Here is a peek at a new collection from the Occasions minicatalogue: Springtime Vintage. I used the patterned paper and matching button to create this cute gift basket for my friend Maggie, who was my Leadership roommate.
That basket was very quickly put together, thanks to the fact that everything I need could be found on the Basket & Blooms die: basket, embellishing strip, tag and flowers. The flower on the tag is a flower I cut out directly from the patterned paper. I threaded to button with Early Espresso narrow taffeta ribbon and tied it to the basket.
I placed some Ferrero chocolates inside a cello bag tied with Rose Red seam binding (new colors of seam binding have been added in the new mini!) and placed the bag inside the basket.

The basket is in a place of honor in my stamp room. And I do have to say Drew enjoyed the chocolates as much as I did. Good thing you told me it wasn't pop tarts!!!
