Can you believe that is the middle of February already? Happy belated Family Day and Valentines Day!!! And there is only a few more weeks of Sale A Bration left. Where has the time gone???? So, I am done with winter, I just want spring to come and other than flowers, strawberries make me think of the spring!!! This Sweet Strawberry bundle is so yummy and has made me so happy!
It also coordinates with a FREE Level 2 bundle in Sale A Bration that has the Berry Blessings stamp set and Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper. The bundle is Free with a $120 order (before taxes and shipping). Here is a photo of the bundle
So I used a technique called Joseph's Coat to make this cute cheery card!! To see the technique, make sure you watch my video from my Valentines Day post (https://stampingjen.blogspot.com/2021/02/happy-valentines-day-always-in-my-heart.html). It walks you through how to do the technique. Essentially you cover a piece of Basic White cards stock with ink using blending brushes. For this card I used Poppy Parade, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green. Then you stamp in versmark and clear emboss. Then you cover the rest of the card with black ink. The clear emboss allows the sponged colour to resist the ink and you get an amazing background!!!
I stamped the strawberry bloom using memento ink and coloured with blends and cut out using scissors. And since we don't have a poppy parade twine, I used the white twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo pack and coloured with poppy parade blends.
The dimensions for this card are:
- Poppy Parade - card base 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4
- strip 4 X 3/4" run through embossing machine with Tasteful Textile embossing folder (actually I meant to use this one, but mistakingly grabbed a retired one...:()
- piece large enough for die cut using Stitched so sweetly
- Granny Apple Green - 5 3/8 X 4 1/8"
- Basic White - 5 1/4 X 4 (two pieces) one for stamping front and one for inside
- scrap large enough to stamp and die cut the sentiment and the berry blooms
