Hello friends….Are you ready for Spring?  I sure am!  I love the different seasons throughout our year but I am always ready for the next season when it comes around.  I love the beauty of Spring when God brings us new things and everything is blooming and growing in nature!   What is your favorite season?

My card today gets me so excited for Spring.  It features the Sweet Strawberry Bundle.  I have to admit, when I saw this bundle in the catalog it was not on my favorite list.  In fact, I’m sorry to say, it sat on my shelf a few weeks before I picked it up. What was I thinking?  Boy, was I wrong!  It’s such a sweet bundle.  I am really enjoying creating with it!   I needed a thank you card and this set couldn’t be more perfect!

I used the retired Berry Delightful Designer Series paper which was in our recent Sale-A-Bration flyer.  I decided I needed to use up some of my paper stash!  If you don’t have this paper that’s okay, just substitute a different paper and email me a picture of what you create!  I would love to see your creation!

I used Poppy Parade, Garden Green and Granny Apple Green ink to stamp the strawberries and stems.  The strawberries, stems,  flowers and sentiment are all popped up using stampin’ dimensionals.  The background leaves and center of the flowers are colored using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.

To finish off the card, I kept the inside decoration simple with using a single sentiment stamped in Poppy Parade ink and a single punched strawberry and flower.

I have listed all the supplies and measurements below that I used to create this card.  I would love it if you would subscribe to my blog, if you haven’t already done so!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Wishing each of you many blessings of springtime!
