The whole peach suite of products is simply beautiful. These peaches stamp so well. They look yummy to eat. I love how the stamping gives you all the shading and highlights of each fruit. My grandmother used to make peach jam, it is quite hard to find in the supermarket but delicious if you do find it.

We made this easel card in a recent card club and I thought I would share it with you. Card club happens each month in my Facebook Group via a Facebook Live. I’ve never been a big fan of fancy fold cards but I am trying to chance this and was so pleased with how this turned out. This is the beautiful “Sweet as a Peach” designer series paper (DSP). I also made a second colour way using the Sweet Symmetry DSP.

Isn’t this little guy cute? He is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. He is such a friendly little guy, just makes you smile. The stamp set is Turtle Friends and of course has a matching punch. I love my punches and have quite a collection of retired punches as I struggle to destash them. They are convenient and don’t require any other tools to use.

Who has dreamt of flying into space? Those of you of a certain age will remember making rockets with Fairy washing up liquid bottles. Unfortunately they have now changed the shape but many a child impatiently waited for the bottle to finish to make a rocket. I loved playing like that, we didn’t need lots of toys as a good imagination did the trick.

This box looks more complicated to make than it actually is. It really is very easy. It is another of the projects we made in a recent card club in my Facebook Group. I wanted to share it with you. I am trying to expand the range of gift boxes and bags I make. So what is a girl to do for inspiration but go on Pinterest! I found this little box on there and just adapted the measurements and decoration for my tastes.

I don’t think anyone can deny sunflowers are gorgeous. They make you smile and a field of them is truly spectacular. I love watching the Tour de France each year and when they go through parts of France you see these glorious fields of sunflowers. A truly picture-perfect moment.

This card is a little shaker card using the mason jar shaker domes. I’ve coloured everything in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers which as you know are one of my favourite colouring mediums. I find colouring so relaxing and had great fun making this card.

Do any of you remember a series on Tv called Rainbow Brite. I had the doll and few other bits if I recall correctly. I think I also did a tapestry of her but not sure where that is now. Rainbows are magic to me. There is a scientific reason why they happen but to see one in the sky is magic.

In the new catalogue Stampin’ Up! brought out some soft pastels and I’ve been dying to play with them. They are beautifully soft and creamy. I blended them with water and then went over the image again with pastel to get a better blend. It is definitely a learning curve and I know I am going to have fun learning and playing more with these new colouring mediums.

  • Shimmery White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10

Although I am writing this blog in June it will go out in July. The beginning of July heralds Wimbledon and of course strawberries & cream. I’ve already had some delicious strawberries this year. I’m not made about cream so had iced cream instead. We have some local pick your own strawberry farms here but with just my mother and I we wouldn’t be able to eat all we would pick in time.

I love this bright, bold and fun card. It is right up my alley. I cut two pieces of designer series paper to the same size and then cut them into triangles. Both pieces were cut at the same time so they were exactly the same size and cut in exactly the same place. The little Polished Pink gems on the sentiment look like little rivets to me holding it in place.

I’ve always loved playing with ink and paint and enjoy mixed media art. This is my version of a mixed media card, Stampin’ Up! style. I find mixed media art so freeing as there is no mistakes, just more chances to be creative. There is right or wrong way, just what makes you happy and looks go to you. All crafting would make you happy but mixed media makes me especially happy.
