Way Back Wednesday: From Pumpkins to Strawberries

For this week’s Way-Back Wednesday, I’m going back to September 2017 with one of my all-time favorite card layout and a favorite stamp set. I’ve kept this card close by for all these years knowing I would one day recreate it either using the long retired stamp set, Basket of Wishes, or the layout. HERE is the original card posting.

I actually de-stashed this set and bought it again. Have you ever done that? Please tell me I’m not the only one who has done this (at least one time…maybe more)!

For the updated version of this card, I used the Storybook Moments DSP for both the background panel and the image panel. While there are a lot of patterns in this collection to love, I absolutely love the strawberry pattern and will probably use it until it is gone! Those strawberries are just so delicate and pretty.

Measurements…

Basic White card base: 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2 and 1/8 strip (cut 2)

Cherry Cobbler card stock: 4 x 5 1/4 and 1/4 strip (cut 2)

Storybook Moments DSP (green pattern): 3 3/4 x 5

Storybook Moments DSP (strawberry pattern): 1 3/4 x 3 3/4

Details…

Using a corner rounder punch, round the bottom corners of both the card base and the Cherry Cobbler panel. Glue Cherry Cobbler panel to the card base.

Round the bottom corner of the green DSP panel.

Position and glue the strawberry panel to the green panel, adding the Cherry Cobbler and White strips as shown.

Using ribbon or twine wrapped around the green panel and add a bow. I cheat and create the bow separately and glue down with glue dots.

After the ribbon or twine is adhered, glue this panel to the Cherry Cobbler panel.

Stamp, color and cut the strawberry image from the Storybook Garden Patch bundle and add to the card front.

Add a sentiment. I wanted a small sentiment so I went with one from the (retired) Special Moments stamp set.

Here’s a look inside. I used the (retired) Layering Leaves stamp set for the sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed a look back at a previous card and the updated version. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday.

Take care,

Rosanne
