I attached a mini honey dipper to a little tag, wrapped Biscoff cookies with designer paper, and tucked a demitasse spoon under a bow.

Don’t you love the cream filigree envelope topper? Ooh la la!
