Hi! I created this fun little weaved basket-or *bushel* if you will-card and the strawberries from tart-n-tangy SU! set. This is a simple project, but a bit time consuming for 2 reasons: 1- you have to cut about 8 individual strawberries out and 2- the weave prep take a few extra min.
The card measures 5"l, scored in half to be 2 1/2" tall and 3" wide at the top; each side tapers 1/2" in toward the bottom. My strips of neutral cardstock were cut to about 3/8" each,then distressed and sponged with brown ink. I then weaved the paper beginning with 2 strips crossed at the lower left corner, then going over and under repeatedly until there is enough of a weave to cover the front of the card base. Adhere the entire weave piece on top of the card, then trim around the edges.
The strawberries were stamped repeatedly overlapping each other to form a small *cluster*. I stamped about 6-8 individual berries and cut each of them out. I adhered the berry cluster to the card, then glued down individual berries over any overlapping stamped images. I popped a few berries for added dimension.
Loop 2 small pieces of ribbon to either side with mini brads to create *handles*. That's it! I added the so many scallops circle sentiment and stuck a big HPH brad in the center. You can add a tag or greeting or whatever you want.
TFL, hope you like my bushel of berries card!
