Sweet As a Peach Gatefold 
Scalloped Edge Birthday Card
It was so much fun to have a small group of friends and fellow stampers visit recently at ChatnCraft with Lorraine’s first open house in New Hampshire. Everyone completed two Make’n Takes- the two Sweet as a Peach cards you see pictured above. Everyone also received a little “pillow gift.”
It was absolutely wonderful to stamp in person and laugh together. We created those two cards and played with more products including Soft Pastels, Peaceful Cabin Bundle, Whimsy and Wonder bundle, and the Color and Contour bundle. The Spiral Dye stamp set saw some ink and made some fun cards as well. During all that I only managed to snap one picture! This one….
It would have been wonderful if everyone far and near could have joined us (and if a hurricane were not expected the next day!) Anyway, here are instructions in case you’d like to make these cards at home!

- Cut the Blue peachy patterned paper 1″ x 5 1/2″ and adhere to the left hand side of the card base leaving a small border.

- Die cut a piece of Basic White with the largest Scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
- Stamp the leaves coming down from the top left corner in Granny Apple Green.
- Ink the three peaches in Pale Papaya and then using a sponge dauber add Calypso Coral ink to the edge of the peaches- directly on the stamp. Line the peaches up and stamp.
- Stamp the little flowers in Balmy Blue as shown.
- Stamp the Happy Birthday under the peaches leaving room for the ribbon at the bottom.
- Tie the ribbon around the rectangle.
