It is always a delight to meet with friends to create beautiful cards. This month Lisa Christensen was our hostess and her cards were lovely. This first one uses the Stampin’ Up! ‘Berry Blessings’ stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! ‘Sweet Strawberry’ stamp set and punch.
. Oooh….can we look at it berry close?
Why sure, Sal!
My flowers were supposed to come off of the branch but the branch reminded me of all the little runners the strawberry plant puts out so I did it a bit different.
This set was available on Ebay if you missed it before it was retired by Stampin’ Up!:
The last cards I sent, I didn’t stamp a greeting on the inside so I could write a short letter. I enjoyed having more room for more words.
I do, Sal, and hopefully others like to read them!
Lisa’s second card was an interesting and beautiful Z fold easel card! We could stamp with Happy Birthday or Happy Mother’s Day or….
Lisa used a die from the ‘Hand Penned Petal’ set for the flower and a die from the ‘Delicate Lace Edgelits Dies’ for the bottom. The greeting is a Close To My Heart greeting.
It’s like an upside down easel card.
True, we usually have the stop at the bottom but how wonderfully unique is this?!
Fancy front and room to write on the back (with a cute little fox in the DSP).
Is that one of those double bows you make wrapping it around your fingers?
It is, Sal. Following is a link to the Facebook Live where I showed crafters how to make the bow. I like that both tails come out from the back. Drag the minute line at the bottom to 28:20 to see the instructions.
I assume you have all those sets from your 15 years as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator?!
No, Sal, and that is what makes shoebox events so fun. Everyone has different tastes and different sets for crafting.
Colorado’s Scrapbook Expo is happening next month, May 17 & 18th. Registration begins April 16 at 9:00 a.m.
Have a wonderful day!
SAL, See you At Lunch at the Expo on Friday
