Sweeter With You Quart of Strawberries Gift

August 17, 2025 No Comments

This Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up has made some really cute things. I am loving this tag I made to attach to a quart of strawberries to give to a friend. Stampin’ Up used to have some packs of fabric to use for your crafting so I used some of the fabric to line the quart and also to tie the tag onto the plastic quart I got from a farmers market filled with strawberries.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin Kit (July 2025 Paper Pumpkin Stampin’ Up)
Sweeter With You stamp set (July 2025 Paper Pumpkin Stampin’ Up)
Blue Floral Fabric (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Sweet Sorbet ink (Stampin’ Up)
Hole Punch
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

The kit comes with some white pre-cut scallop rectangle pieces which I used as the base of the tag. Then it has some Pool Party and white striped paper that I used to stamp the “Life is Sweeter with You” greeting stamp from the stamp set included in the kit and Sweet Sorbet ink. I cut to size to fit on the top portion of the scalloped rectangle piece and adhered at an angle. Then cut another piece the same size for the bottom of the rectangle scallop tag.

Then I took one of the Pool Party strips included in the kit and stamped the “You’re the Best” greeting on it in Sweet Sorbet and adhere that angled along the bottom on the striped piece. Then take one of the strawberry container cut-outs and two of the bigger red strawberries and two of the smaller. Adhere the container cut-out above your label with Pop dots. Adhere the two large strawberries and one of the smaller into the container with pop-dots and regular adhesive to your liking. The put the last strawberry to the outside at the bottom of the container.

Take your hole punch and cut two holes through the container portion of your tag and cut a strip of the fabric to run through the tag and the container to tie your tag on. Tie a knot and cut each end at an angle to finish. Now cut a piece of fabric to fit your container with enough to hang out over the edge.

This is a quick and easy way to give an adorable gift filled with strawberries to a friend or neighbor.

Take your two pieces of Darling Duckling card stock and cut to 4 pieces 5 ½” x 8 ½”. With Sizzix Bigz Box #3 die cut two each of both box pieces.

From the Painterly Pears designer series paper, find the Night of Navy pieces with the flowers and pear and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 12”.

Take one of the larger pieces and fold in at the two score marks, and one of the smaller pieces and fold the flaps in. The two smaller pieces are the side, adhere three of the sides of each to the two pieces to form your box. Take the designer series paper piece and put adhesive on the back. Starting on the front of the box adhere to the center of the flap and start wrapping it around the box folding as you go. Trim excess at the flap.

Take a spare piece of white card stock, your Black Momento Ink and your small pear stamp outline and stamp. Take your Darling Duckling ink and the inside small pear stamp and stamp inside. Use your Mossey Meadow Blender Pens (light and dark) and color the leaves. Use the Old Olive Blender Pens (light and dark) and if needed your Darling Duckling Blender Pens (Light and Dark) and shade the pears to your liking. Use the die to cut them out.

With the Bigz XL Matchbox Die cut one each of the three labels with a piece of Darling Duckling card stock and a piece of Night of Navy card stock. Also cut out some of the tiny flowers with the Perfectly Pears dies. With a spare piece of Mossy Meadow card stock cut some leaves for behind the flowers. Take the small Darling Duckling labels you cut and stamp the “friend” greeting from the Perfectly Pears stamp set. Adhere to one of the larger Night of Navy labels and then decorate the label with the pears, leaves and flowers and adhere to the top of your box.

This gives you an adorable gift box to fill with a handful of candy or a small gift for a friend.
