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.

Hello, my friends! Hope you’re having a good week! This month’s ATC Challenge is live over at Happy Little Stampers and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project with you today! The theme for our February ATC Challenge is Fruity and we’d love to see what you create for our challenge this month!

I created a ‘sweet’ ATC this month featuring yummy strawberries! I used Stampin’ Up stamps, ink, paper and cardstock.

I adhered a thin strip of the Fruit Stand DSP to the left side of the ATC, and randomly stamped the strawberry image (from the Tart & Tangy stamp set) in Strawberry Slush ink on the right side. I also stamped five strawberries in Old Olive ink on 60# Hammermill copy paper so I could fussy cut the tops to paper piece onto the stamped strawberries.

I stamped the sentiment on thick cardstock in Peekaboo Peach ink, then inked the stamp up again with Tangerine Tango ink and wiped some of the ink off from around the outside edges with my finger, which yielded a cool two-tone look. I added a narrow strip of Peekaboo Peach cardstock and the sentiment to complete the ATC.

And here’s one more look… loving how this turned out! Awesome colors on this!

I’d love to enter this ATC into the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create: February challenge – Anything Goes w/optional Banners and Bows (no twist)
