Slim line Sweet as a Peach Card

 Hello,

Kind of a blah day here... it's raining before the next brutal snow storm. So, I took the opportunity to rearrange my craft room. It took a couple of hours but it seems more functional now. 

I realized I have oodles of DSP. I must get over the hoarding of paper. I should use it instead of saving it....isn't that why I purchased it??? It's just so pretty though.

Today's card is made from my DSP stash. You're a Peach Designer Series Paper. The sentiments and branch with flowers is from the Sweet as a Peach bundle. 

Slim line cards are great for large images or DSP with lots of detail. 

This slim line card measures 7" x 8 1/2", scored at 3 1/2" on the 7" side. I used Thick Basic White.

The Balmy Blue layer measures 3 1/3" x 8 1/4" with a layer of DSP measuring 3" x 8". 

One of my favourite die sets is Stitched So Sweetly, perfect for this sentiment.

As I don't make very many slim line cards, I made the matching envelope. Take a piece of DSP measuring 10" x 10 1/2" and score at 3" and 7" on the 10 1/2" side. Rotate the paper and score at 1/2" and 9". Fold and burnish the score lines. I used Tear and Tape to adhere the flaps, leaving the top flap open. 

Until next time....

Sweet As A Peach

 Hello,

We've been having a lot of rainy days here so I've been in my craft room making cards.

For this card I used the Sweet As A Peach Suite from Stampin' Up. 

The designer series paper in this suite are so pretty and because the sheets are double sided, they are also very versatile lending to other card occasions. 

The sentiment is from the Biggest Wish stamp set. 

Here's a tip: To get a realistic looking peach, stamp your image in the main colour and use a dauber to ink select  areas in a contrasting colour. I used Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral.

Until next time.
