Your Next Stamp Strawberry Overload

Hi Crafty Friends,
This is my FAREWELL post as Guest Designer for Your Next Stamp this month! I hope you have enjoyed all my projects... there are 7! Can you believe it? If you missed any, please scroll back and check them out, I had so much fun and I don't want you to miss any of the amazing stamp sets I used.
For my last post I decided to use my FAVORITE set from YNS (so far), it's called Fruity Fun! I made a Strawberry Shaker card with STRAWBERRY sprinkles inside and Strawberry Paper for my background! Strawberry OVERLOAD!

Make Crafty Friends Q &A:
Q: What is your favorite fruit?
A: Me? I love strawberries but my favorite is kiwi

I started my card by sketching out the strawberry shape. I hand drew it on the pink paper then cut out the inside and added the acetate with glue. I cut thin strips of the foam tape and taped them on the edges of the pink. I added my strawberry sprinkles and mounted it on the white background. I arranged the shaker with the cute little strawberries that I stamped and colored and drew the match face onto the acetate. I finished my card with the sentiment on Kat Scrappiness Banner die and Your Next Stamp Gumdrops.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite SUMMER activity?
A: Me? I love to run outside, bike, walk.... anything outdoors.

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am having so much fun Guest Designing for Your Next Stamp this month! Hopefully, I will be back soon! It's a time for a NEW FUN FRIDAY CHALLENGE from Your Next Stamp! The theme is TRIOS!  I created my "TRIO" card using a stamp set filled with cuteness from the May Release called Beep! Beep!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your FAVORITE shape to create with?
A: Me? I love HEARTS!

 I made this card as a CAS card to highlight the TRIO! I used the Stamp Doctor Scallop Edge die to create the bottom of the card and a square punch to make the squares. Since each little pet and the girl have a birthday present with them I added the fun little birthday sentiment and finished my card like a I would finish a present... with a bow!
