VIDEO: Sweet Friend Pineapple Card with Yana

Hello friends! This is Yana and I hope you are having a fabulous week!

The Summer Citrus stamp set has me incredibly inspired these days - I cannot seem to stop using it (I’ve already shared several card designs and have just as many ideas left).

Watch my video tutorial:


Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

I started working on this card by stamping 4 pineapples using the "rock & roll" technique onto white paper. I used Hayride as my light color and Wild Mango as my dark color. I double and even triple stamped some of these to have deeper shadows.

Next, I cut the pineapple images out using companion dies and stamped the crown using Last Leaf and Appletini. Because this image consists of 2 parts when using a companion die it’s best to stamp one part, cut out and then stamp the 2nd part (or you can cut the shape out first and do stamping later).

I also stamped and cut out 2 little flowers using Little Piggy and Sweet Gelato colors. I love that this set has this flower included with the fruits, it adds quite a nice touch to the stamped projects.

After I foam mounted 2 bottom pineapples onto a white cardstock panel cut to 4 x 5 ¼” I stamped "Hello" from the Hand Lettered Hello stamp set in black ink. To stamp the same word onto the other two fruits I aligned them on my panel, inked up the “Hello” stamp and carefully stamped onto the fruit. Using a stamp positioner tool like MISTI or similar can really simplify this process, but I didn’t care to use it at that moment and stamped it the good old way by eyeballing the placement.

I foam mounted my 3rd pineapple in place and before I added the 4th one I cut it in half and only added the top part onto my card.

Why did I do that? When I was making my original card (I’m making a duplicate on video) I messed up the bottom part of that 4th pineapple and left a visible ink stain. I didn’t want to re-stamp another pineapple, so I resolved to cut the stained part off. I’m happy I did, because this added a unique twist to this otherwise simple project.

To finish this card I adhered my panel onto an A2 top folding card base made out of Oatmeal cardstock (I love using this cardstock for card bases lately); stamped a number of “ink splatters” onto the card using a dot cluster stamp from the Summer Citrus set and foam mounted a “Sweet Friend” white heat embossed sentiment on top.

Have fun stamping!
