Happy Fri-yay! Wanda is here with a super fun and summery card to brighten up your Friday even more! It’s mouth-wateringly good…read on for all the details!

Hi everyone! So happy to be joining you today here on The Greetery Blog! TGIF! My husband and I love to go to Farmers Markets in the Summertime. We are very lucky to have a lot of great markets nearby (we live in Northern California) and it’s so nice to be out in the cool mornings choosing fresh produce and flowers. The past two weeks at all the markets there have been peaches, peaches, peaches everywhere! So I was inspired to make a peachy keen card to share with you today.

This is a big, square card. The finished size is 5.5″ x 5.5″ and I made the card base by folding and scoring a sheet of Neenah cardstock. I knew I wanted to balance the orange/yellow of the peaches with blue… Orange and Blue are opposites on the color wheel so they always look great together.

I used the Square Dance Stencils to create the background. I only used one shade of ink – and all three stencils – to get a monochromatic gingham look. I stamped and die cut out several peaches using the Peachy Keen Stamp Set and matching Dies. I also stamped and die cut out several leaf clusters. I used the brand new Jumbo Jar Die Cut to make a mason jar for my fresh peaches. The lid is made from Silver metallic cardstock. 

I used the beautiful Fit To Be Tied dies to make a Kraft paper bow for the top of the jar. I splashed and splattered some white paint over the peaches, leaves and background. I assembled the jar, peaches and leaves and set that aside so I could make the sentiments.

I stamped the “you’re a” stamp from the Just Peachy Sentiments stamp set – and heat embossed it in white onto black cardstock. I die cut the word “peach” from white cardstock using the Just Peachy Sentiments die and inked an ombre effect using the two ink colors from the peaches. I used vellum as the background.

After everything was assembled, I added a few peachy colored glitter enamel dots to finish off my project. I do love some bling! I hope your weekend is JUST PEACHY! Can’t wait to see you soon with more projects.
