Well, my steady diet of fruit is rubbing off on my stamping choices! Here we have three kinds of fruity goodness, with a technique! I talked about how hard it is to find good peaches where I live, but there are lots of strawberries here. And I have found wonderful pears, but mostly in the winter. That is ok, we need fruit in the winter time too! And by eating what is in season, I rotate my foods a bit :)
I made a video for the pear card, and I hope you enjoy it!
All of the cards are on a Crumb Cake card base 4¼"x8½" scored in half, then the colored mat is 3¾" square, and the Whisper White image panel is 3½" square. The vellum strips are about ¾"x3¾".
First up, we have the pear card. I used Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry, and Garden Green on this one,
Then the strawberry card uses Watermelon Wonder under a rock-n-rolled Cherry Cobbler, with a Garden Green top.
And the peach card, which uses Peekaboo Peach, Watermelon Wonder, and Emerald Envy.
Here is a little peek inside all of them. Lots of lovely fruit! Now, if you order from me this month, you just might get one of these in the mail :)

It's time for another kind of fruit! I made this card without Designer Series Paper by the way. And it was pretty easy :)
I made another video! I hope that I am getting better at it, and that you all are enjoying watching them.
Do you love fresh, juicy peaches? I sure do, but I have a hard time finding good ones in Northern Minnesota. I long for the peaches that are so ripe, you can smell them across the room and they drip down your chin when you take a big bite :) Well, I decided to make my own peaches! I don't have the Fruit Stand DSP, which has a pattern similar to this pattern. But if you have the stamp set, which I do, you can make your own!
The image panel is a 4"x5¼" Whisper White piece. Cardbase is Crumb Cake 5½"x8½" scored at 4¼". Crumb Cake 1"x3½" strip for the sentiment.
For each peach, I inked the stamp up in Peekaboo Peach, then used a sponge dauber to apply Watermelon Wonder to the inked stamp. Then stamped, cleaned the stamp to prevent contaminating the Peekaboo Peach pad, and repeated until all the peaches were stamped.
I stamped a peach on the inside also.
Added stems in just one color, Emerald Envy.
Stamped the sentiment on a 1" strip of crumb Cake in Versamark and heat embossed with Copper embossing powder.
Made a nest of Copper Thread and stuck it to the cardfront.
Stitched around the panel, with the sentiment strip, then adhered the coasters, then the cardbase.
See that cute little peach on the inside? I love how well Crumb Cake takes all kinds of inks!

I have been creating a bunch of Christmas stuff this month for a variety of sources! This time, I thought why not have a Stamp-A-Stack and help my local stampers get a head start on their Christmas cards for this year :)
I found lots of inspiration for my projects on Paperless Post. Here are some of the fabulous Christmas card samples I found:
These quirky little dogs are darling, and so many of us have fur-babies that we want to share.
Paperlesspost.com has lots of designs to choose from, and they can be printed and shipped to you, or you can have them sent as an email! How convenient is that?!
Of course, you could always come to a class with me and make a few of your very own handmade Christmas cards!
I am offering this Stamp-A-Stack class this week at my home. Each attendee will make 9 cards, 3 of each card design, and have with a light meal. All for $20! These are the dates and times I am offering the class:

If you would like to create these cards at home with your own supplies, here is the list of products I used to make them:
