Here is a basket I designed and decorated for Halloween. There is a project online using three pillow boxes to make a basket. I decided to make the basket with design studio and cut it in one piece. The basket uses GBS, HA and AE. There are some other pages with this file for decorations that also use PDDU & CO. I've had so much fun making these.
I also decided to make some into luminaries. YOU MUST USE ONLY BATTERY OPERATED TEA LIGHTS IN THESE. Candles cause the luminary to ignite!!!!!
I am including the cut file for the basic basket. Instructions are simple. Cut the basket, DO NOT REMOVE FROM MAT. NOW CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS TO BLADE DEPTH 1 AND PRESSURE AT LOW. Then cut the score lines. Remove from mat now and fold on scorelines. Glue around each edge of the bottom and up the tab on the side. I used Zip Dry and found it worked very well for this. I used scrap strips about 6" long for the handles and attached them with brads. It is much easier to decorate before assembling the basket. I hope you have as much fun with this as I did.

Hi Laurinda
Wanted to let you know that I uploaded a card to my blog. I used the popup ball file you made to cut the ball.
Thanks again for sharing that file.
