Berry Delightful Strawberry Card

When I saw this particular strawberry paper in the package, I just fell in love and had to make this Berry Delightful Strawberry Card. It just seems to have a lovely watercolored look to it.

This card is made with a Poppy Parade Cardstock base, with just a layer of the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper. If you want something to brighten up these winter days, this paper is it! I also love the other side of this paper, as seen in this card I made for Valentine’s Day.

I used the Just Jade Gingham ribbon in the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the designer paper before adhering to the card base. The greeting is stamped in Poppy Parade ink from the Berry Blessings Stamp Set and die cut with a scalloped rectangle in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Since the strawberries on this paper are so pretty I cut one out with Paper Snips and popped it up on the corner of the greeting. Then I tied a little knot with the gingham ribbon. Very easy card and the paper makes it!

Die-cut Hearts For a Valentine

Die-cut Hearts For a Valentine

It’s time for making, sending, giving Valentines like this Die-cut Hearts For a Valentine card. I am so happy about this background designer paper on this card! This year we do not have a whole package of “Valentine” paper to use so I looked to see what I could maybe use. You can use this card for other times, not just Valentine’s Day.

Other years at Stampin’ Up! we have maybe had “Valentine” paper that had assorted hearts or a lot of red and white patterns. It wouldn’t HAVE to be for Valentine’s Day but it suggested it. So I looked through my packages of current designer paper and I found this red and white plaid paper in the Sale-A-Bration Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper in the Berry Blessings Bundle! It’s on the opposite side of a beautiful, soft-colored strawberry images. I wouldn’t have even thought to tell you this was a pattern in this package of designer paper, but when I found it, was thrilled to use it on my valentine card! It’s just a different look!

The coordinating color is Poppy Parade so I used that cardstock as a card base with this plaid paper as a layer. I stamped the center heart with Poppy Parade Ink from the Lots of Heart Stamp Set in the Spring Mini. It is just stamped on Basic White and then die cut with one of the Many Hearts Dies. If you want both the stamp set and dies, then get the Lots of Heart Bundle and save 10%! I also die-cut the “fancy” heart from the Many Hearts Dies and layered them. Then the hearts are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, in the same stamp set, is stamped in Poppy Parade Ink and punched with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. I just adhered it flat on the card so I could add an embellishment that would not stick up too high for mailing. I wanted to use the Resin Hearts Embellishments, but the colors were white (which wouldn’t show up very well) or red (which might be okay but the rest of the card is Poppy Parade). I decided to try coloring the white hearts Poppy Parade with the Poppy Parade Dark Stampin’ Blends. It worked! I went over it a couple of times and around the sides a little bit. So the next time you want something to be a different color, try coloring with Stampin’ Blends!

Overall, this was an easy card to make for Valentine’s Day because it has hearts or any time because the greeting isn’t just for Valentine’s Day! Hearts can be for any time, also! And I do love the little Resin Hearts!
