Encouragement Card featuring the Daisy Lane Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my YouTube Channel and blog; today I am going to share with you my Encouragement card that I created during my Facebook Live on Tuesday 6/4/19 using the New Daisy Lane Cling Stamp Set from the 2019 - 2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  This card is the feminine version of the design that I shared with you on Tuesday.  If you missed that video you can view it here.  Here's a look at my card for today.

I took the same design as I did on Tuesday's card but changed the orientation from Landscape to portrait.  I changed a few colors, but basically kept everything else the same.  With these few changes you can see has totally changed the look.
 I adore this color combo!  I would have never thought that Purple Posy, Soft Sea foam, and Grapefruit Grove would create such a beautifully colorful card.  I stamped the fern in Soft Sea foam on a piece of whisper white cardstock that was cut at 3 3/4 x 5.  Then used a Soft Sea foam mat (4 x 5 1/4) to frame the image.  I placed it on a Purple Posy card base that was cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  The sentiment was placed on a 1 1/8 x 3 3/4 piece of Purple Posy cardstock, and popped up with just a few Stampin' Dimensionals (lol).

So which version do you like the best?  Are you more fond of this version of the card or do you like the masculine version?  I am much more fond of the color combo in today's card, but I love bright cheerful colors.

Daisy Lane For #PCC339

Hello and welcome my blog; today I am going to share with you my card for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Challenge.  This week we have a real fun sketch for you that makes for some very creative cards.  I am using the Daisy Lane Stamp set which is my featured product of the week, this week.  Here's a look at my cute little card.

Here's a look at the sketch that inspired my sketch for today.  You can click on the the sketch image to visit the Paper Craft Crew site and check out all the projects the design team came up with this week.

Tips & Tricks: 

This is a super easy card that was very quick to create.  I started out with my card base which by the way is one of the 2019-2021 Stampin' Up! In Colors.  I picked Pretty Peacock for my card base today; I cut it at 4 1/4 x 11 and then scored it at 5 1/2.  I started out by stamping the fern image from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock ink for a tone on tone look.  I then stamped my sentiment in Pretty Peacock on a  piece of Whisper White cardstock (3 x 4).  On some scrap I stamped one of the large daisies from the set in Pretty Peacock ink and then used the Large Daisy Punch and punched it out. 
I then punched one more daisy with the Large Daisy Punch with a piece of vellum cardstock.  After I had all the punch work done I matted the Whisper White piece on a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock that was cut at 3 1/8 x 4 1/8.  I then added dimensionals behind this piece.  Before, adding it to the card front I added a strip of Crushed Curry stripped Washi tape from the Follow Your Art Washi Tape pack.  
I added my daisy to the front of the card using a Stampin' Dimensionals.  To the center of the daisy I added one of the Perennial Essence Floral Centers.  This added the perfect little accent to the card.  I then added three of the 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots to the front.  
And, that finished off my card for today.  I told you it was super easy and quick.  If you need any of the products you have seen today you can pick them up in my online store.  Don't forget that I've kicked off my Slizzin' Summer Promotion and you can get your name into the hat for a chance to win a prize from the 2019 Holiday Catalog.  You get your name in for every $30 you spend plus there are a few more ways as well.  You can click on the promotion image below and find out all the details.
