Fruit Paradise Kit, New Collage Sheets, Mini Book, Resin Cabs & Sale!
Filed under Back in Stock, Collage Sheets, Fruit Paradise Kit, Giveaways, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Sale
New Fruit Paradise Kit
Ah… summertime! This is a very colorful kit, filled with a mix of fruit, a bit of vintage French ephemera, and parts to make a miniature tabbed book!
Inspired by the new Fruit Paradise 6×6 Paper Pad: double-sided designs with a vintage fruit theme. Colorful yet French/romantic. And some butterflies mixed in with the lemons, cherries, pears, etc. (The kit includes 1 each of all SIX papers from the pad).
The kit also includes:
– a set of the new 3-page 3×4 Tabbed Book (note the size: the pages without the tabs are 3″ x 4″ so it’s a good size for including ATCs (bound into the book or attached to a tabbed page or tucked into a pocket)
– THREE new collage sheets all with a miniature fruit theme (note: that’s 3 of the SIX new collage sheets announced today!)
– 2 bronze 25mm binder rings & a bronze butterfly clip
– Resin embellishments (2 fruit cabs: strawberry and orange slice; and 1 each of 2 colors of leaves).
Whew. That’s TEN different items in this month’s kit!

The “Tutti-Frutti” Book by Rhonda Thomas!
Design Team Member Rhonda Thomas has made a such a cute, little (fun) book from the kit! And I love that photo of Carmen Miranda!
 |
You can see the tiny size of the book from my photo of the coordinating pockets set you can see at right (one pocket with a slot at the very top, one with the slot on the side, and one with a more standard pocket half-way down the page).
From Rhonda’s blog post:
I love how the monthly kits over at Alpha Stamps can inspire you into directions that you never considered before. I love it even more when my project all seems to flow together with vintage goodies that I have collected over the years.
This past weekend, I just happened to come across this photo of Carmen Miranda while out treasure hunting and scooped it up because it was calling to me. Now I know why. Look at all of these fruit yummies!
I was suddenly hearing Carmen singing in my head as I began to create this cute vintage fruit 3×4 Tabbed Book. It is included in the July Kit along with these tasty Fruit Paradise 6×6 Papers.
Be sure to visit Rhonda’s blog for more fun photos and check the Giveaway section below for another photo of Rhonda’s project, plus a chance to win lots of the items from her supply list!
