Wishing you a Sweet Day!
This Sweet Strawberry bundle in the Jan-June 2021 mini catalog is adorable! When I opened the SALE-a-bration catalog and saw the beautiful coordinating Berry Blessings stamp set & Berry Delightful DSP that you can earn FREE I knew I had to have it! The papers alone (DSP) are absolutely stunning with their bright bold colors, beautiful prints and gorgeous patterns. The prints on one of the papers has the strawberries and the flowers sized just right so you can punch them out with the Strawberry Builder Punch. For this card, that's exactly what I did. I punched out the leaves and the flowers right from the paper. They are already colored beautifully (better than I could have done 😄)! The only stamping is on the sentiment in the circle!
A sweet message for a friend
Flowers with a tropical feel
Isn't this color combo fun! The colors in these papers are so beautiful, and by using the pink/yellow flowers it really gives it a tropical feel. I think of ocean breezes and the fragrance from tropical flowers everywhere!
We are still in the wonderful season of SALE-a-bration and I love sharing all the fabulous items you can earn through the end of February for FREE! Though they are only available for a limited time, you will have inspiration and materials to make a variety of cards. All you need is some cardstock and ink pads in a few of your favorite colors to go with the papers, an embellishment or two to add your personal touch and of course white cardstock and envelopes. Now you have everything you need to stamp, play and make someone's day!
I hope you can see how fun and easy these papers can make your cardmaking experience.

- Mini glue dots are my adhesive of choice when attaching small items. They are perfect for popping onto the back of each of the small flowers for easy placement.
- When DSP's are printed so you can use a punch on the various pieces, I recommend cutting out the items you want to punch. This way you are not punching into other designs on the paper so you will still have the rest of the paper intact for using the other designs.
- The Take Your Pick tool is a must have for easy pick-up and placement of rhinestones and small adhesive backed embellishments. There are multiple tips included that also give you a scoring tool and a tacky substance great for loose sequins and gems.
- Circles are an easy solution for your sentiment. You don't have to concern yourself with perfect alignment as it's a circle. Using a circle punch is a quick and easy way to add the sentiment or any other layer to your card.
