Hi there blog friends, this is a set that I’ve had on my desk for several weeks, that I’ve been dying to play with. In between all the moving and saying goodbye, I stole out to the studio and finished up the stawberries in the basket. I’d call this project a welcome break, seriously, this.was.fun! The sweet strawberry set was an additional release by Waltzingmouse Stamps in July, it’s called Big Berries – Strawberry. In addition, very soon the kit with the strawberries is coming to Waltzingmouse also. You won’t have to use a wicker basket though, because there’s a sweet basket pattern to go along with it.
I made the card by stamping the strawberry and sentiment on a strip of paper and then I hand trimmed the left edge and cut a pennant on the right edge. For the background I used one of the new Spellbinders Asian M-Bossabilities™. I guess I just noticed that the border from Spellbinders™ Asian Accents matched the arcs on the embossed background, so I added the border above my stamping. From the same set, I pulled a doily-like element for some interest in the top right corner.
It’s not often that I reach for grosgrain ribbon, but the punch of the red ribbon and white polka dots matched the strawberry so nicely. I finished up with a pearl flourish and a flower from Spellbinders™ Ribbon Buckles to top off the bow.
The small strawberries are sooo easy to make. I cut them out with my Silhouette Cameo. Once cut, it was easy to fold them and secure them. I topped each one off with a small corsage pin stuck down through the middle. Gotta have a pearl somewhere :-)
ETA: As I went to post this, I noticed that the strawberries and the sweet basket are uploaded and they are free. Have a look, won’t you? Claire explains everything you’ll need – they can be cut with a machine or by hand!! The link is below - http://waltzingmouse.blogspot.com/2012/07/freebie-strawberry-suite-templates-and.html

Oh Becca, I LOVE everything about your card, it’s truly amazing, just like you! The ribbon and strawberry matching so perfectly and I just love how the white embossed background and the red go together. I think I’m going to have to get this strawberry set once it’s available. Thanks so much for all your great show pieces.

Your card and basket of strawberries are just beautiful. I love how the strawberry and ribbon match on the card. I love the stick pin. Now who would have thought that something so simple as a piece of fruit could look so elegant and it does. Beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D

Becca, this is so cute. I love strawberries and even cover an old frig with wrapping paper that had strawberries on it and then put modge podge over the top. We use it for 8 years, like that and now it painted dark green in the basement. It’s still working and is about 50 years old or so. I had forgotten about it till now. Life goes on.
Hugs,

I have been following your blog for a while now and am in awe of your talent. Your creations are so beautiful; I don’t know how you ever part with them to send the to anyone. I can’t venture a guess as to your news, but from having read all your posts back to the beginning, I am certain you deserve only the very best.

Love the way you have combined the blues in this card.
Since you love ribbon so much, I will guess that you have designed your own line of ribbon.

My guess is that you will be having a book published containing all, or most, of the designs that you have shown on your web site. It will be published for the Christmas market and cost $35.00. Hope that is it and you make lots of money so that you will be secure and not have to stop what you love to do.

I also think you are going to publish a book or a magazine with all your beautiful cards and how to make them and supplies needed. This would be a great idea and you would have no problems selling them. Whatever it is I am sure it’s going to be something BIG.

I am going to guess that Spellbinders are making dies to match your stamps. Close? Have a great day and love your bueautiful cards. Hugs, Linda

Becca,
I smiled when I read that you had a “simple” card today. Girlfriend, you don’t ever have a “simple” card. Your cards are always multi-layered, multi-embillished and simply georgeous. I’m thinking that you have another one of your great new products that you have designed yourself that will be unveiled on Wednesday. I want you to know that I love my bow-making tool you designed, so I’m thinking that whatever it is, it will be wonderful and very useful. I love that will mind of yours and you for always sharing with us.

I think you have designed your own paper line so that you have those delicious papers for all your beautiful cards.

you have the best ideas on layering paper, dies, stamps, ribbons and bling!!
