Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! Another super busy week; last week too. I thought for this week's card, I would create a card using a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches (#FMS496) and my favorite stamp set, Sweet Strawberry.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Pacific Point cardstock. The strawberries, flowers and leaves are stamped in Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point on Basic White Cardstock strips cut 1 1/2" x 4 3/4", 1 1/2" x 3 1/8" and 1 1/2" x 1 1/4". 

I added the Granny Apple Green Cardstock strip cut 1 1/4" x 4 7/8" to break up all the blue. Super cute.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity.  I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Handmade Spring Card Featuring Punch Art Techniques

Hello, my crafty friends. Since it is spring, and Easter is right around the corner, it is time for a break from the string of birthday cards. I will still use the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set for the sentiment. I am in love with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder so I want to use that on my card. I am going to use the Well Written Dies for a super cute blue bird. Check this out.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Pacific Point cardstock. The first layer is the Brights DSP in Pacific Point cut 4" x 5 1/4". The second layer build begins with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock cut 3 3/4" x 5" and the bottom is covered with a 1 1/2" strip of Soft Suede cardstock embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D EF. The top ledge of the wall is a 3/4" strip of Basic White just a tad longer than 3 3/4" to extend over the edge on both sides. The sentiment is stamped in Pacific Point.

The bunny ears were created using the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch - super cute. The tall, leafy plants are from the Well Written Dies in Just Jade and a Small Bloom Punch flower in Daffodil Delight tucked right behind the wall. (The flower stamp is from the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set/Bundle in the Jan-June Mini). The sun is created using the 1 1/2" Circle Punch and the sun's rays are made from a tiny star in the Stitched Stars Dies.

This was a fun card to make. I hope my project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.
