Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  This month the theme is “Foodie”.  Cards that have a food type item on them!

CITRUS BLOOMS

I love the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper…so many nice images to cut out…and the various sizes of blue tiles…wow!  I especially love the lemons.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Daffodil Delight cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Beige was added on the front.
  • Two 1-1/4 x 4 strips of Mediterranean Blooms DSP were added to the background offset.
  • The double lemon cluster was hand-cut from the DSP and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Four of the leaf branches were cut from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and tucked around the lemons.
  • The greeting from Citrus Blooms stamp set was stamped with Old Olive Ink on a 1/2 x 2-1/2 strip of Basic White cardstock and the ends cut an an angle.
  • Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the stem with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • Three yellow Shiny Sequins were added to the background.

I love the circles in the Spotlight on Nature Dies…and they worked perfectly with this stamp set!  Check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  This month the theme is “Appreciation”.

CITRUS BLOOMS

I had to pull out my new Citrus Blooms Suite…I was so excited to use it!  But, to keep it simple, I just used the greenery die, some DSP and a couple of the small, stamped flowers!  I REALLY wish they would have included a lemon stamp image, too, because I love this paper!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lolly cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • Two 2 x 4 pieces of the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper were torn across the top and bottom and then added to a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock, then adhered to the front.
  • The greenery piece was cut with the Citrus Blooms Die from Old Olive cardstock and added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Citrus Blooms greeting was stamped with Old Olive Ink on Lemon Lolly cardstock and cut with the Unbounded Love label Dies.  It was adhered to the greenery.
  • Three flowers from Citrus Blooms stamp set were stamped with Daffodil Delight Ink on Basic White and cut with the Citrus Blooms Dies, then added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some yellow Opal Rounds Assortment were added to the center of the flowers.

So simple and love this appreciation greeting!  Check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
