Instructions:

1.  Place the basket and all the strawberries onto the support stock.
2.  Trim the basket as we normally do.
3.  With the strawberries, trim the stems (not on cardstock) as we normally trim.  Then, place them onto the strawberries.  Then, detail trim the whole strawberry.
4.  Layer on the white and decorative panels.
5.  Complete the inside of the card.
6.  Using the 1/4 inch pop dots, position the basket onto the main card.  ***Do not place pop dots too close to the top--you will want to be able to slip berries under the top rim.
7.  Pre-position the berries onto the main card.  When you are happy with your lay-out, start attaching the berries with the 1/16 and 1/8 inch pop dots.  ***Remember that pop dots will not stick to velvet.***
8.  Using the dries clear adhesive, glue on the one strawberry and the black half-beads.  Allow to dry.
