Welcome to week 10 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Cherry Cobbler, from the regals collection.
I normally use Cherry Cobbler to make Christmas cards, however, as I’m already making a Christmas card every Monday for our Heart of Christmas blog hop I decided to make a non-Christmas project instead that uses the Sweet Strawberry bundle and the stunning Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/2″ (1.3 cm) Ribbon.
Have you seen the the Scalloped Kraft Treat Boxes in the Annual Catalogue? They are covered in tiny gold foil dots and they are perfect size for packaging up a selection of 3×3 inch notecards. They also coordinate so well with the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/2″ (1.3 cm) Ribbon.
The Sweet Strawberry stamp set was the perfect stamp set to be coloured in with my light and dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. I’ve also used light and dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends for the leaves.
There’s a lovely selection of sentiments in this stamp set and I’ve used a different one on each notecard.
Here’s a closer look at each note card. For the first two notecards I added a layer of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock behind the stamped layer and I stamped directly onto the top card stock layer.
The coordinating Strawberry Builder punch punched out the strawberry, the large and small leaf and the strawberry flower that I’ve used for these notecards below – the large flower I fussy cut with my paper snips. Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels add a tiny touch of bling.
These Stampin’ Up! square envelopes come in a pack of 40 and are designed to fit 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) notecards. To coordinate with envelopes with my Cherry Cobbler notecards I’ve simply glued a strip of the Peaceful Prints FREE Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper to the envelope flaps and trimmed the DSP with paper snips to fit the curve of the envelope flaps.
Although this DSP has Christmas designs on one side, the other sides are all background patterns you can also use on non-Christmas cards, like I have done here, using the Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black check pattern to decorate the envelope flaps.
The final touch for my gift box of Cherry Cobbler notecards is to tie it up with the new Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/2″ (1.3 cm) Ribbon.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, Rachel Palmieri. I can’t wait to see what she’s made this week!

Catherine Proctor – you are here!
Ooh, I just love your sweet little box of gorgeous note cards Catherine. I hadn’t paid much attention to the boxes either, and they are the perfect way to gift your little cards. Tied up perfectly with that beautiful ribbon.
Umm what? I haven’t noticed these cute little boxes, hmmm… your little cards are so gorgeous with the yummy strawberries. What a beautiful way to gift them. I’m off to find these boxes in the catalogue now!
That’s a great idea and such lovely cards to pop into the beautiful box. Love that scalloped edge.
Your note cards are very sweet and sadly, I had missed the gift boxes in the catalogue! I love how you have used them to store your cards.
Beautiful set of cards Catherine, great way to show other uses for the Peaceful Prints DSP
Aww, what a sweet little gift set. I’ve never even noticed the gift boxes in the catalogue – how remiss of me! The cards are all so lovely.
Oh what a very clever idea Catherine. Teaming the lovely CC and gold ribbon with the sweet gold dotted boxes is perfect.
Cathy, these little cards and envelopes are just delightful, and would make a beautiful gift. Lovely work!
That’s a beautiful project Cathy, would love to case it if you don’t mind that is!!!! Great gift idea
