Alrighty…This is a loooong post that shows my weird train of thought and the roundabout ways that I get inspired! So, the story starts last week, when, out of the blue I got a sweet email from the Editor of Papercraft Inspirations (The biggest card craft magazine in the UK). She asked if it would be okay if she featured this card in their magazine!!! I'm like, um, yeah!
One of my goals has been to be published in a magazine…but I have been too chicken to submit anything. I don't care how long I've been stamping, I just don't want to be rejected. I need to get over it (but that's a story for another time). I guess their magazine has a feature in which they show cards from people's blogs! Yay! I will keep you posted, and let you know when the issue comes out!
I decided to hop over to the Papercraft Inspirations Blog to check it out…and I saw THIS adorable card from Humble Chan!! ACK. Seriously I had a cute meltdown! I knew that I had to find time to put my spin on this!!! (What is it with me and the cute fruits lately?) The ones on Humble Chan's card were store bought embellies, but I thought "I can make those!" Okay, so that is the roundabout way that I came to make these:
I made all of these in just a couple of hours!! Really, it's just circles!! I used all my nice PTI felt and my circle nestabilities and went to town. The black for their eyes is jet black enamel accents. I used some Tacky Glue to put them together. Could not be simpler! OMG… I love this project. Totally makes me smile. I wish I had more felt…I woulda made a bunch more. Get it? A bunch more! LOL!
Kinda makes you want a margarita, no?
He reminds me of the Fruit of the Loom guy!
This one is my favorite!
Not too many supplies really….
Look at them posing…
I got to thinking, and I remembered that I have this nice words set from PTI that has a saying about a peach! AYYYYY. I found the stamp set and then I HAD to make this CAS card!
We will have to examine my fruit fetish later, but for now I hope this made you smile too! Have a wonderful, sweet day!
