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.

Happy Stampin'

Stampers Showcase April Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to this month's Stampers Showcase Blog Hop.  This month our theme is Spring/Floral.  So I had one card made and ready to go but really didn't like it.  So after a lot of thinking about showing it or not last night about 7:30 I decided to scrap the original card and go with something completely different.  So for my new card for today's blog hop I went with a new set that will be coming in the 2019 Annual Catalog but paired it with some retiring favorites and some things that are carrying over as well.  I picked the new Bloom & Grow stamp set and matching dies to do my card.  Here's a look at my card.

The Bloom & Grow stamp set is a wonderful floral themed set that has three different large floral images along with wonderful sentiments.  The matching dies not only cuts out the flower sprays but there are two dies that cut out two openings that allow you to stick the sprays into.  I stamped the sprays in memento tuxedo black ink so that I could use my Stampin' Blends to color the sprays.

For the coloring I used Lovely Lipstick, Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Pineapple Punch, and Call Me Clover Stampin' Blends in light and dark.  Once I had them colored I cut them out using the matching dies. My card base is a piece of Mango Melody (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2).  I added a piece of whisper white that was cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 to which I added a piece of Lovely Lipstick DSP (4 x 5 1/4).  I stamped my sentiment in Versamark and used the 2018-2020 In Color embossing powder in Lovely Lipstick (which is on the retiring list) and them embossed it with my Heat Tool.  I added this strip between each floral spray and added a few rhinestones just to add a little sparkle.

Thanks for dropping by I hope that you have enjoyed my card today.  I hope that you have fun hopping along with the rest of the hoppers today.  Sue Vine from Australia is next on the hop today so I hope that you hop on over there and check out what she has created for this month's hop.  I know it's going to be great.

Happy Stampin'
