Meet Caitlin from the blog Hue & Hum. Caitlin blogs about art, music, and all sorts of crafts. Her husband is in the rock band Fictionist, and she wanted to make a letterpress print out of a drawing she did of them.

Designer Tiffany Hood made an adorable container of paper strawberries that we wanted to share with you. To make the paper strawberries, she used the Nesting Blossom die for the berry and the Nesting Spray die for the leaves. To get the strawberries to look like strawberries, you just need to do a little cutting and folding. Hers are held together with ribbon. Isn't this a fabulous idea for a summer project? It would look amazing as a place setting at a party. It would also be a fun activity for a craft night! I love the way the strawberries look held in the Berry Container die. Check out Tiffany's blog for more inspiration.
