KS Bananas Limited Edition Box

For my first project I created a simple layered card. I trimmed down a piece of pattern paper from the box kit and layered it on top of solid yellow and blue cardstock. I also matted a strip of white cardstock on top of solid yellow and blue cardstock. I stamped the sentiment “You Are One In A” in coordinating ink. I stamped the “One” in blue ink to make the word stand out more. I also made a matching envelope with the coordinating washi tape.  I stamped the sentiment “I’ve got my eye on you” and an eye stamp on the envelope flap for a little extra humor. The patterned paper included in this Bananas limited edition box is fantastic!

This banana cardstock is also included in the box’s wonderful paper pack. I used my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Cricut Design Space to make the banana cut outs for this awesome shaker card, which also showcases the beautiful shaker mix included in the box. I propped the characters with foam tape to add dimension to the card. I also made a coordinating envelope for this card as well. 

The rest of the cards feature the other four characters in this stamp set: three little girls and an evil dad!

For my third card I created an ink blended background with Distress Oxide inks that coordinates with the three different personalities of the little girls. I used stitched circle dies to create white contrasting backgrounds behind the little girls to make them pop. Last I adhered the sentiment strip “Sisters Make the Best Friends” with foam tape. 

For my fourth project I made a card featuring the evil dad. I used my the Print and Cut feature in Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Explore Air 2 for the moon image. I used my distress oxide inks to create a spacey background. I matted a strip of white cardstock on top of silver metallic cardstock. I heat embossed the “Let’s Steal The Moon” sentiment with silver embossing powder. I am really happy with how the skin tone blending turned out with this character.

For my fifth project I started by creating a fun card background with the KS Chevron stencil and distress ink. I also used the distress ink to create the ombre-looking background behind the carnival scene. I colored the carnival scene die cut with copic markers and a white gel pen to give the card a more whimsical feel. Last, I stamped the ‘sisters’ sentiment that I used previously on the inside of the card. 

For my last project, I wanted to make a generic card with the new metal die. This card could be used for any occasion. I used acetate to attach the carnival outline to the front of the card. I used distress oxide ink to create the sunset background behind the die cut. I personally love the contrast between the white cardstock and the bright background.
