Saturday Blog Hop: Casing Melissa Davies 2026

Hello! Thanks for joining us on our Create with Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop! We love creating for you to give you some inspiration in your own crafting.

Did you know that we're on Instagram? You can follow us here @createwithstampingfriends.

This week we are continuing with case-ing each other's cards and I was thrilled to find this card made by Melissa. I love the 2024-2026 In Colors and this is a great way to showcase them all together! Such a cute card!

Products Used

• Colour Combo: 2024-2026 In Colors. Can you believe these colours will be retiring in just 2 months?! I love these bright, summery colours and I am really going to miss creating with them.

• Bundle: 'Made with Sweetness'. This is a coordinating bundle to go with the 'Homemade Sweetness' Suite Collection and it is just so fun! I loved making this card and showing off all the fruit.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Card Base:

   1. Cut Thick Basic White to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".

   2. Score in half at 4 1/4".

2. Card Front:

   1. Cut Basic White Cardstock to 5 1/4" x 4". Emboss with your favourite embossing folder. I used the 'Forever Plaid' 3D Embossing Folder. Add to card front.

3. Details:

   1. Cut out your collection of fruit with the 'Made with Sweetness' Dies and add to card with dimensionals.

      1. Strawberry - The base is the light side of Pretty in Pink Two-Tone Cardstock. The top layer was made by adding Pretty in Pink ink to Basic White cardstock using a Blending Brush and then cutting it out. Stem is Summer Splash Cardstock.

      2. Lime - The base was coloured with Shy Shamrock ink, using a Blending Brush on Basic White. The top layer was cut out from Shy Shamrock cardstock.

      3. Blackberry - Same technique, but in Petunia Pop. Stem is Summer Splash.

      4. Peach - Same technique, the peel and rind were cut out with Peach Pie cardstock.

      5. Cherry - Cherry is cut out from Pretty in Pink cardstock and the stem is Shy Shamrock.

   2. Sentiment

      1. 'So berry' was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on the light side of Petunia Pop Two-Tone cardstock and cut to size.

      2. 'Sweet' was stamped in black on Basic White, fussy cut out and then I added some Petunia Pop with a Blending Brush.

   3. Finished off with the 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls.
