Fresh Fruit

I'm going to continue my tour through my favorite retiring  sets. Again this Whole suite was one I didn't play with enough and hoped would make another year. Look at the colors in this suite....look at it! LOL I love love them. The stamp set is Fresh Fruit and it has some wonderful matching Designer Series Paper called Fruit Stand which just happens to be on sale. So you'll want to get on over to my store....(you can click the links above) and get these wonderful sets before they are gone. This again is one of those sets that has a lot of versatility to it. Not only can you do these fun fruits with it....but the lemon one can also be used as a flower! Yes...and I just love the two-step stamping aspect of this set. Two-Step stamping makes it so easy to create great card results by layering the inks instead of always having to color them in. BUT if you look at the outline images that are included here you can do the coloring book style coloring or even watercoloring of the images if you want also. You don't want to miss out on this set. I mean look at the great sentiments included with it. It's a great addition to your library of stamps. So hop on over to my store and get these product before they are gone. They have a tendency to sell out fast so don't miss your chance. Once they are gone they are gone for good.

BSU083116

It's another BSU challenge and this month has a fifth week in it for us so that means we get to showcase a 3D project. I'm not big on 3D projects so when this happens I generally pull out my giftbox punch board. Tada....yup a gift box. I received these lovely products a while back and have just now been able to pull them out and take them for a spin. I don't know what it is about the fruit sets but I always just fall in love with them. This set used today is called Fresh Fruit. 

I started with a peice of 8x8 designer series paper from the fruit stand pack. If you haven't eyed this pack you need to, It's just gorgeous. With my 8x8 peice using the gift box punch board, I punched and scored at the large line all the way around the page. I then fliped the paper and punch the second set of notches. Don't forget to turn the board around and punch your corners to get the hooks to hold your box together. Once I was done with that I pre folded all my score lines and the box just easily folds together. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS BOARD.....GET IT! hahaha it makes whipping up a treat box so much easier! I mean look at how adorable this box is and it was literally a 10 min project. Gotta have it! 

I then took a square of Whisper White card stock and stamped my lovely lil peach in none other than Peekaboo Peach and Cucumber Crush inks.  I then stamped my sentiment....also in this same set... across my peach. I hole punched the corner and slipped a length of Whisper White bakers twine through it to tie it onto my bow of Cucumber Crush mini striped ribbon. Then just like that, I have this adorable little gift box.
