Sweet Strawberries Archives

Today I ‘ve been playing with the Pierced Bloom dies, haven’t had these out for a while and I had forgotten how pretty these flowers are. I have made a pretty, flowers in bloom card.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the flowers in bloom card, you will need:

Thick Basic White – 5⅞” by 5⅜” – scored at 4⅓” on the 5⅜” side
Pansy Petals dsp – 5⅞” by 4⅓”
Pansy Petals dsp – 5⅞” by 1¼”
Scrap Basic White, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade & Evening Evergreen

Using the Basic Borders dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I die cut the edge from the larger piece of Pansy Petals designer Series Paper (dsp). This makes such a cool card front.

I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape before adding the piece to the 1 ¼” card front flap with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the strip of the same Pansy Petals dsp to the inside of the card front. Love the dark green stripes against the Pale Papaya gingham.

Using the Pierced Bloom dies I cut a selection of flowers, flower centres and leaves from scrap card stock and spent a happy 15 mins putting together various combos before deciding on the look I wanted. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the flowers together and to attach then to the card front.

The sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink onto scrap Basic White card and cut it out using one of the Tasteful Labels dies and tucked it in under the flowers.

I completed the card by adding a trio of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels and a bow using the same ribbon.

I hope you like it.

Supplies used:

Welcome to the Stampers Showcase blog hop, our last one of 2020 and this month’s theme is ‘Sale-A-Bration’. I really, really wanted to use the gorgeous Berry Delightful dsp – can’t believe it is a free sale-a-Bration choice along with the co-ordinating stamp set Berry Blessings.

If you have hopped over from Wendy Lee Or you are starting with me, Mo Rootes I hope you will find lots of inspiration on this hop.

To recreate my strawberry lolly card, you will need:

Poppy Parade – 9½” by 4” scored at 4” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5¼” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3⅞ by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right corner
Berry Delightful dsp – 3¾” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Granny Apple Green – 3” by 3”
Whisper White 3” by 3”
Whisper White 5½” by 1” – scored at 1”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¼” by ¾”
Scrap Whisper White

The piece of Berry Delightful dsp reminded me of a picnic blanket my parents had when I was a child, summer days and strawberries…… I can’t wait….

I adhered the dsp to the square panel of Whisper White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the card front.
