SWEET SALE-A-BRATIONS!!!!!

The sale you have all been waiting for is finally here and for every $50 you spend you earn a free stamp set and/or pack of paper. There are so many delicious stamps to choose from so let’s dive right in the the NEW Sweet Strawberry set and the totally awesome True Love Designer Series Paper!

I am in love with this black and white papers, so you will probably see it again……just sayin’! Order yours today so you can craft along with me. Don’t forget to apply the Host code if your order is less than $150.

On this card I also used the NEW Double Oval Punch which I think is going to be one of my go to punches. I love the cool ripple edging and how easily they layer together.

  • Begin with a Basic White card base 5½ x 8½”. Score in landscape position at 4¼”.
  • Using the NEW Sweet Strawberry Bundle stamp the strawberry outline in memento black in and punch out with the Strawberry Builder punch included with this bundle, repeat for a total of three strawberries.
  • Stamp the strawberry stem on Granny Apple Green cardstock three times, punch out and layer on top of the strawberries.
  • From the NEW True Love Designer Series Paper pack, cut the striped black and white pattern paper at 2 x 5½.  TIP: Be sure the stripes are going vertically when you cut the 5½” side.
  • Layer a piece of Basic Black cardstock ¾ x 5½” along the top of the True Love Designer Series paper.
    Next using the NEW Double Oval punch, punch the rippled edge from Real Red cardstock and the smooth oval from white.  Stamp the greeting on the white oval and layer on the red.
  • Place two Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the red oval and adhere to the Basic Black strip.
  • Arrange the three strawberries on the upper left of the card gluing two directly to the cardstock and use a Stampin’ Dimensional to pop up the third strawberry in the middle.
  • Add a Red Rhinestone gem to the greeting and randomly place two more gems on the card front.

Check out the matching Berry Blessing set and the Berry Delightful Designer Series paper pack that coordinates with this set. Ice Cream Bundle is another set that pairs well with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle. After all, who doesn’t like strawberries and ice cream right?

Well, to be honest I would rather have chocolate on my ice cream than strawberries, but you have to admit, these strawberries make a super sweet card.

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.
