Today I really wanted to use this sheet of the Cherry On Top DSP stack with the sweet little cherries on it. For inspiration, I looked at the list of colors in the stack. I knew I would use Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush – they’re in this piece of DSP along with Whisper White. So I cut the Fry Box from Cucumber Crush card stock and lined it with the DSP. Now what?
I started shopping in my catalog for a saying or image that felt right. I was thinking cherry pie, but then I came across the Giggle Greetings stamp set with its bowl of cherries and funny sentiment. Bingo!
I stamped the image in black on Heavy Whisper White card stock, then cut the two parts of the sentiment with the new Washi Label punch. The punch was a bit larger than I needed, so I trimmed some off the top/bottom with my Craft Scissors. I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut the bowl of cherries.
Scissors: For the most part, I use my Paper Snips for paper; but sometimes it’s nice to have a longer pair. I keep one pair of Craft Scissors for paper and another pair for only ribbon.
I used an Aqua Painter to color the bowl of cherries in colors from the DSP stack. The 4″x6″ Cellophane Bag tied with a piece of Pool Party ribbon contains chocolate covered dried cherries. Yum!
Don’t you think this is a cheerful gift for someone going through a rough time?
Here’s what I used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
What a great ‘pick me up’ idea! Just make sure there are chocolate covered cherries in the bag!!!!!
Thanks. Cheryl! You can’t see the chocolates in the photo, but they are there.
So cute. I love the combination.
Thanks, Carol!
Think anyone would be pleased to receive this little cutie. I would appreciate the thoughtful box as much as the chocolate covered cherries and I love me some chocolate covered cherries!
Thanks, Judy! I’ll have to get more of these little tasty bits for when you come over.
Adorable!
Thanks. Denise!
