More Sweet Strawberry Cards

I am enjoying playing around with this Sweet Strawberry bundle. The strawberries just stamp out so nicely! The two step stamp process makes the image so beautiful. The blending brushes also add such a soft touch of ink to the background. I softly blended Flirty Flamingo ink with the blending brush for the top card. I found that I really like the Watermelon Wonder ink for the body of the strawberry.

For this card I softly blended Bashful Blue ink with the blending brush for this card. The background vine is stamped in Smoky Slate. I love the sentiment from Philippians 4:13. Such a great reminder any time that I can do all things though Christ!

Sweet Strawberry Builder Bundle

Sometimes matching the punch to the stamped image can be tricky. This is an easy way to stamp all four images from the Sweet Strawberry set to align with the Strawberry Builder punch. This coordinating Sweet Strawberry bundle is available for purchase through June 2021. To purchase the stamps and punch: www.tracyhenry.stampinup.net Sweet Strawberry bundle 156214



Simple card just playing around with the set. I used the blending brush to add a little pink before I stamped the strawberries.


I ended up with a few more white flowers - I only wanted 3 but ended up with smudges at the end.

Darling Donkey CASE

Another card using this Darling Donkeys saleabration set. Their expressions never get old! I CASE'd this card from an Artisan post from Janneke Dijkstra - de Jong.  



I love the simplicity of the card and the soft blended color in the background.

Darling Donkey Z Fold Card

 I love this Darling Donkeys stamp set. Purchase $50.00 in any Stampin Up product to earn the set for free during Saleabration through Feb 28, 2021! The expression on the donkey's faces are just adorable!

I colored the donkeys with a combo of Copic markers and Stampin Blendabilities. 
The stitched rectangles on the front are from thestampsoflife.com. The black background paper is an old pad of patterned paper and I don't know the brand.


For the Z Fold, score your main cardbase at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". 
Cut the white background panels at 4" x 5 1/4", and two at 1 7/8" x 5 1/4". 
Cut the patterened paper (in this case black floral) at 4" x 3" and two at 1 7/8" x 3". Cut the embossed strips that lay over the patterened paper at 4" x 1 1/4" and two at 1 7/8" x 1 1/4".

For the two donkeys on the inside panel I used the squares from Stitched Framlits. 
For the front panel donkey I used rectangle dies from Stamps of Life.

Custom Color Your Paper


Have you ever wished you had a specific color of cardstock to match your project, but didn't have just the right color? Well today I wanted Flirty Flamingo cardstock, and did not have any...so I decided to make my own.

Using the blending brushes (I don't have the SU brand yet), I applied flirty flamingo on white cardstock; then embossed with the wrapped in texture EF. I was pretty happy with the result.

I also die cut 4 of the tags and glued together so they appeared more dimensional.
