This Strawberry basket is made using the Bigz Clear Square Scallop Die.  I will try to make a tutorial on how to make this soon.  Not sure who came up with the patterns for the strawberries I put inside.  I received one as part of a swap over a year ago and just took it apart and traced it to make more.

Tart & Tangy stamp set (You can get this set for FREE during SAB-just one more day!); Rose Red and Old Olive markers & cardstocks; Sweet Pea DSP; 5 petal Flower, 1-1/4", 1-3/8" and Scallop Circle punches;  Paper Crimper.

When I get stumped for ideas (like I did over the weekend-thus no new posts!) I like to surf a few of my favorite demonstrator's blogs.  This idea is almost an exact copy of one by Becky Roberts.

The stamp set I used on the sides is called Happy Moments-only available through March 31 as it's a Sale-a-bration (SAB) only stamp set.  The paper for the flowers are made using the Welcome Neighbor DSP also only available during SAB.

I totally cased a card design that Becky Roberts posted on her blog-thanks for the great idea Becky!  I changed the design a bit so I could use it with my idea sheet for a Mini Notecard holder and 6 matching 3"x3" cards (same as my Fox & Friends project posted on 3/17).
