This little paper basket is woven together in the style of the valentine baskets you probably made as a child.
I put Dove chocolates inside and gave it as a birthday card.
I traced their pattern and cut the pieces with my Silhouette Cameo. I also used the Cameo to draw the "Happy Birthday" sentiment using the pen holder.
After I finished, I realized I was supposed to layer the grass behind the flowers. Whoopsie. A little trimming took care of that so the flowers could peek out.
Layering with the flowers on the bottom does make the inside very pretty, however.
And then I couldn't get the point to come together properly so I had to cut apart the last strip at the point. That little bit of grass and the flower is a disguise.

The pattern is from Papermatrix, a site I highly recommend.
