Peachy Pie!

I love the Sweet as a Peach bundle!  When I saw the suite, it reminded me of my grandfather.  He always said, "Peachy Pie!"  I started by making one of the cute jam jars.  I covered it with dsp (about 1-3/4" x 8-1/2").  I tied Pale Papaya ribbon around the jar.  Then I stamped the peach with Pale Papaya ink and used a sponge dauber around the edges with Calypso Coral, and die cut it.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Black.  Then the peach was popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Easy peasy!  

I ended up making three cards.  The first was on a Basic White base.  The striped dsp was cut at 4 x 5-1/4" and the polka dot dsp was cut at about 1" x 4".  I used the Sweetly Stitched dies and stamped the sentiment in Pear Pizzazz.  The peaches were stamped in Pale Papaya and sponged with a dauber in Calypso Coral.  I adhered one of the peaches on the label and the other was popped with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I tied the same ribbon around the dsp.  Champagne Rhinestones were used to embellish.

The second was on a Basic White base with dsp cut at 4 x 5-1/4".  I added a piece of the striped dsp 2-5/8 x 4-1/2" to make the tag stand out.  The tag was cut with the Tailored Made Tags Dies and I used Seaside Spray by mistake.  It is supposed to be Balmy Blue!  Since there isn't a lot of blue in the dsp, it looks fine. I sponged the small pieces and leaves and die cut them.  I used the same combination as the big peach.  The leaves are Pear Pizzazz.  I added the same ribbon in the tag and tied it with white baker's twine.

For the third card, I decided to use the right color.  My base is Balmy Blue.  The dsp is 3-3/4 x 5" and the tag is Basic White.  I added a striped banner (3/4" x 3-1/2").  I kept the ribbon and twine the same and added some 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.  They are my favorite!!  This time I stamped flowers in the same colors as the peaches.  I popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals and wished I had done the same with the peaches.

Expressions in Ink 2

I mentioned I would be posting another card with Expressions in Ink soon (two posts ago).  Here it is!  This time, instead of using the die, I used the stamp set.  I started out with a base of Soft Succulent.  I stamped with Polished Pink (large flower) and Pale Papaya (smaller rose type flowers), and I thought it needed another color.  I decided to use Blackberry Bliss for the tiny flowers.  The dots were stamped in Evening Evergreen.  The sentiment is from Artistically Inked (part of the Expressions in Ink Suite).  I used Evening Evergreen on Pale Papaya, cut it into a rectangle and added a piece of the beautiful Shimmery Vellum under it.  

After seeing how shimmery the vellum looked, I decided to splash some Wink of Stella all over the panel.  It's so hard to see in the photo. Let me know what you think!  I love reading your comments.

Color and Contour

 The Color and Contour bundle is one of my favorites from the new catalog!  It's so versatile.  I love the dies, stamps and sentiments!  The dies have an incredible amount of pretty dies you can use with any stamp set.  

On this customer thank you, I started with the new Polished Pink cardstock.  I then cut a piece of Pattern Party (host only) designer series paper with the Color and Contour dies.  I also cut the next smallest die from Basic Black, and then cut it into strips and adhered to the dsp.  I stamped the floral image twice with Memento and Polished Pink, and die cut.  One is adhered to dsp and one is popped with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The sentiment die and stamp are from this bundle as well.  They were popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals, and I finished with some Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials embellishments.

Expressions in Ink

 As soon as I saw the new annual catalog cover, I knew I'd be ordering the Expressions in Ink Suite!  Isn't it gorgeous?  I love the colors and the design.

For my card, I used a Polished Pink card base with a Basic White panel.  I gently applied the new In Colors with my Blending Brushes.  Then I die cut the white piece and adhered it over the color. I sort of eyeballed the colors.  You could also use the die to apply the color, but you would have the outline.  Still pretty, but I wanted solid color.  I finished it off with Metallic Pearls (gold) and a sentiment from the Many Messages bundle. I inked that up with Memento black and cut a bunch so I had them ready. I hope this isn't too bright for a sympathy card. Let me know what you think!  

Check back for another Expressions in Ink card soon!
