Blissfully Scrappy

Hello there! Today I’m sharing a berrylicious card featuring products from Crafty Meraki.

For my card I chose to highlight a few dies from the Sweet Celebrations Dies to create a basket of yummy, summer goodness. I just love how this turned out!

Using the Sweet Celebrations Dies, I diecut the strawberries and leaves from white cardstock and the cupcake liner from teal cardstock. I cut the flowers from white cardstock with the Artisan Flora Wreath Builder Dies. I colored the white diecuts with the following Catherine Pooler Inks: Coral Cabana, Samba and Rockin’ Red for the berries; Lime Rickey and Grass Skirt for the leaves; and Limoncello for the flower centers and strawberry seeds. I blended the cupcake liner with Aquatini to create some dimension. I assembled the diecuts with liquid adhesive.

For my background I chose a perky, red gingham. I trimmed it to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhered it to a white card. I diecut the scalloped layer from white cardstock and blended the center with Coral Cabana. I flicked on some water droplets and glued the piece to my card. Unfortunately, as you’ll see in the next photo, the ink-blending is mostly covered up by my diecuts, and I wish I had gone a bit higher with my ink.

I adhered the cupcake liner with foam tape and tucked in the strawberries, attaching the four in the foreground with thin foam squares and the rest with liquid adhesvie. I affixed the leaves and flowers with glue and popped up the solitary strawberry with foam.

My sentiment is from the Gilded Greetings Hot Foil Plate and is leftover from a previous cardmaking session. I had foiled it with Polished Brass Glimmer Foil and diecut it with the coordinating die. This plate is probably my most used and loved Crafty Meraki product: You get so many sentiments at one time, and the font is beautiful!

I popped up my sentiment with foam and finished the card with a scattering of pink gems. Doesn’t this card just scream summer?!
