Hi, Stampers. Do you remember scratch-n-sniff? For today’s card I did a DIY scratch-n-sniff technique using the Sweet Strawberries bundle! It smells SO GOOD!
This scratch-n-sniff card can be made with or without the Scratch-n-Sniff technique. Either way, it starts with a Garden Green card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Real Red CS. The stamping is done on a 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ layer of Basic White CS.
I used the Sweet Strawberry stamp set with Real Red ink to stamp the two-step strawberries all over the Basic White layer. (note: I didn’t line all of them up exactly right, but a light Real Red stampin’ blend worked great for touch up!) If you decide to do the Scratch-n-Sniff technique, this is when you do it.
Stampin’ Tip: I mixed some strawberry flavored Kool-Aid with clear embossing powder (one part Kool-aid to two parts embossing powder). Using Versamark ink and the solid strawberry stamp, I stamped right over the top of the existing red strawberries, added the embossing powder mix, and heated with the heat tool.
Using the Strawberry Builder Punch, I punched out the tops to the strawberries and attached them to the top of each one with a glue dot. Using the Amazing Thanks Dies, I die cut “thanks” out of Basic White CS (with Adhesive Sheet on it) and the outline to “thanks” in Garden Green CS. After they were attached, then they were attached to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. A red ribbon with a bow was wrapped around the Basic White layer and attached on the back. This layer was then attached to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. I stamped the sentiment in the center and the strawberry in the lower right corner using Real Red ink. The top to the strawberry and the leaves in the upper left corner were stamped in Garden Green ink. I used the light Shaded Spruce stampin’ blend to color in the leaves and a dark Daffodil Delight stampin’ blend to color the center of the flowers.
