Sweet!

Hey everybody! Wishing you all a lovely week coming up! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #72! I created a clean and simple congrats card for this challenge using the Tropical Fruit Dies from CottageCutz! I’ve had these dies in my stash for several years and have never used them, so they came out for a play! I’m still on my quest to use ‘barely used’ or ‘never used’ stamps and dies in my stash this year, and I’ve done pretty well!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I die cut the CottageCutz Tropical Fruit pieces from Basis Natural cardstock as well and colored them with alcohol markers. I added a strip of Eyelet Outlet purple check washi tape across the bottom of the card base and arranged the fruit die cuts on it to ground them on a faux table cloth. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Bravo stamp set in Catherine Pooler Catching Rays ink and outlined the right side of each letter with a Sharpie Dark Pink Ultra Fine Point marker.

I kept the inside clean and simple as well, and stamped the sentiment (also from the Stampin’ Up Bravo stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Catching Rays ink.
