I’m so happy that the Strawberry Builder Punch is back in stock. The Sweet Strawberry stamp set and coordinating punch are currently two of my very favorite products!
Just recently I’ve had a couple people ask for directions for the note card sets I shared years back made from a sheet of 12×12 double-sided designer paper. (You can find past sets shared on my blog on April 20, 2013, May 5, 2016, and May24, 2016.) So I was inspired to recreate this project using current products and knew that it would be perfect with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle. The sentiment images are varied but perfect for a set of cards and the images appeal to so many. I paired it with a sheet from the Pattern Party Designer Paper and put together this holder and set of cards.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
- Basic White Cardstock
- four note cards and coordinating envelopes (note cards are 5″ x 7″ scored parallel to short side at 3-1/2″ and folded in half)
- 3-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ scored parallel to short side 2″ in on each end.
- Scraps for stamping and punching strawberries, stems, and flowers
- Pattern Party Designer Paper
- 7-1/2″ x 12″ (folded and assembled into the holder according to the directions in my 2016 how-to video (starting around the 9 minute mark).
- two pieces that are 2-1/4″ x 5″
- two pieces that are 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″
- Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
- two pieces that are 14″ each for the horizontal cards
- two pieces that are 11″ each for the vertical cards
- one piece that is 12″ each for the cover
Directions
- Apply the directions in my 2016 how-to video (starting around the 9 minute mark) for cutting the designer paper and making the base of the cards and the holder.
- Then stamp and punch the strawberries, stems and flowers. To get the lighter colors inside the stems and strawberries, stamp with “second generation” ink (ink up the stamp, stamp onto scrap paper, and then without re-inking stamping into the strawberry or stem outline).
- Add the ribbons. To get the ribbons around the vertical cards, punch and notch in the side with the Strawberry Builder Punch as shown (or some other punch).
- Add the stamped sentiments, images, and punched pieces to the cards. I added the punched pieces with Dimensionals.
- Then embellish with Red Rhinestones.
- Open pouch, add the cards and envelopes, close with the Velcro dot, and gift to someone.
Isn’t it fun! And this whole project is pretty quick to make. I think what took me the longest was stamping and punching all the strawberries.
