I love the fact that the Daisy punch, punches the daisies in both the Daisy Lane and Daisy Delight stamp sets. This makes them so useful to the crafter who is always looking to find more ways to use their stash.

measurements

  • A6 cardbase in Merry Merlot – ( A6 cardbase is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

As I have said before I do love daisies. Our daisies are still flowering beautifully here in Lincoln. We have purple, yellow and white ones in the garden. I think flowers really do brighten up the world.

The Daisy Lane stamp set is available to purchase as a bundle with the medium daisy punch at a saving of 10%.

I have stamped the daisy onto the whisper white cardstock, before layering over the punched daisy, so that when you fluff the petals up you won’t see white space underneath. The Gold Faceted Gems gives the centre of the daisy a real bling element. The mini bubbles are from the Artisan Textures set and simulate pollen blowing in the breeze.

I love this card as it uses minimal supplies but gives a great wow effect. As it makes use of punched circles, it is a perfect card to make with young children.

The theme of this card is circles. You can make a huge variety of matching stationery such as invitations, envelopes and goody bags. I truly believe that we need to get kids involved when they are young in various crafts so that these skills and hobbies aren’t lost. I know I would much prefer a child playing with ink and paper than stuck in front of a tv.

Measurements

  • Real Red card stock – A6 card base (A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

I think this type of card would also work with different coloured punched butterflies. I am going to try it and if it works I will share it with you.

Primary colours make this card sing. Primary colours are red, blue and yellow and the contrast and complement each other perfectly. Secondary colours are orange, green and purple. The colour wheel does help to match colours together.

I love to use coloured card bases with a white mat that gives a little border around the card. Do you use coloured card bases or do you prefer white? I like to frame my images on my card as I feel it just makes the whole project look more complete.

Butterflies and Birthday Wishes Card Tutorial

I have a sweet and simple birthday card featuring butterflies and the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper (DSP).

This card features two things I love, butterflies and flowers. I love walking through the garden and seeing the butterflies flitting about from flower to flower. They are so delicate and beautiful and yet so strong. Seeing a butterfly makes my heart sing and puts a smile on my face.

I like the simplicity and yet the bright vibrancy of this card. The background DSP is quite busy and I felt the sentiment got lost it so I popped it up on the band of daffodil delight card.

Measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Card Base
  • Old Olive cardstock 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Daffodil Delight Cardstock – 9cm x 4.5cm
  • Bird Ballard DSP – 13.85cm x 9cm

As always there is a video of the process below along with the supply list.

While using the Bird Ballard DSP I have fallen more and more in love with it and I hope that these projects will make you fall in love too. Here is a link to another card made using this paper.

Daisy Daisy, give me your answer

This Daisy birthday card reminders me of the old song we used to sing as children. The card uses both the large Daisy punch as well as the Daisy Lane stamp set.

Daisy Lane Birthday Card, made using supplies from Stampin' Up!

I love daisies, as Meg Ryan said in You’ve Got Mail, “They’re so friendly”. My Granny always had a beautiful big yellow daisy bush in her garden back in South Africa. I have many pictures it and of me standing in front of it. Daisies therefore hold a special place in my heart as they remind me of my Granny. We couldn’t find a yellow Marguerite in the UK for years but we have one now which is starting to flower this year.

This card uses a plethora of techniques including, emboss resist, inking and punching. I enjoy mixing things up and seeing what happens.

Bold and Bright colours are my thing and this card ticks both those boxes for me. I have used the Mango Melody, So Saffron and Daffodil Delight inks to make a blended background.

The stamp set is a new set called Daisy Lane which is companion set to the Daisy Delight set that carried over. They both coordinate with the large and medium Daisy punch. If you already have the one set then this is a great addition to your stash.

Measurements

  • Night of Navy A6 Card base
  • Whisper White 14.35cm x 10cm

I did video showing all the steps to make this card which is below with the supply list.
