Juicy Fruit Cards for Spellbinders

I have a pair of cards for you today for Spellbinders that simply make my heart sing. I love pairing black and white stamping with focal colors. The Sketched Citrus peel apart background stamp from Simon Hurley and Ranger Ink are perfect for this! I was totally inspired and love the sketchy look of those stamps. Scroll down for more on my creative process. You'll find a full supply list of clickable shopping links at the end of this post as well, 'cause I know you are going to want some of these goodies!

To begin, I stamped a couple A2 sized white card panels with the Sketchy Citrus stamps, then trimmed both card panels at an angle. I'm only using the bottom portion of my trims and will save the tops for another day.




I also ran a pair of A2 sized colored cardstock through my Platinum 6 using the 3D embossing folder, Circle Illusion. It's important that both the stamped card panels and the embossed card panels are the same size, for this project since we'll be laying the angled stamped cardstock on top of the embossed panels. 

Also, the lime colored card panel was from one of my Spellbinders card kits so I'm not sure of the color. I did find Peridot on the Spellbinders site which is close in color and linked it in my supply list. I thought these colors best complimented my colored fruit.





Next, I stamped and colored up some of the pull apart stamps from the Sketched Citrus stamp set. Yes, these pull apart! I think it's so clever that Simon does this with a lot of his stamp designs. It gives you so much versatility.

I broke out my Copic markers to color up these juicy oranges. They could be peaches too, it's totally open to interpretation. When finished, I used the coordinating dies to cut out 4 of the oranges and four of the leafy stems.






My sentiments are from the Simon Hurley/Ranger Ink Watercolor Flowers stamp and die set that was released at the same time. I stamped and die cut the "Hello" and Thank You" words, but hand trimmed the word "friend".





Most of my images and sentiments are popped up on adhesive foam, for added dimension. I did tuck one of the leafy stems behind my angled stamped cardstock, adhering it directly onto my embossed cardstock.


I thought about adding some sequins as added embellishment but honestly, I really don't think it's needed. Sometimes less is more!



I'm so happy that my lovely friends at Spellbinders sent this to me, as it has really sparked my desire to get on the fruit bandwagon, so to speak, haha. I hope you'll give these techniques a try. I know you will love this stamp set as much as I do.

See you later and stay crafty! Terri
