This month the Let’s get Hopping team are focusing on returning favourites. These are stamp sets or bundles that have carried over to the new catalogue and I thought I would highlight the Sweet Strawberry bundle which is STILL available with 10% off! I wanted to show you a different look to this bundle by creating a Vintage Sweet Strawberry patch.
So here is my card, I think you’ll agree that it’s a very different look to the zingy strawberries you may have seen created with this set, but hopefully equally as beautiful.
Tips and Tricks to create this look
- Firstly I stamped on Very Vanilla instead of Basic White – this totally changes the look
- By stamping in Early Espresso instead of black, and using Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green as the main colours, the strawberries also take on a more vintage look
- I sponged some Crumb Cake onto the Very Vanilla which ages the card almost immediately
The card base is Garden Green and there is a hint of an Early Espresso layer just to continue the vintage look. I also heat embossed the greeting onto Early Espresso cardstock. Some of the elements are punched out and raised to create some texture and depth on the card and I added a few little epoxy embellishments as a finishing touch.
As strawberry season approaches, this is the perfect bundle to embellish your own strawberry themed gifts whether it be jams, jellies or tarts. Nothing better than home-made in bakes and cards! And nothing better than getting 10% off your purchases too.
Do hop on to our Shelly, our next contributor, I can’t wait to see what Shelly and the rest of team has in store for us today.
