Berry Sweet

Hello Friends

I was getting low on my Thank You cards so I decided to make a few with the adorable Strawberry Plant and Berry Phrases dies.  Plus strawberries are one of my favorite berries!!

Design steps:

1.  Use the die Strawberry Plant and cut it out in white.  Use red, green and yellow inks to color in the strawberry plant

2. Cut a black A2 card base, cut a piece of white card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and run it through an embossing folder, cut a piece of red polka dot DP 1 1/2 x 5 1/8 layer onto black card stock, cut one scallop square  from black checked DP and one slightly larger black scallop square to layer the checked piece onto

3.  Glue the white embossed piece to the black card base.  Next add the strip of red and black to the front slightly to the left as shown above

3.  Cut the Berry Sweet out of black using the Berry Phrase die.  Glue the phrase to the bottom right of the card as shown above.  Pop up the black scalloped square and then glue down the Strawberry Plant as shown below.  Your card is complete

Happily Ever After

Hi Friends,

I am making a card for a couple who are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary!  The bride carried Lillies of the Valley in her bouquet.  So I thought I would incorporate them into their card.  The stamp I am using is called Lilly of the Valley Flower and comes with a matching die.

Design Steps:

1.  Use an A2 white card base,  cut a blue piece of card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, cut polka dot DP 4 x 5 1/4, cut the checked DP 3 1/2 x 5

2.  Stamp your flower using Memento Black ink and color with copic markers.  Use the 3rd from the largest Pierced Retangle die and cut it out.  Use the 2nd from the largest Stitched Scalloped Rectange die and cut out a piece of the blue card stock.  Glue the flower image to the scalloped blue retangle as shown above

3.  Glue the polka dot DP to the solid blue card stock and then on top of the polka dot DP glue down the checked DP.  Cut a piece of ribbon and take the two ends and tie a square knot.  On the opposite side of the knot cut the ribbon in half.  Then tape it to the back of the card as shown above.  This trick makes the ribbon lay really flat

4.  Flip the card over and trim up the ribbon edges.  Glue this to the white card base

5.  Use dimension dots and pop up the flower just above the ribbon.  Stamp your sentiment and layer it onto blue card stock then add to the card.  Your card is complete
