I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Citrus stamp set bundle and some of the fun new colors that will be available with the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog beginning May 2 to create a quick thank you card to share with you today.  I made this project out on Instagram this morning and you can see it here.

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #581.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card stock with the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder.  Then I stamped the large fruit images from the Sweet Citrus photopolymer stamp set in Lemon Lolly and Bubble Bath inks (both available May 2) two times on a panel of Basic White card stock.  I cut the images out with the coordinating Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered the die cuts to the embossed panel with Mini Glue Dots.

***The bundle pricing for this stamp set will go away on May 1 so pick up your bundle now and save yourself a few $$!

I stamped the leaves and flowers images from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist (available May 2), Lemon Lolly and Flirty Flamingo inks on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut them out with the coordinating dies from the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder.  I adhered the die cuts with Mini Glue Dots to the embossed panel and then trimmed the overhang so that the die cuts were even with the edge of the embossed panel.  I adhered the embossed panel to another panel of Basic White card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink (available May 2) on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I adhered the die cut sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish it.

I adhered one of the leftover fruit pieces to a panel of Basic White card stock with Mini Glue Dots and then trimmed the die cut even with the edge of the panel to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
