Pink by Design July Release Blog Hop

Yay!   It's new stamp release day over at Pink by Design!  Woot, woot!  Welcome to the July Release Blog Hop!  If you've come from Julie's Blog, you are in the right place.  If you've just stumbled upon my post ans would like to start from the beginning, head on over to the Pink by Design Blog.  I've got a couple of cute cards to share with you today with a brand new PBD stamp set.  Here they are:

For these cards, I used the newest stamp set I designed for Pink by Design: Orange You Awesome.  The fun thing about this set is that the fruit comes with interchangeable faces.  You can make the fruit cheesy, sad, or sweet.  Or, you can opt to leave the faces off.  So many possibilities with these guys.  

Here are the details of the cards:

The sentiment, banana, and face all came from the Orange You Awesome set.  I stamped the sentiment on a shape I had left over from another project.  The banana is pretty large (this card is 5x5"), so I stamped it on yellow patterned paper (since I'm not the greatest with my Copics yet).  I stamped the face on the banana, then I stamped a second one on white paper, trimmed around the eyes and teeth, and adhered it over the yellow.  That seemed like the best way to make them white. :) I added some hearts from the Pink by Design Girlfriends Stamp Set, some ribbons, and some doodles, and this fun little card was all done!

This little card measures 4x4".  I decided to use the sad face on my strawberry so I could use the I'm Berry Sorry sentiment.  The strawberry, face and sentiment all came from the Orange You Awesome set.  I stamped the strawberry on red patterned paper and on green paper, trimmed around the strawberry and stem, then added the face.  She's layered on a scalloped circle punch and popped up with foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment on a banner from Pink by Design's Everyday Banners set and added some stitches from Pink by Design's Sew Lovely Stamp Set.  Then, I just added a little ink, and this sweet little card was finished!
