Less is More wk26 - feeling fruity

Well, I haven't missed a week yet, so although this week's Less is More challenge threw me completely I still had to come up with something!  Chrissie and Mandi would like to see 'fruity' creations this week...


I couldn't think of anything I could use at first, but then I remembered a pack of food/ baking related die cuts that came free with a magazine - hurrah!  Embossed a scrap of red card with a Stampin Up embossing folder, attached a square of card under the die cut image, set an eyelet with my poor neglected cropadile and added some gingham ribbon. Sentiment is from Pink Petticoat, cut out with the Stampin Up word window punch.  It's not very inspired I know, but at least I've managed to make something lol :o)

Apologies for being such a rubbish blogger this weekend, I've just been so busy!  I'll catch up with you all soon I promise!

    Lovely card Lisa, I bought the stampin up embossing folder after seeing your creations but am ashamed to say it is still in the packaging, might dig it out tomorrow after seeing your creation.

    Hi Lisa I am afraid I have to disagree with you I have found this creation very inspiring certainly has given me an idea or two. The colours are perfect, love the embossed red card and the image I think this is one top notch card.

    Hi Lisa, great card - love the colours. I stayed out of last weeks LiM and I think I'll stay out of this - just don't have any ideas at the mo. Hopefully it will work for me next week. Sarah

    You've made it all look effortless though! Your embossed panel reminded me of a fruit basket so goes very well with your cherry tags. x
