Today’s card uses the beautiful Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Fruit Basket. It was inspired by a card sketch from my team leader, Dawn Griffith. She gives us a sketch and measurements and then we can create a card exactly like the card sketch or change it up a bit. Sometimes the sketches are really difficult for me but other times, like with this sketch, I can quickly create a card I love.
I did change the measurements up just a bit and you can find them below.
Berry Burst
11″ x 4-1/4″ Score at 5-1/2″
1″ x 4-1/2″
(4) 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
scrap for scalloped oval
Basic Black: 4″ x 5-1/4″ scrap for scalloped oval
Whisper White: 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ scrap for sentiment
Petal Passion Designer Series Paper: 3/4″ x 4-1/4″ (4) 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″
After gluing Designer Series Paper to each square, add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
Attach the Berry Burst scallop to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use the Banner Triple punch to easily create the two banners.
Use the Layering Ovals Framelits to create a Berry Burst and Basic Black scalloped oval and the Stitched Shapes Framelits for the sentiment.
Add several Glitter Enamel Shapes for some extra sparkle!
Because of the added dimension to the card, if you decide to send it, it will cost more in postage but I think it makes a big difference in the overall look of the card.

Today’s card is quick & easy and the star is the Tutti Frutti 6″ x 6″Designer Series Paper. Each package of paper comes with 48 sheets with 4 each of 12 double sided designs. Every time I look at this paper I get more excited for summertime fruit!
I used the stamp set Fruit Basketfor the sentiment and cut it out with the Classic Label Punch. After punching it out, I cut one end off, added our Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it at the edge of the Tutti Frutti paper. A Brights Enamel Shape in red, finished off the card.
Bermuda Bay: 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″
Whisper White: 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ scrap for sentiment
Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper: 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
Here’s another version of the card using the opposite side of the watermelon paper. This time, after punching out the sentiment, I didn’t cut an end off and instead put an enamel shape on both ends.

Today’s card is a Joy Fold card and I have a video too! This card is fun because it opens differently than a regular card.
The ribbon helps the card stay closed but it also adds a bit of sparkle! I used Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and the sentiments are from the stamp set Lovely Inside and Out. I used my Stamparatus to line up the word “friend” on my paper. The Stamparatus is the new Stampin’ Up! positioning tool, due out in June, unless you were one of the lucky ones and preordered it last year. I love mine!

To create today’s card I performed surgery once again! Surgery on my rubber stamp that is and let me tell you, it can be pretty scary but it feels great conquering a fear, even if it’s just with a rubber stamp! I cut apart one of my stamps and honestly, the words were all so close together that I didn’t think I was going to be able to trim it and be happy with it, but I decided to just go for it. I’m so happy I did!
I have quite a few stamps that I really like but they say more than I really want. I love a good set with lots of different fonts saying thank you but I usually just want the words, thank you. I used a sentiment from All Things Thanks that said, thank you for welcoming our newest arrival. I have never used it as is, but it’s certainly a sentiment that I like having. Now that it’s been separated, I just added more value to the set! (more…)
