Happy Valentines Day to you all. I'm here to share a card I made using a much longed for stamp set I finally got myself. I also wanted to try this pop-up box card, which I adapted to make a pop-up basket card instead. Besides time, a lot of love went into making this card which will go to my mum on her upcoming birthday. I hope you like my basket of roses.

| card folded flat on the envelope |
Altenew-Vintage Roses stamp set
inks- Tsukineko-pearlescent poppy, rocket red & an office stamp pad for roses
Hero Arts ombre-lime to forever green for leaves
giftwrap paper for basket
mesh tube flex ribbon for handle
tag-recycled from a gift received
MISTI, precision scissors, glue
 |
| showing the additional calyx & stems |
 |
| the basket template with 5 strips for layering |
The roses and leaves were stamped multiple times...the roses were stamped with a MISTI and the leaves were hand stamped. Then all fussy cut. A template was made for the basket, to fit a 7.5" x 5.5" envelope...each side measuring 3.5" x 2.5". The cane design gift wrap paper was adhered on kraft card stock the template traced over it, then cut. A strip of the same paper was adhered at the top edge with the cane design running vertical then colored with a marker for contrast. 5 strips 0.75" x 4.5" were cut for the layers, scored at 0.5" at both ends and folded to form tabs. After scoring, folding and gluing the basket, the tabs of the 5 strips were glued on two opposite sides. The flower arrangement was completed and finished by attaching the handle and tag.
My card seems to fit into several challenges. So, I'm entering this card at...

WOW, Leanne, this basket full of roses is AMAZING! So gorgeous and such a labor of love ... I am sure your mom will love it! Thanks for sharing with us at Paper Sweeties in February!
Wow, wow, wow!! This is incredible! I found myself subconsciously leaning in closer to my computer screen to take in all of the great details, so thanks for including such great pictures of the structure itself. The roses on their own are stunning enough, but when you arranged them all together in this amazing structure, it is a remarkable and unique piece! I'm sure your mom will absolutely love this piece. I know I do! Thank you for sharing something so interesting and inspiring with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
