When I first saw the Sweet Strawberry bundle during On Stage at Home last November, I knew it was a set I would have to have. Well, when I received my January – June 2021 Mini Catalog it was a must order, but then to my even greater surprise the Sale-A-Bration catalog contained another stamp set and a package of Designer Series Paper that were prefect to use with it. The Berry Blessings Stamp Set + Berry Delight Designer Series Paper Pack are free with a qualifying $100 purchase during January and February. So, it stood to reason that since I loved the bundle and the free bundle, I would have to design a card for my customers as a make and take during my open house where I am previewing the new catalogs with them.
Here is what I came up with…
I wish the sparkle on the berries from the Wink of
Stella Glitter Brush would show up in photos but no matter how hard I try I
just can’t capture it (too bad since it is such a nice shimmer). So here is how the card was made.
The card base is Basic White cardstock that is cut 5 ½
x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I cut a piece of
Flirty Flamingo that measured 2 ½ x 5 ½” and then I embossed it using one of
the Greenery Embossing Folders. I added
a piece of the Designer Series Paper that was free with my $100 purchase to the
front that measured 3 x 4”. Before
adhering it to the card I wrapped a piece of Just Jade ribbon around it and
tied a square knot. Next, I stamped my
greeting from the Sweet Strawberry bundle onto Basic White cardstock using
Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and I die cut it out using the little label die from Potted
Succulents Dies (you could use any label die or punch you have on hand). I also cut the larger label from the set out
of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and layered them. I popped this sentiment up on dimensionals in
the upper right corner of my card.
I moved onto my strawberries at this point. I stamped three berries, three berry toppers
and two leaves from the stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and
used the coordinating punch to punch them out.
I colored the berries with Real Red and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends
and the leaves were colored with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (love these
markers). I did use my bonefolder to
shape my strawberries and my leaves a little to give them a little more
dimension. Then I added the berries to
the bottom left using dimensionals. I
adhered the leaves tucked in behind my strawberries right onto the card.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making
it. As always you can find the supplies
