Kelly shares, “There’s something so wonderful about the sweet summer harvest and celebrating the delights of the season! This card was created with that in mind; juicy raspberries, sweet cream, and the shimmer of foil make this card look good enough to eat!”
STEP 1: Foil an A2 panel of Raspberry Fizz cardstock with champagne foil and the Merry Motifs Hot Foil Plate. Add some Raspberry Fizz and Scarlet Jewel ink around the corners with a blender brush.
STEP 2: Adhere the background to an A2 white card base using liquid glue. Add the scalloped ovals to the center with foam squares.
STEP 3: Cut and color the pie. Glue it together and add it to the center of the background using foam squares.
STEP 4: Cut and color the berries and leaves. Arrange around the pie with liquid glue and foam squares.
STEP 5: Cut and color the flowers. Add them with liquid glue and foam squares.
STEP 6: Stamp the sentiment in black. Cut it out and add it under the pie using foam squares.Â
STEP 7: Add glitter for sparkle and shine!
This beautiful project is a wonderful celebration of the simple joys of summer. ✨ From the shimmering foiled background and realistic pie slice to the vibrant berries and layered florals, Kelly’s thoughtful details create a card that’s both elegant and inviting.

Hi Kelly–This is such a beautiful card, and it would be great to use this idea in a recipe book. Please tell me which die you used to create the raspberries. I love the texture on them. The way you colored them makes them look very 3D and real. Thanks for sharing!
