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.

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.
