Make-It-Mine Mondays are so much fun! I like seeing what changes I can make to someone else’s card to make it my own. This week I (or should I say “we” since my card is pretty darn close to my inspiration!) used the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and punch from Stampin’ Up!’s January – June Mini Catalog.
The Sweet Strawberry stamp set just screams “SUMMER!” to me but I received my inspiration card in a swap and fell in love with the bright colors and knew I had to recreate it.
The card at the left is my inspiration. Bright and fun! You know me though….I had to add more layers. If a card doesn’t have about 10 layers it just doesn’t seem complete to me. Ha!
As you can tell by comparing the two cards I stuck pretty close to Mary’s original design. Other than adding a couple of layers, I just changed the ink color and one of the pieces of designer paper,
Speaking of the designer paper….where does it come from? It’s not in the January-June Mini Catalog. Hmmm….It’s in the Sale-a-bration Brochure! It’s part of a Level 2 Sale-a-bration offering meaning you need to purchase $100 in product to choose it. It’s called Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper and is bundled with the Berry Blessings stamp set. This stamp set has berries other than strawberries in it. I love how both the Berry Blessings stamp set and the Sweet Strawberry stamp set coordinate with the paper.
Have you played the “Make-It-Mine Monday” game? Where are you getting your inspiration from? I’d love to know. Feel free to share your card and your inspiration in the comments below!
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
