Love You Cherry Much Soda Can Card

I had the BEST time making this card!  The whole inspiration for the card was my new paper stack.  I ordered the My Favorite Things Stack from Erin Lee Creative.  It is SO cute :)  When I saw the adorable little cans of soda with cherries on them I was inspired to make this card.

The card is a standard A2 size, that opens from the top.  The soda can is from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge.  The original design includes a straw coming out of the top of it, and a smiling face on the can.  I trimmed the straw off with a pair of scissors after cutting it, and I used the hide contour feature to avoid cutting the face.  The can was cut at 4.5 inches.  

To get the cherries for the front of the can I used the Preserves Cricut cartridge.  I used the hide contour feature to make these cherries a simple cut with no notches marked to add layers to.  They are cut at 1.25 inches.  

I layered the can onto a piece of vanilla cardstock that measures 2.25 by 3.25 inches.  I added some stitching lines with a Stampin' Up marker, and then put scalloped borders on each side.  The borders were punched with the Stampin' Up Scallop Border Punch.

For the bottom of the card I cut a vanilla layer at 1 and 1/2 inches tall by 4 and 1/4 wide.  I took a sentiment from Pink By Design's Country Living set for the sentiment.  I used some small post it notes to help me do some masking so that the word "cherry" would be a different color than the rest of the sentiment.  I used SP & Company's Rain Boots stamp set to stamp the little cherries on either side of the sentiment.  I added some more stitching lines with my marker.

I showcased the adorable inspiration paper from Erin Lee Creative by using my Scallop Border Punch again and attaching a strip to my card.  I added some ribbon over the top of it.  Even though it is just one row of those adorable little cans I think it pops nicely.

I had a blast with this card, and it was fun to use several products made by crafters for crafters :)  Be sure and check out Erin's new paper!  I'm so glad I ordered some.  I'll be featuring more projects with it soon b/c I have a ton of ideas for it.
