Fruit Basket Bundle for Facebook Live

Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you the projects that I made today on Facebook Live, featuring the Fruit Basket Bundle that is retiring at the end of the month. I absolutely love this set and found some fun little treats that worked perfectly with it. There is a PDF at the end of this post with the supplies and measurements.

You can see the video by CLICKING HERE.

First up, I shared this little box that holds some Chewy Lemonheads. I found these at Dollar Tree and they were sold in a pack of 5. They were a perfect match with this suite of products.

The punches in this set don’t include a cherry punch, so I created one using the Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies. I love looking for fun, different ways to use die sets.

I also made an alternate box using a citrus theme, which also works well for these treats. We also determined in my Facebook Live that there are other treats that would fit in the box, with a few modifications to the measurements, like Tic Tac Gum.

The second project I shared is this cute gift card holder pairing up the Fruit Basket stamp set and Tutti Frutti DSP with the (also retiring) Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies.

I added a little pop of texture to the gift bag using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.

The little pull-out card holds a gift card perfectly and you can even write a little message on the card behind the gift card.

The last project I shared was this watermelon gum holder! Although I did have some of the measurements written down incorrectly on the video, they have been corrected on the PDF. Thank you for your patience with my little oops. :)

This Extra Sweet Watermelon gum was also found at Dollar Tree and there are 4 packs bundled in the package. This would also work with any flavor of gum, just change up the colors/stamps, etc. I also added a little space to write on the inside. These would be great little gifts or even a fun idea for a craft fair.

Tutti-Frutti Greetings

Hello there and happy Saturday to you! Well, the first week of 2018 is in the books. That sure flew by, didn’t it? Today I wanted to share with you a card that I created for a swap with a few (ok, 35) of my fellow Stampin’ Up demonstrators. These went out the last week of December and today I received my swaps back in the mail and was blown away by the amazing cards I received.

I am absolutely loving the Tutti-Frutti Suite of products in the new Stampin’ Up Occasions Catalog! I have been using them non-stop and actually am finishing up an all new Class To-Go which I will be posting here on my blog really soon.

This stamp set has the most adorable little images and then there are 4 matching punches to make cutting them out a breeze. I did fussy-cut the bowls which became pretty easy once I cut about a dozen of them. I decided to use the new Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper to make that single pear stand out and play off the “You are the Sweetest” sentiment. If you know me, you know I LOVE some sparkle and in this case, a little bit is all you need. Then I colored in the “stem” very gently with a Stampin’ Blends marker. I added a lot of dimensionals to the fruit and the little basket to make them stand out. They tied in perfectly with the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper, as well.

I added the little doily layer to being a little more texture to the card. One little tip I learned, cats LOVE to destroy those paper doilies. Because of a particularly naughty feline, I didn’t have enough doilies for my swaps. She shredded about 5 of them before I caught her! Thank goodness my awesome upline met up with me to loan me some to finish my cards. Crisis averted!

Here is a look at all of the little bowls of pears while I was in the process of getting my cards ready for the swap. It was a lot of work but when you are doing what you love, it is so enjoyable at the same time. Although I will say that fussy cutting almost 40 of those little fruit bowls made me question my decision a few times. Haha!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a great weekend and can get some time to do something crafty. All of the products I used to create my cards are listed below. You can shop anytime in my online store by clicking on any of the supplies below. Remember that for every $50 you spend right now, you can earn FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog.
