UP TO ANOTHER CHALLENGE

Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by today to see my latest project.

I have the first of two cards that I made for a colour challenge – I’ll share the second card tomorrow.

The colours for this challenge remind me so much of the Handmaids’ Tale.

May be an image of text that says '#104 COLOU Vnk IENGES COLO SPIRATION Basic White 第 Cherry Cobbler 城 館 Basic Black'

For the first card, I decided to use Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set.

I started by stamping the strawberry plant stamp, in Tuxedo Black Memento, onto the Basic White card base. After using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the piece of Basic Black cardstock, I then wrapped and secured two lengths of Black & White Gingham Ribbon around it. One of the ribbons was coloured using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend. Then I attached it a layer of the Be Dazzling 6″x 6″ Specialty Paper. This paper is one that is available during Sale-a-bration, with a qualifying order.

Using lots of Black Stampin’ Dimensionals, these layers were then positioned on the card front.

The strawberries were stamped and fussy cut. The Be Dazzling strawberry calyces were punched using the Strawberry Builder Punch. I used Mini Glue Dots to secure them to each of the strawberries. After attaching the strawberries to the card front, I stamped and cut the greeting to add to the card.

The challenge gave me the perfect reason to choose an ‘older’ stamp set to use. It also meant that I used Cherry Cobbler ink and cardstock both of which have been collecting dust for a while.

What do you think of my dazzling strawberries?

Until tomorrow’s post, happy stamping.

STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE

Hello and thanks for popping by. I have a very sweet treat to share with you today.

Today’s project was inspired by a block of chocolate I found when I was shopping the other day.

I was drawn to the colour of the chocolate – rich pink with a black and gold label. I knew that I could make a great gift box to pop it inside and give as a gift. The Kokopod chocolate is made in Queensland and is made with strawberry dust blended into white chocolate. There’s also some strawberry dust sprinkled on the front of the block.

I knew that I would use a piece of the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper to make the gift box. The birthday greeting, from the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set, on the label was heat embossed in gold. The label was cut using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. I made the strawberry in the same way before punching it out using the Strawberry Builder Punch. The label had Stampin’ Dimensionals positioned on the bottom half of the back so that the flap could fit under the top half.

I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners of the flap. To finish off the label I added some gold Metallic Pearls.

Who would give this sweet treat to? Who, do you know, would like a strawberry milkshake chocolate?

Happy stamping.
