The new One Of A Kind release from Simon Says Stamp went live earlier this morning. I’ve got two cards to share with you using one of the new stamp sets – Dancing Fruits. I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used.

ONE OF A KIND RELEASE

First though, let’s take a look at what is included in the new One Of A Kind release.

DANCING FRUITS – SUPPLIES TWO WAYS

I do love to colour a good fruit and was drawn to the Dancing Fruits set. I thought it would be fun to use the same supplies for two cards but use them to get very different results. Both cards use:

• Simon Says Stamp Dancing Fruits
• Simon Says Stamp Thoughtful Messages
• Simon Says Stamp Wonky Rectangles die
• watercolour card
• Watercolours
• Versafine Onyx Black ink
• Simon Says Stamp clear embossing ink
• Simon Says Stamp Schoolhouse Red card
• Simon Says Stamp white embossing powder

The only supplies that were different between the cards are the card bases (Neenah Solar White vs Neenah Desert Storm), I used Antique Linen Distress Ink for a no-line watercolour look on the second card and finally the accents are different (Pretty Pink Posh droplets vs enamel dots).

I started this summery card with a piece of watercolour card and stamped the lemon, apple and pear from the Dancing Fruits set multiple times with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I used a loose watercolour technique to colour the fruits and also watercoloured the background in a summery blue. I splattered the panel with left over paint and a solution of Perfect Pearls.

When dry I cut the panel with a Wonky Rectangle and then stamped a birthday sentiment from the Thoughtful Messages set. I completed the sentiment by stamping the ‘happy’ in clear embossing ink on Schoolhouse Red card, white heat embossing and trimming to a skinny banner before foam mounting on the panel. I foam mounted the finished panel to a white card base and then accented with Pretty Pink Posh droplets.

As a contrast to the summery birthday card I used the same supplies to take this versatile Dancing Fruits set from the summer in to the autumn. Again I started with a piece of watercolour card and stamped the pear, apple and lemon from the Dancing Fruits set with Antique Linen Distress ink. This ink is light enough in colour that as I watercoloured the lines disappeared to give a no-line watercolour look.

I loosely watercoloured a neutral background to the fruits and splattered lightly with left over paint. When dry I cut the panel with a Wonky Rectangle and then stamped the Thanks sentiment from the Thoughtful Messages set in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Again I completed the sentiment by stamping the ‘happy’ in clear embossing ink on Schoolhouse Red card, white heat embossing and trimming to a skinny banner before foam mounting on the panel. I foam mounted the finished panel to a kraft card base and then accented with enamel dots.

New products always sell out fast initially so if there’s something you want then grab it quick. You can check out the One Of A Kind release here.

I’ll be back soon as part of a hop to celebrate the new release. You can see a sneak peek of the card I’ll be sharing here.
