I used the Stampin' Up! Popcorn box thinlits dies to create the hot air balloon basket. I then decorated the basket by die cutting the cloud from Cupcakes & Carousels designer series paper stack and layered the Happy Easter sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set over the top of the cloud having punched it out using the Classic Label punch. Some Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon and Rhinestones completes the balloon's basket.
To create the 3D hot air balloon, I die-cut four hot air balloons in Flirty Flamingo card stock and adhered them together around a paper straw which I had in my stash. I adhered the straw to the bottom of the Popcorn box and 'anchored' the balloon to the box with Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine on all four corners of the basket. I then added a few rhinestones to embellish the balloon.
To complete the treat, the hot air balloon basket was then filled with yummy chocolate Easter eggs and has had to refilled a couple of times since - it's funny how Easter eggs seem to just disappear in my home. ;) Does that happen at your place too?
