You’re a Peach fun fold swap card

I actually love to create swap cards.  There's something rewarding about creating multiples of the same cards.  

How do swaps work?  I know many people are curious….  You create one design and make multiples of it; usually for as many of that card as there are people in the swap.  Swapping saves so much time and you get samples using products you don't have to buy. There are so many benefits of swapping but for most of us, the main reasons are it's fun and to get samples we didn't have to design.  

I have gals in my Flowerbug's Team that join just so they can swap! Right now the JOIN+ offer is so great I hope you'll consider it if you are not already a Demonstrator.  The value is incredible!  If you have a wish list over $150 you really need to consider this!

I created the card below for a Flowerbug Team swap this month.  My gals can take part in our monthly swaps if they'd like to.  It's a great opportunity to get a variety of cards to use or share.  

For this card I used the You're a Peach suite seen here.  It's on pages 60-61 in the Annual catalog. 

Sweet as a Peach Save

The card base is Pale Papaya and I added Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral and White accents. The greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.  I layered it with Pale Papaya CS. 

You might wonder how I achieved the 'blushing' peach image.  I inked the three peaches (all on one stamp) in Pale Papaya and before I stamped I sponged on a bit of Calypso Coral on the outer edges of each. 

Here's the sequence of stamping the main image:

  1. Stamp the leaves image twice on the White CS using Pear Pizzazz ink.  I stamped off once first. 
  2. Ink and stamp the peaches using the technique mentioned above.  
  3. Add Balmy Blue ink all over using Blending Brushes.  Be sure to use a light hand and start off of the card stock. 

Here's a look at the inside:

  • Pale Papaya card base 5 1/2" square, score at 4 1/4"
  • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
  • Whisper White – 2 pieces.  Front is 4" X 3", inside is 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"

  • Painted Poppies in a window

    Adding dimension and interest to a clean & simple card can be a challenge.  Adding a window with the Stitched Nested Label dies does it easily.

    Painted Poppies window Save

    I had this window piece in my bag of White scraps, so it was extra easy to make this card. I used the Stitched Nested Labels; which are a 'must have' in my opinion. Next time you want a die-cut, consider die-cutting it in the center of a larger piece so you can use both pieces! 

    The top White piece is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", the second White layer is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8".  The Granny Apple Green piece is 1 1/2" X 5 1/2".

    Just like yesterday's card I used my Dark Poppy Parade blends marker to color the new 1/4" White Crinkled ribbon for the bow. Both of the images are stamped in Black Memento ink. I colored the green leaves and bud with a Granny Apple Green Blends marker.  The poppy flower is colored by stamping with one of the stamps in the Painted Poppies set.

    The greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts stamp set; it's free with any $50 order right now during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see all of the free items here. 

    I love the new Peaceful Poppies suite and have created 10 project sheets to send to everyone who places an order in January.  Details below:

    It's the sheet of paper on the far left above.

    I cut the paper at 5 1/2" across and above the flowers.  Then into 3" strips.  Now I have 8 panels of flowers ready for cards!  

    I made two cards here adding a 1" X 5 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade on the left and a white punched border using the Decorative Ribbon Border punch. The cards are Old Olive cut at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"

    The greetings are from the new Sale-a-Bration set 'Sending you Thoughts' on page 11 of that catalog.  You can see it here. The punch they're stamped on is the Timeless Label punch seen here.  

    You might wonder where I found that pretty crinkled Poppy Parade ribbon. It's the new 1/4" White crinkled ribbon that I colored Poppy with my Dark Poppy Parade blends.  I LOVE being able to color my ribbon the exact color I need for my projects!
