Berry Bliss & Slice of Summer Fruit Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fruit-themed cards for Summer using our fabulous Berry Bliss Stamps and Slice of Summer Stamps.

First, I have a card using the layered citrus slice from our Slice of Summer Stamps, which I stamped to look like lemon, lime, grapefruit, and orange slices. I then die-cut a stitched circle using our Stitched Circle Small Dies, where I lightly drew 12 spokes on the back with my pencil and clear ruler like I was slicing a pizza or adding clock tick marks to give me a way to evenly space my fruit slices. Then, on the back of each slice, I drew a pencil through the center at the halfway mark to give me another point to line up each slice. I then arranged each slice, having them overlap the outside edge of my white cardstock circle by 1/2". I used liquid adhesive for this task to have a little wiggle room to adjust them before they dried as I quickly worked around the circle. As I was starting this project, I was nervous about my ability to make it look symmetrical. However, the easy measurement tricks I described worked, and I assembled this summer "wreath" rather quickly. 

I then used our Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies to die-cut the striped paper to match the fruit from our Summer Splash Paper pack. After it was die-cut, I carefully used my paper trimmer to trim off the four scalloped edges and leave a small border around the stitching. This gave me the perfect stitched square to layer over the same scalloped square cut from white cardstock for my card base. I cut a second white scalloped square to score along the top and to adhere to the backside of my card front to form my notecard. Lastly, I stamped the greeting from the Slice of Summer Stamps, substituting the word "slice" from our Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies.

My second card pairs the watermelon from the Slice of Summer Stamps with the strawberries, raspberries, and cherries from our Berry Bliss Stamps. I arranged them in and around our Layered Basket Stamps, wrapping twine around the basket and popping it up with foam tape to help it lie flat with the thickness of the twine. I stamped and heat-embossed the greeting "You're so sweet" from our Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps onto a small tag cut with our Sweet Treats Gift Bag Die, which I topped with a twine bow. I also stamped a subtle pink diagonal grid pattern using our Background Basics 2 Stamps with VersaFine Clair Baby Pink Ink to add some interest to my background.

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. Some of these images were previously stamped using now-retired Colorbox inks; however, I spent considerable time trying to find the closest matches to share them here with you (from lightest to darkest).
