Simply Sweet by Sharon

This week I had 2 challenges that

I combined into one project. Well,

sort of. LOL. Over at Queen of my

Craftroom the DT was challenged

to make a 3D project and the Crazy

About Cricut DT was challenged to

make an Easter treat. So, I decided

to make these cute Strawberries.

I made two types of strawberries.

The ones for the 3D project were

filled with one Hershey kiss. Actually

that is all that will fit. LOL. The other

strawberries I put a sucker inside them.

You can see the sucker stick in the photo

above. The strawberry is a SVG cut that

you can find here:

I ran the strawberries and tops

trough the cuttlebug with the swiss

dots folder. I then chalked them to

bring out the dots. You need to make

a hole on each of the petals of the

strawberry (you will understand when you

see the pattern) and in the center of the

tops. I then used some fluffy yarn and

ran it through all the holes and the tops.

I needed to add something to keep the

knot from slipping through the top hole

so, I added a green button.

The basket was cut from the 2010

Easter cartridge. I cut it out with the

fit to page button. I thought it looked

to flat so, I used my MS score board

and scored it at every 1/4 inch going

both ways. I then used a light brown

chalk to make the lines pop out.

The brown paper filler is actually

a paper lunch sack that I cut with

my paper cutter. I didn't want to

spend $2.00 on a bag of paper filler

so, I figured why not try to make my

own. And I was very happy with how

wonderful it turned out.

I hope you enjoyed my project and

will come back soon.
