Hero Arts | Paper Layering Pineapple Card

Hello friends! Pineapples seem to very hot right now and I’ve been wanting to create a card with a pineapple as a focal point for a long time, finally I have!

I used Hero Arts Paper Layering Pineapple die for this project. Paper Layering is a line of dies that makes partial cuts and allows you to have dimensional pop-up die cuts on your projects. Another favorite die of mine from this collection is Palm Tree, I’ve shared Paper Layering Palm Tree die a number of times already (here, here and here) and I hoping this pineapple die will be a frequent star of my cards, too.

Like this project? Pin it and save for later!

I started by die cutting pineapple in a panel made out of white cardstock. I wanted to add some color to this image, so I used Green Apple ink and sponged green onto the leaves, I used a piece of paper to slide under each leaf to protect the cardstock around it and keep it white.

To add color to the bottom part of this image I die cut an identical pineapple image out of vellum, cut it out with my scissors, used the negative as a mask and applied Butter Bar yellow color to color it. Next I replaced the vellum mask (I made it out of vellum so that I could see what I was doing) and added little drops of silver spray ink from Hero Arts. It looks black in the photo as its very dark silver, it has a bit of shine too.

The sentiment, You’re Killing It, came from Hello Gorgeous stamp set and was heat embossed in White embossing powder onto black cardstock.

I adhered a strip of gold glitter paper onto a tan card base, adhered my pineapple panel and foam mounted the sentiment using black foam tape. I also added several clear sequins and drops to finish this card. Very easy to make and I think its a great one to give to someone to encourage them to continue working towards something.

TO RE-CREATE THIS PINEAPPLE CARD:

• Cut a 3 7/8 x 5 1/2 inches panel out of white card stock. Die cut a paper layering pineapple image in the middle.
• Color pineapple with green and yellow ink using a sponge dauber, mask the area around pineapple to keep it white.
• Mask the pineapple and add silver ink splatter to the white panel.
• Create a top folding A2 card base out of tan card stock. Add a strip of gold glitter paper, adhere pineapple panel.
• Use tweezers to lift up each die cut section of the pineapple to add dimension.
• Heat emboss You’re Killing It or other sentiment in white embossing powder onto black card, foam mount over pineapple.
• Embellish card with sequins and drops.
