Blogging Friends Blog Hop: Theme Mother's Day

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am super happy to share with you my project for this month's Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  This month our theme is all about mom.  For my card I used two different stamp sets, I used one that is carrying over and one that is new in the upcoming 2019 Annual Catalog.  I used To A Wild Rose and Well Said.  Here's a look at my card.
I started out by stamping the rose.  The rose stamp is a three step stamp.  I used Pineapple Punch, Daffodil Delight, & Crushed Curry to stamp it.  For the leaves I used Soft Sea foam, Pear Pizzazz, and Old Olive for the leaves.  I love the dimension that you get from the three different colors.
I added a piece of the Garden Lane designer series paper to the background.  I cut four of the happy words from the Well Said Bundle one one from Daffodil Delight Cardstock.  If you want to save want to save 10% on this stamp and die bundle you need to do so now; when they hit the new catalog the bundle price will no longer be available.  You can only get them separate.  This is how it is with every catalog; bundles are only bundled together during the life of that particular catalog.
Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you have fun hopping along with us this month.
Happy Stampin'

Daisy Lane for #PCC335

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you another card that features both new, and retiring products.  I created this card for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge.  This week we have a really fun sketch for you to play along with.  I used the Daisy Lane Cling Mount Stamp Set from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  This is a great new stamp set that coordinates with the popular Daisy Punch.  So this is a great set to add to your collection if you have the wonderful Daisy Punch.  I also used some of the Gingham Gala Designer Series paper which is sadly retiring.  Here's a look at my card.

Here's a look at the sketch that inspired my card today.  You can click on the sketch image and it will take you to the Paper Craft Crew website so you can play along and/or see what the other design team members came up with.
I stamped the ferns first and then fussy cut them out.  Then I stamped the daisy twice so that I could use my daisy punch and punch each one out.  My card base is a piece of Pear Pizzazz cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  My Whisper White piece that is on the front of the card base was cut at 4 x 5 1/4.  I added a strip of the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper in Daffodil Delight.
I stamped the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.  I used stampin' dimensionals to put the daisy together.  I added the ferns behind the daisy with a little liquid glue and a dimensional at the end of a couple so that there was a little more dimension.  I finished off the card by adding a couple rhinestones that I colored with my dark Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin' Blend.  To finish off the design I added a little of the designer series paper to the inside of the card.
Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you have enjoyed this little sneak peek and a look at the retiring Gingham gala designer series paper.  I would suggest that if you love this paper to stock up on it now.  If you need to pick up the designer series paper and the other supplies you can do so in my online store.  The Daisy Lane Stamp set will be available in June.  I am also planning a fun online class using this stamp set so be watching for that as well.
