Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Sweet Strawberry Stamp set

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Crafty Challenge 

Blog hop, we our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators

from all over the globe sharing card making and papercraft 

ideas and inspiration using Stampin' Up! Products.

Your currently with me Laura Mackie a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

from the United Kingdom.

 This month we have this fun sketch to use as our 

starting point for our card,

Here is what I came up with using the 

Stampin' Up! Sweet Strawberry Stamp set.

Don't the Strawberries look good enough to eat??

The Stamp set I've used is called Sweet Strawberry and 

comes with a handy punch to punch out the strawberries, 

and leaves, I love a punch it makes it quick and easy

 to punch out the stamped images the punch 

punches out a Strawberry, the stalk, a little flower and leaf! 

I've used Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green Ink to 

stamp the strawberries and leaves, some of the smaller leaves

are coloured with my alcohol markers - Stampin' Blends also 

in Granny Apple Green to match the other stamped leaves.

I hope you like my take on the sketch using the 

Stampin' Up! Sweet Strawberry Stamps.
