Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by today to see my latest project.
I have the first of two cards that I made for a colour challenge – I’ll share the second card tomorrow.
The colours for this challenge remind me so much of the Handmaids’ Tale.
For the first card, I decided to use Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set.
I started by stamping the strawberry plant stamp, in Tuxedo Black Memento, onto the Basic White card base. After using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the piece of Basic Black cardstock, I then wrapped and secured two lengths of Black & White Gingham Ribbon around it. One of the ribbons was coloured using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend. Then I attached it a layer of the Be Dazzling 6″x 6″ Specialty Paper. This paper is one that is available during Sale-a-bration, with a qualifying order.
Using lots of Black Stampin’ Dimensionals, these layers were then positioned on the card front.
The strawberries were stamped and fussy cut. The Be Dazzling strawberry calyces were punched using the Strawberry Builder Punch. I used Mini Glue Dots to secure them to each of the strawberries. After attaching the strawberries to the card front, I stamped and cut the greeting to add to the card.
The challenge gave me the perfect reason to choose an ‘older’ stamp set to use. It also meant that I used Cherry Cobbler ink and cardstock both of which have been collecting dust for a while.
What do you think of my dazzling strawberries?
Until tomorrow’s post, happy stamping.

Because some of the products I have used to make this card are not yet available to customers, I am not able to show them at this time. As soon as product images go live, I will create this section.
