Hello There Sweet Strawberry!

Hello there! Happy Thursday!

Today’s post is about stamps, ink and patterned paper. I enjoy creating cards with patterned paper and I think most of you do, as well. The first Sale-A-Braion of 2021 is ending on Sunday. I’m taking this opportunity to share as much of the beautiful Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration as possible.

I designed this card with a pattern from the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper. This patterned paper is a simple, casual and fun plaid in Poppy Parade and Basic White. I chose Pacific Point as an accent color. The Corals and Blues mix well together and give this design a little interest.

On a Basic White A-2 top fold card base, I added layers of Poppy Parade cardstock and patterned paper.
I die cut a stitched rectangle from Basic White cardstock.
This is the layer for your sentiment and flower cluster.
The fussy cut, Soft Suede stamped flower cluster is from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set.
The stamped flowers are covered with punched flowers from the patterned paper using the Strawberry Builder Punch. This punch perfectly cuts the flowers. I attached the punched flowers over the stamped flowers with Mini Dimensionals.
The sentiment, from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set, is stamped with Pacific Point ink.

Here’s a tip for you:

I colored the white Baker’s Twine bow with the Light Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend.
Unravel your anticipated amount of White Baker’s Twine onto a plain sheet of copy paper or any other scrap paper you have on hand.
Hold one end of the twine and lightly run the brush tip of the Blend over the twine slightly rolling the twine back and forth.
You’ll get the feel of the ink application. Once you do, your coloring will be quick.
Continue shading the twine until you have your desired shade.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card.

So, find a casual piece of patterned paper, add it to a few layers, attach a stitched rectangle, color some Baker’s Twine and create a Sweet Strawberry hello!

…the only limitation is your imagination!
