~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So – let’s start off by taking a peek at this BEAUTIFUL Taste of Summerpaper collection!! 

If you like bright & happy – this paper pack is for you!!!

I always appreciate the SPECIALS that  

Close To My Heart  releases with a special event….and they really did a FABULOUS job this time!!!  J 

This paper packet is FULL of color, and while the fruit designs are adorable...I LOVE the back papers and the designs they have...GORGEOUS!!  

Close To My Heart ALSO created a coordinating STAMP SET for these Taste of Summer papers!!  

This stamp set is a D-size stamp set and can be purchased ONLY during May 2015 for $17.95.  Isn't this stamp set ADORABLE???

I decided to create two cards....both cards have the same design, but I used 2 different fruits for the cards....here they are.  

I pulled out my handy SPRAY PEN and added Whisper re-inker to add some "texture" to the bottom left side of my card.  

I thought I'd show you a close up of the bottom right of the card...

Did you notice the addition of the liquid glass?  What a FUN element to add to your creations!!!  

Here is a close up of the berry card. 
This berry card IS different than the one shown in the picture above....

...I chose to use the pink dotted paper vs. the red plus design to create the berry card too - and decided to add the liquid glass to the top part of the card as well. 

This Taste of Summer stamp set IS Cricut compatible with our Artiste Cartridge - so it makes it VERY easy to stamp this "yummy" banner.
