Today’s project is a fun card with one of the New Punch Bundles. It includes the Sweetest Cherries stamp set and the Cherry Builder Punch. For me the punch bundles are the favorites.
Bundle
As mentioned above, this is a Punch Bundle. The Sweetest Cherries Bundle is Oh So Sweet! There are cherries to stamp in the stamp set, along with the stems and leaves. But they are also what is included in the Cherry Builder Punch. I opted for simply punching out the images in the appropriate colors of cardstock instead of stamping first.
And the sentiment is included in the set as well. It was made to be as large of a star on this card as the cherries are. It is a clean and simple sentiment that can still stand on it’s own.
Dies and Embossing
As a way to help the cherries Pop!, I layered them using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The bit of stitching just around the inside of each is a great little detail. And the sentiment is cut using a different die from the set. It also has the little stitching. There are multiples of circles, squares and a couple of banners in the die set.
Feeling the background layer of the card needed some definition, the Gingham Embossing Folder was used on the Cherry Cobbler layer. And as a finishing touch for the cherries, one was given the little Iridescent Pearl for a highlight.

Today’s card showcases one of the single stamp sets that immediately caught my attention when the Annual Catalog debuted. It is the Amazing Year set. My favorite stamps are ones that can “stand alone”. This set has two of those, plus some great sentiments.
Stamp Set
The Amazing Year stamp set is such a great value and is wonderful for newer stampers. It allows us to make a card using just one stamp set. This one can have two different focal stars with a variety of sentiments. And this lovely bouquet has it’s own little attached sentiment on a tag.
Paper
There are two different pieces of DSP used on this card. Both are from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper. The striped was a hit with me immediately. It reminds me of the old pillow ticking material. And the flower bouquet is stamped on a second piece of the DSP. By looking closely you can see the lines which appear to be from an old and faded ledger sheet. Stamping on DSP is something that we sometimes forget about. A perfect piece of paper as this is a great reminder to give it a try. It just stands up and begs to be stamped on!
Colors
Most of the colors used came from the Abigail Rose DSP. The Early Espresso is not a color that I used very often. But it is in most of the sheets of that DSP pack. So it was called to duty with the card base as well as the ink for stamping the bouquet. The color is just a bit softer than Black would have been. The colors for the flowers were the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. Of course that came from the striped DSP piece. And the final touch is the strip of t he Natural Finish Ribbon. It blends perfectly and grounds the bouquet layer.
Measurements
The card base of Early Espresso is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. For the layer I chose Crumb Cake. And it is cut to 5 1/4X 4 with the Striped DSP layer cut to 5 X 3 3/4. Finally the focal layers are cut 2 7/8 X 3 3/8 and 2 3/4 X 3 1/4. A last touch is the one Petal Pink Sold Faceted Gems.

Before I share the new Starter Kit promotion, I want to let you know that I will be on vacation for the next week and a half. But I will be posting again beginning on May 23rd, as long as all goes well. I could not talk my Hubby or the Kitty children into doing cards and posts. That is just not right. LOL!!!
So while I am away, I hope you will take a look at the awesome Starter Kit promotion. The new In Colors are all beautiful. It is tough to pick a favorite from this group. But with the promotion, you can get a bundle of In Color products. They are all listed in the promotion information below. And even though I will not be posting, I will be periodically checking email throughout the day. It would be really hard to totally disconnect!
Also with the new Annual Catalog having just debuted, a long Wish List is a great time to join Stampin’ Up!, Get more for your money with the Starter Kit!

AnToday’s card is a little bit of a Fun Fold paired with Symbol of Fortune Designer Series Paper. And the wonderful Flowing Flowers stamp set.
Today’s card is my entry as part of the design team for the Make My Monday Challenge. Springtime is the theme of this challenge. And these flowers with butterflies say Spring for me. You can join our challenge as well. Simply click on the icon and you will be taken to the blog.
Paper
The beautiful DSP is the star of this card. It is the Symbols of Fortune Designer Series paper from the Mini Catalog. This flowers and butterfly piece is my favorite piece of the pack. And the piece for the layer on the right hand side is the back of the first. I went with a very neutral Crumb Cake for the base and pulled the Evening Evergreen for the layers. There are several color options available to be pulled from this beautiful paper.
Stamps
With the gorgeous paper on this card I wanted a simpler stamp for the focal layer. My choice is a favorite from the Mini Catalog and it is the Flowing Flowers stamp set. That gorgeous, yet simple, flower is all the card needed. By using the Calypso Coral with the flower it allowed another complimentary color. And the simple “Hey” is from the Best Year stamp set. Just the tiny word was enough of an added punch.
Embellishments
To add a bit of sparkle for the flower the Iridescent Rhinestones for the center fit perfectly. And to mimic the sweet butterflies of the paper, one of the beautiful Brushed Brass Butterflies is flying in. These little guys add a touch of elegance to any card.
Measurements
This fun fold can be used vertically or horizontally with the focal layer moved around as well. With the focal layer placed a bit higher normal it shows the most of the butterflies on the paper. The Crumb Cake card base is cut to 5 1/2 X 7 1/2 and scored at 3 1/4. This allows the side strip of DSP to show. The Evening Evergreen layers are 3 X 5 1/4 and 1 X 5 1/4. And the DSP is cut to 2 3/4 X 5 and 3/4 X 5. The smaller strips are adhered to the inside White layer which is 4 X 5 1/4. Finally the focal layer is cut 3 X 3 and 2 3/4 X 2 3/4.
