I shared this adorable Slide & Lock Fun Fold card in my Facebook Live on August 18th. I coloured the sheep with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. I have't used watercolor pencils in so long and it was fun! Today's card is a Slide & Lock which is super easy to make. If you want to make this card you can watch my video

Canada Inks Up! Blog Hop with You're a Peach Suite Collection

Hello Stampers,

Welcome to the blog hop for the Canada Inks Up Team - we are so happy to hop along with your today.

Every Sunday my Border Buddy, Patsy Waggoner from the US, and I share a card using one of our exclusive sketches. I created a card using the You're a Peach Suite Collection in this post. Here's the sketch from that post with the card I created.

To achieve some dimension on the peaches I first stamped in Pale Papaya. I then used a Sponge Dauber to add some Mango Melody and Calypso Coral to the edges. When I was growing up in Ontario I loved peach season. We got "freestone" variety and the pit just came away from the fruit so easily.

I started to play around with the set and used different colour combinations to achieve the look of different fruits.

After the peach I made cherries, blueberries and finally plums. Which is your favourite? The colour palette's for each fruit are:

Peach - Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, Calypso Coral
Cherry - Poppy Parade, Real Red
Blueberry - Misty Moonlight, Pacific Point
Plums - Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Blackberry Bliss

Everything’s just peachy when you craft with this You’re a Peach Suite Collection. The all-occasion sentiments are ideal for handmade greeting cards and gift packaging. Add some juicy peaches, flowers, and foliage for a sweet finish.

The You’re a Peach Suite Collection includes
* Sweet As a Peach Photopolymer Stamp Set (10% off)
* Peach Dies (10% off)
* You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper
* Mini Jam Jars

Product colours: Balmy Blue, Bumblebee, Calypso Coral, Early Espresso, Mango Melody, Pale Papaya, Pear Pizzazz, Petal Pink, Whisper White

I shared how I made these cards in my weekly Facebook Live which I upload to YouTube. Here's the recording of the live with some tips. Join me on my Facebook Page - Stamp Crazy with Alison! - every Sunday at 10 am PT for another Sunday Sketch Live.

Please hop around to the other members of my Canada Inks Up! team for even more ideas and inspiration.

All Stampin’ Up!® products were used to create today's card. In June when you place an order in our online store you will receive a free PDF featuring instructions for 8 cards using the Pansy Petal Suite Collection. Here's a sneak peak:
