Cut out Basket with Bigshot. Cut off side pieces that are. Stamp background design on both pieces.

Line up top ½ of basket to ¾ mark on your Stampin’ Up! Trimmer and score. Turn over and repeat on other side of basket. (both pieces)

Score the bottom of each piece at ¾”(this will make is stand up and take the curve out). The line on the trimmer does not go all the way down, so just eyeball it.

Cut both small corner end pieces out on bottom of one basket piece
Put sticky strip or snail on bottom and scored sides

Cut corner slits only on other basket piece
Put sticky strip on slit tabs only.

Adhere bottom first, then small slit tabs butting them against the inside wall, adhere sides last.

Punch out Whisper White Square, cut in half. Glue behind Bermuda Square matching scallops. Use dimensional to attach above and below ribbon.
