Today I am sharing a Teacher gift using Samantha's 3D Apple Basket Silhouette cut and Silhouette's new Chipboard!  I love the weight of the chipboard and how beautifully it cuts with my Silhouette machine!  It really adds such sturdiness to the boxes and bags and now they can hold SO MUCH more!  My basket today has four post-it note pads, a pack of pencils, and a gift card and it doesn't bend what so ever when I pick it up!  Love that.
