Card designed and Created by Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty Earn Tulip Rewards](https://stampinpretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/A-handmade-friend-card-using-the-Sweetest-Cherries-Bundle-by-Stampin-Up-Card-designed-and-Created-by-Mary-Fish-Stampin-Pretty-Earn-Tulip-Rewards--600x600.jpg)
Today’s friend card sends a bold, graphic message of sweetness. The simple patterns of designer series paper are layered and angled for a snappy and colorful twist!
WHAT I LOVE! The Stampin’ Up! Cherry Builder Punch crisply crops the cherries, stems and leaves for quick paper crafting magic!
NEED SKETCH INSPIRATION? The layout of today’s friend card was inspired by the newest addition to my Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook, Sketch #60, which I shared on Tuesday!

Use the Cherry Builder Punch to crop the cherry (Real Red), stem (Basic Black) and leaves (Old Olive).
Adhere the cherries with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the stems and leaves with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with a Matte Black Dot.
PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.
