The One with the Squeeze the Day and Heat Embossing.

Hello everyone.

Today I am using the Fruitiful Friends and Squeeze the Day Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies from Time for Tea Designs to create this project.

Background

I grabbed red, green, and two shades of blue cardstock and heat embossed the line of both strawberries from the Fruitiful Friends Set and the limes or lemons from the Squeeze the Day set. I used clear sticky ink and white embossing powder. I then cut them into strips. They aren't very straight, I'm ok with it. I used foam squares to pop them up onto the white card panel. Also, I just eyeballed it. I don't think card making needs to be an exact science. Plus, I little wonky is fun and proves that it's handmade.

Sentiment

For the sentiment, I heat embossed "squeeze the day" onto plain white heavy weight cardstock using black pigment ink. I used clear embossing powder. I thought that the sentiment alone got lost in the chaos of the background so, I added some vellum fruits. I stamped them using the same clear sticky ink from before and white embossing powder. I used foam adhesive to pop up the sentiment and to also adhere the fruit behind it.

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Squeeze the Day and Fruitiful Friends Stamp Set and their Coordinating Dies in the T4TD shop.
