Sweetest Cherries Samples

Sweetest Cherries Samples

Cherry picking and eating season nears! And Stampin’ Up! has the perfect bundle to celebrate this popular fruit. Find the Sweetest Cherries Stamp Set and the Cherry Builder Punch (buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent) on page 19 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog

Although I’m just getting started playing with this bundle, I’m happy with this cute birthday card and coordinating treat packet. I selected the new 2022-2024 In Colors: Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, and Parakeet Party. (Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis round out this year’s new In Colors.)

I love that Stampin’ Up! offers a bunch of coordinating products to make creating easy and fun. Here are a few of the products I used to make the handmade card:

  • 2022-2024 In Color cad stock
  • 6 x 6 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortments
  • 2022-2024 In Color 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper
  • Baker’s Twine Pack
  • Tahitian Tide ink
  • Stitched Rectangles Dies
  • Blending Brush

Sweetest Cherries Mini Pocket Envelope

And, I had to include a cute treat packet made with some of the same supplies. Isn’t this super cute? I searched the grocery stores to find cherry flavored foods. The Mini Pocket Envelopes Dies make creating these a snap. Use a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ inch piece of patterned party and cut with the die in the Stampini’ Cut & Emboss. Fold, apply some tear and tape, and it’s ready to decorate. These little holders are perfect for treats and gift cards. See this blog post for other examples using this die.

Picture This Dies Alternates

In my last blog post, I featured a host of card samples using Stampin’ Up!’s Picture This Dies. (Find this set of two dies on page 164 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. It sells for $34.)

These dies offer a multitude of options when creating peek-a-boo cards. However, I also found a way to use the leftover circles and a way to use one piece as a stencil. I call them my Picture This Dies alternates.

In the card above, featuring the Sweet Strawberry bundle, I glued the circles to a piece of Basic White Card Stock. I then ran this piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine in the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder, trimming off any pieces that hung over the edge. Do you see that I used another leftover circle as a background for my strawberry?

Stampin' Up!'s Picture This Dies

I love the stitching on the dies as well as the two choices of circles and rectangles.

And, in the card below, I found a way to use the cut as a stencil.

Picture This Dies Stencil

To achieve this look, I cut a piece of card stock to 5 1/4 x 4 inches, die cut with the Picture This Dies (circle). After removing the circles, I placed the die cut on top of another piece of card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4 inches. With the Blending Brushes, I applied Daffodil Delight ink until I got the right look. The sentiment comes from the Sunny Sentiment stamp set, and I constructed a frame using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Here’s a video showing how I used the dies in this collection.
