Sunday Fun Day: Sweet Strawberry sneak peek birthday card

Hello and Happy New Year!!! We have decided to mix things up over on the Sisters in Stamping blog, and will now be sharing Sunday Fun Day projects with you each week. We have had a lot of fun with our Fabulous Friday posts over the last 11 years, and will now be sharing our projects on Sundays going forward. I hope you'll be sure to check them out each week!

Our very first Sunday Fun Day theme is to share our favorite products from the upcoming 2021 January-June which will be debuting on Tuesday, January 5th. I chose to focus on the Sweet Strawberry bundle, which includes a great stamp set and coordinating builder punch. In addition, there is a DSP/stamp set bundle (it is a Sale-a-Bration free product selection with a qualifying $100 purchase) that coordinates beautifully. I used one of the fun patterns for the background of my card. My Mom turned 81 yesterday and this was her birthday card.

My birthday is in the spring, and my Mom always made me a strawberry shortcake because strawberries are in season in May... so this stamp set, punch and DSP just take me to a happy place from my childhood. I love the colors of the DSP and used them as a guide for the cardstock and inks that I used: granny apple green, pacific point and poppy parade.

I used the Layering Ovals dies to cut out the scalloped oval piece from whisper white cardstock and stamped the sentiment first. Next I stamped the foliage image. On a separate piece of whisper white cardstock I stamped the strawberry (both the solid image and detail images were done using poppy parade ink) and cut out with my punch. I then stamped the solid leaves image with granny apple green ink and overstamped the detail using soft suede ink, then cut it out using the punch. I glued the leaves to the strawberry and then popped it up with a dimensional on the oval.

Here is one last view of my birthday card. For even more fun January-June spring catalog card ideas and insiration, please be sure to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.
