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.

Utilize your Scraps! Favorite things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Paper Crafting Ideas / March 4, 2022

I am totally loving the angled look on our cards lately, but what I love even more is uses my scrap pieces of designer series paper to create fun cards. I love our 6 x 6 paper and now I love it even more because super easy card was created with the left over pieces from a previous project.

I had several 2 x 5 ½ pieces of designer series paper left and I simply cut them in half on the diagonal. This time I cut corner to corner as opposed to the off set angled cards we created last week. I started with a Flirty Flamingo card base and added my scrap pieces of designer series paper to a 3¾ x 4¼ panel of Basic Black cardstock. I did trim my angled pieces just a bit to fit the Black cardstock.

I added a greeting using Memento Black ink and then a few simple Matte Black dots for some added dimension. I guess this is what you call clean and simple stamping – Stamps, Ink, Paper and Embellishment. #simplestamping

I would love to see your simply simple creations. Give it a try, it is a lot of fun!

Dahlia Days -Thank you for Your Kindness

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / March 1, 2022

Isn’t in amazing how one random acts of kindness makes a difference. I always feel good when I create a special card and just send it out for no reason. I know there are lots of ways to show kindness, but what can I say I love making cards.

I was so sad when the Delightful Dahlias retired a few months ago, but I have to say I might love this baby dahlia bundle even more. These flowers are so sweet they make it easy to say thank you, thinking of you, or so sorry for you loss.

Today’s card begins with an Evening Evergreen card base. I added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock and used some of our designer series paper to create an angled card. I really am loving the look of these card fronts and what a great way to use our leftover designer paper.

The flowers are stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. I stamped the greeting in Memento Black and attached it and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent ink on Soft Succulent cardstock and cropped with the dies from the Bundle.

Project Supplies and Measurements

Evening Evergreen CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base)
Very Vanilla CS-4 x 5¼, 3 x 4
Daffodil Afternoon DSP- 4¼ x 4¼ (cut on angle)
Soft Succulent CS: 3 x 3
Dahlia Days Bundle
Flirty Flamingo Ink
Memento Black Ink
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive

I hope this cards inspires to you send spread a little kindness today. Happy Stamping!
