Learn how to create your own beautiful peach orchard on a card

Everything is peachy when you craft with the Sweet As a Peach bundle.

You can build your own images by stamping the peaches, flowers, and foliage individually; the images are perfect for watercoloring. Then add a sentiment that expresses your feelings: thanks, happy birthday, celebrate, and more for perfect handmade cards.
