Sweetest Cherries - Scratch and Sniff Card - Joyful Fun Fold

This is the Sweetest Cherries stamp set which has a punch that will coordinate with it, but they are sold separately in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. It sold as a bundle the year before. It is a fun-fold card besides being a scratch and sniff card. It was really fun to make, and I learned this technique from Lee Ann Greff. I have made scratch and sniff cards before, but it was fun to use the Dark Cherry Kool-Aid and Clear Embossing Powder mixed. It smells delicious!

Stamp Set: Sweetest Cherries

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Black, Basic White, Zoo Crew DSP

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Versamark, Clear Embossing Powder,

Other: Paper Trimmer, Black Cherry Sugar-Free Kool Aid, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Cherry Builder Punch, Glue Dots, Black & White Gingham Ribbon, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Festive Pearls

1. The base of the card is Real Red cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 8-1/5” and scored at 5-1/2”.

2. The Zoo Crew DSP (black and white) is cut at 2-1/2” x 4” and adhered to the front flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3. For the inside layer, cut Basic Black cardstock at 3-1/4” x 8” and score at 4-3/4”. Center the long end to the inside and adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, so that the short end overlaps the front flap.

4. Cut Basic White cardstock at 3” x 3”.

5. Ink up the sentiment's “friend” or ‘birthday wishes” for the 3” x 3” Basic White square at the very top.

6. On scrap Basic White, ink up two cherry stamps with Real Red ink. Let dry completely! Use the Embossing Buddy over the two cherries. Then apply Versamark on top of the Real Red cherries. Sprinkle the Clear Embossing and Kool-Aid mixture over the top. Shake off excess. Heat set with the Heat Tool.

7. Kool-Aid Mixture: 1 pkg. of Black Cherry Kool-Aid and 1 tsp. Clear Embossing Powder. Mix well and then each time before you use it again.

8. Ink up the stems with Crumb Cake ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock, and make sure you stamp at each end so that the punch will be able to punch them out (not upside down), and use the punch to punch them out and the cherries.

9. Use a Glue Dot rolled up to attach the stems to the 3” x 3” Basic White square under the sentiment.

10. Adhere the right cherry with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, pop up the left cherry with Stampin'Dimensionals.

11. Tie a bow with the Black and White Gingham Ribbon and attach to the top of the stems with a Glue Dot.

12. For the inside, cut Basic White cardstock at 3” x 4-1/2” and ink up the sentiment with a Real Red “Sweet” in the middle. Add in Tuxedo Black “Wishing You A” ….” Day” or the “birthday Wishes”. Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

13. Optional: Add 3 Cherry Cobbler Festive Pearls.
