Sweet Peaches!

 

You're a Peach Card Class cards

We had a wonderful time during my virtual You're a Peach Card Class on Saturday!  I'm so grateful for my stampin' friends that craft with me!  These are the three cards we made shown above.  Scroll through this post to see them up close and find out about the inspiration for these cards.

Card Map card

This card was based on a "card map" using two strips of Designer Series Paper cut at 2" x 5-1/4" and a die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the center for the focal point.  The Pale Papaya & White 1/2" Ribbon ties it all together!  We used a sponge dauber to give the peaches extra depth.  Click here to watch my video from my last Facebook LIVE to see how to do that!

CASED it!

I was inspired by the Sweet Strawberry card that Stampin' Up! provided to us Demonstrators as a sample for the Sweet Strawberry Bundle.  I added more ink colors for my class card and let the stamps do the work!  

Seriously, these peaches are aah-mazing when you add a little extra ink with a sponge dauber to the stamp before you stamp onto the paper!  And that little sparkle in the Sweet as a Peach stamp set is the inside of the flower blossoms.  And speaking of sparkle....have you noticed the sparkle of the Artistry Blooms Sequins on all of the class cards?

Fun Fold

Our last card was a simple fun fold card.  Cut off a portion of the front of the card so you get a peek of some You're a Peach Designer Series Paper attached to part of the inside of the card.   You also get some floral images in this suite of products (stamps, dies, paper) in addition to the peaches!  And there's a Happy Birthday sentiment stamped on the inside of the card.  I love the mixture of fonts used in the sentiments from the stamp set...typeset and cursive!

Well, my You're a Peach card class was a success and I'd love to add some more friends to our lil' stampin' circle of friends for my next class!

Contact me if you'd like to participate and also if you'd like to get my exclusive Bloom Where You're Planted card kit.  Six cards (2 each of 3 designs) using Bloom Where You're Planted Designer Series Paper and coordinating cardstock and embellishments.

Join me for class...You're Sweet as a Peach!

These were the cards I showcased on tonight's Tuesday Night Stampin' Club.  The peaches from the Sweet as a Peach stamp set are so beautiful!  You can add a little more shading with a dauber to get more depth and realistic effect.  

Watch the Facebook Live video replay below to see how I added the extra color.

The Kits Are Coming! The Kits Are Coming!

I'm so excited about the new KITS COLLECTION! 

Available starting June 1st 

Do you or someone you know insist they aren’t artistic or crafty? These all-inclusive kits were designed for beginner crafters or those looking for a quick creative fix. They are a fun and fast introduction to all that it Stampin’ Up! has to offer— creativity, community, and personal growth.

Some are brand new and some may look familiar...they are past Paper Pumpkin kits that have been reconfigured.  They are available while supplies last and can be purchased through my online store beginning June 1st.  More kits will be released in the future.  

I'd love to host a Kit Class with you!  You can gather your friends in-person to craft together or we can get together virtually!  It's so fun to craft with friends and family near and far!  Contact me to set a date and get more information.

Join me for a virtual Kit Class on Friday, June 25 at 6:30 pm

*Be sure to scroll down for the video replay link to see these projects in action!

The Notes of Cheer Card Kit is a new one!  It is a non-stamping kit...so no stamps, no ink pad...for just $12 (plus shipping and tax).  It's a great way to do a little crafting for a low price point and even makes a GREAT GIFT!  I love that there are sentiments in other languages!  The World Language teacher in me will definitely put these to good use!

No Matter The Weather Card Kit 156977

No Matter the Weather was a timely Paper Pumpkin Kit that was released in March 2020...just in time to send some cards to locked-in loved ones!  You can use the elements on a colored cardstock base to make a full-size card...which is just a bit bigger than the notecards included in the kit.

Cultural Diversity United Through Creativity

The World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development is a United Nations-sanctioned international holiday for the promotion of diversity issues. It's celebrated on May 21.  

In honor of the first Stampin’ Up! value statement: we care about people first —and in the spirit of World Diversity Day—we’d like to celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity! Stampin’ Up! has created a free digital download for us to print, add color, cut out, and use to create!  

Caring about people first means treating others with kindness, respect, and equal consideration. It means working together towards a common goal, helping each other through life’s challenges, and celebrating one another’s accomplishments. It means including others, even when we disagree, have contrasting life experiences, or simply see things differently. 

The elements featured in the United Through Creativity Digital Download were created in the spirit of World Diversity Day—a day for each of us to join together and understand the value of cultural diversity throughout the world. And, to celebrate our unique community of crafters!  The United Through Creativity Digital Download features inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual sentiments and illustrations that represent the multiple markets Stampin’ Up! engages with. And, it’s free for all!   The digital download will be accessible through my online store under the “Sales & Specials” tab.  

Click on the image below to get your download!

Print your favorite pieces and use them to create cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper projects! We hope you’ll enjoy celebrating diversity, connection, community, and creativity with this sweet selection of inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual elements.  

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating our one-of-a-kind community through the unifying force of creativity! Share your projects on social media using the hashtags:
