Sweet Strawberry from Stampin’ Up!

Sweet Strawberry from Stampin’ Up! is todays offering, in the shape of this bright and cheery card.

And somebody please save me, from constantly using the Alcohol Blends. It seems I am on a right colouring path recently.

Let’s check out this Sweet Strawberry from Stampin’ Up! project :

Aren’t those strawberries looking good enough to eat? Red is my favourite colour, so I chose to work with the strawberry red with yellow pips paper that comes FREE in the Berry Blessing Bundle . You can read more about earning free product with a purchase this month, here.

Colours Used and How To :

• The Card base colour is Real Red, and it’s a UK standard size
• The Red designer paper layer measures 9cm x 14cm
• The scalloped shape, green designer paper square was cut with the largest scallop die from the Layering Square Dies.
• Then a Basic White square layer measuring 7cm x 7cm was adhered on top the scalloped layer.
• To create those yummy strawberries, first they wee stamped in real red ink on Basic White card then cut out with the matching dies. I went ahead and coloured them using the following blends, Flirty Flamingo, Real Red and Cherry Cobbler. Note how I coloured the whole of the strawberry with the red blends leaving no white border. This trick really elevated the look of my strawbs.
• Next I stamped the leaves and blossoms in Memento Ink on Basic White. Coloured them using Granny Apple Green and a touch of Flirty Flamingo Pink. Then they were fussy cut out. If you look careful you will noticed that I have used my Pool Party Light Blend marker to colour around the branch and the leaves.
• To create the scalloped border along the edge of the card you will have to cut one more scalloped square of designer paper. I am showing you how to cut it effectively so that you can recreate it yourself in the next image below.

As you can see I cut a border from either side of the square then adhered them to the edge of my layer to create a scalloped edge.

And here’s a look at the closer details :

Can you see the wonderful tendrils? I love them, and I love how they offer so much detail to this sweet project. You can create this look yourself, using a green marker to colour some linen thread in. Do this before you are tying into a bow and curling the ends around a pencil while the thread is still wet. This little detail has made such a big difference to my finished project. Special looking cards are all about those subtle details that elevate your projects.
