Cheerful Daisies - Birthday Card


This is a lovely birthday card made with the Cheerful Daisies Bundle, but why not get the Suite and get all the beautiful collections including the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and the Adhesive Solid Gems.  Although, I used the Brushed Brass Butterflies on this particular card which was inspired by Eric Cerwin.  She used Daffodil Delight cardstock and a different label.  Here are the instructions for my card:

Stamp Set:  Cheerful Daisies

Cardstock:  Crushed Curry, Basic White, Fresh as a Daisy DSP

Ink:  Garden Green, Crushed Curry

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Cheerful Daisies Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Sponge Dauber, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

1.     The base of the card is Crushed Curry cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is the Fresh as a Daisy DSP cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Cut Crushed Curry cardstock at 3” x 4-1/4” and adhere the Fresh as a Daisy (Crushed Curry Stripes) with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to it.

4.    Die-cut the large daisy die using Basic White cardstock in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.  Use a dauber to color in the centers of the daisies with Crushed Curry ink.

5.    Adhere the daisies to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the center of the middle layers.

6.    Ink up the sentiment “Wishing You the Brightest Birthday” with Garden Green ink on Basic White cardstock.  Die-cut it out with the label from the Cheerful Daisies Die and attach it with Stampin’ Dimensionals below the daisies on the layers.

7.    Add three Brushed Brass Butterflies at the top.

Cheerful Daisies - Happy Birthday Card

I'm so in love with the new Cheerful Daisies stamp set.  I hope to make a lot more cards with this set.  It also has the Cheerful Daisies Die that can be purchased as a Bundle.  This card makes a fabulous birthday card and I used Misty Moonlight returning the color and the new Lemon Lolly to make my card.  More details are below for what I used for this card.

Stamp Set:  Cheerful Daisies

Cardstock:  Misty Moonlight, Lemon Lolly, Basic White

Ink:  Misty Moonlight, Lemon Lolly

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Radiating Stitches Dies, Cheerful Daisies Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glue Dots

 

1.     The base of the card is Misty Moonlight cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Lemon Lolly cut at approximately 4” x 5-1/2” so when it is inserted into the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the largest Radiating Stitched Die, it will cut and emboss the cardstock.

3.    The third layer is Misty Moonlight cardstock cut at approximately 2-3/4” x 4-1/4” so that will do the same as the large die.

4.    Ink up the largest outline daisy stamp with Misty Moonlight on Basic White cardstock.  Ink up the largest image daisy stamp with Misty Moonlight ink, second generation (after inking, stamp off on grid paper) on top of the first image (2-step stamping).

5.    Ink up the stem and two leaves on Basic White Cardstock with Misty Moonlight and die-cut with the flower, stem, and two leaves with the Cheerful Daisies Dies.

6.    Arrange the daisy, stem, and leaves on the Radiating Stitched Misty Moonlight cardstock.  Adhere them with Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and Dimensionals.

7.    Ink up the daisy center with Lemon Lolly ink and die-cut with the Cheerful Daisies Die.

 

8.    Ink up the sentiment “Wishing you the Brightest Birthday” with Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White and die-cut with the label from the Cheerful Daisies Dies.  Attach below the daisy with Dimensionals.

Beautiful Balloons - Gift Card Holder

 

 
At my recent card club, we made this adorable gift card holder.  It's been a while since I've made a gift card holder, so I thought everyone needs to know how to make them since we all give gift cards a lot.  Plus they are easy to make with the right tools.  It uses the beautiful Bright and Beautiful DSP as well as some of the new and returing Core colors - Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly, and Berry Burst.


Stamp Set:  Beautiful Balloons - Gift Card Holder

Cardstock:  Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly, Berry Burst, Basic White, 6” x 6” Bright & Beautiful DSP

Ink:  Azure Afternoon

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Beautiful Balloons Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

1.     The base of the card is the new Azure Afternoon cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” and 2-1/4”.  Fold and burnish the score lines with a Bone Folder.

2.    The Bright & Beautiful DSP is cut at 3” x 4” and adhered to the front of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Ink up the sentiment “Happy Birthday” with Azure Afternoon ink on Lemon Lolly cardstock.  Die-cut with the confetti label die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies.  Adhere to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the DSP.

4.    For the inside flap:  Use Tear and Tape on either side of to create a pocket for a gift card or money.  I used a 1” punch (retired) to create a half-moon to make it easier to remove a gift card.

5.    For the inside:  Cut Basic White cardstock at 4” x 5-1/4” and ink up the sentiment “I think it’s time for a Celebration” with Azure Afternoon ink on the left side.

6.    Mark with a pencil your space on the right side before stamping so that you don't put the die-cut balloons over to over.  You can erase it later.

7.    Die-cut a large Azure Afternoon balloon.  Die-cut a Lemon Lolly and Berry Burst smaller balloons.  Lay out your balloons for placement before attaching them. Ink up the string stamp with Azure Afternoon ink and stamp them on the right side of the pencil mark.

8.    Attach the balloons to the stamped strings with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

9.    Erase the pencil mark.  Insert a gift card or money inside the flap.
