If these two cards, my Delightful Daisy Twin Birthday Cards, look a lot alike, it’s because they were meant to since they were going to my twin nieces! I usually make their birthday cards almost the same but slightly different! I got the idea for this card from someone on Instagram, @leannecreates. I don’t know her but we both seem to like each other’s cards on Instagram! She really liked the look of the pink and navy together on her card and I have to agree. I made the second card with a slightly different color.

To make my cards a little bit differently, I embossed both Night of Navy card bases with an embossing folder. The card with the Powder Pink daisy is embossed with the Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder. The card with the Flirty Flamingo daisy is embossed with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. The colored layer on each card is plain, then the Whisper White Cardstock is embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder.

The daisies were both stamped with the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and then punched out with the Daisy Punch. I punched two daisies for each card so the flower would look fuller. The leaves are also stamped from that set and cut out. Luckily, the Daisy Punch is carrying over to the new catalog plus there is a new Medium Daisy Punch! I also stamped the flower center and cut out by hand with my Paper Snips. (If you don’t own a pair of these scissors, you should order them as soon as possible as they are so good for cutting out small pieces and lots of other things!)

The birthday sentiment on the pink daisy card is from the Detailed With Love Stamp Set and on the Flirty Flamingo card it is from the another stamp set that I can’t remember! It really doesn’t matter! You can use any birthday greeting or any greeting for another occasion. This style of card can be used for most any occasion. If you left off the sequins, you could even use it for a sympathy card with some subtle colors and the appropriate greeting. I added some sequins for a little pizzazz. You could also use pearls or rhinestones, whatever you like.

Consider making this kind of card for your next occasion. Change the greeting, change the colors, maybe even use a piece of designer series paper as the layer. Use different flowers or some other image. Lots of possibilities with this card design.
