Zesty Goodness

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, and today I’m sharing a fruit-filled mini slimline card featuring the Squeeze the Day stamp set. I absolutely love strawberries, and there’s nothing quite like enjoying them when they’re in season. Freshly picked strawberries are simply the best!

To create the background, I trimmed a piece of Distress Watercolour Paper to 6" x 3" and sprayed it with Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, and Kitsch Flamingo Oxide Sprays. Once dry, I added a white cardstock frame cut with a scalloped mini slimline die from my stash. I adhered the frame to the inked panel with liquid glue before mounting the completed panel onto a 6.5" x 3.5" card base.

For the focal images, I stamped a selection of images from the Squeeze the Day, Hello Cupcake, Fruitful Friends, Cacti Critters, and I Really Dig You stamp sets. I coloured them with Copic markers and added white gel pen highlights to bring extra detail and dimension to each image.

To finish the card, I adhered the images to the card front using a combination of liquid glue and 1mm double-sided foam tape for added depth and interest.

 Happy Saturday Teatimer’s have you had a good week? I have a super sweet card for you today. I was feeling the pink this week can you tell 😂 

I began by cutting out the A2 Stitched Cover Die and ink blending Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. Then spritzing it with water and adding splatters of the same colour inks to give it some texture. Also adding some gold glitter paint splatters.

Setting this aside to dry I stamped out the Hello Cupcake Stamp Set and coloured it up with copics and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Once they were cut I added some finishing touches with white gelly roll pen. 

I popped them onto the card base adding some dimension with foam tape and double layering the mice so they stand out more. For the sentiment I used the new Bold Sentiments Stamp Set, which I heat embossed with the neon pink wow embossing powder. I love this colour so much it’s super fun. I cut the sentiment mount with the coordinating dies and used the die to cut out some fun foam to add some dimension. I find the fun foam great for fiddly or intricate shapes you can just cut it out with the die and it fits straight underneath. 

After adhering everything I added it on a black card base and that was my card finished up. I’m really loving this colour scheme at the minute it’s perfect for those Valentine’s cards coming up too!
