Sweet Strawberries of Summer

 Greetings!

It's officially the first day of Summer so today's card is celebrating the season.  The Sweet Strawberry stamp set and Strawberry Builder Punch are a wonderful combination to make adorable quick and easy cards with.  The beautiful new Pattern Party HOST Designer Series Paper (DSP) has the perfect paper to compliment the colors of the strawberries.

This stamp set is a two-step stamp which means it has multiple stamps to complete the image.  One stamp is the image fill and is shaded to provide dimension.  The second stamp is an outline with some line detail, so the two stamps together create the complete image.  These stamps are made of photopolymer, which is clear, making it easy to line up the images.

Sweet & Summery

Look how adorable and realistic the strawberries are!  The best part is they are put together so quickly!  The Strawberry Builder Punch punches out the strawberry, the leaf, the stem, and also has a punch for a strawberry blossom.  Punches are so fantastic! Simply stamp the image, line it up in the punch, and voila'! Your card is now ready for assembly.  

Quick Tip: Cut cardstock into strips just a little wider than the piece to be punched.  This eliminates waste when there are multiple items in one punch.
