Day 4: Stripes & a Berry

Happy Saturday!

We all said good-bye to my hubby this morning, lots of kisses & waved from the porch.. It wasn't quite the send-off I was thinking it would be. My older daughter woke up sick last night and had a fever this morning. Lots of couch time with blankets, snacks and lots of fluid!

Here's the card I packed for the husband to open today:

I used my Stripes Embossing Folder on my card base! Can't remember the last time I used it. 

I followed the theme by using striped paper; each one is punched with the 1 3/8" square punch.

After using the Real Red DSP on yesterday's card, I decided to stick with it. 

(It's retired! You gotta use that stuff up!)

I colored my berry with Lucky Limeade, Real Red and Chocolate Chip Makers and stamped it on Whisper White card stock. I punched it out using 1 1/4" square punch, which layers perfectly on the DSP.

I stapled some little 'tags' of Real Red 1/8" Taffeta ribbon to the side of the image for a little embellishment.

A little berry and an '{XO}llent!' sentiment inside finish it off.

Thanks for looking! Hope you are having an inspiring day!
