Fresh Fruit Card Set Gusseted Envelope

This is a great gusseted envelope to keep all of your Fresh Fruit cards we made this week! The Envelope Punch Board makes this card holder a snap!

Craft with Beth: Fresh Fruit Gusseted Envelope Fruit Stand DSP Stampin' Up!

This envelope has a gusset, so it has more dimension to hold all of your cards and envelopes. The finished dimensions are 6" by 4-1/2" by 1-1/4". To add the height, there will be two punches on each side of the envelope. Start by cutting a 9-3/8" by 9-3/8" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.

Using your Envelope Punch Board, line your cardstock up to the 3-1/2" line, punch, and score. Line your cardstock up to the 4-7/8" line, punch, and score. Once the initial punches are made, you don't need to measure again. Use the score lines you just made as the guides for each subsequent punch.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.
Burnish all of your score lines.

Place strong adhesive such as Tear and Tape or Fast Fuse along two bottom edges of the left and right flaps. Fold up the bottom flap, securing the bottom flap to the two side flaps.

Add some hook and loop tape to the back of the top flap as a closure.

The front panel was made by layering Flirty Flamingo cardstock and Fruit Stand DSP. I used the largest scallop oval and the second largest oval to make the center embellishment.

Adhere the front panel to the front of the envelope and you have a fantastic gift!

Peachy Orange Peel Technique: Fresh Fruit Card Set Part Six

The last card Kim Williams demonstrated is an all occasion note card with a scrumptious, embossed peach in the center! When I first saw her demonstration, I was truly amazed!

Craft with Beth: Fresh Fruit Stampin' Up! Fruit Stand Orange Peel Technique

Kim called this technique Orange Peel. She said it didn't have a name, so she made one for this gorgeous technique! When the watercolor paper is embossed, it looks like the dimples on the orange peel! This is definitely a WOW card!

Let's cut the paper. You'll need Emerald Envy, Fruit Stand DSP, Whisper White, and Watercolor Paper.

Orange Peel WOW Peach Card Measurements

Color
Dimensions
Card Base
Emerald Envy
11” x 4-1/4”, scored at 5-1/2”
1st Mat
Fruit Stand DSP
5-1/4” x 4”
Circle
Watercolor
2-1/2”
Banner Strip
Emerald Envy
2” x 6”
Inside Mat
Whisper White
5-1/4” x 4”

Adhere the Fruit Stand DSP to the Emerald Envy card base.

Stamp the Banner Strip with either the striped image from the Playful Backgrounds stamp set or the Brushstrokes background stamp with Emerald Envy ink. Then punch one end with the Triple Banner Punch. Position and adhere the Banner Strip the Fruit Stand DSP as shown in the photograph. Trim any excess the overhangs the top of the card.

Fill a spritzer with water.

Press the peach image into the Peekaboo Peach ink pad. Then daub Flirty Flamingo ink along the outside of the peach image. Stamp the peach in the center of the watercolor circle. Putting two colors of ink onto the stamp adds fantastic depth and shading! Wow!

Press the solid leaf image into the Pear Pizzazz ink pad. Then daub Emerald Envy ink along the bottom edges of the leaf image. Stamp the leaf above the peach.

If this wasn't gorgeous enough, spritz a bunch of water all over the watercolor circle and watch the colors meld! While the paper is still wet, generously coat the entire paper with clear embossing powder. Heat the embossing powder to reveal the orange peel effect. Swoon! Allow the paper to fully dry and cool before attaching with dimensionals to the center of your striped banner.

Craft with Beth: Fresh Fruit Stampin' Up! Fruit Stand Orange Peel Technique

You can really see the two colors on the peach here inside the card! I daubed just the left edge and the left center of the peach and the bottom edges of the leaves. Experiment with where you place the second color and how much you place to find the look you like best.

Yep! This peach looks almost good enough to eat! I hope you have enjoyed all six of these fabulous Fresh Fruit cards by Kim Williams! On Stage 2016 was overwhelming in a great way with amazing products and demonstrations! Now I'm sure you can see why I was so excited to attend! Makes you want to become a demonstrator too, doesn't it?!?

If you would like to make any of these cards, please contact me today to schedule a private class.

Wait! There is more! Next time, I will show you how to package your card set in a delicious looking case!
