Chocolate Covered Gold leafed Strawberry 🍓 Handmade Card Diagonal Easel Fun Fold Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped

Do you want to know a secret?!

I recently started a conversation with a dear friend like this... and of courrrrrseeee she wanted to know my secret... but I have a different secret to share with you.... 

(makes you want to know the secret I shared with her, doesn't it - he,he,he).

I dislike chocolate - lol! 

Unlesss..... it is dark chocolate and on strawberries it's even tempting with milk chocolate!

When any reason comes in to celebrate I find myself looking at pretty flowers or a tasty treat.  Recently a Doctor of mine, who has become a friend, reminded me that if I didn't have someone buying me roses, that I should buy my own - as I deserve them.  For me - roses or chocolate covered strawberries... it's about admitting that I am worth it, also.

With two different cards comes different opportunities to deliver smiles.

Decorating the INSIDE allows for the coordinating polka dots that you can write on really upgrades this handmade card, don't you think?

(Comment what you think below, please...)

Upgrade your project when you add a sweet fun fold!

This Diagonal Easel handmade card POPs while also the FREE Paper, stamp set and more combines to sweeten this creation!

One of MY favorite treats are these chocolate covered strawberries from a locally owned, woman ran company that delivers the sweetest treats!  Check out this wonderful woman, her journey to America and how she has embraced the American dream!

Recipe:

~  Scoring the Petal Pink at 4-1/4" and then diagonal cut will allow this to POP up.

~  Real Red card stock at4"x5-1/4", cut the same diagonal with our Stampin' Trimmer.

~  The FREE Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper is really such a fun twist to this card... here the polka dot piece cut to 5"x3-3/4" and cut the same diagonal.

~  Using your Bone Folder to make a firm impression

~  Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to adhere the layers on eace side of the score line.

~  Die Cut with the Adoring Hearts and the red Watermelon paper from that same FREE Packet (only FREE through February with a qualified purchase).

~  Die Cut the Early Espresso card stock (6"x6") 

~  Using the Take Your Pick Tool and the FREE Crafter Tips for this ($21 value FOR FREE!) to create the dipped chocolate look.  Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

~  Using the Glass Mat Studio allows for you to create and stamp sooo much better BUT it also is a top quality tempered glass mat that you cand DIRECTLY Cut and Heat on with NO Damage!  Whoop!

(Using the Embossing Buddy to absorb the excess adhesive from the Embossing Additions Tool Kit.)

~  Rock and Roll these dipped strawberries into the Versa Mark ink pad and the Gold Embossing Powder.

~  Using the brush from Embossing Additions Tool Kit to brush off what you don't want on there - allowing the chocolate to appear.

~  Heat set with the Heat Tool for this gold leafing appearance.

~  I UPGRADED these 'berries' into a dewy look with the sparkle of the Wink of Stella glimmer brush.

~  Adhere this to the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals for a multilayered look (see the video on the three levels I helped create).

~  Stamp the INSIDE with the Real Red ink pad and the Heart Shaped FREE Stamp Set and the raise berry 'kick stand' to hold the easel card open with Stampin' Dimensionals. (I upgraded the inside with the same sized card stock and designer series paper for a fun festive look!)

Upgrade the inside or NOT??

I am so glad that I did this, but what do YOU think??  

My desire to STOCK PILE my beautiful papers wars with the joy of a decorated polka dot interior.

Can we discuss the STUNNING accent using the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper??  

Recipe:

~  Scoring the Thick Basic White card stock at 4-1/4", turning 90* and cutting at 5-1/2".  Using a Bone Folder to impress the fold for a firm impression.

~  With the 3-1/4" Basic White card stock apply the Flirty Flamingo ink pad.  With the Melon Mambo and Real Red Stampin' Write Marker flick the stamp for a variety of shades to the image.  

~  Huff across the stamp and stamp the center of the paper.

~  Die-Cut the Textured Metallic die in the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

~  Stamp the greeting in the center.  

~  With the Stampin' Blending Brush and Flirty Flamingo ink pad soften the paper... using the Stampin' Glass Mat Studio makes for a clean work space and more control of the color.  

~  Add the sprinkles of sparkle with our Wink of Stella Glimmer brush (Again, the Stampin' Glass Mat Studio is AMAZING at improving your stamping and protecting your crafting surface!)

~  Die-Cut the Designer Series Paper CENTER to hide the die cut in fun color mixes that YOU pick and the leaves in the Textured Metallic gold paper, applying the two with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Pick your Petal look and Shine BRIGHT with this beautiful paper!
