First, prepare your card base with the Shaded Spruce cardstock. Cut a strip of 3″ x 5 1/2″ paper from the Berry Blessings Designer Paper Pack. Adhere to card base. Next, using Poppy Parade cardstock and Whisper White cardstock, cut out circles using the Stitched Shapes dies. Stamp the white cardstock with the stem and leaves stamp from the Stampin Up Sweet Strawberry stamp set using Old Olive ink. Layer and adhere Poppy Parade circle and Whisper White circle to card.

Next, we will build the strawberries. Let’s talk about a trick to line up stamps for quick and easy punching!

Punch Trick

If you haven’t already learned this trick, it’ll be a game changer for you! First, reach for a scrap piece of cardstock. Using the Strawberry Builder punch, punch the scrap cardstock. This will be your template for lining up the stamps.

Next, reach for the Stampin Up Sweet Strawberry stamp set. Line up the outline stamps for the strawberry, both leaves, and flower over top of the appropriate holes in the cardstock you just punched. Next, lay a block down over top to mount the stamps to the block. If you’d like to see exactly how I did this, click here!

Once your stamps are mounted on the block, you are now free to stamp as many sets as you need. When you’re done stamping, reach for the Sweet Strawberry punch again. You’re now able to line up the stamped strawberry and leaves perfectly with the punch.

After your strawberries and leaves are punched, adhere them to the white cardstock. I used a dimensional to bring the front strawberry out a little. Next, add your greeting to the front. To finish off the project, I used some gems for a little added pizzazz! Ta-Da!

I just love this new Stampin Up Sweet Strawberry bundle. I love the bright and vibrant colors of the designer paper and the sweet little greetings included in the stamp set. Be sure to keep an eye out for this bundle when the new catalog comes out! Enjoy!
