Sweetest Cherries

 

I love this cute new bundle from Stampin' Up! called Sweetest Cherries. Cherries are a favorite, it's my go to pie if I'm choosing a pie for a picnic or BBQ, or on Summer Vacation in Door County and I find myself at Aunt Bea's , Yum!  I also always love a stamp set with a punch, so I grabbed this bundle up right away when I placed my first order from the new Annual Catalog. 

I used a bunch of new products on this card, besides just the Sweetest Cherries bundle. I used 4 of the 5 new In Colors! The new collection of colors is so bright and cheery! I know I will use these a lot!  For this card I used Sweet Sorbet for the cherries, Parakeet Party for the leaves, Tahitian Tide for the 'birthday wishes' and Starry Sky cardstock for the "Sweet".  I felt bad leaving Orchid Oasis out of the card, but I thought that would be going a bit overboard. I will use it very soon I am sure! 

I also used some new 2022-2024 6x6 In Color Designer Series Paper for the plaid strip at the top, and some 2022-2024 In Color Bakers Twine pack for the bow behind the sentiment.  

To give my card a bit of a picnic feel, I stamped the cross-hatch image across the bottom of the card to act as a basket look. I also added the Basic Borders dies to the edge of my Basic White piece to give a look of a basket liner or linen napkin. 

I really wish there was some cherry pie in the house!

Uniquely Artistic Sympathy Card

 

I needed a sympathy card this week and wanted something with a pretty but soft look. I had the Uniquely Artistic stamp set on my desk and really liked the look of that long leaf branch. I choose some colors that I think are very pale and yet also very fresh looking. I used Soft Sea Foam, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. 

In keeping with the Soft theme, I used Blending brushes with the Emboss Resist technique for the branch.  To do this technique you need to emboss your image with either white or clear embossing powder, I used clear, and then sponge or brush over the embossed image with ink. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the flower I stamped in Pale Papaya ink and used a cotton swab (q-tip) to apply Polished Pink to the center before stamping onto the basic white cardstock. 

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray on Pale Papaya Cardstock with a White Crinkled Seam-biding Ribbon bow tucked in behind.

I used Iridescent Rhinestones to add some sparkle.

Windmill treat holders

 These Windmill treat holders remind me of my Great-Aunt Jean, who always had these in a cookie jar on her kitchen counter when my sister and I visited. Warm memories! 

I made these treats for Stamp Camp with the Windmill dies from Stampin' Up! The box is super easy and windmill even spins! 

The Windmill dies are in the January to June mini catalog, as is the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper used here.

See full how to for this projects, as well as tips on sizing the box to work with any treats you may be making, in my YouTube video.
