I made this set of Fresh Fruits cards and matching tote as a thank you gift. I minimized the layers and lumps (embellishments) so she wouldn't have to concern herself with extra postage. All the fruits are colored with chalks (Poppin' Pastels) and sprayed with matte sealer. I don't think I'm very good at ensembles or collections because I get tired of working on too much of the same thing. I hope she likes it.
The tote is an adaptation of a 2-4-6-8 box. I'm also posting a photo of just the tote. Cut cardstock 5 3/4" x 11". Score on the long side at 3/4". Turn and score across at 3/4", 5 1/4", 6" and 10 1/2". See Post #3 of this thread for rmower's really great instructions:

geez leslie, i adore these!! fresh fruits is one of my favorite sets and you do the most glorious things with them. i would give anything if i could take a class from you. i guess you never thought about moving to maryland? lol! you give an added dimension to your stamping that just makes it extraordinary and the colors are wonderful. i'll just have to be satisfied to sit and study your cards and see if i can glean from them. tfs your amazing talent with us!

Leslie this ensemble is incredible! Each and every card is a stand alone beauty, but even so much more impact as a set! Love the idea of this tote too!
