"SWEET AS A PEACH" BOXED CARD SET

 

For one of my mother's birthday gifts, I created (what I consider to be) a FANTASTIC set of assorted cards featuring Stampin' Up!'s Sweet as a Peach product bundle.  These products are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and oh so fun to use.  I'm sure you just want to see the cards, so let's get to it:

The above design features Soft Sea Foam and Calypso Coral cardstock.  Stitched So Sweetly and Peach dies were used for the die-cut shapes.

All of the die-cut shapes in the above card were cut with the Peach dies except for the tag, which was cut with one of the Tailor Made Tags dies.  That cute cloud?  It is from the Give It a Whirl dies.

Dies featured on the cards directly above and below are:  Give It a Whirl, Stitched So Sweetly, Tailor Made Tags, Peach, and Pierced Blooms.  Embossing Folders are:  Brick & Mortar and Bark.

All of the peaches were given a pretty shimmer with a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

The card below features You're a Peach designer paper and Checks & Dots embossing folder.  Those embossed checks are the perfect amount of texture for the background!  Do you love the Balmy Blue tag?  I'm telling you . . . those Tailor Made Tags dies are something every card-maker should have!

Just look at all of the texture and dimension on this card:

Below is another of the crisp and clean designs featuring Stitched So Sweetly, Pierced Blooms, and Peach dies.  The embossing folder featured on this card is Parisian Floral.  Yes, it's gorgeous!

It was completely unnecessary but, since I was playing with peaches, I couldn't resist using the peach image from the retired Fresh Fruit stamp set.  I still love this stamp set, and I loved having the perfect opportunity to use it again.

The card below just screamed for a die-cut tag, don't you think?

The Wink of Stella Glitter Brush brought to life all of the peaches in this card set.

Want to see inside the box?

On the left interior, I placed a small pocket to hold postage stamps.  The box on the right side held all of the cards.

One last look at the front, which features Artistry Blooms sequins.

I liked this set of cards so much that I need to make a set for myself.  You just can't go wrong with peaches, and the most important thing was that I gave my mother a gift that I was quite proud of.

UPDATE:  I appreciate all of the views, comments, and compliments that this post has received.  This was an interesting and fun project to work on; however, creating the box was a progressive task.  Measurements that I mapped out ended up having to be tweaked, and I do not have a tutorial or exact dimensions at this time.  If I ever re-visit this project, I will be sure to make note of exact measurements and add them to this blog post.  Your understanding is appreciated.
