Fruit Basket... You are the Sweetest!

Here's a closer look at this fun card that I demonstrated on our Facebook Live Video last week.  I just love those cute, little strawberries and that designer series paper.... Read on to learn all about it!

We start our card with a Lemon Lime Twist card base, then added a strip of that fun Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I think those strawberries look good enough to eat!  You can see the rest of the patterns in this fun DSP below.  It kind of makes you hungry!

Next, we stamped "you are the sweetest!" (from the Fruit Basket Stamp Set) in Garden Green ink and punched our circle out using the 2" Circle Punch.

We also stamped our tiny strawberries (also from the Fruit Basket Stamp Set) in Real Red and Garden Green ink and then punched them out with the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack.

I honestly didn't think I was going to need these little fruit stamps and punches (until I tried them at Onstage last November, of course - and then I was hooked!  They are just too cute!). 

The best part is...  you can buy the Fruit Basket Stamp Set and Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack in a bundle and save 10%!

We popped our little strawberries up on Mini Dimensionals and added them to our circle.  Then, we punched a Real Red Starburst and layered it behind our white circle.

Our final finishing touches are that little doily (I just used 1/6 of our normal doily - you only need a small piece!) layered behind our Red Red Starburst and a piece of the new Lemon Lime Twist 3/8" Striped Ribbon.  These are just some fun accents that add a little texture and dimension to our card.

Beautiful Peacock, Beautiful Friend

Oh, my gosh...  I just love this peacock!!

Everyone at the Simple, Beautiful Card Class loved it, too (well, except maybe for the fussy cutting of the peacock.... there's no framelit for this, they asked??).

Check out all of the fun details on this card here, and let me know what you think!

 

We start our card with a Bermuda Bay card base, then added a layer of Lemon Lime Twist card stock, followed by a layer of Whisper White card stock.

Next, we started stamping..... the pretty scrolls from the Beautiful Peacock Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set (yours FREE with a $50 order thru 3/31/18!) in Bermuda Bay ink and those super-cute tiny flowers in Island Indigo ink.  We also stamped "Beautiful Friend" in Bermuda Bay ink in the corner of the card.

Next, we added a strip of Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon along the middle of the card and then tied a bow around this strip.  This ribbon is gorgeous (and so easy to work with!).

Then, we stamped the peacock feathers in Lemon Lime Twist ink and die-cut the circle with the Layering Circle Framelits.  Seriously, if you don't have these framelits yet, you NEED to get them!!  I use them all the time - there are so many great layering variations you can make with the straight-edge and scallop-edge framelits :).

We also die-cut a Lemon Lime Twist and Island Indigo scallop-edge circle using the Layering Circle Framelits and layered them behind the peacock feathers.

Finally, we stamped our peacock in Island Indigo ink, fussy-cut him with our Paper Snips and popped him on our card with Dimensionals.  He's just so cute!

Party Pandas... Happy Birthday

I've got a fun card for you today!!

This card features LOTS of product from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Read on to learn all about these great products here :).

And...  a big shout out to Julie Davison for her inspiration on this card!  We made this card at our Simple Beautiful Card Class earlier this month and everyone loved it!

We start our card with a Bermuda Bay card base, then added a layer of Calypso Coral card stock through the center of our card base.

Next, we added a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock layered with a piece of the super-fun Bubbles & Fizz Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper (yours FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).

 

Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper  147244  (FREE with a $50 thru 3/31/18)

Then, we stamped that cute panda (from the Party Pandas Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set) in Basic Black Ink and "Hi" in Calypso Coral ink.  We die-cut our circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

We also punched the end of our Lemon Lime Twist piece with the Banner Triple Punch to create that "flagged" end on that piece.  We added both our panda/circle and the Lemon Lime Twist piece to our card with Dimensionals.
