Can you believe it’s MARCH?!!!
What happened to the summer? LOL! Seems like just yesterday I was planning Christmas stuff, now I’m back praying for summer. We are getting SLAMMED with the snow this year, here in New England.
Makes me really wish for warmer weather.
Im so into SPRING mode-its insane.
So here is a taste of Spring-well in really summer’s end, but let’s not get technical.
Nothing screams AWESOME more than a gift set, that is all co-ordinated!!
Here in the photo we have a Strawberry theme!
A Basket, a strawberry shaped card, strawberry themed heart tin, and little strawberry shaped gift boxes.
I just used my Ruby Red cardstock stamped with my Polka Dot Basics (with white craft ink), to create my Strawberry theme.
The leafy green was done using Spring Moss cardstock/ribbon. I actually used the wild flowers die, cut apart, for the berry tops.
The basket-that was created from the very same large scallop heart nestabilties, as my previous heart baskets.
I cannot even tell you how much FUN I had making this set.
I love Strawberries, and think this is the cutest set to give at almost anytime of year.
You could fill the basket with home-made strawberry jam, chocolate covered strawberries, plain strawberries, strawberry shortcake, strawberry scented candles, or body lotions. OR whatever other awesome strawberry thing you can find! LOL! Maybe a Strawberry Shortcake party?!!
In this case I filled the heart tin (decorated to look like a strawberry) with Lifesavers Strawberry Creme Candy.
There is also a “strawberry” shaped card to match! Inside has the same sentiment, as the tin. Sentiment is from the Green Thumb set
Now I KNOW you are wondering about those ADORABLE little strawberry shaped boxes!! These were a breeze to make! I wish it were my creative genius, but it was not.
Kelsy Hull, had sent me a photo of a nestability basket she had made, after seeing a few I posted a couple weeks ago. It was ADORABLE!! I noticed in the basket, she had these berry like things that looked paper crafted. So I asked her about it. You can view her’s —->HERE
She was kind enough to share the template with me! THANKS GIRL!
They were created by Sherrie Brickey——>HERE is her template, that is printable. Please credit her if you use this template for anything.
I used the SU Ginger Blossom paper for my strawberries. I then used the SU! Boho Blossoms punch to create my berry tops. Felt flowers would be GORGEOUS!!! But I wanted to keep it ALL paper. Just sponged the edges, and added a olive brad.
Pretty cute huh?
I thought they make nice accents to surround what ever I else I add inside my gift basket.
So that is it for today.
Ill be back Sunday with my sample for my “Saturday Sketch”. Sorry-so much to do, so little time, and sometime’s a girl has to go with what she WANTS to do, not HAS to do! LOL!
But if you REALLY want to play today-here is the sketch! Click for larger view
Pretty simple/standard this week. But its one of my favorite’s to use.
I have 2 samples this week so stay tuned OK!! AND they BOTH use Stampin Up!
Till tomorrow.

I love themed stuff. It’s just so fun. Great job on everything! You are just rockin’ today.
What is that little stand thingie?! It doesn’t look anything like the easels I’ve seen around.
Yummy set Lauren. I wish I was picking strawberries today instead of watching it snow. OH well soon enough. -Molly B
Adorable set! Love the basket, the tin, the little boxes, everything! Too cute!
Ok. Seriously! Did you just want to hug yourself after you finished this? AMAZING! YOU ROCK!
OMGoodness how awesome is that?!! What a beautiful set -and those little strawberries are just toooo cute!! Very nice Lauren! 🙂
Oh that set is adorable Lauren! I was thinking of the new SU! felt flowers for the tops of the strawberries too but they are too new and I think I need to hoard them for a bit longer…rofl!
The sketch looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see your SU! samples.
Have a fab day!
I have seen those strawberries before on SCS and they are adorable. But MAN you made the CUTEST gift set!!!!! I would seriously FREAK OUT if someone gave that to me.
This is just one of the cutest things I’ve seen you make!
Adorable strawberry set Lauren! I love how you made an ensemble out of it.
OMG this is soooooooooooooooo CUTE!!!!!
Your baskets are amazing….you’re always such an inspiration!!
Great sketch too. I’ll definitely use this one a lot. Here’s my card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/832417?cat=10727
You rock, girl! This is too cute!

OMG, Lauren, that is gorgeous! I love everything about it! That should definitely be in a magazine:)!
So sweet! Love that basket!
What can’t you do? my 23 year old grandson told me to say “UBER”.. great work, makes me want some juicy strawberries……YUMMMM!!!!!!!!!
What a delicious gift set! Thank you for bring a little bit of summer to us!!
WAOW!!!! This is so berry cute!!!! (as Strawberry Shortcake would say…;-) )…
That’s adorable and those little strawberry boxes are just the bomb!!! But you have to add candies in those too!… 😉
Now I have to go get some strawberries from my fridge, they’re in season in Florida (no,no I’m not rubbing it in! 😉 You’ll see it will even out when you’ll post about your gorgeous summer with nice breeze and I will complain about hell-heat and hurricanes/tornadoes… 🙂 )
Hang in there, spring’s almost here! 🙂 Did you see the spring Elzybells stamps? I love the one with the big “spring” word, so cute…
And when you’re stuck inside because of the snow, you’re stamping! When the weather is nice you’re out shopping!!! So you should be grateful for the snow that helps you stick with your budget, LOL…. 😉
Your set is too cute for words! I love it! Another amazing creation! Thanks for sharing! 😀
Too cute, Lauren! Your Nestabilities baskets are fabulous!!!
OH good lord I can’t believe it’s March! My little dudes turn 2 this month!! Where did the time go! Sorry to hear you guys got so much snow this year, isn’t that sort of normal for NH? Down here we didn’t get much at all. Last friday we got about 5/6 inches and that was alot! 🙂 (sorry)
These baskets are to die for! LOVE THEM! You so inspire me, I will use my nesties soon to make on. I only have cirlces so it will have to work! 🙂 2 questions for you: When you make all these wonderful goodies where do you keep them all? and When do you actually stamp? While the kids are at school or at night sleeping? (something tells me you posted things of this sort but can’t remember right this second)
Oh Elzybells, don’t make me go look them up! I can’t I can’t. I have too many uninked stamps!! 🙂 Once again thanks for a great sketch, I will hopefully work on that soon!
oh my gosh!! I thought yesterday’s baskets were adorable, but the strawberry one is tooooo cute!! Now I really want those nestabilities!!
That strawberry basket is too freakin cute!
Thanks Lauren, Nestabilities just moved to the top of my priority list! This set is soo cute. I’m working on the little stawberries right now. I’ll have to see what I can round up for tops though. Thanks for the inspiration!
INCREDIBLE! This may be my favorite of all your creations so far! I too love a set of coordinated items and this set is just amazing! So simple yet so stunning! Thank You So Much for the Inspiration!
Thanks so much to you and Kelsy! Your little heart bag and tin are so pretty. And I am in love with that paper too. Then with Kelsy’s strawberries…amazing.
thanks so much
Jules
Can you go into a litle more detail on making the basket? I know you used the nestabilities but what size is the paper they are attached to?

Way too sweet Berry set, so creative and darling!
This set is absolutely amazing. I love the strawberry theme. We too are buried in snow so I’ve really been trying to put the “Spring”vibe out there with spring flowers, decorations or making spring cards.
This all looks good enough to eat!! JUICY!
Absolutely adorable! You are wonderfully creative!
OMG! Your strawberries put mine to shame!! I love what you did here. The whole themed set is darling! Thanks for linking up my pics!

Lauren – I love this set. I was surfing your site for inspiration and have definately found it. I would love the template for these strawberries, but the link is not working. Is this something you could email to me? 🙂 [email protected]
Thank you so much.
I too cannot get the link to work, I have tried typing in the name Kelsy Hull but your site is the only one coming up. These are great and they would work great at the local school as they are having a strawberry tea lunch to help raise funds for my nephew who has a disabilty called Microcephaly. If it is possible could email me them aswell
