Sweet Strawberry Punch creates beautiful shaped flowers.

It's been a little while since SU had a mini flower punch so I am so pleased to see one incorporated into the Strawberry Builder Punch. It is a lovely shape and t coordinates with the flower in the Sweet Strawberry stampset but has multiple uses with plain or printed card or paper.

Playing with new products is always fun, and I like to try and create some cards a little different from the suite- different colours and papers and uses.

I used some of the gorgeous DSP from the Sand and Seas suite and my favourite card base Sahara Sand.

I initially stamped the card base and most of the photos are of that version but in the end I decided it was a bit busy so I cut up the first version and remade it with a plain base -as above.

The strawberry builder punch has the super cute little flower. The Calyx stamp can be snipped to create 2 sets of 2 leaves as well. You can see how I've done that in the photo below.It is easy to shape your flat punched paper flowers and give them more dimension. I have a picture from the way back in the past to show you here. These days I will first spritz the punched shapes with a little water and gently press in the centres on a foam mat. You need to leave them to dry then. Don't go too heavy with the water, but when they are damp they will shape easily. 

I found the flower shape from the strawberry punch has a natural curve with the shape of the petals to form a beautiful 3D flower. You can see where I have pressed it flat again and the 5 fold lines have formed automatically.

And of course the inside needs a little bit of something as well.

Which one do you prefer?
