Cherries or apples ... or both!

Upon first glance I thought the stamp in the new set "Sprinkles of Life" was an apple but I think it really is supposed to be a cherry.... or maybe both!

Here it's apples...

And the wonderful new matching punch allowed me to quickly punch out the 'apples'!

I used:

• colour combo Watermelon Wonder, Basic Black, Soft Suede
• "Sprinkles of Life" stamp set (139971)
• Tree Builder punch (138295)
• Decorative Dots embossing folder (133520)
• Typeset Specialty DSP (133704)
• Large Oval (119855)
• 1/4" Burlap trim
• Baker's Twine

This new stamp set is the Ronald McDonald selection and for every set sold, Stampin' Up! will donate $3 to RMHC!   How wonderful!!

Tomorrow is a new video on the Retiform technique....see you then!

SSU55 - For my hubby....

I met my husband on March 17th...St Patrick's Day!!  We like to celebrate this special day just as much as our actual wedding anniversary.

For today's "Saturday Step Up", I've created a card to give Gerry on that special day...

I stepped up the top card by colouring my camping images with my Blendabilities, added a stamped image for the background and added some of the fibres as an embellishment from the burlap trim.  Also just loved all the fussy cutting on this card!

I used:

• "The Great Outdoors" stamp set (w-132091,c-126562)
• "Build a Bouquet" stamp set (ph-137166)
• Starburst framelits (132967)
• Burlap trim (132140)

Have a super weekend and join me on Monday for some cute cards I created from the latest Paper Pumpkin kit!
