I used a brand new FREE! template from Waltzingmouse called Strawberry Suite to make my cute little basket and pretty red strawberries!
I white embossed a background stamp on the strawberries and stamped the same background on the sides of the box with Brushed Corduroy Ink.
I cut the edges off a paper doily and adhered them just inside the top edges of the box folding them over onto the front to look like its lining the inside of the box and I placed the box on top of another paper doily. I used green twine to gather up the sides of the strawberry and tied it through the green leaf on top with a bow - leaving the ends to hang down.
Isn't this the sweetest little box filled with berries?!

There is a lot of work in your little box of berries, Julia....but worth every second! Really adorable. I like the pattern you chose to stamp on the basket and berries.

This is adorable..I love the pattern on the berries ..they look so yummy and inviting in their doily lined basket. And how about getting your inspiration from the props in the picture...now that's an inventive idea!
