You’ll love this Fruitcake!
If you turn green at the though of Fruitcake, not to worry! You’ll love this fruitcake made with the Stampin’ Up! Sweets & Treats Stamp set!
I love working with the versatile Sweets & Treats Stamp set – it’s so much fun to design with!
Despite the fact that I detest fruitcake, I loved making this Fruitcake Card! Rather than go with a more cutesy card, I decided to make it a bit more elegant by using the Fold Foil background and the gold-filled Ribbon. 😀
This card really came together quickly thanks to the pretty paper and using the Stampin’ Blends to color in the images. You can download the complete written Tutorial on how to make this card below. Time to bring on Christmas cardmaking!
