This card's colour palette is made up of three retiring colours: Pale Papaya, Mango Melody & Pear Pizzazz. Ink pads, cardstock, markers, ribbons, and more are now available in the Last Chance Sale. Get your favourites before they disappear!

To make the card, I started by stamping the citrus fruit outlines from the Sweet Citrus Stamp Set onto a Basic White Cardstock panel in Pale Papaya Ink, using Clear Block E for the large stamp. Then I stamped the inside of the fruit in Mango Melody and also added 3 sets of leaves in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I finished by stamping my sentiment in Pear Pizzazz Ink onto a 3/4" x 3.5" scrap of Pale Papaya Cardstock, cutting chevron shapes in both ends.

Next came die cutting. I used the Sweet Citrus Dies to cut out the fruit and leaves. Then I used the largest circle in Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out a circle from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock.

Here's a look at the terrific Sweet Citrus Bundle, which includes a Hybrid Embossing Folder. The dies will work in the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine - but you'll need the standard-sized machine for the embossing folder.

This card employs a bookbinding fold - which is actually very easy to construct. I simply cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock in half lengthwise, to 4 1/4" x 11". Then I scored it at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4". I folded the card in half on the 5 1/2" score line, then bent back the front of the card toward me at the 4 1/4" line. I opened the card and applied Tear & Tape Adhesive to the inside of the 1 1/4" x 4 1/4" scored area and adhered it to the interior of the card (the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" part of the card with no score lines).

Next, I adhered a 1" x 4" strip and a 4" square of Rain or Shine Specialty DSP to the front of the card. This retiring paper has wonderful colours and is super-cute:

To finish the assembly, I layered on my circle, stamped, label, oranges, and leaves, popping pieces up as desired. Then I tied a bow in Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon, securing it with a Mini Glue Dot, and I embellished with Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
