Summer Fruit-Themed Dies 4-Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fruit-themed cards for Summer using a variety of dies and our Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps. Once again for all four of my cards, I stuck with a single design which I repeated, changing only the images, patterned papers, and the different greetings from the same stamp set.

Card No.1: My first card focuses on the strawberries, blossoms, and leaves from the Strawberry Patch Dies. For all of my cards today, I started by die-cutting a white scalloped panel 5-1/2" x 3-5/8" using the lacy edge die from our Slimline Pennant Dies set. I then added a stitched strip from Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I had in my head that I wanted to add a ribbon bow without any bulk, but Sunny Studio doesn't have a die like this already in our line-up so I borrowed one from another company that was just the right size to match using Lawn Fawn's Platform Pop-up Dies. I added a diagonal green striped print from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack along the bottom of my card and stamped a sweet greeting to match my card's scene using our Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Card No. 2: My second card combines the lemon slices from the Fresh Lemon Dies, the Strawberries from the Strawberry Patch Dies, and the cherries from the Wild Cherry Dies. This time I switched out the patterned paper to match my lemon for a yellow gingham print from our Gingham Pastel Paper pack.

Card No. 3: For my next card I focused on using both seed variations from our Juicy Watermelon Dies, switching out my bow for a green one this time and opting for a red striped print from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack. I can't get enough of these fresh colors for summer! This card reminds me of one of my daughter's favorite Gymboree tops from way back when.

Card No. 4: Lastly, I have a card combining lemons and limes from our Fresh Lemon Dies with the wired basket from our Build-a-Bowl Dies. I added a coral-colored bow to match the one grapefruit citrus slice and a yellow striped patterned paper from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack. This particular scene took up more space than the others in my set, so I added a stacked sentiment "sending you a big squeeze" in the top right corner instead of all lined up below the scene like I did for my other cards.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛

Build-A-Bowl Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello Everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing a simple card showing how the Build-a-Bowl dies can be used with something other than fruit. I have die a bunch of little hearts to fill the bowl on my card. 

First I added some light pink shading and splatters to the card front. Next I adhered the bowl that's been die cut from some metallic silver card stock. I then added a bunch of little hearts die cut from several different colors. The heart die I used comes from the Gift Card Envelope set. I arranged the hearts to look as if they were falling into and filling up the bowl. 

I created a custom greeting with stamps from Sunny Sentiments and the Love word die from Gift Card Envelope. Lastly I added a few clear sequins. That's it for quick and easy card. You could customize it even more by adding hearts in the recipient's favorite colors. This card design would also work great for Valentine's Day with red and pink hearts.

Build-A-Bowl Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a zesty appreciation card with a fresh summer color scheme featuring the Build-A-Bowl Dies!

This is a 4 3/4" square card and I started by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the largest Stitched Square Dies. I inked the outside edges with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink and adhered it to the center of a white card front.

Next, I die-cut a green paper from the Gingham Pastels Paper 4 times using the ribbon die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I cut each piece to 4 1/4" long and adhered them along the stitched edges of the stitched square overlapping them at the corners. For the quatrefoil background, I cut a piece of white cardstock 5” x 5” and die-cut it using the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Die (I die-cut it once on one side of the cardstock and then lined up the die with the end of the cut pattern and die-cut again to achieve a larger continuous pattern). I then cut a second piece of white cardstock 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" and inked it with Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink. I didn’t blend the ink smoothly since I wanted a slightly mottled look. I adhered the white quatrefoil die-cut piece to the inked cardstock and then die-cut the combined piece using the second largest Stitched Square Dies. I adhered this piece centered on the green strips.

To finish, I die-cut the bowl using the Build-A-Bowl Dies from white cardstock and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I added a floral pattern by die-cutting a piece of vellum using a flower from the Strawberry Patch Dies and then using it as a stencil with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink. I then die-cut and inked the lemons, flowers and a branch using the following dies:

Fresh Lemon Dies
Strawberry Patch Dies
Tree Branch Die

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps with white embossing powder on white cardstock, inked over the sentiments and fussy cut them out.
