Samantha’s Avocado Pun Inspired Card

We are loving the yummy projects filling the Fun with Food gallery! This challenge will be open until Sunday August 1 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see how you are inspired by this theme!

Hi friends, it’s Samantha! I had so many avocado puns floating around in my head, so I knew I had to make an avocado themed card!

I used the cute avocado and toaster images from Let’s Toast to feature on my card! They were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut out. I heat embossed the custom, punny phrase with my all time, long time, favorite stamp set Harold’s ABCs! To add the sentiment I used a banner die cut from Black Licorice Cardstock with the Fancy Wavy Banners! I just LOVE the dimension that banner brings to the card!

For the background, I used the Simple Stripes: Diagonal to die cut out from white cardstock. Then I used Distress Oxide Inks in Blueprint Sketch and Cracked Pistachio on every other stripe! For the other stripes, I used Narwhal ink to add some soft, light gray to the edges! Then I splattered water on top of it all. Those bold stripes are my FAVORITE! I love the different techniques you can do with them, and how they make your images pop!

Thanks so much for sharing your punny card with us today, Samantha! I love it!

Hello friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Fun with Food Challenge! It’s the season of campfires, so I just had to use the S’more the Merrier stamp set again, along with the bears from Den Sweet Den. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I started with some Blue Jay Cardstock and blended on Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink with the Cloudy Stencil. I splattered some gold Starry Colors paint on the sky to look like stars. Then I trimmed out the Puffy Cloud Border from Noble Fir Cardstock to create the bushes, and the Grassy Border from Cilantro Cardstock.

I blended some Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide on the grass to give it a bit of definition. Then I cut the trees from the Forest Backdrop from Noble fir and Cilantro and the tent from Build-a-Campsite from Chili Pepper Cardstock and Really Rainbow 6×6 patterned paper.

I assembled all my pieces onto a Kraft card base and added a sentiment with Walnut Ink, which I also used to stamp on the inside. You can check that out in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

Thank you for your adorable inspiration Christy!
