Today I’m sharing a CAS fruity card created with products from the September 2025 Release collection. One product that immediately caught my attention was the Creative Cuts: Fresh Pears Layering Die Set.
This beautiful die set includes three pear shapes, each with intricate detailing. One of the pears is open, offering lots of styling flexibility, while the two closed pears pair perfectly with a branch of lush leaves for a lovely, layered effect. The set also includes delicate little blossoms that add a whimsical, charming touch to any project.
I started by die-cutting all the elements from white cardstock, then used Altenew Fresh Dye Inks along with mini blending brushes to add colour to the selected pieces. I chose to use Olive, Moss, Evergreen, Buttercream, and Rose Quartz, blending them together softly to create a delicate mix of shades and subtle transitions.
For the branches I used Espresso and Mocha markers from Rock Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set D.
I added black ink splatters to the background for a bit of texture and interest then assembled the fruity branch onto the card.
To finish the card I added a shiny sentiment created with One-Go: Solid Sentiment Strips 3 Press Plates/Foil Plates (Gratitude Edition) and Hot Foil Roll - Brass (Satin).
That’s it from me today! I’m the last stop on the blog hop, thank you for hopping along with us all the way to the end. If you missed any of the previous stops, be sure to head back to the Altenew Blog or check out the full lineup below.
Have a great day!
