Daisy Lane For #PCC339

Hello and welcome my blog; today I am going to share with you my card for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week we have a real fun sketch for you that makes for some very creative cards. I am using the Daisy Lane Stamp set which is my featured product of the week, this week. Here's a look at my cute little card.

Here's a look at the sketch that inspired my sketch for today. You can click on the the sketch image to visit the Paper Craft Crew site and check out all the projects the design team came up with this week.

Tips & Tricks:

This is a super easy card that was very quick to create. I started out with my card base which by the way is one of the 2019-2021 Stampin' Up! In Colors. I picked Pretty Peacock for my card base today; I cut it at 4 1/4 x 11 and then scored it at 5 1/2. I started out by stamping the fern image from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock ink for a tone on tone look. I then stamped my sentiment in Pretty Peacock on a piece of Whisper White cardstock (3 x 4). On some scrap I stamped one of the large daisies from the set in Pretty Peacock ink and then used the Large Daisy Punch and punched it out.

I then punched one more daisy with the Large Daisy Punch with a piece of vellum cardstock. After I had all the punch work done I matted the Whisper White piece on a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock that was cut at 3 1/8 x 4 1/8. I then added dimensionals behind this piece. Before, adding it to the card front I added a strip of Crushed Curry stripped Washi tape from the Follow Your Art Washi Tape pack.

I added my daisy to the front of the card using a Stampin' Dimensionals. To the center of the daisy I added one of the Perennial Essence Floral Centers. This added the perfect little accent to the card. I then added three of the 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots to the front.

And, that finished off my card for today. I told you it was super easy and quick. If you need any of the products you have seen today you can pick them up in my online store.

Daisy Lane It's Time to Shine

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to be sharing with you a card that uses a new stamp set from the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog (which goes live on June 4th at 12 pm MT Time). This is also the stamp set that I picked to use for my Online Class this month. I am using the New Daisy Lane Stamp Set. This is a fun set and coordinates with the Daisy Delight Stamp Set that's in the current catalog as well as the large daisy punch. When this set goes live it will also have a new matching punch (Medium Daisy Punch) as part of a cost saving bundle. Here's a look at my card.

Daisy Lane Stamp Set, Rick Adkins, Stampin' Up!, Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, Daffodil Delight Cardstock, Blackberry Bliss Cardstock

I picked the colors for my card today from the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. This pack of designer series paper is very artistic and the designer actually studied Monet Paintings and then hand painted the designs where they where photographed and then turned into this lovely paper you see today. Just a little fun fact for you. Any way back to the card. I stamped the large Daisy (twice) from the set and used my large daisy punch to cut that out. I added the designer series paper to a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock cut at 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and then attached that to the card base. Oh I forgot to mention my sentiment was stamped directly on the lovely designer series paper in Blackberry Bliss ink. I thought it was such a wonderful mix of sentiments for a friend to get in the mail. I added some punch out sprigs (using the sprig punch returning to the new catalog) in Daffodil Delight & Blackberry Bliss. I popped the daisy up on a stampin' dimensional and that was pretty much my card. The card base is a piece of Flirty Flamingo cut to portrait size (in the us that's 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2).

I love that this stamp set coordinates with both stamp sets and punches we already have in the catalog. That makes it not only do double duty but it gives us way more options to pick from without a lot of extra cost. This set is my Featured product this week so you will be seeing a lot more examples of this stamp set. Plus if you sign up for my Daisy Lane Online Class you will have seven more card ideas to go along with the ones I share this week. Deadline to sign up for the class is the 4th.

To tie in the envelope I used a strip of the matching paper and attached it to the front. I still have room to write the address and the post office still has room to run it through their post machine without interference. Which is good. I love to make the envelope coordinate when I can by either adding a little of the matching designer series paper or by stamping. You shouldn't be sending a naked envelope use those scrips of dsp you have that matches your card. I also used a strip on the inside of the card as well to help tie it to the front.

That's all for me this morning I have another post for you this afternoon so make sure you watch for that. Remember to add the Daisy Lane Stamp Set onto your wish list, you are going to love it. The new Annual Catalog goes lives tomorrow! Wow it's been such a long awaited time. I also wanted to mention I have kicked off my three month Sizzlin' Summer promotion so you can check out those details here and earn a chance to win a prize from the Holiday Catalog in September.

Thanks for dropping by I planning to get back to the normal schedule soon.
