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.💛

Wild Cherry Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hi there! Leanne here sharing a cherryful card today. I simply could not resist adding the fun play on words to my card featuring how I've used the Wild Cherry dies. 

This A2 card design is very easy to make. I started by creating a soft minty background with scalloped edge detail. To get this detail, I used the Frilly Frame Hexagon die to create a mask that covers the edges of the card front and then I applied the ink in the negative space. The minty aqua color is Catherine Pooler Hot Tub. 

I die cut 7 cherries, stems, and leaves from white card stock. I used small blending brushes and the following Catherine Pooler inks to color: Peppermint Scrub for the cherries, Matcha + Spruce for the leaves, Over Coffee for the stems. 

I arranged the cherries along the bottom half of the card front so I'd have room above them to add a custom greeting. The stamped part of the sentiment are words included in the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set. I used the Hayley Lower Case Alphabet dies to cut out letters that spell "cherryful". I cut the letters from white card stock and colored with a combo of Peppermint Scrub and Merlot CP inks. To finish this design I added a few green sequins scattered around the greeting area.

Wild Cherry Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a clean and simple card for you featuring the Wild Cherry Dies.

I love the look of retro vintage fruit labels and I thought the Wild Cherry Dies would be perfect for this. First, I cut a piece of light aqua cardstock 4 1/2" x 6” and die-cut the piece using the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Die (I die-cut it twice to span the entire cardstock piece). I then die-cut the piece with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it centered on an A2 card front.

Next, I die-cut the second largest Scalloped Oval Mat 2 Dies from black and white cardstock. I adhered the black oval centered on the card front and inlaid the white circles from the white die-cut oval. I die-cut the third largest Stitched Oval Die from white cardstock and inked the top half lightly with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I then inked a sun ray stencil on the top half of the oval with Spun Sugar applying harder pressure for a subtle effect. I die-cut a piece of paper from the All is Bright Paper using the same Stitched Oval Die, cut across the oval at 1 1/2" and adhered it to the bottom of the inked oval. I then adhered this combined piece to the black oval.

To finish, I die-cut the Brilliant Banner 1 Die from white cardstock and stamped the sentiment using the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps (I used Memento “LadyBug” ink for the “cherry” sentiment). I also heat embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder for a little shine. I then inked the banner with Lost Shadow Distress ink and added some shadows with gray Copics. I die-cut the banner again from black cardstock and layered/adhered the two together. I die-cut the cherries from white cardstock and colored them with Copics. Sweet and simple!

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
