Give Away Today

We’re so excited to be featured on Give Away Today! Our card kits are a fresh-new take on card crafting, making sure that both the inside and outside of your cards look fabulous with a handmade touch!

Also, Cherries Jubilee Creations is a joint effort by me and my husband. We both come up with the ideas, then he draws and designs everything himself. He’s pretty amazing and very talented (I’m his wife, I can say that!) We’re just a tiny family operation, but know there is a need out there for quick, easy and fun ways to make cards that will really impress.
We hope you enjoy, and buy! Visit our store and purchase a kit or two or three or all four with the coupon code you received from Give Away Today!

Tricks & Treats

By admin   |   September 7, 2009

With Halloween just around the corner, we are pleased to announce the arrival of our newest card kit: Tricks & Treats.

Dressing up for Halloween continues to be one of our favorite things to do, as it brings the kid out in us and lets our imaginations run wild.  To capture this same excitement, we have designed a set of paper dolls that come with every kit.  So, even if you don’t decide to dress up this year, you can share your inner vampire or cheerleader with your family and friends.

Order your Halloween card kit now by visiting our store.

We had both our logo and blog designed by Logoworks, and love how they turned out.  And apparently they love it, too!

Cherries Jubilee Creations is currently being featured in the blog design campaigns for both Logoworks and HP!  We thought we would share with you the images that they sent us.

Birthday Card Ideas

By admin   |   December 29, 2008

Paper crafting pro, Alisa Bangerter, designed two darling birthday cards using our Raspberry Truffle Cake card kit. Both of these cards are currently featured in the Birthday issue of Paper Crafts Magazine.

On her “Make a Wish Card,” Alisa created a candle by rolling and flattening a piece of white cardstock (2.5″ x 4″) and cutting a piece of ribbon into the shape of a flame.

This card was featured in PaperCrafts Magazine Jan/Feb 2009

Alisa described her “Birthday Cupcake Card” design as “out-of-the-box.” This is because she used the inside of a card base as a decorative accent. By cutting one of our card bases in half and adhering it to a larger base, the inside sentiment becomes a featured element and plays off the cupcake embellishment she created. This “out-of-the-box” idea makes a much larger card (5″ x 7″); the perfect size for a group of friends, co-workers, or family members to sign.

This card was featured in PaperCrafts Magazine

A complete list of instructions for these cards are available in the January/February 2009 issue of Paper Crafts Magazine.

easy as 1…2…3

giftcardholderWhen we designed our most recent card kit: Cutie Pie we wanted the inside to really dazzle! Sometimes after creating a card we feel that the card is so cute it could be the gift…so we decided to punch notches on the inside of this card to hold a gift card. It works so perfect with the printed sentiment that I just had to share this little trick. Then, to embellish the outside we used paper from the Little Boy Blue assortment and then adhered it to the outside. We’d love to see what you’ve created with our Cutie Pie card kit.

Rock-a-Bye Baby Ruffles Card

By admin   |   September 20, 2008

Before our card designs get their place of honor in our gallery, their first stop is a blog post to highlight the great designs. This darling card was made by Curt. Love his technique of how he inventively used the ribbon and paper to make dang cute ruffles! Way to go! Plus, look at the pink dotted “ribbon strip” it’s not ribbon at all…just part of the border strip from our Cutie Pie kit! Cool eh?

Truffles and parfaits and birthdays! Oh, my!

By admin   |   May 6, 2008

I love celebrating birthdays, attending and throwing birthday parties, and making birthday cards. With that said, it was so easy to decide that I wanted my first kits to be birthday party inspired. My color inspiration for the card kits come from the yummy desserts:  Raspberry Truffle Cake and Blueberry Lime Parfait. Both kits will be available for purchase, through this website, starting Monday June 2, 2008. Here’s a sneak peek of what comes in each kit.

Cherries never looked so good

By admin   |   April 28, 2008

I’m loving my new blog design! I can’t believe it! It really captures the vision of my company, and the designers at Logoworks by HP did a great job incorporating the look of my “inspiration dress” (see the “Fancy Threads for my blog” post for a better explanation). I’m so excited to continue and share my inspiration and design process…with a few unexpected surprises along the way.
