Daisy Lane

Today's cards are created, again using the sweet Daisy Lane stamps set. I wanted to show you how versatile this little set can be. Daisies don't always need to be white or gold. I love them in Misty Blue and embossed and also in Merry Merlot. It's a shame the photo doesn't  show the bead of  Shimmery Crystal Effects in the centre of the Merry Merlot Daisy. It is so pretty and gives a great highlight. The lovely frayed denim look ribbon suits these cards so well and is part of the Boho Indigo Suite, which is also worth a look. I'm so happy with how this cluster of cards turned out, because Stampin' Up!® products are so beautifully co-ordinated, which makes it easy to unleash your creativity.

Daisy Lane

Today in the studio, the lovely Daisy Lane came out to play. I grew up with daisies in the garden and grew them in a number of homes. Sadly they don't grow in my current garden so I will have to create with them instead.  I love how sweet this set is and I felt that it called for a sweet and simple treatment.

In this first card I wanted to use the negative space left when I used the Daisy punch. I stamped 2 more daisies from the Daisy Lane Stamp set around it and added stems. I used a "Whisper White" base card and my first layer is "Daffodil Delight" then I overlayed the punched and stamped "Whisper white" 3rd  layer. The sentiment is stamped on a "Story Label" punched label. The stamp pads colours used were Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz.

            

The second card is a cute little "pull out" card with a hidden message inside.  I used a "Daffodil Delight base card and layered with DSP from the "Boho Indigo" collection. The Daisy was punched from "Daffodil Delight" and the sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set was inked in Misty Moonlight which is perfect with the Boho Indigo layer. I added some rhinestones to add a little shine  to the hidden sentiment.

Forever Fern and Masking your Cards

Hello everyone. Today I created 3 VERY simple cards suitable for beginners or someone who has not used "masking" in their cards before.  I used the Forever Fern stamp set because it works so well with this technique.  Three coloured Classic Stampin' pads were used, in this case, Pretty Peacock, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea foam. Three matching card stocks were used for the base cards, Pretty Peacock, Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green. Whisper White Cardstock was used for all three card fronts and inserts.

Step one, using a piece of scrap paper, cut out the shape you would like to hold your sentiment. Here I have used an oval, circle and square. Lay your shape in the centre of your card front as below

Step 2, Stamp your design around and over the shape, being careful not to move the shape around. Aim for a balance of images and colours. When you are happy with the design, lift the shape away from your cardstock.

Step 3, Stamp your sentiment into the negative space left by the scrap shape.

Painted Poppies.

Today, most of the day was spent in the Studio, working on a special project. With that in mind I thought that I would whip up a quick card for tonight's blog. It turned out not to be so quick as it developed.  I'd had fun today practising my embossing technique so it made sense to use it on tonight's card and then I decided on a little more and a little more and it got late. 

I started with a "Real Red" base card, layered it with "Whisper White" cardstock  on which I stamped black Versamark ink poppies and embossed with clear embossing powder. The next layer is a snippet of "Peaceful Poppies" DSP but you could use "Artistry Blooms" DSP.  On a small piece of "Whisper White", I stamped another poppy from the Painted Poppies Stamp set with black Versamark and again, embossed in clear embossing powder. This was then coloured in using  "Real Red" and "Shaded Spruce" Stampin' Blends. I used the "Story Label" punch on a piece of  Whisper White" cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the "Well Said" stamp set,  then coloured around the label using 

"Real Red". The red ribbon is from the upcoming August-December catalogue. 

When layering your cardstock, keep in mind that you need a little space between your first and second layer to secure your ribbon behind the second layer..I had not planned the ribbon so found it difficult.

I used a layer of "Whisper White" cardstock inside the card to write a greeting and because the inside of the card must always be beautiful too, added another snippet of the Peaceful Poppies DSP.

This Collection Of DSP, stamps and dies is just so lovely, that I could not resist going back to it.

I thought I would Let the Designer Series Paper speak for itself this time and used minimal stamping, concentrating instead on the use of dies and embossing folders. I think they worked out quite nicely, don't you?
