Berry Blessings Cut Apart Card

Oh my, this SAB Bundle, Berry Blessings, is GORGEOUS!! I haven't used Pacific Point this much in AGES!!  But, it is awesome with these blueberries! I saw this card and just had to make it!  I haven't done this Fun Fold in a LONG time!!


Measurements:  

  • Pacific Point: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Berry Delightful DSP (SAB): 3 pcs - 1 3/4" x 4" (blueberries)
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/8" x 3 1/8" Oval, 2 3/4" x 3" (blueberries)

To Make This Card:

  • Fold Pacific Point card in half. Then  cut away 1 7/8" two times.
  • Attach the Basic White piece to the inside of card.
  • Attach one piece of Blueberry DSP to top, front of card. Attach one piece of Blueberry DSP to one strip (you might need to trim 1/16"), then flip Blueberry DSP to expose the Pacific Point Diagonal DSP, and add that to the remaining Pacific Point strip.
  • Cut Stitched Oval from Basic White.
  • Stamp "stem" in Old Olive onto piece of Basic White.  Add Blueberries, and then add "detailed" Blueberries.  Fussy cut around this image. Adhere to Oval at a slight angle.
  • Lay Blueberry strip along bottom.  Even with bottom cut edge.  Lay Diagonal Strip piece over top and bottom strips, creating a "bridge".  Attach top and bottom to card front pieces.
  • Attach Oval to "bridge" with Dimensionals.
  • Finish by stamping a sentiment of your choice in the white opening, in Pacific Point ink.

Curvy Strawberries

So, we are going to play with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle this weekend at club!  So, I wanted to make some samples to inspire. We are NOT making this card, but I absolutely love the combination of the Curvy Dies, Strawberry Punch, and awesome SAB Berry Delightful paper!

Measurements:  

  • Shaded Spruce: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Berry Delightful DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4", strawyberry and leaves to punch
To Make This Card

  • Cut 1 "filigree" border from "top" of Basic White piece.  Note: Be sure to note that the cut edge is below the details. Then, cut the other curve from the remaining piece.  These are random cuts!
  • TIP: Now, lay these pieces on top of the Strawberry DSP.  Originally, the opening did not show off the neat "strawberries", but mostly "leaves".  So, you do not need the full piece of DSP anyway, so attach these white curvy pieces on top where you have the best "view" of DSP.  Then, trim your White pieces as necessary to 4" x 5 1/4" so it fits the front of the folded Shaded Spruce card..  Leaving room on the bottom section for the Words/Punched Strawberry.
  • Punch 1 Strawberry and 2 Leaves from DSP. Attach Strawberry, as shown, with a Dimensional. Add 2 leaves, flat, underneath.  I made sure one leaf was Shaded Spruce to tie in with the Shaded Spruce card..
  • Curve the sentiment onto your block, so it matches YOUR curve!  Stamp with Shaded Spruce Ink,
  • Attach this layer to folded card!
  • Finish with scattered Shaded Spruce Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones!! AND, a darling Ladybug Trinket!

 So, who has/kept the SAB set from 2017 HEY CHICK?? "It's baack"!!

BUT, check this out, it now has DIES, and so does HEY BIRTHDAY CHICK!! Too much fun! For so much fun!! These went on sale yesterday!! So, if you want to add to your Hey Chick stamps, and add the coordinating Bundle, here's your chance! Check the website for pricing and options!









Traditional Red Heart

If you like more of a "traditional" Valentine, here is a basic Red and White creation for you!  I love the clean and simple design, and clear red color! I would recommend using your Stamparatus for the sentiment placement. Only 2 colors...a plop and drop to be sure!

Measurements:  

  • Real Red: 1/4 sheet, 3 1/2" square, 2 pcs 1 1/8" x 4"
  • Basic White: 5 1/4" x 8 1/8", 3" square, 7/8" x 4"
To Make This Card

  • Attach folded Basic White card to Real Red base.
  • Cut "scallop heart" from Real Red square and cut "rope of hearts" from one of the Real Red strips.
  • Stamp "scroll heart" image in Real Red ink onto Basic White square.  Cut out with coordinating heart (Note: make sure it's not the double heart!)  Attach this to the Real Red scallop heart with Dimensionals.
  • Attach "rope of hearts" to Basic White strip. Again, I would recommend the Multipurpose Glue with a sponge, on the Silicone Mat. Attach to other Real Red strip.  Trim, if necessary. Attach to lower edge of card. 
  • Stamp sentiment with Black Memento ink.  To get the best placement, I used my Stamparatus!  (I need to use this more often!)
  • Finish by attaching "scallop heart" to card.
