Is there anything better than a sweet, juicy peach? I am a peach lover so when I saw the You’re a Peach Suite in the Stampin’ Up! catalog I grabbed it. Just look at all those lush colors in that Designer Series Paper!
To begin with, the You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper is probably my favorite paper in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. And furthermore I was feeling fancy today and wanted to create a special card to go with my mood. My first thought was a fun-fold card and after doing some research I decided on a pocket card. I love how my card turned out.
One of the rules I set for myself when creating a card is that it should have at least one embellishment or some kind of trim on it. I rarely break that rule and in this case I wrapped a length of the luxurious Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya around the pocket. Secondly, I added a sentiment tag to the front of the pocket using a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. And thirdly, because I was in such a fancy mood, I embellished the tag with die-cuts and paper flowers. All those layers really give this card an elegant feel.
Finally, for the pocket card insert, I layered pieces of Pear Pizzazz, Pale Papaya and Basic White card stock. By leaving the top of the insert bare there is plenty of room to add a stamped sentiment or a handwritten note later.
