Sweet Strawberry Scrapbook Pages

Strawberries have always been one of my favorite foods. I loved strawberry picking with my mom. Mom even had a strawberry patch in our yard growing up. I can remember getting "yelled" at for eating too many strawberries from the yard and to make sure I left some for her to can/freeze!

When I saw the Sweet Strawberry bundle, I knew that scrapbook pages had to be made! I have more ideas on how to use this set and create more pages but I just haven't had time to play as much as I would love to.


I started with Garden Green 12 x 12 paper for the background. The black checked paper is from the hostess only pack of designer series paper called Pattern Party. To get the word berry to stand out more I cut both Real Red and Basic Black letters. I then adhered the Real Red letters to the top of the Basic Black to give more of a 3D look.


The Granny Apple Green and Real Red pop off the pages. I added some Black Glittered Organdy ribbon and strawberries to help complete the pages.   


It is always a goal for me to use my stamp sets and create pages with them. I don't think you have to use stickers and other one time use items to have fabulous pages. I hope that I inspire you to create pages too!

Tailor Tag Punch

I have been playing with the tailor tag punch. The more I play with it the more I wonder why it took me so long to purchase this punch! It's so versatile! You can see the backgrounds I have made with it HERE

I'm sharing some of the other items I have made with this fantastic punch!

To create the bow tie, I punched the tag and then cut it in half through the largest width of the punched image. I placed the two pieces together to create the start of the bow tie. I adhered them together by wrapping a 1/4" piece around the meeting point.


The flower pot was made with the tailor tag being cut in half at the widest part of the punched image. So simple and gives the flowers a grounding point.


This one is a little more difficult and I'm not sold on it it being the best way to create a graduation cap but it works on some level. The top of the hat was punched out and then lined up the top peak in the punch again to create this diamond shape. The bottom of the hat is half of a punch again. I did some free hand fussy cutting to give the curved edges like the real hat has.


I have three more cards I made using this punch. Keep watching and they will turn up here very soon!
