I made a card with the basket weave technique for the Thursday challenge on Split Coast Stampers. I specifically chose fall colors to work with the Mod Squad Challenge for this week: http://modsquadchallenge.com/fall-stampendous/


The cardstock used is SU Early Expresso and GKD Ivory. I used scraps for the die cut leaves. I wanted the die cut leaves on the front and they needed to be on a color that would help them to be seen, so I made the labels to place them on. The labels were cut using a Hero Arts die and embossed with SU Layered Leaves 3D folder. The sentiment “grateful” came from GKD Skeleton Leaves.
The inside was stamped with a leaf image that was won in a grab bag from Gina K Designs. I do not know the name of the stamp set it originally came from. I used fall colored Memento inks to stamp it. The inside sentiment came from SU Painted Harvest. It is stamped in Memento Expresso Truffle which is a great match for the cardstock.
This was a fun technique to learn and create.

Holly moley you did a great job. I tried this and it did not look this good.
Thank you! This was my second one. The first one was exactly like the video.
Love this, especially the basket weave! Great job!
Thank you! I enjoyed learning something new.
WOW!! great job with the basket weave. I absolutely love this card.
Thank You, Gerry. This was a new technique for me. I enjoy learning and trying new techniques.
Lisa, this is lovely!
Thank you, Golda. I enjoyed the technique and using patterned paper for a change.
I’ve tried this technique in the past and mine did not turn out as good as yours has. Well done in the design and the execution. It is a great card.
Thank You! I am pretty sure I tried it a few years back and was not successful. I created along with a video for another card, then decided to try again with this Fall card. It is fun and different, so give it a try again.
Love the weave and card. Thank you so much for participating this week at the Mod Squad Challenge
