Brighten The Day

We are finally getting sunshine here in Iowa. It has been a week of cloudy and gray skies. So I thought we all could use a cheery card to brighten someone’s day. What better than strawberries. It makes me think of Spring. So when I saw this stamp set in the Mini Catalog, I knew it was on my must-have list.

I have two berry cards for you today. Each one is what I consider a concept card. This means it will work for a variety of occasions. The first is “Just for you” which could be thinking of you, birthday, or a get well card. Of course, you can use an entirely different greeting. The second I made it a “Thanks” card using the Country Home stamp set.

Notice the ribbon on both of these cards. We don’t currently have a Poppy Parade ribbon. So I used some Seam Binding Ribbon and colored it with the Poppy Parade Blends. Card one used the new Berry Delightful DSP in the Sale-a-bration brochure. It is FREE with a $100 purchase. You also receive the Berry Blessings stamp set. The second card uses the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder.
