**************

I love the cards I’ve seen made with the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set…one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration products when you purchase $50 of Stampin’ Up! products right now.  However, when I was working with it for one of my Create projects, I saw the red blossoms turned upside down on my desk.  I thought they looked like strawberries.  So…I added a few black dots and changed the bottom of the flower to green!!!  Voila!  Strawberries!

Lotus Blossom

Here are the details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Whisper White folded in half.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 Hello Honey cardstock was embossed with the Delicate Dots folder.
  • A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of the striped pattern in Painted Blooms Designer Paper was placed along the left side.
  • I punched two Flower Medallion flowers from Mossy Meadow cardstock and cut them up into leaves.
  • I used the Petite Flower Punch with Whisper White cardstock to make the flowers and added 1/4″ Circles of Hello Honey cardstock inside.
  • The Lotus Blossoms were stamped off with Real Red, full strength Real Red, then Cherry Cobbler on top.  Then I stamped them again with Pistachio Pudding, Wild Wasabi and Mossy Meadow, cut off the bottom of the blossoms for the top of the strawberries.  I used a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to make the seeds.
  • Finally, I stamped Thank You from Lotus Blossom Stamp set with Tuxedo Black ink on a 3/4″ strip of Whisper White, cut a flag end and added it under the leaves.

So…what do you think?  Do YOU see strawberries???

Don’t forget it’s PREVIEW WEEK over on Create with Connie and Mary!  We’re giving away FREE Subscriptions, FREE tutorials and introducing our Design Team this week!  Check us out EVERY day!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    I ran across this card on Pinterest. You are so talented to be able to look at a stamp set and think outside the box. This is a terrific card!!! Love the yellow with it which really sets it off!
