These cute little strawberries boxes will capture your heart and you will like making them even though they take a little time. Using cardstock, a big shot and texture impression die and the flower fold die you can create a little box that holds a chocolate kiss or other small treat.
But don't stop there create a little basket to hold them using Stampin' Up!'s wood sheets found on page 216 of the main catalog under Base Materials for your Big Shot.
This little basket was shown to me by Laree Stewart, one of my creative downline at a retreat a few years back. After making a few of these strawberries I glanced up at my creative shelf and spotted her box and the two were a perfect match.
To make the strawberries you can check out this tutorial by selecting this link.
To make the box, you use: Eight 1/2" x 6" strips of wood sheets. These are weaved together in the middle of the strips, 4 one direction 4 the other, then squeeze them together and bend the remaining ends upward, now weave Two 1/2 x 9 1/2" strips around the strips that are poking upward, the ends of each strip place a glue dot so when you add the rim a 9 1/2" x 3/4" piece of the wood sheets you can attach the ends of the woven basket to it. The rim was colored with Chocolate chip ink using a sponge. Add little ribbon handles with brads and a mini tag for decoration. I also crimped small strips of crumb cake paper for basket filler.
