Beautiful You meets Daisy Lane

Hello, it's lovely you've popped by today!

Happy Birthday Jenny

My lovey daughter is having a birthday today, and here's the card I created for her. (it's based on one I saw on Lisa's Stamp Studio blog).

To recreate the card, you will need:

Ⓡ = retired, (ss) = stamp set, all measurements are Centimetres

Card Stock: Pear Pizzazz 16 x 11.2 (first layer)
Vellum: 4.5 x 9
Very Vanilla 3 pieces 24.5 x 17 scored at 12.25 (card base), 10 x 13.5 (top background), 4.5 x 17.5 (daisies and pretty label)
Dies: Stitched Rectangle
Elements: Faceted Gems, Gingham Gala Sequins Ⓡ
Punches: Leaf, Medium Daisy, Pretty Label
Stamp Sets: Beautiful You, Daisy Lane

The card base, first layer and Daughter sentiment were cut using non stampin' up products.
Randomly stamp the 2nd layer with the daisy and leaf stamp from the daisy lane (ss) and then use a dauber to colour the daisy centres. Add the 'Life looks beautiful on you' sentiment from the beautiful you (ss) towards the top right corner and then die cut using the largest rectangle from the stitched rectangle dies.
Stamp and punch out the rest of the elements using the daisy lane (ss), leaf, medium daisy and pretty label punches (if you adhere the vellum using removable tape to a piece of normal copy paper it will cut much better, but remember to remove it before adhering to the card).
Arrange all the elements  on  the card and adhere down.
Add the faceted gem to the daisy and the gingham gala sequins to the 'smile' sentiment.

Will be back again soon with more cards

Daisy Lane meets A Wish For Everything

Hello everyone, hope you're day is going well

Happy Birthday Leah!

This card is for one of my granddaughters and the problem is she's not a tomboy but neither is she girly so it's hard to decide what to create for her.

So this is what I came up with!

We went Lichfield Cathedral a couple of weeks ago to see the Space show, which was amazing!!!!  and when we got to the SHOP at the end of the show, as you always do, I just couldn't resist this lovely mason jar with the twinkle twinkle little star on it and lights inside. So hubby was very good to me and bought it for me, isn't he the best!!

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
(cs) = Card Stock, (ss) = Stamp Set, dsp = Designer Series Paper, Ⓡ = Retired, When using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

All measurement are in centimetres

Card Stock: Blueberry Bushel 8.5 x 7 (pocket)
Call Me Clover 4 pieces  21 x 14.8 (card base), 5 x 7 (leaves), 6 x 4 (happy), 3.5 x 1.5 (stitched tag)
Pineapple Punch 5 x 10 (daisy)
Whisper White 1 x 2.5 (birthday)
Dies: Needlepoint Elements, nested labels, Pretty Pines, Word Wishes
DSP: In Colors 18-20 6.8 x 10.5 (1st layer)
Embossing Folders: Layered Leaves, Ⓡ Pretty Pines, Stitched Nested Labels
Punches: Medium Daisy
Ribbon: In Color Grosgrain
Stampin' Pads: Call Me Clover
Accessories: Faceted Gems


Starting with the larger piece of call me clover (cs) score and fold at 10.5, this is the card base.

Emboss, the top front 8.5 centimetres of the card base, using the layering leaves folder.

Using liquid glue adhere the in color (dsp) to the front of card at the bottom.

Add a strip of grosgrain ribbon across the join between the two colours using narrow tear n tape.

It's now time to do the die cutting, you will need to run the pocket through 4 times in all.
For the 1st pass using the stitched nested labels dies and the straight edge die run through along the narrower edge for the top stitching (this does not cut, it only gives the stitching effect).
For the 2nd pass run through with (7) stitched nested label along with the rest of the pieces that need cutting. With the call me clover (cs) pieces, cut the leaves from pretty pines, the happy from word wishes and the stitched tag from the stitched labels dies.

For the embossing on the pocket follow the directions below:
1. big shot platform
2. cutting pad
3. die face up, taped to the back of the pocket
4. thin silicone mat (blue)
5. Impressions pad (white)

Run through twice to create the (+) cross.

With the piece of pineapple punch (cs) stamp the medium daisy twice using pineapple punch ink, then punch them out with the medium daisy punch, and brush lightly with a wink of stella.

Using dimensional pads position the pocket, add the leaves using liquid glue, adhere the two daisies together with liquid glue then adhere to the card using a dimensional pad.

Adhere the happy sentiment using liquid glue.

With the small piece of whisper white (cs) stamp the 'birthday' from the a wish for everything (ss) in call me clover and trim down. Adhere to the stitched tag using liquid glue and add to the card using dimensional pads.

Add the faceted gems.

This looks to be a lot of work but it isn't I assure you!

Will be back again soon with more cards.

New Wonders meets A Little Lace

Hi folks, hope you're having a good day

Hoorah!! it's the 4th September which means the new Autumn Winter Catalogue is going live today, check it out by clicking on the image on the right. It will take you straight to the catalogue in full. If you wish to order anything and you are happy to have me as your demonstrator just email me (details on my contact page) and I will be happy to help you.

I really enjoyed making this card, loved the stamps and the colours.  They are my granddaughters favourite colours so I know she'll just love it.

These are sets I think will always stay in my craftroom, I think they're just gorgeous.

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
(cs) = Card Stock, dsp = Designer Series Paper, ® = Retired, (ss) = Stamp Set

All measurements are in Centimetres

Card Stock: Highland Heather 2 pieces 14.8 x 21, 4 x 4
Seaside spray 10 x 14.2
Vellum 10 x 4.5
Whisper White 2 pieces 13.8 x 9.5, 3.5 x 3.5
Embossing Folders: Subtle
Embossing Powder: White
Punches: Medium Daisy, 1⅛ Scallop circle, 1⅜ Scallop circle
Ribbon: ® Organdy Combo
Stamp Sets: A Little Lace, Daisy Lane, New Wonders
Stampin' Blends: Highland Heather, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, Soft Suede, So Saffron

Stampin' Pads: Highland Heather, Seaside Spray

Accessories: Faceted Gems, ® Gingham Gala Sequins, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, VersaMark, Wink of Stella

Start with the larger piece of Highland Heather (cs) measuring 14.8 x 21, score and fold at 10.5, this is now your card base.

Next using the larger piece of  whisper white (cs), (on reflection I think Shimmery White (cs) would have been better) stamp the fairy from the new wonders (ss) towards the top right hand side in memento ink, now stamp the first greeting in highland heather so it's sitting just below the nib of the pen. Stamp the swirly daisy from the a little lace (ss) at the bottom in seaside spray.

Using the stampin' blends colour in the fairy using both the light and dark blends to emphasis the shadow. For the wings use the wink of stella so they will shimmer nicely.

Now layer this piece with the piece of  seaside spray (cs) using liquid glue, and emboss using the subtle folder.

Next using the piece of vellum and the daisy lane (ss) stamp the smaller daisy twice in VersaMark and then heat emboss using white embossing powder.

Punch out both these daisies using the Medium Daisy punch. Then curl the petals of the first one up and the petals on the second one down before adhering them together using liquid glue.

Stamp the second sentiment using the smaller piece of whisper white (cs) in highland heather and punch out using the 1⅛ Scallop circle punch.

Now punch out the second circle using the 1⅜" scallop circle punch and the smaller piece of highland heather (cs). Layer these 2 circles using dimensional pads.

Wrap some ® organdy ribbon around the bottom of the 2nd and 3rd layers, securing at the back with glue dots.  Add dimensional pads to the back and adhere to the card base.

Use liquid glue to secure the daisy in place, and dimensional pads for the scalloped circles. Add one of  the gingham gala sequins to the bottom sentiment and a faceted gem in the middle of the daisy and that's it folks job done!!

Will be back again soon with more cards.
