Perfectly Pears – Celebrate

Hi again! One more card for today…don’t you love Sundays…

This time around I am playing with: Double Trouble (#202) 3-2-1 Recipe with Twist; CAS Colours & Sketches (#571) for the Palette; and the Freshly Made (#709) Sketch for a clean and simple card.

Here is the result:

PERFECTLY PEARS BUNDLE – BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES – STRIPES & DOTS – DT202 – CC&S571 – FMS709

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
  • Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock.
    • The greeting, Time to celebrate, from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, still available but now on the Last Chance List, was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Copper Embossing Powder.
    • The panel was then dry-embossed with the retired Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
  • Banner: (4¼” x 2”) Basic White cardstock.
    • The Stripes image from the Stripes & Dots stamp set was stamped with Pecan Pie ink and then trimmed to (4” x 1¾”) and flagged with the retired Triple Banner Punch.
  • Focal Image – Pears: (5½” x 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
    • The Large Pear Outline image from the Perfectly Pears stamp set, an On-Line Exclusive Product, was stamped three times with Pecan Pie ink.
    • The Large Pear In-Fill image was inked with Crushed Curry ink and using Sponge Daubers, Calypso Coral and Timid Tiger inks were added to the image for subtle coloring before stamping.
    • The Leafed Stem Outline image, from the same stamp set, was also stamped with Pecan Pie ink.
    • The Leafed Stem In-Fill image was added with 2nd Generation Pecan Pie ink (stamped off once), and the Leaf only was restamped over top with Crushed Curry ink.
    • Both the Pears and the Leaf Stem were die-cut with the coordinating dies from the Perfectly Pears Dies set.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch with the center Pear popped up with Dimensionals.

Time to celebrate the Fall with sweet succulent Pears.

  3. These pears bring back memories of childhood… remembering the very green pears and waiting anxiously for them to ripen and turn color… these are perfect color of ripeness. Nice subtle embossing, texture and great coloring. Beautiful card and thanks for sharing your delicious recipe with us at Double Trouble.

  4. The warmth and richness of your pear trio is absolutely captivating. I love how the subtle daubing of Calypso Coral and Timid Tiger brings a gentle glow to the Crushed Curry base—such a thoughtful touch that elevates the autumn palette. The copper-embossed sentiment adds a celebratory shimmer, and the striped banner grounds everything with cozy charm. This layout is beautifully balanced, and the center pear popped with dimensionals draws the eye just right. A truly elegant nod to fall.
