MORE… Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper Cards!

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have 2 additional cards from the beautiful Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper. These are two of the smaller 3″ x 2″ designs that I cut from this sheet of designer paper.

My first card today highlights the “NEW” Moody Mauve… it’s prettier in person, not the best lighting on this photo and I appologize. I am also using the NEW Layering Leaves stamp set on both cards today.

The designer paper piece cuts to 3″ x 2″ and has a Basic White mat that measures 3-1/8″ x 2-1/8″ … The card front has a strip of Moody Mauve that I stamped the floral images in the coordinating Moody Mauve ink. This piece measures 5-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ then matted with Basic White measuring 5-1/2″ x 1-5/8″.

Using a piece of scrap, I stamped my greeting in Moody Mauve and die cut it using the Stylish Shapes. Dies. I’m thinking I should have added some bling to this card! What do you think?

My second card for today highlights the NEW Pebbled Path and another design from our Fresh as a Daisy Designer paper.

The “green” designer paper designer paper piece cuts to 3″ x 2″ and has a Pebbled Path mat that measures 3-1/8″ x 2-1/8″. The three strips of designer paper are cut to 4″ x 1-1/2″ and are leftovers from my stamping retreat … I can’t let that pretty paper go to waste!

I stamped my greeting and daisy in Pebbled Path and die cut both … the greeting dies come from the Stylish Shapes. I use them a lot! Super simple cards to make, but that is the point right!? I want to inspire you to use up these little pieces from this sheet of designer paper.

Thank you joining me today.

Have a great day ~

Day 2: Creating Quick & Easy cards using the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have 2 additional cards from the beautiful Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper. I have more of the NEW Colors share with you today too.

Let me start with the Designer paper as a reminder of how I’m getting all of these cute patterns …

My first card today highlights the “returning” Pretty Peacock and the New Wild Wheat. I am also highlighting the NEW Layering Leaves stamp set (I LOVE this set!!) on both cards today, yesterday I used the greetings from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set.

The designer paper piece cuts to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and has a Wild Wheat mat that measures 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ … The card front was then layered onto the returning color; Pretty Peacock that measures 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ then scored and folded at 4-1/4″.

Using a piece of scrap, I stamped my greeting in Pretty Peacock and die cut it using the NEW Nested Essentials Dies, then I used the small banner die from the same set and cut two Wild Wheat and two Pretty Peacock banners to create the layering behind the greeting … it creates and nice focal point to the card. I then embellished the card with the Wild Wheat dots from the 2023-25 In Color Dots.

My last card for the day highlights the NEW Bubble Bath and Pebbled Path … I love pink and grey together and this card turned out stunning!

The designer paper that looks like it was painted in Pebbled Path measures 3″ x 4″ and is not matted, instead I used 3 Bubble Bath squares that were die cut from Stylish Shapes and were just “left overs” from my retreat. I also stamped my greeting in Pebbled Path directly onto one of the blocks.

The Pebbled Path base measures 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ then scored and folded at 4-1/4″ was stamped with the Daisy image in Pebbled Path to create dimension and a cute background. I really like using the “Color on Color” technique! My daisy and center was stamped in Moody Mauve and then highlighted with a hint of Bubble Bath in the center by using the Sponge Dauber … both were die cut along with extra leaves and they layered onto the front of the card. I then embellished the card with the Pebbled Path dots from the 2023-25 In Color Dots.

I hope you are enjoying all the samples of cards created from the pieces cut from that 12″ x 12″ sheet of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series paper. I have more in store!!

Thank you joining me today.

Happy Monday ~

Simply Sunday: Creating Quick & Easy cards using the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends & Happy Mother’s Day!!

Today I have 3 cards I’d like to share with you from the beautiful Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper. The sheet that I am using was designed for you to create many different cards!! You’ll see how easy it is to create the pretty cards in no time at all … plus you’ll be introduced to some of the NEW colors.

Let me start with the new Bubble Bath (pink) …

The daisies cut to 4″ x 4″ from the sheet and was adhered to a piece of 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ Basic White. Our base is 11″ x 4-1/4″ then scored and folded at 5-1/2″. I used a piece of Garden Green scrap for a pop of color and tied a pretty little bow from White Bakers twine. I then stamped my greeting in Crushed Curry to pull that color from the flowers, and added 3 Tinsel Gems (4 pack) that are “Berry Burst” color but looked great on my card. I finished it off with some Wink of Stella on the White daisy petals.

My second card highlights the new Wild Wheat ….

The flower piece cuts to 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ and has an Early Espresso mat that measures 3-7/8″ x 5-3/8″ … I then added a strip of Wild Wheat to each side so it stretched out to 4-1/8″ inch. The card front was then layered onto the Basic White base that measures 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ then scored and folded at 4-1/4″. Using a piece of scrap, I stamped my greeting in Early Espresso and snipped the ends off at an angle to create a different look.

My third and last card for the day highlights the NEW Copper Clay and Boho Blue…

The daisies cut from our designer paper measure 4″ x 5-1/4″ and matted with Basic White measuring 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ … this is secured to the Copper Clay base that measures 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ then scored and folded at 4-1/4″. I used the Stylish Shapes to cut out my circle for the greeting (stamped in Copper Clay) and the Copper Clay cardstock to die cut the banner. I embellised with the Adhesive Backed Solid Gems in Boho Blue.

Tomorrow I will be back with the other pieces cut from that 12″ x 12″ sheet of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series paper.

Thank you for taking time out of your Mother’s Day to visit my blog.

Enjoy this beautiful day ~

Cheerful Daisy in Lemon Lolly & Pebble Path

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, VIDEO by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

So excited to share the NEW Cheerful Daisy card with you that we made at my Spring Stamping Retreat. I’m also sharing the video replay of last nights Facebook LIVE and then the ingredients and dimensions so you can recreate this quick -n- cute card ….

Wasn’t that easy to make!! Here is a close up of my card

DIMENSIONS:

  • Card Base: Pebble Path / 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Scored and folded at 4-1/4″.
  • Lemon Lolly / 2 pieces 5-1/4″ x 4″ … mat for designer paper (front) and white (inside) & small piece of scrap to add a pop of color behind the greeting
  • Designer Paper: 5″ x 3-3/4″
  • Basic White: 5″ x 3-3/4″ (Inside) + 4″ x 3-1/2″ (cut daisy) + 3″ x 1-1/2″ (stamp greeting) + small scrap to stamp the flowers center in Lemon Lolly

I learned something new today ….

What is the Centre of a daisy called?

A single stem arises carrying the flower head – this is not just one flower, but a composite of a number of tiny flowers which make up the yellow disc in the middle (‘disc florets‘) and the surrounding white ‘ray florets’ (which look just like petals).
