Stampin' Up! Fruit Basket - stepped up

Hello, here are the details of the second C & C project for this week using a bundle called Fruit Basket.

We've had lots of fun with this card - the micro beads were a big hit on Tuesday, Bev went online and ordered some as soon as she had finished her card!

Lots of stamping and punching to create lots of fruit ... they are really quick to make and can become addictive!

So much fruit in fact that I used some on the inside of the card and on the envelope - how extravagant am I?  I used some of the Tutti Fruitti Washi tape to give the fruit something to 'sit' on.

The Foam Adhesive strips make light work of shaker cards and, there is less chance of any gaps and bits escaping!

I think the tiny micro beads look like bubbles ...

I couldn't resist adding a die cut straw to my fruity drink although I am now thinking the straw would have looked better in a different colour perhaps?

Here is the completed card and envelope - shaker cards are so much fun and, you can add all sorts of bits and pieces to them.  I made one recently with coffee beans and, as a bonus it smells rather nice too!

Thanks to everyone who joined me this week for some fruity fun, lots of lovely cards made this week - here are some of the cards we made today.

Details of the products I used for this project can be found at the end of this post.  Next week for Coffee & Cards we will be using an exlcusive Hostess Only stamp set called Tranquil Tulips - I will post details shortly.

I'm all packed and ready to travel to Telford along with hundreds of other SU Demos from around the UK.  I'm so excited, I will take photos and share some of the excitiment with you when I can!

Hope you have a crafty weekend.
