Sweet As a Peach-Thank You!

Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / March 23, 2022 / Sweet as a Peach, You're A Peach

The You’re A Peach Designer Series paper pack coordinates perfectly with the Sweet As A Peach Bundle in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. See page 60 for more details on this “sweet” suite! My card today features this paper pack and the a small peach from the bundle.

The card base and the ink for the baby peach is Calypso Coral. I added a strip of the paper on the left side to create a sweet and simple thank you card.

The tag was cut using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I also stamped and cropped a small peach to add to the tag. The leaves on the tag are stamped directly to the white cardstock in Pear Pizazz. I just love the vibrant colors, it really does make me think of spring and summer. I am so looking forward to a real fresh peach!

Don’t forget the retired list for the 2021-2022 catalog will be out later today, and once that list is live, I will be sending out a newsletter to all my followers. I will also post it on my blog tomorrow.

Let’s Celebrate You-Celebrating Sunflowers

4 Comments / Happy Birthday, Just Because Cards / March 22, 2022 / Celebrating Sunflowers

Tomorrow is the big day-Stampin’ Up! will announce all the retiring sets in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. I know we all have favorites that we hope will not be retired. What is your current favorite set from the annual (aka Big) catalog? Leave me a comment on your favorite set in the annual 2021-2022 catalog and if I have that set, I will do my best to create some cards for a post later this week.

I actually have so many favorites this time I cannot choose just one! LOL But if I absolutely had to choose I guess it would be the Celebrating Sunflowers on page 17, but I also love the Sweet as a Peach on page 61 and Welcoming Window on page 15! See what I mean, super hard to choose.

Today’s card is from Celebrating Sunflowers. I began with a Daffodil Delight card base and added a layer of Basic Black. I used the Blending Brushes on a layer of Basic White to create a soft blue accent on two of the corners with Pacific Point ink. With Memento Black ink I stamped a large sunflower in one corner and several small ones in tow of the other corners.

The Sunflowers are colored with our Watercolor pencils, but the Stampin’ Blends would work well too! I stamped the greeting in Memento Black ink and mounted it to the Basic Black layer on the card front. You could step it up by adding a few Matte Black dots, but I decide to keep my clean and simple.

I love it when a card comes together quickly. The trick for this card is to apply the Pacific Blue color with several light coats using the Blending Brushes. Use a soft touch to add the ink so you will get a light, smooth look. Use the Blending Brushes to add a touch of color to your next project.
