MY FINAL FRUIT SALAD CARD FOR THE WEEK

For this card I decided to combine the Everyday Arches Bundle with the Fruit Salad DSP.

I chose a Granny Apple Green card base and then cut the largest of the Everyday Arches dies in Basic White card.

The arched greeting was carefully positioned to fit the large arch. It was stamped in Granny Apple Green.

Then I cut 5 arches, each in a different design of the DSP.

They were layered and adhered together before I added it to the Basic White arch.

After fussy cutting some of the fruit, from the DSP, I attached them to the layered arches using glue and dimensionals.

I added a strip of the DSP to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some of this week’s sequins using both Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pens. They were added to the card front in pairs.

Monday I will have some new projects to share with you.Until then, happy stamping.

A GIFT BOX DESIGNED TO HOLD THREE ROLLS OF FRUIT FLAVOURED MENTOS

After measuring the three Mentos rolls, I designed this gift box.

I checked my measurements and then cut the box from an A4 piece of Daffodil Delight card stock.

Before assembling the box I cut panels of DSP and adhered them to the box base.

I enjoy taking care to match panels around the box.

Then I assembled the box.

The turn down box flap was secured with a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon that had been coloured with the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.

The ribbon was secured to the base of the gift box using a Mini Glue Dot. It was then tied in a bow at front of the box.

The greeting was stamped and heat embossed, with white embossing powder, then punched out and adhered to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I coloured some of the sequins, from the Trio pack, using the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends pen and added them to the front of the box.

Tomorrow I have Fun Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

HOW TO USE A PUNCH TO CREATE A BACKGROUND FOR A CARD

This technique is so quick and easy. You can use just about any punch that you have in your collection.

For this card, I am still featuring the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper that you can earn for FREE with any $100 AUD product order.

I have used the same colours, as yesterday, but added Azure Afternoon for a second cool colour.

I used the To The Point Label Punch again and this time, used the Ice Cream Swirl Stamp Set.

The Pumpkin Pie card base was my starting point.

I took the Basic White layer and lightly pencilled it into quarters. This then became my reference for positioning the punched shapes.

The Pumpkin Pie punched shape was the first to be adhered in place. From here I played around with placements to vary the colours and create some even spacing between them.

Then I spent some time fussy cutting the fruit images that I used on the card.

I added two fruit images to each of the five punched shapes.

The ‘sweet’ sentiment was perfect for this card. After stamping it in Pumpkin Pie ink I punched it and then trimmed it in half.

I added a strip of the Pumpkin Pie DSP to the card insert and larger piece to the back of the envelope.

Finally I coloured some of the clear sequins, using the dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Pen, before attaching them to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
