My new Daisy Garden Stamp Set arrive late yesterday afternoon, and I couldn't wait to make a card with it.  I used it as a background for more daises using the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and and two different size Daisy Punches.  Creating cards with Daises never gets old.  However, I wanted to try something a little different and decided to use a neutral palette rather than traditional daisy colors.  I used Sahara Sand  from the Neutrals 6" X 6" Designer Series paper, and paired it with one of the twines from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack.  All images were stamped in Sahara Sand ink, and I added a few Vellum Cardstock florals using the Forever Flourishing Dies.  Each of the daisies was stamped twice and layered.  I added a few Gilded Gems in the center of my Daisies.  If you already have the Daisy Lane Stamp Set, you'll want to pick up Daisy Garden Stamp Set to add more options for using both set.

The basecard for this card is Sahara Sand Cardstock.  Then a Basic White layer.  Next, I selected a Sahara Sand print from the Neutrals 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper, and stamped the image from the Daisy Garden Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink over the print.   I love the effect!

I stamped two of each size daisy, punched them with the coordinating Daisy Punches, and layered them to create a fuller Daisy.  They are popped up on Dimensionals before adding them to the card front.  I also die cut from Vellum Cardstock a few leaves to use behind the Daisies, using the Forever Flourishing Dies. They are very subtle against the stamped images    


Card ideas using Daisies from the Stampin' Up! daisy Garden Stamp Set


I used the Crumb Cake Twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack and wound it around the card 3 times before tying it in a multi-looped bow.  The sentiment is from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set, and it is stamped in Sahara Sand ink onto a sentiment created using the Always Dies.  I used Gilded Gems as the flower centers on one card, and used some retired gems from a couple of catalogs ago, that I really like with these Daisy images.

I know I'll be using the new Daisy Garden Stamp Set heavy.  If you have the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and coordinating punches, you'll want to add Daisy Garden Stamp Set to your shopping list to help you get more use out of your existing sets.  I love when Stampin' Up! designers give us new stamps that work with our existing stamps. You'll have a great time finding ways to the Daisy Garden Stamp Set with your Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Daisy Punches.   Order from my Stampin' Up! shopping site  24 X 7.

Back To Back Stamp Set reverses to create water-colored image with no extra work

     

  • Stampin' Up! Back To Back Blooms Stamp Set
  • Order from the January-June Mini Catalog until 30 June 2021
  • Order Expression In Color June Paper Pumpkin Kit now

While I wait for my new catalog order, I'm playing with stamps from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, which is still current.  I'm using the Back to Back Blooms set, which is a Reversible Stamp Set.  What does that mean?  It means that after you stamp an image, like the flowers, you pull the stamp from your clear block and turn it over, put it back on your clear block, ink it up, and use it to stamp a color onto the image you stamped previously.  I inked up the backside of my flowers with Misty Moonlight, stamped off twice and the third time I added the color to my flower images.  Magic! And fast!  Faster than coloring with Stampin' Blends or Stampin' Write Markers.   I used the new 7/8" Smoky Slate Textured Ribbon and some Misty Moonlight Ribbon to create the border on the right hand side of the page.  The sentiment is from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set.

I created the boarder on the right side of the card using cardstock and ribbons.  First a layer of Misty Moonlight Cardstock, then a layer of Basic White, then a layer of 7/8" Smoky Slate Textured Ribbon, and finally a Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In Color Ribbon.      


Handmade greeting card using Stampin' Up! Back To Back Blooms Stamp set


I stamped the flower images on Basic White Cardstock, then turned the Reversible stamps over and put them back on the clear block and used it to stamp the color inside each flowers.  I stamped-off twice before stamping the Misty Moonlight color onto the flower image.  I love that this technique gives a water-colored look, plus it doesn't stamp the color perfectly inside the image, giving the flowers a more artistic look.  I stamped the leaves in Smoky Slate before I glue my flowers into place.  Then I added a couple of 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots.
