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.  Don't forget that I've kicked off my Slizzin' Summer Promotion and you can get your name into the hat for a chance to win a prize from the 2019 Holiday Catalog.  You get your name in for every $30 you spend plus there are a few more ways as well.  You can click on the promotion image below and find out all the details.

Masculine Card Using the Daisy Lane Stamp Set Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card using the Daisy Lane Stamp Set.  The Daisy Lane Stamp Set is brand NEW in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog wish has gone live earlier than announced today. This stamp set can be used for everyone, not just for a feminine card.  I am going to share with you a masculine card using this set instead today.  So when looking at stamp sets don't get hung up on the name and think you can only use it for a certain sex, because I am sure you can find a image that can be used for a masculine card as well.  The Daisy Lane Stamp set is one of those sets, because you can create a really nice masculine card with it.  Here's a look at my card.

For my card I used the fern image from the Daisy Lane set and stamped it in two different colors.  I used Sahara Sand and Night of Navy on this card.  I picked the colors from the bakers twine.  Ferns can be any color you want so don't limit yourself to just greens.  Why not be a little whimsical and have a little fun with it.  In the video I share a different color combination with you.

Sizes & Dimensions: 

  • Night of Navy Cardstock - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 & 1 1/8 x 5
  • Sahara Sand Cardstock -  (2) 4 x 5 1/4*
  • Whisper White Cardstock - (2) 3 3/4 x 5*
* numbers in ()'s are how many pieces of cardstock in that color you will need

I hope that you have enjoyed by little video tutorial today!  If you want to see a feminine version of this card join me this afternoon on my Facebook Page at 4 pm CST.  I will be showing everyone how to make it in my Kinsmon Crafter Corner!  Hope to see you there.  You will find a full list of the supplies I used below.
