A Berry Simple Thank You!

Today’s card is a sneak peek at the NEW Sweet Strawberry stamp set featured in the JJ2021 mini catalog and the Berry Blessings stamp set featured in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. Berry Blessings. The Berry Delight Designer Series paper pack and the Berry Blessing set is FREE with a $100 purchase beginning on January 5, 2021.

I created this card for my daughters totally “sweet” roommate to thank her for some delicious homemade granola. It is always a blessing with your children have great friends!

• Begin with a Pacific Point card base 5½ x 8½”. Score in landscape position at 4¼”.
• Cut a 2 x 5½” strip of the Berry Delightful Designer Series Pack and cut again at 1½”.  You should have a 1½” and a ½” strip.
• Flip the ½” strip to coordinate with the larger strip and adhere across the center of the card.
• Using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Layering circle dies, cut a scallop circle from Night of Navy cardstock and a plain circle from White cardstock. Adhere the white circle to the Night of Navy.
• Using the Sweet Strawberry bundle stamp the strawberry in Real Red, the outline of the strawberry and the leaves in Memento Black and the solid leaves in Granny Apple Green and punch out using the Strawberry Builder Punch.
• TIP: I made a template for the Strawberry Builder Punch and placed the template in my Stamparatus. Then I matched up the desired images using the template. Once I had my stamps aligned with the template, I used a piece of white cardstock to punch out all images. Then one at at time I placed my punched images back into the template and stamped with the desired color. I found this method easier and quicker the traditional stamp and punch. Another advantage to stamping this way is that you waste less cardstock every time you punch.
• Layer the strawberries and leaves on the white circle and the circles onto the strip of designer series paper.
• Stamp the Thank You sentiment in either Night of Navy or Memento Black ink.

• For the inside add a 4 x 5 ½” layer of white cardstock and stamp the sentiment in Pacific Point ink. 
• Using the berries from the Berry Blessings set, stamp the outline in Memento Black and the solid in Pacific Point ink.  

This was a very easy thank you card that took no time at all. I love the way these two sets pair perfectly together. The Sweet Strawberry set will be available for purchase beginning January 5th.
