Strawberry Patch

Hello and welcome to the third day of the Papertrey Ink April Countdown and the first Design Team group post. Today's post is all about the new Strawberry Patch and Strawberry Patch Sentiment sets, along with its perfect match... the Berry Basket Die. We've been busy creating projects that have been perfectly picked from the patch. In preparation for an upcoming birthday, here is a gift ensemble perfect for my dear friends sweet little daughter...A berry basket filled with a strawberry themed tee and hair clips.It all started with this basket. I die cut four sides of this Berry Basket from Simply Chartreuse pattern paper and assembled. Then tied two Pure Poppy ribbon handles on either side.I die cut and stamped a Layerz Mat Stack #1, folded the top over and attached to the front of the basket. Then die cut and stamped a sentiment banner, attached with dimensional adhesive and embellished with a button.I purchased a simple white toddler tee, which was already embellished with a few white fabric flowers, and simply stitched a couple buttons and a die cut felt strawberry into place. Here's a tip: After die cutting and before attaching, I embellished the berries with a few dots of Liquid Pearls and let them dry completely. Then assembled a few extra strawberries to embellish a few coordinating hair clips. Here's A Tip: I attached the hair clips to a die cut button card by punching three half circles (using a small circle punch) from the sides and then clipped each into place.Next, the coordinating card. I simply stamped a Rustic White card base with Strawberry Patch images in a color combo of Smokey Shadow, Pure Poppy and Simply ChartreuseDie cut and stamped an additional large strawberry and attached it to the card base with dimensional adhesive.To finish things up, I wrapped the entire ensemble in clear cellophane and topped with a Pure Poppy bow. Then stamped the card envelope with the same strawberry images as above, inserted the card and attached to the base of the package.

Well, there you have it. It sure is nice to have this gift ready with time to spare too. I hope you've enjoyed! Now, be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...

Thanks for stopping by!

  4. Woah, woah, woah. How did I miss this post? What an amazing ensemble, and as usual you make it look so easy! Love all the stamped strawberries that you left uncolored, too (on the hair clip paper and on the envelope). This is really inspiring.

  11. This is just adorable! I especially love the hair clips!! I am a little concerned about the tee though... Won't the felt bleed when she washes the tee? And the dimensional pearl might not like the washing machine either...
