Cheerful Daisies will retire today so this is a good-bye, but the good news is that the Annual Catalogue and On-Line Exclusives go live today!
Hello Friends,
I hope your week is going well so far. Did you get into your stamp room over the weekend? I did. Actually, I spent from 5am to 5pm on Saturday (with a few quick trips to the kitchen for coffee, tea, water and supper) and 5am to 3pm on Sunday working on (and completing) 15 cute Christmas gift card holders. Whew! Last Christmas I found myself rushing, stressing, and not getting done the cards and projects I wanted to, so I’m starting early this year.
Yesterday was a productive day for me as well. I signed up for an on-line painting class with Yvette St. Amant and went to pull out my large art journal to begin the first video/class lesson. Oh, by the way, the class I signed up for is her Picasso-like faces class. Well, darn if I wasn’t able to find my journal and got very frustrated with how disorganized my shelving units were. After I had my shelves close to bare, I decided it was time to get rid of things, like unread books that I wondered why in the world I had them in the first place, a load of scrapbook buttons, small plastic bins, felt patterns I attempted but wasn’t good at, etc., where they were promptly donated to a thrift store. I even found things that I have been looking for, for a very long time, and also discovered that I have five brayers. What the heck! Anyways, let’s take a look at how you can reproduce my card…
Card Directions
- Cut Daffodil Delight at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
- Emboss the Daffodil Delight cardstock using Starstruck embossing folder.
- Using a large die (largest scallop in Scalloped Contours), cut using Basic White cardstock.
- Stamp sentiment out along the right hand side of Basic White that was just cut. I used Shaded Spruce but you can use any colour.
- Using Pretty in Pink die cut your flowers. The center was cut using Berry Burst and the stamens were cut using Bubble Bath.
- Die cut greenery using Shaded Spruce.
- Place scalloped Basic White cardstock on top of the Daffodil Delight background, as you would like to see it when your card is finished. Using a tight grip, turn over the card front and Basic White and lay it down flat. Carefully trace where the white meets the card front, then cut.
- Adhere scalloped Basic White to the Daffodil Delight.
- Adhere card front to the front of the card.
- Adhere die cut greenery and flowers.
As always, enjoy your paper crafting and please share your projects with me. I enjoy seeing what other creative minds come up with and am frequently inspired by them.
Happy Stampin’, Beth
Such a happy card! Sorry to see this set go, but eager to see some new creations from the new catalog! Oh my, you sound like me! Shirley and I shake our heads, and say regularly that we have so much that we can’t find anything! I filled two trash bags last week with instructions that I printed off when splitcoast stampers was the only place to get ideas! Thanks for sharing today! Got home from California last night, so am hoping to get into my happy room today for a while. DH has yet one more surgery next week, which will require time on the highway and helping him recover, but I should have some creative time next week too! Hugs!
Such a cheerful card and so very pretty! I love the embossing folder you used. Great card design too. xx
Good for you getting your room organized, I had to laugh at the 5 brayers 🙂 You can have one for every color 🙂 Or ones just for inks and ones just for paints.
Your card is so pretty, love the flower and I always love using our dies in different ways in the design of the card!
