SugarPea Designs February Release Day 3 {I could just SQUEEZE you!}


 Welcome to Day 3 of the SugarPea Designs February release sweet peeks! Have you enjoyed days 1 and 2? I want to thank you for all of your sweet comments! They truly brighten my day and I love hearing from you! Today the team is showcasing a darling set called Tutti Frutti that is just bursting with possibilities! I've created a card that is "fruit cocktail" inspired in color and feel! You'll want to check out how the rest of the designer's blogs as well to see the creative ways that they have used this set. The sentiment possibilities are endless with this new set!

I have two designs to share with you today so make sure you scroll to the end of the post to see the other card. To begin this card, I did some ink blending using Distress Oxide inks; Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar, and Worn Lipstick. After I had it blended, I die cut it using theEyelet CoverPlate. The die cut pattern reminded me of fruit seeds, which pairs perfectly with this design. 


I kept the dies all connected and ran them through my die cut machine a few times so that I could get a lot of fruit. I didn't have an idea in mind when I was creating the fruit, but I knew I wanted to stamp each of the pieces to get a feel for how they look. I had such a fun time stamping them all using my Mini MISTI. 


I die cut the circles using the Zig Zag Stitched Circles SugarCuts and then layered the individual fruit pieces using foam squares. I left one circle blank so that I could stamp the customized sentiment; I think it is perfect for this design. I added a sparkling clear rhinestone or two to each of the pieces of fruit for some sparkle and shine. I also spritzed it with Shimmer Spray after I took the photographs. I learned my lesson with my record card yesterday! LOL! 

My second card is VERY simple, but I added a few special touches here and there. Since I had stamped so much fruit, I had a lot of pieces of each individual fruit available, so I thought it would be fun to make this "perfect pear" card. I used the Card Front Element Builder SugarCuts for the Kraft and Green panel. I did some ink blending using Distress Ink. Once it was blended, I used the heart from the Postage Stamp SugarCuts to create the heart focal piece. I die cut some white hearts and stacked them all together. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of Kraft cardstock and nestled behind the pair of pears! I added a few sequins as well. Thanks for fluttering by!
