Hi guys!!! I have a really fun post for you today!!! Yes, more fruits!!! It's definitely a trend and I love it! (hint, I'll have more fruity fun on my blog in a couple weeks too! Ha!) It's just such a fresh and cheerful theme for Summertime… I have always enjoyed crafting with a fruity feeling. Got out my Copics for this post and had a blast coloring everything just so…. I forget how much I love to sit and color!! Today is day three of a giant blog hop celebrating the brand new June 2023 release from our friends at Pretty Pink Posh!! So happy, as always, to be included in the hop line up. Welcome to my stop today! I have THREE cards to share with you and I cannot wait to get started!! Prize information, hop list, and supply lists are at the bottom of my post. Thanks for joining me today! XO

My first card is a strawberry explosion! This card features the brand new Fresh Berries Stamp Set and matching dies!! OHHHH my gosh! I also added in some little bees from one of my favorite PPP stamp sets of all time. A little bit of big gingham and we're good to go! My finished card is an A2 white card base. I layered black, then gingham, then vellum and white….
Here's a side view of my layers and a close up of the bottom of the card. For the berry basket I die cut out five baskets and then stamped the top one and colored it. This gives a LOT of dimension to the basket and makes it look 'real' to me. Did I mention how much fun it was to color these?? 🙂
And a close up of those deeelicious berries!! Lots of white gel pen accents here…and yellow enamel dots for the flower centers too!
I wrapped twine around the berry basket and added a little heart to the bow. I looooove details.
Let's talk about how adorable that sentiment is!! And a matching die cut too!! Love it BERRY much!!
My second card today is a POP UP! I have been obsessed with the PPP pop up box card die since it was released and I can't stop making these easy and fun pop ups!! This card features two more new sets – Watermelon and Citrus! I used the sentiment from the Summer Friends stamp set too!! I did some ink blending to look like a blue summer sky (or maybe a swimming pool!)…. The folded pop up card fits into an A2 sized envelope. Again, lots more Copic coloring. Yay!
I started by stamping oranges and lemons and limes and watermelons!! I die cut them out and colored them in. I also added white gel pen accents. I also added some sparkly gems to some of the fruits. Why does this make me want a mai tai?! LOL.
I die cut the pieces for the pop up box out of juicy green cardstock. I die cut the accent pieces from white cardstock and used distress oxide ink and a blender brush to add blue shading… I stamped the sentiment on the front panel in rich black ink.
Here is the folded card in my hand to show you the size and scale. I cannot recommend this die set enough. It is SOOOO easy to make these fun pop ups!
I staggered the fruits inside the pop up panels and glued some on and used foam tape on some. I put the larger fruits at the back and tried to make it so they all show up. It's an explosion!! And this makes me happy.
My last card for today is a wee notecard featuring the brand new (awesome) Mini Scallop Card Dies set!!! It is a two piece set that makes the folded card and the smaller square front panel. This is going to get used a lot!! I used the Sweet Cherries stamp set to make the cherries. I used the brand new Smile Shadow Dies to make the sentiment…. A bit of ink blending…. and that's it! The finished card is 3" x 3" – would be perfect for gift bags or table place cards….
I die cut out the card from some gingham from my stash. I ink blended the top of the square using oxide ink….

Dear Wanda – Love how the black/white background on card #1 makes the aqua, reds and greens POP on the berry card. In card #2, all the citrus colors are so gorgeous together. The blue is a perfect complement to the other colors. The last card is so pretty – love the gingham and that scalloped edge is amazing.
