You'll leave with 3 beautiful cards.  You'll love sending these thoughtful, handmade cards to loved ones to celebrate special birthdays, let someone know your thinking of them, or a quick, grateful a thank you, or sending them a beautiful Spring greetings.  You can customize your cards with alternate sentiments.

What's the number one Stamp Set this first week of the new catalog?

  • Daisy Lane Stamp Set
  • One more day to register for Cookies and Card Class June 9, 2019
  • Download a copy of the new annual Stampin' Up! Catalog

Daisy Lane Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!


The number one stamp set purchased this first week of the new Stampin' Up! catalog is Daisy Lane!  This new Stampin' Up! Stamp Set includes two Daisies.  The larger Daisy works with the Daisy Punch, which you probably already have from last year's catalog.  If not, it's in the new catalog as well.  The smaller Daisy in the Daisy Lane Stamp Set works with a new, Medium Daisy Punch, a new punch in this year's catalog.  You can see the new Daisy Lane Bundle on page 5, and then look at page 23 of your new, annual Stamin' Up! catalog for more samples.  Last year, I created many brightly colored flowers using the Daisy Punch.  My first Daisy card this year is a soft, monochromatic card with a lot of texture.  You're going to love creating with this new stamp set and coordinating punches.     

       




Because I chose a monochromatic card, I wanted a lot of texture to give it more warmth.  This card uses vellum for the leaves and the Subtle 3D Embossing folder plus double layers of stamped Daisies.    
  


The basecard on today's card is Sahara Sand.  Then a layer of Whisper White.  Then a layer of Sahara Sand die cut using the Stitched Rectangles and then dry embossed with the 3D Subtle Embossing Folder.  Then I grabbed a stripped Neutrals 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper from the "retired" stack of items I'm decluttering from craft room, and cut a 2" strip that worked perfectly with my card.   

For the image area, I stated with a Whisper White label from the Stitched Labels Die.  Then I stamped the large Magnolia from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set in Sahara Sand ink on Vellum cardstock.  I die cut the image using the Magnolia Memory Dies.  I wanted to use the leaves, only, from this image, but using the whole image means the leaves were positioned beautifully for my use.      
  



I then stamped two large daisies in Sahara Sand and two medium Daisies in Sahara Sand on Whisper White cardstock and punched them out using the Daisy Punch and the new Medium Daisy Punch.  I popped up the larger Daisy on Dimensionals and place both Daisies over the Velum layer. 

Then I stamped the sentiment on a strip of Whisper White using Sahara Sand Ink  I accented the flower centers and the sentiment with Clear Faceted Gems, which matched the sentiment perfectly.

Be sure to add this popular new stamp set and punch bundle to your shopping list.  You're sure to find lots of inspiration for using this set.
