What will you do with this beautiful floral paper?

When I saw the Cheerful Daisies bundle, I love the fact Stampin’ Up! created the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper that could be added to cardstock. One of the sheets in the paper pack has a patchwork of different panels you can cut apart and use on your cards.  

Daisies make any day feel brighter. This paper is loaded with happy flowers. One side of each sheet is abloom with daisies; the other side has a subtle wash design that complements any project. Plus, one sheet includes multiple individual pieces that you can cut out and use on card fronts, so creating cards is quick and easy. 

Here's one easy card idea using this paper:

Below is another idea using a different design in the Fresh as a Dais paper pack.  to really show off the card. The sentiments are sweet, and the two-step stamps coordinate with the dies.  I love the versatility in how they can be used.   

 

Here's an idea for the inside: 

Supplies for this card:

Stamp set: Cheerful Daisy Bundle, Something Fancy

Paper: Fresh as a Daisy DSP, Basic White, Crushed Curry, Garden Green

Ink: Garden Green, Crushed Curry

Accessories: Cheery Daisy Dies, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine, Silicone pad, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels

Measurements:

        Basic White – 4” x 5-1/4”, 3-1/4” x 4-5/8”, Scrap paper for Flowers and sentiment
        Crushed Curry – 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2”.   (This is a Landscape card)
        Garden Green – 4-1/8’ x 5-3/8”
        Fresh as a Daisy DSP – 4” x 3”, Cut into stripes of 1” x 3” (Cut 4)

Instructions

1. Fold Crush Curry in half, burnish the card base
2. Place your DSP in the trimmer and cut four 1” stripes
3. Bring out the smaller piece of Basic White and adhere the 1” x 3” stripes across the cardstock. (My suggestion would be to only attach one corner of the stripes to the cardstock incase you want to move the stripe for better placement.)
4. Take your Basic White scrap pieces and stamp the bunch of small daisies with Crushed Curry Ink and then die cut the flowers with the small boss machine
5. Ink the sentiment with Garden Green, center the label die over the sentiment and run it through the small boss machine
6. Stamping he inside of card, using the birthday stamp from Something Fancy, stamp the sentiment in the center of the Basic White with Garden Green.
7. Stamp the daisy in the right corner of the same cardstock using Crush Curry on the small Daisy. Stamp the center of the flower with Early Espresso.  (Please use the Silicone pad under the cardstock.)
8. Adhere the of the Basic White and to the Crushed Curry card base
9. Add Dimensionals to the die cut sentiment and bunch of flowers
10. Adhere Butterflies and Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the front of the card.

Do you like bold and simple stamping? I sure do

Today I have a fun card challenge for you! 

 

And this saying is pretty true too, at least where I live. I knew right away that I wanted to use my Cheerful Daisies bundle to help me with my card design. 

Stamp a happy garden or create bouquet of daisies with the Cheerful Daisies bundle. Use the solid images, perfect for quick stamping in one color. Do you want to add detailed color? Use the open line-art images, perfect for watercoloring. The flowers, flower centers, leaves, and stems are on separate stamps so you can create customized flowers. Finish with a sentiment—birthday, thanks, thinking of you, sorry—for unique cards for many occasions.

For my card design I spotted a pattern in the Countryside Inn paper that would be perfect:

This pattern has tiny flowers on it so I knew right away that it would be my background layer on my card. And to add visual interest for my daisies I used some left over Gold paper and some tiny Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments. 

Here's my card. So simple thanks to the dies in the Cheerful Daisies Dies pack:

How to get 4 beautiful cards from this 1 technique

Today I want to show you how to create 4 beautiful cards from 1 sheet of cardstock. This technique is super simple and can easily be adapted for any occasions you need. What can be better than making 4 cards in one easy step?

Which 3 boxes will you choose in this week's fun challenge?

This week we have a fun Paper Craft Crew Tic Tac Toe challenge to stretch your creative thinking! Which 3 connected boxes will you choose? 

 

I had a tough time with this one as I don't have a lot of current products that match the choices in the challenge. I knew that I wanted to use the Cheerful Daisies bundle but I didn't want to use the corresponding paper. So I decided to stamp my own design instead. 

Just in case you haven't seen the Cheerful Daisies bundle, it's worth a look:

There are so many possibilities in this set and matching dies, but I decided to go simple and to play with two new In Colors: Wild Wheat and Copper Clay. 

Here's my card (two photos).

And this one:

This card sketch challenge is perfect for letting the new In Colors shine

Last Sunday I introduced Stampin' Up!s new 2023-25 In Colors on my YouTube video and today's Paper Craft Crew challenge is the perfect way to feature them again: 

I decided to show you another gift card idea using these colors, one that is super easy to create, using your Medium Daisy punch (now retired). If you don't have the Daisy punch, look at the punches or dies you do have and I am sure you will come up with how to make this idea work. 

Here's what I created in just minutes:

And then for each In Color, I created a matching gift envelope, which Stampin' Up! also sells. Here are two of them - you can easily copy the same idea for the rest: 

Boho Blue

Wild Wheat

And don't forget matching envelopes! 

Which of these 5 new In Colors is your fave? Leave me a comment to let me know. 

If you want to see other card ideas using the new In Colors, click here to see what the other crew members created this week. And if you want to add these colors to your collection click on the shopping cart on the right side of my blog to hop over to my online store. 

 

Introducing an exciting set of New Colors to the Stampin' Up! World

This week is such an exciting time in the Stampin' Up! world! On 2 May (two more sleeps!) the next Annual Catalog goes live and, alongside of this launch a new set of 5 In Colors are revealed. Today I am going unveil these new colors and show you a fun card that can be easily multiplied. 

 

And here they are! Which one is your fave? Leave me a comment under this post - I would love to hear which one caught your eye straight away! 

 

 

The In Color 12" x 12" Cardstock Assortment is great for handmade cards and other paper crafts. It’s high quality, acid free, and lignin free, making it a favorite scrapbook paper, too. Here's my tip: when new IN Colors are introduced I always buy an assorted pack of 12x12 cardstock. I can then use my Paper Trimmer to create card bases, strips or keep a sheet whole for memory pages. It's like a color sampler that goes a long way.

In my video below I show you how to create this super cute gift tag AND I also show you a different layout along with the gift tag in all 5 new In Colors! 

Here are the gift tags I created:
