TGIF – The Greetery Inspiration Friday – You’re a Peach!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I'm really happy to be featuring this project here today, and over on The Greetery Blog! TGIF! (The Greetery Inspiration Friday) 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. We are even going to a Peach Festival on Sunday! So this card just seems appropriate! I hope you are having a gorgeous Summer day where you are!
 
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 brand new Jumbo Jar along with those gorgeous Peaches released last year… All the stamps and dies are from The Greetery of course!

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 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 and inked an ombre effect using the two ink colors from the peaches. I used vellum as the background. I tried a LOT of color combinations to get the peaches the color I wanted!! (All the ink colors are listed in the supplies). I finally found the right balance of yellow and orange…

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 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. It's really fresh and pretty. Those stencils are a dream.

I arranged the peaches inside the jar first and then tucked the leaves in afterwards to get the right balance of orange and green.

    Hi Wanda! Just arriving from The Greetery, I wanted to give extra kudos for your fresh and fabulous card! I wish I lived in a place with more Fresh Mkts but being in tropical Florida, I rely mostly on a very nice grocery store. And yes, the peaches 🍑 have been sweet and juicy this year. Yum. I just love, love your card and you’ve truly inspired me! Thanks for a wonderful TGIF!
    P.S. I’m so excited that I have the Doodle bug enamel dots! 💙😊🍊

    Just peachy, Wanda! I love everything about your adorable card. Hydrangeas here on Cape Cod have been prolific, as well. I believe a reward from above for sustaining a difficult previous year. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
