I just love red and black together and this Sweet Strawberry Bundle is perfect to showcase these colors. I do like strawberries, but have to admit they are not my go to fruit. However, this is certainly my go to set and I love the sweet little flowers too!
Did you know that crafting is also educational? It’s true, I learned today that the top green leafy part of the strawberry is actually called the calyx. Yup, not the green leafy thing on top of the berry, but the calyx. Who knew!
You will find this sweet bundle in the JJ2021 Spring mini and remember, it is Sale-A-Bration time, so whenever you spend $50, you earn a FREE product. If you spend $100, then you will earn the Berry Blessings Bundle!
Berry Blessings Bundle
The Sweet Strawberry Bundle featured in my card below is a perfect companion for Berry Blessings. Don’t you just love how Stampin’ Up! coordinates everything for us. It makes creating cards so easy an fun!
Begin with a Basic White card base 5 ½ x 8 ½. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
Add a 4 x 5 ¼” layer of Real Red to the card front.
Using the Stamparatus and the Buffalo Check Background stamp, stamp in Memento ink on a piece of Basic white and then cut the image to 3 7/8 x 2 ½”. Layer this on the left side of the Real Red panel.
Next, with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine, cut the largest smooth oval from the Laying Oval dies from Basic Black cardstock. Cut the next oval size smaller from Basic White cardstock and layer together.
Stamp the outline of the strawberry, leaves, calyx and the flower in Memento Black ink. Then stamp the strawberries in Real Red ink, the leaves and the calyx in Granny Apple Green and leave the flower white. I added a bit of yellow to the center using one of the Stampin’ Write markers.
After stamping all the images, punch out using the Strawberry Builder punch and layer onto the Black and White oval.
To finish the card simply add a sentiment and a little bling. I used the hello there stamp from the bundle and punched it out using the New Double Oval Punch.
I left my inside blank, but you could certainly add a strawberry or even a few of those sweet little flowers.
Birthday can be so fun, even when you are getting older and especially if you are celebrating with ice cream! I don’t eat ice cream very often, but when I do it usually has come kind of chocolate in it.
Fun fact: When I was 16 years old I worked at Bresler’s Ice Cream shop. It was very similar to a Baskin Robins and was located inside the mall, which was perfect for any teenager. The best part about working there was always being busy, too busy to gain any weight from eating ice cream. That may not be the case these days! LOL
So today’s card was inspired by a Sketch Challenge from one of my Stampin’ Up! uplines Mary Fish. I used the New Sweet Ice Cream bundle in the JJ2021 Spring mini catalog.
It is part of the Ice Cream Corner Suite Collection. A suite collection is a variety of related items that Stampin’ Up! coordinates for you, making it even easier to create beautiful things! The Suite collection is only $56 and entitles you to a FREE Sale-A-Bration set, but hurry Sale-a-Bration ends at the end of February!
Begin with a Basic White card base 5 ½ x 8 ½. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
Cut another layer of white that measures 4 x 5 ¼” and using the sketch challenge below ½” strips of cardstock to create the diagonal design. I used Rococo Rose, Highland Heather and Seaside Spray.
Using a few pieces of scrap basic white cardstock, I stamped and punched out the ice cream cone, adding the waffle texture with Early Espresso ink.
I stamped the Happy Birthday and You’re so Cool sentiment in Memento Black ink.
Finally I added some of those sweet Pastel Pearls from the Hydrangea Hill Suite Collection in the JJ2021 Spring catalog.
Here is Mary’s sketch challenge! Maybe it will inspire you to create a card and if you do of’ course I would love to see it. Feel free to email it to me or share it with me on my Facebook page, #SketchChallenge#12! Thanks Mary!
I also decorated the inside of my card with a few sweet ice cream cones. The cones are stamped in Cinnamon Cider directly to the inside cards. The Rococo Rose ice cream is also stamped direct to paper, but the Gorgeous Grape is stamped and punched out with the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch that is part of the bundle.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento black ink and the sprinkles in Cinnamon Cider.
I hope you will stop back tomorrow for some more sweet cards ideas and be sure to mark your calendars for this Wednesday January 20th, because it is time for the Inking Royal Blog Hop and we have some very fun project ideas for you!
There are few things that I like better than free stamps and right now during our Sale-A-Bration event free stamps is the name of the game.
One of my favorite items in the SAB (short for Sale-A-Bration) catalog is the Berry Blessings stamp set and the Berry Delightful Designers Series Paper pack, which can be yours FREE when you make a $100 purchase.
The Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper pack really is delightful and the hints of water-coloring scattered throughout the patterns and the variety of berries is so welcoming that it is sure to be a spring favorite.
My card today was created with the Pacific Blue Plaid and the berries from the reverse side. It truly was an quick and easy card.
Begin with a Pacific Point card base 4 ¼ x 11. Score in landscape position at 5½”
On a 4 x 5¼” piece of white cardstock, stamp the outline of the leaves and blueberries from the NEW Berry Blessings stamp set in memento black ink on the upper portion of the cardstock.
Cut a 3 x 4” piece of the blue plaid paper from the Delightful Berry Designer Series paper pack and then cut off ½”, flip it over to reveal the coordinating side.
Layer the larger plaid piece on the bottom of the white cardstock and then adhere the ½” coordinating piece on the top edge of the plaid. Attach this layer to the Pacific Point card base.
Using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine cut the largest circle from the Stitched Shape Dies with white cardstock and stamp the greeting on the lower middle of the circle.
Stamp a leave and some berries on the circle and then cut out the largest circle from the Layering Oval Dies in Pacific Point cardstock. Layer the two together.
Using some Stampin’ Dimensionals attach the circle to the card front
Next cut the largest circle from the Layering Oval Dies in Pacific Point cardstock.
For the inside cut a 4 x 5 ¼” layer of White cardstock and stamp a leaf and some berries using the same supplies as the card front.
Stamp the greeting in Memento black ink and your creation is complete!
