Good morning! Yep, I know it sounds crazy, but honestly stamping with fresh fruit isn’t mad at all – look at the amazing cards you can make when you use the new Fresh Fruit stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I have used this set so much this summer, it’s popping, on trend, easy to use and works for all occasions – so today I have a couple of examples and a video to show you!

First off, the plain old stamping is so much fun, strawberries (upside down sometimes when I do them), pears, peaches and oranges – they’re all there and if you get bored stamping with fresh fruit, you can make them into flowers instead!!! Notice the watercolour effect of the stamps – so clever and matches the paper beautifully!

Stamping with Fresh Fruit (Resist Technique)

I loved the idea of rind and oranges so much I decided to use the resist embossing technique to make them really shine! Watch my quick 5 minute Quick Tip Technique video to see how to recreate it.

The ingredients of this card are so simple but it really does look great in the hand and I’m sure would bring a smile to anyone who received it. Add any sentiment you like for whatever occasion you need, it’s what I call a multi purpose card.

2. Peekaboo Peach cardstock cut to 14.4 cm x 10 cm
3. Old Olive cardstock cut to 13.9 cm x 9.5 cm run through the Big Shot with the Large Dots embossing folder
