You're The Zest

You're the zest! If you're looking to add a little zest to your next card making project, make sure to check out the new Fruit Slices bundle from Scrapbook.com.  I used some of the dies included in this bundle AKA mini card making kit, to create this card.

You're The Zest card by Juliana Michaels featuring Scrapbook.com Fruit Slices Bundle, Fruit Slices Coverplate Die, Fruit and Umbrellas Die and You're So Sweet Stamp Set

Here's a look at what's included in the Fruit Slices bundle from Scrapbook.com. You can find a full supply list for my card at the bottom of this post.


To create my card, I switched out the colored cardstock for a custom Distress Spray Stain background and added a stamped sentiment. For the step by step details, keep reading.


1. I started by creating a background using Distress Spray Stains in Twisted Citron, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed on a piece of Distress Watercolor Paper.
2. I then die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Fruit Slices Coverplate Die and adhered that to my spray background.
3. Next, I used the Scrapbook.com Fruit Stand die to cut out the orange slices, lemon slices and leaves from white cardstock. I then inked the layers with Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed Distress Ink.
4. After the die cutting and inking was completed, I assembled the layers and then adhered the die cuts to the card front using 1mm foam adhesive for some dimension.
5. For the sentiment I used the Scrapbook.com You're So Sweet stamp set.
6. To complete the card I adhered Gina K Designs Clear Quartz Sequins for a touch of shimmer and shine.

A Crazy Idea with Distress Embossing Glaze

Have you ever had an idea, that you knew was crazy and would take forever, but just had give it a try? Well, that’s exactly what happened with the card I’m sharing in my latest. When I saw the Wheel stencil from Tim Holtz, I knew I wanted to create a rainbow of color through the stencil and I wanted to try doing it with Embossing Glaze. Once that idea was planted, I just had to give it a try even though I knew it would be a slow, time consuming process. And once I started and could see the potential, I had to keep going! In the end, it turned out to be one of my favorite cards to date!
