Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie

Not long ago I had a card class and we made a card with the Cheerful Daisies bundle. The background for all the cards were from Glorious Gingham DSP. The card I shared with you was done on Blueberry Bushel and it really made the daisies pop. I had an extra left over, but this time in Pecan Pie, so I made that one up as well – and that’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie

Isn’t this pretty? I used the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends for two of the flower centers and an actual piece of Daffodil Delight card stock for the largest flower. You can see the Blends is slightly darker, so a nice contrast. Behind the leaves is Granny Apple Green card stock. The greeting comes from Go-to Greetings stamp set and was stamped in Pecan Pie on the Basic White strip. A little Linen bow was added for fun and Wild Wheat dots from the 2023-2025 In Color Dots pack. The vellum is from Vellum Basics and is a 2″ wide strip.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie, inside

For the inside of this card, I stamped this partial daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Bubble Bath, then the center in stamped off Daffodil Delight ink. I should have maybe stamped the flower in daisy Delight and the center in Pecan Pie – – – but I didn’t.

More of the Glorious Gingham on the envelope flap and the same stamped daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set on the envelope front: Bubble Bath ink for the petals and stamped off Daffodil Delight for the center. If you want to see the card on Blueberry Bushel -here’s a link to the Blueberry Bushel post. Love this bundle of Cheerful Daisies and the Glorious Gingham DSP together!

Stampin’ Up! Masterfully Made Suite

Oh goodness, I just played with a new suite of products and didn’t want to quit… This Majestically Made DSP is just beautiful: love the colors and the variety of patterns. And the Majestically Made stamp set & dies are beautiful. I chose to make a top fold card using the Lost Lagoon card stock and Lemon Lime Twist for contrast.

Stampin' Up! Majestically Made Suite

I cut a panel of DSP 4 x 5 and made five 1 x 4 pieces. I added these to a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 panel of Lemon Lime Twist While this ribbon is not part of the suite of products found on pages 102-103 in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, I decided a simple fold over and adhered with a couple of glue dots. I die cut this gorgeous leaf using the Masterfully Made Dies and lemon Lime Twist card stock. I adhered the leaf in place with glue dots as well. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink on a scrap of the Masterfully Made DSP and die cut it with the banner die from Masterfully Made Dies. I added it over the ribbon & die cut leaf with dimensionals. For final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio in White – also a part of this suite. This entire panel was added to the Lost Lagoon card stock with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Suie, inside

For the inside of the card, I used Lost Lagoon ink and the Masterfully Made stamp set and randomly stamped the ‘wording’ stamp in second generation ink. I then stamped the large leaf from the same stamp set in the same second generation manner with Lost Lagoon ink. I adhered this to a panel of Lemon Lime Twist, then into the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully made card & envelope.1
Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made card & envelope.2

For the envelope… a left over piece of the Masterfully Made DSP for the flap and for the front, more of the stamped off ‘words’ in Lost Lagoon ink from the Masterfully Made stamp set. And the set was done. Love it!

I’m not sure how Stampin’ Up! does it, but the Designer Series Papers seem to get better & better and… I have learned to USE THEM not HOARD THEM :O) One of my problems though, is I want to just play with one set at a time and there are so many new ones I haven’t played with yet!!! Ah, time.

Stampin' Up! Inked Botanicals card front

This card uses the Inked Botanicals DSP, the Inked & tiled stamp set AND the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I’ve mixed some colors together that I would not normally do – – and like it.

I pulled out this fun pattern of DSP from the Inked Botanicals, then started die cutting images using the Timeless Arrangements Dies in Lost Lagoon (love this new color!) Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and I pulled in a bit of Basic White as well. I stamped the sentiment from Inked & Tiled in Lost Lagoon on a Very Vanilla scrap and die cut it with the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I adhered the layers of springs and sprays together with liquid glue, attached the sentiment as well then set about doing the rest. The DSP is cut 3 x 4, the Crushed Curry at 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 and added those two together with liquid glue. I put dimensional on the back of those two pieces and adhered them to the Lost Lagoon card base. The sentiment and sprays were added with dimensionals along the bottom of the sentiment and a bit of liquid glue for the upper section.

Stampin' Up! Inked Botanicals w/ Inked & Tiled stamp set

For the inside, I used a Very Vanilla panel 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped it with Crushed Curry ink and one of the flowers from Inked & Tiled stamp set, adhered it into the card and voila – card is complete.

Stampin' Up! Inked Botanicals card/ envelope

For the envelope, more of the Inked Botanicals for the flap and the same flower for the envelope front, just this time in Crushed Curry & Calypso Coral inks. Such a fun, lively card. – and my daughter is going to love it. It goes out today!!!

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies for the hop 5/4

I started with a card base of Copper Clay and added a layer of Wild Wheat. Adhered to that is a Designer Series Paper layer of Fresh as a Daisy with the Moody Mauve side up. The top two layers are Wild Wheat & the Moody Mauve background of the Fresh As a Daisy DSP. Together, those were added with dimensionals. Next – die cutting the daisy using the Cheerful Daisy Dies in Basic White, two layers, and attaching them together with dabs of glue. I used the Light Wild Wheat Blends to add color to the center, then attached the daisy to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Moody Mauve ink on a strip of Bubble Bath and slipped under the mounted daisy with a bit of glue on the backside. I added two die cuts of the branchy/twiggy thing, one in Wild Wheat and the other in Basic White. Because they are so thin, I added those with a coupler of glue dots. For a final touch, I added three Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies, inside card

For the inside, a layer of Wild Wheat was added to the card base. I then stamped the Basic White panel with this pretty daisy from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Bubble Bath ink. I didn’t think I would like this color combination, but I really do :O) The Bubble Bath is really a sweet shade of pink.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Moody Mauve from the Fresh As A Daisy DSP for the flap. For the envelope front, a single sweet daisy from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Bubble Bath ink.

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Inn At Play

Good morning! It is May 2 and you know what that is… the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is LIVE! WooHoo! Today’s card uses products from that new catalog: the Countryside Inn bundle and the Countryside Inn DSP. This DSP is so sweet in shades of blue and some fun little animals.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn.2

I used the Countryside in Dies to cut two panels, one in Night of Navy and the smaller in the Countryside Inn DSP. Before adhering them together, I added a strip of Basic White behind the smaller die cut. I pulled out my Petal Park stamp set and the Petal Park Builder Punch. I inked the three stamps of flowers in Misty Moonlight and stamped that a couple of times on Basic White, then punched them out. I punched another couple of sets in Pool Part and also in Night of Navy and began putting them together. Once the flowers were attached to this fun shape, I set about determining a background. I toyed with several ideas and decided on using the Hobnail Glass Dots embossing folder from the Online Exclusives and running it through on Basic White. I lined that with Night of Navy and added both to a Thick Basic White card base. I popped the die cut main ‘attraction’ on dimensionals and the card front was nearly complete. For a bit of sparkle I added the 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Boho Blue and Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn.2 inside

For the inside I added a layer of Night of Navy panel, then stamped on a Basic White panel in Boho Blue. These stamps come from the Countryside Inn stamp set. Isn’t the circles one fun? This was adhered to thee inside and I moved on to the envelope

Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn.2 envelope front
Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn.2 Envelope flap

More stamped circles on the envelope front, with Boho Blue ink, then this very same DSP for the envelope flap ~ adhered and trimmed to fit. Done!

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies for 4/27 Thur Hop

I’ve chosen to use the Cheerful Daisy Stamp set and it’s coordinating Cheerful Daisy Dies. They are so great – love the layering possibilities and the texture as well. Above you see the NEW Copper Clay card base. What a beauty this paper is… The DSP is from Fresh As A Daisy and is one of the panels on the first page of the Designer Series Paper.. I attached that front piece to a Basic White panel cut to the same size (3 1/8 x 4 14). I then took a small rectangle DSP on that front panel and cut it down so it shares the stage by sticking out at each side. I adhered that to the card front, then added the two panels with dimensionals. I die cut the daisy outline in Boho Blue (NEW), then the two coordinating layers in Basic White and adhered them all together with liquid glue. I popped it up on dimensionals & added it to the card front. I cut a length of this gorgeous Texture Ribbon in Copper Clay, folded it over and added it in place with Stampin Seal+. The final touch for the front was the 2023-2025 In Colt Dots – in Boho Blue of course.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies for the 4/27 hop, inside

I cut a piece of Boho Blue 3 3/8 x 4 3/4 and adhered it in place on the inside of the card. I added the Basic White piece on top (3 1/4x 4 5/8).

Again the daisy has three parts: the outline is Copper Clay, the two top portions are Basic White – all adhered together and added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies for the Hop 4/27, card & envelope

For the envelope… a bit of DSP on the bottom front of the envelope, to carry over a bit of the front of the card. For the flap, a different piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP, adhered & trimmed to fit. What a fun project ~ and I loved every minute of putting it together.

Stampin’ Up! Playing in Daisies

Good morning! I have a bright, cheerful card for you today. It uses retiring Rain or Shine DSP and the carrying over Playing in the Rain stamps & Dies.. You might remember that I’m making daisy cards for a couple of folks as I’m attending a convention the first weekend in May. As I was pulling retiring items I saw this adorable paper and quickly made this card.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain bundle

All the DSP used for this card are from the Rain or Shine collection. I only have a bit left, which is good since it’s retiring. :o) I cut the DSP panel with the second largest of the retiring Stitched Rectangles Dies, then adhered it to a slightly larger panel of Old Olive. I took another piece of the DSP (see the raindrops strip behind), it’s 1 3/4 x 5 1/2 and adhered it to the Balmy Blue card base. The Old Olive piece is adhered, centering, with dimensionals. I die cut the turtle from one of the Designer Series Papers in this pack and adhered it with dimensionals as though he were walking through the field of flowers. I added a white bow from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack using the white twine and pulling two threads from a length to make the bow. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a strip about 5/8 x 3″ from another piece of the DSP and added it to the back of the circle with Stampin’ Seal+, then attached the circle with dimensionals to the card front. I trimmed the ends of the strip after adhering it. I added three Glossy Dots to the circle for some added sparkle.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain card inside

For the inside, I added a strip of Old Olive to the Basic White panel, then used another Stylish Shapes Die to cut this fun flower image and adhered it over the Old Olive strip. The panel was adhered to the inside of the card and done!

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain card & Envelope.

For the envelope… the backside of this particular piece of DSP is this fun check – and I adhered it to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped the adorable daisies in Memento ink and colored with Daffodil Delight Blends. This creates a fun, cheerful card for any occasion.

Couple of things…

Stampin’ Up! Fresh As A Daisy Cards

WooHoo – welcome to Tuesday! The other day I tore into my package of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the very first sheet is full of card front panels, which I immediately cut apart. I shared my first card using the coordinating Cheerful Dies and Cheerful Daisy stamp set – you may find that here. Today’s cards – yep, two of them, use more of that DSP but very little of the dies. Here is card 1…

Stamp[in' Up! Fresh as a Daisy
Stampin' Up! Freash as a daisy card inside
Stampin' Up! Fresh as a daisy card & envelope

The panel is layered onto an Early Espresso panel, then wrapped in this gorgeous Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon and added to the Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisies stamp set with Early Espresso ink on Basic White and die cut it with the banner die from Cheerful Daisy Dies. This was adhered over the ribbon. I looped a length of the same ribbon around the band and tied a single knot., then added a glue dot under the knot to secure in place. Final touches: Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots on the sentiment and Wink of Stella on each of the brown flower centers.

Stampin' Up! Fresh as a daisy with Wink of Stella

For the inside, I stamped the daisy in Wild Wheat and the center in Early Espresso, using Wink of Stella on the brown center of the flower :O) This was a Basic White panel and was adhered directly to the inside of the card. I stamped the same images on the envelope front, same inks and everything. I’m hoping you can see the Wink of Stella shine in this single photo.

For the second card… totally different colors but from that same Fresh As A Daisy sheet as the card above.

Stampin' Up! Fresh As A Daisy card 2
Stampin' Up! Fresh As.A Daisy card 2, inside
Stampin' Up!  Fresh As A Daisy card 2 w/ envelope

How different is this card from the previous, right?! The main color that pops is the new Bubble Bath. I adhered this DSP front to a slightly larger piece of Crushed Curry. I ran a Garden Green piece through the Basic 3D embossing folder called Cross Hatch (purchased from the Online Store!) I added this directly to the Thick Basic White card base, then added the DSP panel with dimensionals on top of it. I stamped the sentiment on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White with the new Bubble Bath ink and added it to the card front with dimensionals. The banner got two Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight, then I added three more to the DSP panel. The final touch was this bow made with the Gold & Vanilla Satin Edge Ribbon, added with a glue dot.

Again, a super simple inside: this daisy stamp from Cheerful daisies, stamped in Crushed Curry ink on the Basic White panel. This piece was attached to the inside of the card. The envelope got the same treatment, one on the envelope front and one on the flap. Done, done.

I am making a group of about five cards (maybe more) to give to a friend – all daisy inspired. I’m attending a convention first weekend in May and that’s when I’ll give them to her :O)

Speaking of May… couple of things… May 2 is when the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog goes live.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies

Good morning stamping friends. It’s Saturday! The other day I mentioned that my box of goodies had arrived from Stampin’ Up! with fun new products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Well, I didn’t know where to begin…. but I was drawn to the daisies. So here we go… Cheerful Daisies Bundle, first play.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies

The daisies is all one die, until I added layers. :O) But I want you to understand/ know, this is all together. The other thing is, they can be cut apart after die cutting to use individually. Look on page 111 of the new catalog at the coordinating Fresh as a Daisy DSP. This particular paper came from the large sheet with all the individual patterns. The coordinating colors here are Pretty Peacock (a returning color) and Wild Wheat, a new 2023-2025 In Color. This photo makes it look more yellow than it really is, but it’s more of a dark mustard. I’m really liking it.

Here’s the ‘how to’ for this card. I took apart the cover sheet of this DSP, setting aside all the other squares and rectangles cut from the paper. This DSP panel is 4 x 5 1/4. I adhered it to a Basic White piece 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then onto a Wild Wheat card base just an eensy bit larger. I die cut the large panel of daises from Thick Basic White, then the layers that go on each of the three. I used a sponge dauber to lightly color, using Wild Wheat ink. I then adhered these in place with tiny dabs of liquid glue. I die cut the sentiment banner – yep, part of the dies in the Cheerful daisies Dies, in Wild Wheat and while I was at it die cut the two daisies ‘centers’ also from Wild Wheat. The sentiment I chose is cute, but had extra words I didn’t want to use, so I taped those off, I stamped in VersaMark, removed the tape and stamped on the banner; sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set from the back side. Why the back side? I find it gives a more clear finish and doesn’t blow off any of the little powders.

I added the little die cut ‘circles’ to the backs of the two larger daises. I wanted all the detail to show, but wanted some color behind as well. I added dimensionals to the daisies and adhered them in place. I slipped the banner under one of the daisies and adhered with liquid glue. I added the bow with glue dots using the Simply Elegant Trim in gold. I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Lemon Lolly (new color and new gems – available May 2!)

For the inside…. On a Basic White panel I stamped the daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set. This is a two-step stamp; the background is stamped off While Wheat; the more detail stamp is full strength Wild Wheat. The center is stamped in Early Espresso ink. I wanted to carry the Pretty Peacock to the inside of the card, so adhered the panel to a slightly larger piece. Now… here’s the really funny part… are you ready?

True confessions: I went to adhere this to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base and realized I had adhered the daisies & banner upside down!!! Now I just have to say – I have never done this before and I was really surprised – AND disappointed. I trimmed the upper portion of the card off and cut it down a bit so it would fit on a Basic White Thick card base. It worked, just not what I had wanted.

For the envelope… More of the fun Fresh as a Daisy DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit., and the same stamped daisy on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Masculine Card

Good Sunday morning! I have a quick and easy masculine card for you today using By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration

Notice how the DSP has a continuous flow of the pattern. I love it when that happens! The DSP was cut 1 x 4 (three of them) and adhered to a Balmy Blue panel 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. This was attached to a very slightly larger Sahara Sand card stock, 3 5/8 x 4 5/8. I wrapped this gorgeous Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon around these panels and tied a knot. These panels were adhered the to a Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. I took this wonderful image of the seagull on pilings from Waves of Inspiration stamp set and stamped it with Sahara Sand ink. I colored the bill of the seagull very lightly with Watercolor Pencils Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie, die cut with the Waves Dies and attached it over the ribbon with dimensionals. And the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration Masculine card inside.
Stampin' Up! By the Bay DSP

For the inside…. a Sahara Sand panel was attached to the inside of the card, then a piece of Basic White, then a strip of the Bay the Bay on the left side. Also on the inside, I added another piece of the By the Bay DSP to the upper portion of the inside. It just really tied everything together and made the card extra special.

Now for the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration card & envelope

This Waves of Inspiration stamp set is just gorgeous! I stamped it first in Balmy Blue ink on the envelope front, then lightly added Night of Navy ink in places and stamped it again. It is really quite stunning. Of course, more of the By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap trimmed to fit.

Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy ink. AND the Watercolor Pencils are also carrying over :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper.

Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.

As so many items are being sold out rapidly, best thing to do is visit my ‘shop’ and see what’s still available. If it’s listed, it’s available. If it isn’t listed, it’s sold out – simple as that. The sale goes to May 1, 2023.

And… here’s my HOST CODE CXR49K4W for ordering any products from the retiring lists or any other items… order from me here and be sure to use my HOST CODE CXR49K4W. Look for my name listed as your demonstrator at the top of the page!

When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose.
