Spring Preview: Easter Basket

Not much longer now... only 5 more sleeps until you can get your hands on the new products that are in the A Muse Studio Spring Accessoires Catalog and Inspiration Guide (March 1st). 

I have lots to share with you before then so I hope you will be joining me this week for some great product reveals.  And, I also thought we'd share the joy a little with some GIVEAWAYS!

Today I will be giving away one of our brand new Easter Basket Die sets.  This die set includes 5 dies and is priced at $18.99. 

To enter to win, simply leave a comment here letting me know which die-cutting machine you use.  Also, if you are using a digital cutter, I'd like to know more about that... which machine you own and how much you use that compared to your die-cutting machine. 

Here's some fun projects our team created using the Basket Die Set!

This first card shows off the Bunny and Bow from the set, along with our Egg die, the Even Taller Alpha Die Set and for our long-time fans... you'll see that we have brought back some of our Petite Gingham cardstock for Spring.  Yay!

This next tag shows the Bunny cut out of a tag with the French Roast Gingham showing through.  I love the button used as the bunny tail.  Fun!

 

Here's our Big Bunny as a cupcake topper.  So cute!

This last card features some of the other dies included with the Easter Basket die set - the Basket, the Tiny Egg, and the Larger Bow. The basket was cut from our yummy Kraft cardstock and stamped with the flowers from our Egg-stravaganza stamp set. We used our Score Board to create the trellis background. Pretty! 

Thanks for joining me today.  I hope you will post a comment to enter our giveaway!  I will draw a winner for this giveaway on Wednesday, February 26th at 1:00 pm EST so you have until then to enter.  Good luck to all that enter.

I would *LOVE* to win these adorable goodies!

I have a Sizzix BigShot machine, and I absolutely love that it can cut any thickness of die and a bunch of different materials like felt, sponge, magnet, etc.

[Miriam Prantner]

Very cute dies! I own a Vagabond and also a Silhouette portrait. I probably use the Vagabond more....I will use it more for tinkering and experimenting with dies. Usually when I use the silhouette I have a defined action plan and I'm doing something specific.

[Dana W]

So cute!! Love the little bunny!! I have a big shot and silhouette cameo. I use the big shot more, ONLY because im too lazy to get up and get my laptop! When i have my own craft room i'll have a space just for my laptop to sit so i can use the silhouette more!!

[Amy Cooley]

Very cute projects! I love my Big Shot! It's my favorite crafting tool to use! Thanks for the fun giveaway!

[Denise Bryant]

Darling cards, tag and cupcake topper! Love your fun dies and the Petite Gingham cardstock! (I think I have some of almost every color it is available in!).
I have both a Cuttlebug and a QuicKutz Revolution for cutting dies!

[Chris wokaty]

I use the sizzex big shot. It's the electric one. I'd love to win the new die set so I could use it with them 🐇

[Peggy Freidel]

I have and use Sizzix BigShot machine and Grand Calibur. I use my BigShot more than my GC, but when using Spellbinder dies, I like the GC. For digital I have an old Silhoutte SD that I don't use enough. I love digi die cuts though especially when I am doing a large number of die cuts.

[Dawn]

I use the Big Shot, and I'm very happy with it. I'm a huge fan of coordinating stamps + dies.

I also have a Cricut, but I never use it (I'm actually going to sell it later this year). I've contemplated the Silhouette because of the ability to connect it to the computer, but I haven't taken the plunge yet.

[Crafty Math Chick]

I have a Cuttlebug, Spellbinders' Wizard and a Big Shot, but I use the Wizard most for steel die cutting. I also own a Cricut machine - I love it but don't use it nearly enough. Thanks for the chance to win these cute dies!

[Pat Sielaff]

Very interesting new supplemental have a wish list started. I currently use sissix and cuttlebug but I just ordered the Embosser....can't wait for it to get her.

[Andrea Blackwell]

I have a big shot and would love to have these dies to go with it! I also have a cricut, but that gets a lot less use!

[Shirley]

I use a Big Shot. Love the Easter die

[Claudia McClamb]

I have a Grand Calibur and an old Big Shot, no digital cutters for me - I'm still trying to figure out Facebook! I prefer the Grand Calibur because I can die cut everything I need in one pass, but I also have a lot of those thick dies so the Big Shot has its uses.

[Cheryl]

Love the bunny dies; your projects really make me want this die set. I have a Big Shot and a Cuttlebug. I very rarely use my cuttlebug, since I started using my Big Shot, which seems so much easier to work with.

[Kari Amstutz]

Love these! As much as I love crafting, I love to bake. I would enjoy the chance to make toppers for cupcakes. Keep up the cute products!

[Lori Barnett]

I use my big shot machine more than my Silhouette Cameo. Mostly because it's a quick crank and I'm done :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the new goodies in the Spring Guide. :)

[Laura]

I love my spellbinder and cuttlebug. I love how big the spellbinder is to cut a lot at one time!

[Amie]

I have a big shot and love it! I use it for almost every project.

[Tyuana]

I love my grand caliber. I also have a cricut but it doesn't get as much use these days, especially because it doesn't do digital...

[sherry czarnecki]

I have all the systems, caliber, big shot and cuttlebug and accu-cut BUT, I use whichever one I can unbury first!

[Jessica Pascarella]

What a beautiful project! Love the details. I love my Cuttlebug! Use it everyday!!!

[Debbie Kruse]

Fun!! Love the bunnies.

[rosemary c]

I have a cuttlebug and use it all of the time.

[Chris F]

Love this new die set! :) I have a silhouette that I just bought off a friend so still learning to use it ... Otherwise I use my big shot all the time.

[Melissa]

I probably reach for my Cuttlebug most often in my stamp studio but I also have a Big Shot & the Grand Caliber. I am a newbie to the Cameo but I love using it when I need to die cut multiples of the same thing for a workshop or class. I love the new Easter Basket die set, so cute!

[Lisa C]

Super cute! I have the original Sizzix, as well as the Cricut and the Cricut Expression. Thinking about either a Silhouette or the new Cricut Explore.

[Tina Rucker]

Well.... I did use a Big Shot until two weeks ago when my completely died. :( Sad day for sure! Luckily my mom had a Cuttlebug that I can use for time being and I must say I enjoy it due to its compact size. I would love to win this die set with the holidays around the corner and the first Easter for my grandson so planning on making lots of goodies!

[Linda H]

Cute! I use a Fiskars Fuse as well as a Silhouette Cameo. I use my Cameo more for cutting and my Fuse for embossing since I don't have a lot of dies. Love them both!

[Kamila]

I use the grand calibur, big shot and silhouette. Love them all! I also love the a muse studio digital files. :)

[April]

Thanks for the chance to win! I own a cuttlebug which I adore and a Cricut which is a giant paperweight!

[Susan N]

I still use the Sizzix Big Shot. Love the new die cuts. Thanks for a chance to win.

[Kerry Bayne]

Would love to be able to use this super cute new die set!
I have a grand caliber that I use for amuse dies, but also use a cricut - I find that the electronic one is easier for making mass quantities of certain items! :)

[Brenda]

I love to make Easter projects. The Easter Basket die set is SO, SO cute! I think it can be quite versatile too...not just for Easter. How cute would that basket be with flowers? I use both the Big Shot and Grand Calibur. I just bought a used Cricut Expression...my first electronic die cutter. I haven't had time to experiment with it yet. I would love to upgrade to the Silhouette one of these days. Just need to get familiar with electronic die cutting and see if I like it. I love having physical dies. Thanks for the chance at winning the die set, Linda. You're the best.

[Jane Fires]

I love to make projects with our dies. I have the Grand Calibur, Big Shot, Cuddlebug, Cricut expression, and the Silhouette. I use the Silhouette and the Grand Calibur most of the time. Like them all but love the last two best. The winning dies if I win would be used for give aways to my hostess as I already own them. Hugs

[Connie Good]

Very cool Easter card! I use a Bigshot to cut dies out...very col dies.

[tobey]

love the basket die, the card with the crepe paper ruffle….adorable!! Love having the gingham back!!

I use my big shot most of the time, I have a silhouette, but I have yet to master it… so yeah, I use the big shot all the time…...LOL

[Mary Sara P.]

While it looks like my comment earlier didn't post. I love the look of these and can't wait for that basket die. Really cute projects. I have a Grand Calibur, electric Big Shot, a Silhouette Cameo. I use my Grand Calibur the most and just learning to use the Silhouette. Thanks for the fun giveaway.

[Amy]

I use a Big Shot sometimes. Thanks for the giveaway!

[Paulette Leto]

I actually don't have a machine at the moment, so I will settle for fawning over all the cute bunnies in these pictures!

[Vivian Hayes]

Who doesn't love bunnies. So Cute. I have the Big Shot and Cuttlebug. Use them both a lot. No electronic cutter
but have used my nieces and think they are awesome

[Shari]

I have a grand caliber for my larger dies but I use my cuttlebug for most of my paper crafting. I love all of the new dies coming out - I am looking forward to working on some spring projects!

[Teresa g]

OMG so cute! I have the Epic 6 from LifeStyle crafts as wll as the Silhouette. I use the Silhouette much more frequently than my Epic. Really the only thing I use my Epic for is when I have die/stamp sets. I would use my silhouette if I could there just aren't that many sets you can get at this point.

[Judy C]

I love this set! Die cutting... I have a chuttlebug that I was using for die cutting and embossing. Now only for embossing. Close to two years ago I got my Grand Calibur. I liked that I could use an entire sheet of paper and found I wasted less. I began to have a hard time if I was cutting a large # of die cuts (ie for OWH) because I have had multiple nerve surgeries in my arm. When Amuse Studio came out with the digital dies I was in love and purchased a cameo. This combination is perfect for me. Hint... I hope to see many more in the future. I even have digital copies of dies that I had already owned. I also have held off on buying some (ie geek) in hopes of seeing more digital.

[Sandy Johnson]

I use my Cuttlebug exclusively, I just haven't decided if I would use a machine as much as I do the Cuttlebug, plus I have a space issue! I use my dies constantly and am happy with my system. So nice to see Amuse offering new dies and love the bunny and basket set!

[Kathy Honick]

Love the quilting look and use of tissue paper on the card. I have all cutters except the silhouette... I seem to gravitate to a variety of cutters depending on the dies I use! Love the immediate gratification.
