One of the FREE Sale-a-Bration products available with a qualifying order of $60 is the Fruit Salad 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.
When I first saw this, I thought, "meh"...not really a fan. But then I saw a few samples and decided I needed to give it a go, and here is the result:
Pretty cute, yes?
Each page of the collection features different fruits - apples, pears, bananas, cantaloupes, citrus, kiwis and pineapples. There's also a "mixed fruit" page.
So I sat down and started some fussy-cutting, cutting out each of the fruits (one per page--I'm not crazy! 😂)
Then I had to decide what to do with them all, and a card was born.
I needed a fruit basket in which to keep all these fruits! And so I made one. Simple - just a rectangle of Pecan Pie with the sides trimmed on a diagonal and run through my trusty Cut & Emboss machine with the Cane embossing folder. Then I used the brand new Everyday Arches (what a terrific set!) to make a handle.
And then the fun began - trying to squish in all my fruits and still be able to see them all!
Once in place I added my full basket to a 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" piece of Floral Delight patterned paper, and then adhered it all to a 5" x 10" (scored in the middle) piece of Pecan Pie.
So sweet! And now that I've played with the different fruits I'm starting to get ideas for my next card.
Fruit Salad can be yours with a $60 purchase of any Stampin' UP! products. Place your order today and you'll be on your way to creating your own fruit basket!
