Hello Honey Bee friends! Today I'm here to share all of the fun details of this card I made with the Lovely Layers: Berry Basket Honey Cuts. Our team has made some awesome cards using this set, so I wanted to think of a way to make my card a bit different. I had this great idea to use the Lovely Layers: Wrap It Up bow and some gingham paper and I love how this turned out!
I had a very busy day yesterday with every-day-life stuff and let me tell you, this card came together so easily! I die cut red, blue, green, and Kraft cardstock with the dies in the Lovely Layers: Berry Basket set.
The lemon is from the Lovely Layers: Citrus set and one I had saved from a previous project! I love having these random pieces ready to use! After I added darker inks to the fruits and basket with blending brushes for dimension, I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the layers together.
Next I die cut the Lovely Layers: Wrap It Up bow from a piece of gingham paper in the Perfect Picnic paper pad. So that the reverse pattern of the paper wouldn't show on the inside of the bow loops, I just flipped that paper over to die cut another layer of the bow loops. Then I glued the two pieces together with the gingham pattern facing out. I assemble the bow with glue and use my reverse tweezers to hold the bow in the center until the glue was dry.
I glued the ribbon portion of the Bow to the Berry Basket and used my scissors to trim off the excess on each side of the basket. Then I glued the bow to the basket.
I just love this patterned paper I used from the Perfect Picnic paper pad. It has just enough of the blurry look to appear as if it's in the background behind the Berry Basket! I trimmed just 1/8" of an inch from the top and one side to create just a slim white border on the A2 card.
I stamped two of the sentiments from the Berry Sweet Summer stamp set with black pigment ink. I cut them out with the coordinating Berry Sweet Summer Honey Cuts and use foam strips and glue to adhere them to my card.
I think this gingham bow makes this into the cutest little fruit basket that might be found on a roadside stand! What do you think?
I always so appreciate your stopping by! I hope your day is a good one with some good crafting time!
