Cheerful Daisies Hello Card

Cheerful Daisies Hello Card

It’s already the second day of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! How time flies!! For this Cheerful Daisies Hello Card, I played around with the Cheerful Daisies Bundle on page 111 of the catalog. Buy the stamp set and dies together in the Bundle and save 10%.

I will say you can do lots of “playing” with this Bundle. First of all, you can stamp the daisies in all kinds of ways. You can stamp the large daisy outline in Black Memento Ink and then stamp the middle of the flower. You can leave the stamped flower as is or you can color it lightly with a Blending Brush or Sponge Dauber.

For the smaller daisies, you can stamp a solid color flower. Or you can stamp an outline daisy and then color it in with markers or whatever technique you like. You could also stamp the outline stamp and then do “two-step stamping” by stamping the solid flower inside the outline. It doesn’t have to be perfect! The two yellow daisies on my card are just stamped with the solid daisy stamp and then diecut.

There are several diecuts you can experiment with. The flowers, stems, and leaves are all separate so you can arrange the pieces however you like. There is one large die that I was a little confused about at first. It has one large flower, a small daisy, and sort of a half flower plus leaves. You can leave the trio together or you can snip the tiny connections and cut them apart. It’s very easy. Then you can leave everything all white or add some color to the parts. You can even layer some diecut pieces as I did on the large daisy on the lower right. I even diecut some green leaves so I could glue them over the white leaves of the diecut.

The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set (available in the Online Exclusives category). I used a diecut to cut out the greeting. I didn’t have too much space so it is tucked a little behind the one flower.

The card base is Misty Moonlight cardstock with a layer of designer paper in the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I thought the white and yellow daisies would look stunning against the dark blue.

Daisies are flowers that everyone loves. They are simple and familiar, so you will get lots of creativity out of this Cheerful Daisies Bundle in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog!

Noble Peacock Daisy Thank You Card

Noble Peacock Daisy Thank You Card

I thought it was time to try out my new Noble Peacock fancy paper so here is the Noble Peacock Daisy Thank You Card that came of that idea! Sometimes I just choose some paper I want to use and then see what ideas I come up with.

I had ordered this Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper recently so this is my first card trying it out. This jewel-toned paper has foil accents and is a little more heavyweight than other designer papers. It is really pretty and elegant. You will make gorgeous cards and other projects with this paper! You can also purchase the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets to go along with this paper. Keep in mind you can use this paper for your projects even if you do not own the Royal Peacock Stamp Set. But it does all go together if that is what you want.

This paper has three coordinating colors – Blueberry Bushel, Pretty Peacock, and Old Olive. I chose the Old Olive pattern for this card so I started with an Old Olive base. It opens at the top so cut the cardstock in half lengthwise and then fold. I decided to die cut a hole in both the Old Olive Cardstock and the Noble Peacock Specialty Paper in order to place the punched daisy on the inside of the card.

Noble Peacock Daisy Thank You Card Inside

The daisy from Daisy Delight is stamped in Crushed Curry Ink and punched out with the Daisy Punch. You can punch just one daisy but I usually stamp and punch two daisies to make the flower look fuller.

Choose the size of the Layering Circles Dies that you want to use. This one was a tight fit but if I used a larger one I thought it would look too big on the card. I first die cut the circle on the specialty paper, then placed it where I wanted it on the Old Olive Cardstock and lightly drew a circle with a pencil around the inside. Then I knew where to place the die on the front of the cardstock. I’m not sure the die would cut through both the paper and the cardstock at the same time although that is the easiest way to do it.

The greeting is stamped in Old Olive Ink from the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and die cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Luckily the “Thank You” fit in this size die because a larger one would have been too big. In that case, I would have just cut it as a banner without a die.

Have fun trying out new ideas with all the new products in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog, like this Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Pressed Petals Gift Bag and Gift Card

Pressed Petals Gift Bag and Gift Card

The Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper is so pretty and I thought I would make something other than a regular card with it. Here is my Pressed Petals Gift Bag and Gift Card that you could also make for just a small gift. The bag is just 6″ high and the paper is very lightweight so you could put some pieces of candy inside, a piece of jewelry, a gift card, or a diamond ring! (Might as well aim high!)

The Pressed Petals Paper is designed with photographic images of real pressed flower petals. One side of the paper has the flower images, the other side has subtle vintage designs like old sheet music, lines of script, wood grain, and vintage plant descriptions. One design has portions you can cut apart and use on cards, much like the Petal Promenade Paper we previously had.

This bag is one of those easy things to make, as I have done many times before. Start with a 12″ x 6″ piece of designer paper (or cardstock). Score at 1″, 3 3/4″, 6 1/2″ and 9 1/4″. Then turn long ways and score at 2″ to make the bottom flaps. Cut off the smallest little section and cut up on the botton flap score lines to the horizontal score line. Then crease and fold to form the bag. Leave it open at the top or punch two holes and tie it closed with ribbon. Here’s a similar example.

Easy Botanical Butterfly Mini Gift Bag Cutting Diagram

You can see the little bag I made previously HERE with the Botanical Butterfly Paper.

I stamped two daisies with the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and punched out with the Daisy Punch. I like putting one of the Gold Faceted Gems in the daisy center. A new item we have now in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog is the Perennial Essence Floral Centers, actual fuzzy embellishments to look like the center of real flowers, that you could use.

The ribbon I used is the Gold 3/8″ Metallic Edge Ribbon. Just push the sides of the bag in a little bit and pull the top edges of the bag together to close the top. If you don’t want to get punched holes on all four sides of the bag, punch the front and back holes first before you pull the bag together! You could also hold the top of the bag together with a Mini Library Clip or check the Clearance Rack for two other styles (and bargains!). Don’t forget! Some stamp sets were added to the Clearance Rack the other day you might want to check out!

And while I had the paper out, I decided to make just a cute little matching card, 3″ x 6″ folded in half with a 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ piece of designer paper on top. The little “hello” is found in the Bloom & Grown Stamp Set. I thought it was cute for that card and is punched out with the Classic Label Punch to make it easy. Just for a little something, I added the smallest size Gold Faceted Gem on to the greeting to match the bag. I wish it was even smaller but I think it is fine.

Use your Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper to make simple gift bags like this one plus a gift card to match!

Daisy Delight Thank You Card

Daisy Delight Thank You Card

Memorial Day seems to signal the beginning of summer, even though the official date isn’t until later this month, but I thought a bright Daisy Delight Thank You Card was in order today!

This is the last week of the current Stampin’ Up! catalog and all the Last-Chance products. Remember, it is not just the Annual Catalog retiring but also the Occasions Catalog. Also, the Everything is Rosy Product Medley ends on May 31 so grab that if you want it!

With the warm weather and sunny days, I thought about the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and the Gingham Gala Designer Paper. The Gingham Gala 6″ x 6″ paper has been very popular and sold out a few times, so I’m really surprised it is still available, as I write this. It is such “happy” paper! I’m glad the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and coordinating Daisy Punch are carrying over to the new catalog along with a new smaller Medium Daisy Punch that will be fun to use! Keep your eye out for that on page 187.

To make this card I just used a card base of Whisper White Cardstock and added a 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ layer of Daffodil Delight Cardstock. The Gingham Gala layer is 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″. The two daisies are stamped and then punched out with the Dasy Punch and adhered to the gingham layer. I added a Gold Faceted Gem to the center of the daisy. I’m happy to say these are also carrying over to the new catalog!

I used the “Thank You” that comes in the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and stamped in Daffodil Delight on Whisper White, layered on Daffodil Delight Cardstock. These layers match up with the daisy piece above. Here is another card I made two years ago that is very similar but gives you a slightly different idea.

This Daisy Delight Thank You Card is sure to brighten someone’s day with it’s bright colors and pretty 3D daisy! Make one today!
