Kiwis and Tangerines

This week’s Splitcoast Challenge (SC227) once again had me reaching for Stampin’ Up!s Designer Series Papers. Urban Oasis, Urban Garden and A Walk in the Park all contributed Kiwi Kiss patterns which coordinated fantastically in this design. Of course, with Stampin’ Up!s “Buy Three…Get One Free” promotion, you can purchase three Designer Series Papers or 12″ x 12″ Textured Card Stocks and get one free. Hungry for Kiwis and Tangerines? The guilt-free recipe is as follows:

• Begin with a 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ Kiwi Kiss card base. This is a size that lends itself to easily balanced designs!
• Next layer the Kiwi Kiss Fifth Avenue Floral paper from the Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper directly onto the card base.
• A geometric Kiwi Kiss design from A Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper was selected for the horizontal panel and matted onto Kiwi Kiss card stock.
• The vertical panel, also matted on Kiwi Kiss, is from the Urban Garden Designer Series Paper collection.
• Tangerine Tango was punched using the Eyelet Border Punch to add contrast.
  The Stampin’ Up! Little Leaves Sizzlits die and the Big Shot was used to cut two leaflets from Tangerine Tango, which were adhered to the vertical panel.
• As a final touch, the Leaflet Soho Designer Hardware Brad was attached to a white 1-1/4” circle layered on a Tangerine Tango scalloped circle punched using a Nestabilities die and the Big Shot.
