Gift Box with Cards

and Gift Tags

Hi Everyone,

I was so inspired by our nice spring weather, that I decided to pull out the wonderful Fresh Fruit Stamp set by Stampin' Up! to create these gift boxes with note cards and gift tags. Fresh Fruit is a retiring stamp set that is wonderful. The texture of the stamps really gives that sunkist summer look. I saw a similar set on Pinterest by Olga Cavanaugh. She used the Fruit Stand DSP and another fruit set too. You can find the dimensions on her blog. One of the things I really like are the note cards and envelopes. You get 20 pre-scored cards with the envelopes. I hope you like my version of this great project. Be sure to share or follow me to keep up with my posts.

Watermelon Wonder and Pear Pizzazz are perfect for strawberries.

I love the flowers in the Fresh Fruit set. Daffodil Delight
and Peek-a-Boo Peach are a great combo.

You can get some color affects by "kissing" or tapping into
another color after you've inked in a lighter color. This was done
with Pear Pizzazz and Tip Top Taupe.

 This set can make the perfect gift for a friend or simply keep for yourself when you need a card or tag. I also used a couple of stamps from different sets. "You are Remarkable" is from the Remarkable You Stamp set. The "For You" came from the Birthday Blooms Stamp set.
