Sweet wishes...

 

I had a partial sheet of cardstock printed with some lovely, glittery strawberries on one side and a solid, deep pink on the other side. I decided it was time to use up the rest of the sheet, so I made these two cards.

I die-cut two of the strawberry images, using a stitched circle die, and then cut a doily as a mat for each of of them.

I also die-cut the "sweet wishes" sentiment for each of the cards. I used the deep pink side of the cardstock for this.

The background was created by cutting panels of a matching blue cardstock and then using a striped embossing folder to add some interest and dimension.


If you look closely at this angled photo, you can actually see the glitter of the strawberries.

The circles and their doily mats were popped up with foam squares.








I stamped a sentiment on the inside of each card. I also fussy-cut a strawberry and a flower and added them, as well.

Now that I've used this paper up, I wish I had another sheet of it. The glittery strawberries are so pretty, and I think someone will enjoy giving these (they've been donated to the thrift store) to a friend or family member. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Thee are sweet cards. The strawberries look yummy. There is some satisfaction in using up a scrap. I like the vertical strip e/f for interest in the background.

These turned out great, Cheryl! Love the colors. Isn't that just the truth - you have something around for a very long time, finally use it up, and then wish you had more! LOL!

Very nice - now I need to use up some (no most) of my papers. Great job.
