I made this container using the Basket & Blooms die in an alternative way.

Products used:  Real Red and Pretty in Pink cardstocks; Real Red Ink pad; Sending Love DSP; With All My Heart stamp set (Occasions mini); Baskets & Blooms die; Scallop Circle, Scallop Oval and Large Oval punches; Build-a-Brad.

Want to know how to make the "flower"?  I just punched 4 of the scallop circles out of the DSP and then scrunched them.  Note: You can mist the punched paper with water first before scrunching so it looks a little more ragged (shabby chic) but I didn't for this sample.

A couple more alternative ways to use this die.

Left:  Real Red, Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla cardstock; Real Red ink pad, Well Scripted stamp set (Occasions mini); Sending Love DSP; Baskets & Blooms die; Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit; Large Heart punch; Punch Labels Movers & Shapers die.

Right:  Real Red and Whisper White cardstock; Real Red and Craft White ink pads, I {Heart} Heart stamp set (Occasions mini/Haitian Relief promotion); Baskets & Blooms die;Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit; Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder; Large Heart and Scallop Trim border punches; Real Red Sending Love Epoxy brad; Whisper White Organza Ribbon.
