Tutti Frutti Cards

These cards won't form part of the Creation Club, as I was playing around with the full range of colours that compliment the Tutti-Frutti Suite. I have the Brights colour set (the card stock and the ink pads) as well as the In Colours, and a lot of other colours coordinate with the DSP so I wanted to give them a burl.

This card was made using Sweet Sugarplum card stock and the greeting is stamped with the Sweet Sugarplum Classic Stampin' Pad. The DSP is from the Tutti-Frutti stack, the little piece of card stock behind the greeting and the ink used to stamp the fruit are both Rich Razzleberry. The circle was punched with a Stampin' Up punch, I can't now remember which size I am sorry.

I really like this greeting and this DSP. The card stock is Rich Razzleberry, the DSP is one half sheet of Tutti-Frutti punched with the 2.5" Circle Punch. so that green is the other side of the same DSP. The greeting is stamped using the Stampin' Spots from the Suite, so Lemon Lime Twist (stamped twice for deeper colour) and Soft Suide ink. The pear was made using the stamp set from the Suite, the same ink as the greeting, and the pears are punched our using the Itty Bitty punches.

I think the pineapples are going to be very popular in this set. The card on the left was made using a strip of Daffodil Delight card stock and a Stampin' Write marker in Lemon Lime Twist. I drew a long thick line with the thick end of the marker and went along with the Itty Bitty punch punching out pineapples.

For the fruit basket I used the photopolymer stamps from the Suite, the Stampin' Spots from the Suite (Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede) and the fruit has two step stamping in this set. The basket was made by using again the two step stamp in the set, I inked the solid part of the basket first with Daffodil Delight and then lightly with Soft Suede, the lines I did twice with Soft Suede. I didn't get the lines quite directly on top of each other but the look still works. I stamped the basket on a separate piece of card stock and then cut it out with a pair of scissors and that is why you can't see the fruit that is below the line of the basket.

The greetings for both cards are the Soft Suede Stampin' Spot from the Suite, and a greeting from the Fruit Basket stamp set. The card base for both cards is thick Whisper White Card cutting three from one piece of A4, so they are 10cm wide and 21cm long, scored at 10.5cm. The DSP is a 3" x 3" square from the same piece, the stripes are the back of the pineapple piece. I have used the 2 inch circle punch for the fruit bowl.

This card was made using Tangerine Tango card stock for the base and the ink for the strawberries and the greeting. The green is Bermuda Bay, also part of the Brights colour family. The paler strawberries were 'stamped off' first (which just means I stamped a piece of scrap before stamping the card stock for the photo). I used the 2 and 2.5 inch circle punches for the greeting and the piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock behind the greeting.

I made that folded piece of DSP by cutting a piece of DSP in half on a slant, then scoring at 1, 1.5, 2.5, 3, 4, 4.5, and 5.5 inches.

This piece of DSP is certainly popular on Pinterest. I have used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie card stock for the base of the cards here, and that black dot pattern is the flip side of the card. I also used Pumpkin pie to stamp the Happy Birthday greeting and the strawberries.

I used the Stampin' Spots for the rest of the stamping, so the strawberry tops are Lemon Lime Twist, the lemon slices are Daffodil Dlight and the pear is Soft Suede. I 'stamped off' the pear to get that paler colour. The little hearts are Real Red and the yay! greeting and the basket is Soft Suede. I punched the circle with my 2" circle punch.

These are the punches and the Stampin' Spots, I love both of these products as they are easier to use than their full sized companions, and they give my customers more choice with less cost.

This citrus paper is very popular too. The card stock is Peekaboo Peach, the greeting is also stamped with Peekaboo Peach and that piece of paper behind the greeting is the slip side of the citrus DSP. The DSP is a 3" strip, which I then trimmed (as it was 3" x 6") and used part of the trimmed off piece to make that highlight behind the greeting. the citrus wedges are stamped using the Stampin' Spots.

I think the banana DSP is super cute. That stripey strip in the middle is the back side of the DSP, the greeting was stamped with Soft Suede and the card stock is Daffodil Delight. I have used the Itty Bitty punches to punch out a pineapple and a strawberry.

The watermelon paper is on Bermuda Bay card stock. The greeting is stamped with Real Red and the Itty Bitty Punches were used to cut out the strawberries. Both these cards are using a half of the 6"x 6" DSP, so a 6" x 3" strip. The watermelon card in particular was super fast.
