Sweet Strawberry and Berry Blessings

2/20/2021

I can't get enough of the Sweet Strawberry bundle and the new Blending Brushes.

The new Blending Brushes are a fun and easy way to add a little color to your card. Simply blend starting in a corner and work your way up to add subtle color. It took me a few tries but I think I've got the hang of them. I recommend tapping off after adding ink and before applying to your paper.

I also love the look of white embossing on black paper.

The strawberry I punched from the Sale a Bration Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper. This is a Level 2 product and is probably my favorite from this years offerings.

I once again used Old Olive ink and the Blending Brushes but without adding red it changes the look. Simple but elegant!

Butterfly Brilliance

The upcoming early release of Butterfly Brilliance should not be missed! This suite is amazing. Featuring one big stamp with one big die to cut out all the butterflies it's one you are going to need.

Although the stamp set and dies will be featured in the upcoming annual catalog the Designer Series Paper can only be bought during the early release. Available starting March 2.

This card is easy to make when using your Stamparatus. Using the Stamparatus is helpful if any of the butterflies do not stamp fully on your first attempt. Simply ink them back up and try again!

I'm off to recreate the card in multiple colors!

Stampin’ Up! In Bloom

I originally overlooked this bundle in the Jan-June Mini Catalog. I have to admit I have a lot of flower sets already so my initial thought was "oh, I don't need another". Until I realized that the dies are all stitched! Now I can't get enough of it.

Each one has so much detail! Plus, when you pair it with the Paper Blooms Sale a Bration paper it gets that much better. This fun fold was one we did at my Bingo events last week.

It also offers some great sentiments in a pretty font.

Sweet Strawberry and Blending Brushes

I love the new blending brushes. With just a little practice and pressure you can add subtle color to your card. Mango Melody is such a pretty color!

The sentiment is from a retired stamp set but it was perfect for what I needed.

The vine from Sweet Strawberry was perfect to layer on top of the subtle color from the blending brush.

Twine is always my go to. I reach for it way more than ribbon and I don't know why! I just love it. It's not bulky and adds the right touch to so many cards.

A little coloring on this one using my Blends.

There are so many great dies with this bundle but I really enjoyed simply using stamps on this one.

Simple but bold! This is my kind of card.

Curvy Celebrations

If you don't have the right color ribbon for your project don't forget that you can color the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Ribbon with markers. Simply run the marker across the ribbon and it will soak up the color. In this instance, I used the light Poppy Parade Blend to create the shade I wanted.

I love the versatility of the Curvy Celebrations suite. Adding just a little color to the birds gives them a watercolor look. I CASEd this card from The Stamping Ninja.

Giftables Class featuring tins

I am so excited for this upcoming class where we will be making what I call "giftables". I've done these types of classes around the holidays for a few years. Gift card holders, candy holders, boxed sets of cards and even a magnetic frame one year.

My favorite part of this project would be the leaves. The stitching on these beautiful dies is gorgeous. It's actually quite easy to put together. The color inspiration came from Hershey kisses I found wrapped in this color palette!

Adding a quick tag finishes off the project.

The Plush Poinsettia Paper is the perfect touch to this project. You can see the flocked designs in this photo. There are even parts of the paper that can be die cut with the Poinsettia Dies. I layered Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper underneath, created a quick tag and tied it off with All the Trimmings ribbon.
