Fresh as a Daisy

Posted on by

Today’s cards all use the lovely Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (161289) that is part of the Fresh as a Daisy Suite of Products (161301). This suite contains the Cheerful Daisy Bundle (161297) that was used to stamp these cards.

These first two cards use the one sheet for a traditional look and feel.

I love the way that the vellum is used to soften the look of the Designer Series Paper and create a softer look. How about you? And this next card uses the wonderful Moody Mauve sheet to create this next card and a different feel.

And this paper has got a great sheet of easy panels that you can use to create a card front – just add some daisies and a sentiment. And if you love jute, you’ll want to be sure to look for our 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) that was used for this last card.

Did you know that the Designers Series Paper is on sale during the month of June? Right now you can save 15% on this lovely Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (161289).

You’ll want to order the individual items to take advantage of the sale price for this paper, but no worries if you love this Bundle you’ll still get the 10% savings when you order it. So why not stop by my Online Store and take a look at this and our other lovely papers on sale and save?

Beauty of the Deep

Summer has started and that always makes me thing of the beach. How about you? I got my first real taste of snorkeling and fell in love with it. Normally we had start off the beach, but the boat allowed a much different experience and there was much beauty in the Molokini Crater. So when I saw the Beauty of the Deep Bundle (161237) in the 2023 Annual Catalog I knew is would be a great one for ocean themed cards and would bring back those wonderful days of snorkeling.

Today’s card was created with the Beauty of the Deep stamp set (161233).

The background has been brushed with Lost Lagoon and Blueberry Bushel to create a watery effect and create movement. And the lovely little Iridescent Pastel Gems (160429) were used for the bubbles and picks up the colors around it. A die cut anchor done in Pebbled Path adds a bit more depth to the scene.

Can you feel the movement of the water? And the sun?

It’s Friday and that means it’s time to share another fun tutorial with you. This month our Designer Series Papers are on sale and so I thought I’d share a fun fold with you that shows off our beautiful Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467). After all who isn’t a fan of blue? And this paper with it’s shades of blue is one of my favorites from the Annual Catalog. It’s also on sale during the month of June, woohoo who doesn’t like to save?

I’ve teamed up this paper with the Biggest Wish Stamp set (155052) because I love the bold sentiments. The fact that you can team up the bold sentiments with the secondary sentiment which uses a lovely font is a bonus too.

And with so many shades of blue to choose from in our Classic Inks your options are endless. Today’s project uses our new 2023-2023 In Color Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and our returning Balmy Blue Classic Inks.

Here is a quick video tutorial for you so you can make this fun fold too! I’ve got a printable tutorial with the measurements, supply list and more to make crafting easy.

Soft & Lovely Artistically Inked Card Tutorial

Today’s card has a soft vintage feel to it and is a quick and easy card that uses three of our new colors. This Color Refresh is the best one I’ve seen yet as I love the color selection and the fact that we have great pairs that you can team up for two step stamping too.

I’ve used the two step Artistically Inked Stamp set (154542) to stamp this card. It’s a Cling stamp set, but it’s a very forgiving stamp set making stamping easy since it’s not designed to line up perfectly.

I’ve got a quick tutorial for you so you can not only see how I created it, but can also make one too! My PDF has the complete supply list and measurements for you.
