Fruit Salad Puns

 

These projects were seriously pun!

When I saw the Fruit Salad paper the first thing I thought of was how these happy designs would be fun to use for some silly saying creations.  

This is a birthday card/sign using one sheet of the 6 x 6 paper as the background.  

I hand cut oranges and lemons from the paper
and added words from a variety of stamp sets.

The easel is cut 5" x 7-1/2"
and scored at 1/2, 1-1/2, 2-1/2 and 7.

For this Valentine I hand cut the pears from the paper and did a fun-fold card.

The card base is cut 5-1/2" X 10-1/4" and scored at 3" and 6".

The smaller Z fold portion is cut at 3-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 2-3/4" from each side.

Stamp Review Crew: 2024-2026 In Colors

The Crew has something fun and new for you on this hop!  We are featuring the new 2024 - 2026 In Colors.  We are excited to share our ideas with you and hope you enjoy the hop! 

Our basement is decorated in 1960's space age style with turquoise and pink walls.  The new In-colors Summer Splash and Pretty in Pink are a bit brighter version of our color scheme.   Also Tom's latest creative endeavor has been to build a diorama complete with a space ship inside a 1950's TV.     So when I saw the two new stamp sets Tune In and Flying By I knew I needed to try combining these for a fun card just for him!

I started by stamping the alien spaceship and then masking it.  I then stamped the paper airplane vertically over the mask to make the beam of light under the spaceship.  It fit just perfectly in the opening of the TV!  Though you can not see it in the picture I placed a piece of clear window sheet behind the TV opening before popping it up on dimensionals on top of the alien image.

I kept this card pretty simple.  It took me far less time to make than it did for Tom to complete his project! It is just in a temporary spot in the basement now.  His next project is to make a stand for the TV.

Stamp Review Crew: Enduring Beauty

Hello and welcome to the latest Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop!  Our international crew highlights one Stampin' Up stamp set on each blog hop.  Hops are the first and third Mondays of the month and are a great way to get lots of ideas for using a set!

If you click on the banner below you will be taken to the Stamp Review Crew website which has a complete list crew members and you can see all the past hops as well. 

Our stamp set this time is the very pretty Enduring Beauty set.    I chose a simple two color palette of Pretty Peacock and Crumb Cake.  First I stamped the image on Shimmery White Cardstock, colored select portions with Stampin' Blends and fussy cut a few flowers and leaves. 

Next I had fun with the background!   Stamping the grid image from Notes of Nature (tone-on-tone and stamped off once)  then sewing the ribbons and trims in place and finally sewing some extra lines -  some with the sewing machine threaded and some without.   I purposely left the thread tails untrimmed.   

This is my little craft room sewing machine.  It is so cute- just 10 inched wide!   I use it only for paper as the needle dulls when stitching on paper and changing the needle on my regular sewing machine is kind of a pain. 

I'm so glad you have visited today!  Please click on the buttons below to see more ideas for using the Enduring Beauty stamp set.  Up next is Heidi Baks - she always has creative little details in her projects that are delightful!
