Now onto my sample for today. I am featuring the new Strawberry Plant and the Sentiment Thank You Berry Much and I created an easel fun fold card.  

I needed a thank you card for a gift of homemade Strawberry Jam that I received from a friend. So, let's get started with some details of how I created my card. 

Design Details:

I started my card by first cutting the images with red & green cardstock. The sentiment is cut in white. 

Next, I started on my easel card. My base layer is red cardstock measuring 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Then is gets scored at 2 1/8" and then at 4 1/4". 

Fold the score lines and now you have your card base. It forms a tent shape. 

Then cut another piece of red cardstock at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". It will cover the entire front of card. You only need to tape the lower portion of the fold. This will be the panel that gets decorated. For those that like a video. Here is one that shows the steps I just did for you. 

I used a wood plank designer paper cut at 4" x 5 1/4" and taped this to the card front panel. 

For the card inside I cut a piece of white cardstock at 4" x 5 1/4" and also a piece of designer paper at 2" x 5 1/4". The sentiment berry will sit on the designer paper. I can write a personal note on the white panel. 

I attached the Berry sentiment with dimensional adhesive. I also cut the berry 3x so it would lift off the card at the height I wanted. 

To finish off my card, I attached the strawberry plant and scattered a few red enamel dots for added interest. That's my sample for this new release. See you next Saturday.
