Cheerful Daisies Layered Daisy Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral cards for Spring using our Cheerful Daisies Stamps and Dies. These have always been a favorite set of mine, so I had so much fun revisiting them for these two clean and simple cards.

For my first card today featuring the Cheerful Daisies Stamps, I started by stamping a classic white daisy using only the top petal layer of the daisy image, which I stamped with a very pale ink called Barely Beige by Simon Says Stamp. I kept my color scheme yellow and green to match my daisies, filling the background with a yellow polka-dot patterned paper from our Polka-dot Parade Paper pack. I then layered our Botanical Backdrop Die over the top, which I cut from olive green cardstock. 

I cut three extra groupings of leaves by positioning some of my leftover cardstock to run through my machine again with the same die so I could fill in more of my edges with the leafy vines since my two daisies grouped on the bottom were pretty large and obstructed the view of many of the leaves. To add interest, I added some vein details to each leaf with my G07 Copic sketch marker. For my sentiment, I stamped the oversized "Happy Birthday" phrase from our Big Bold Greetings Stamps in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Lastly, I adhered some yellow Citrine Jewels to add a little sparkle and help fill in some visually empty spots.

Ink Color used for White Daisy: 

• Simon Says Stamp Barely Beige (Petals)
• Versafine Cheerful (Flower Center)
• Gina K. Wild Dandelion
• PinkFresh Studio Marigold

Ink colors used for Green Leaves:

• PinkFresh Grassy Knoll
• Hero Arts Fresh Lawn (or Gina K. Lucky Clover)
• PinkFresh Studio Olive

For my second card today, I inked up all my gerber daisies from our Cheerful Daisies Stamps in various pink hues, pairing them with the woven basket from our Layered Basket Stamps. To embrace my country feel, I paired the flowers with a scalloped mat cut using our Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies from a lilac gingham print. However, the lilac gingham from our Gingham Pastels Paper pack is a bit more vibrant and it felt like it was competing for attention with the flowers in the foreground. I considered covering it with a piece of vellum, but decided I didn't want to mess with finding a way to hide the adhesive. Instead I applied a layer of white Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink over the top of my patterned paper with a Jumbo Dauber to tone it down and make it appear more muted. This was my first time attempting something like this and while the background is still a bit busier than I wanted, it helped give me the look I was after. I finished my Mother's Day card with a small sentiment from our Puppy Parents Stamps.

• Hero Arts Peony
• Hero Arts Cotton Candy

Inside Greetings Congrats Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Hello Sunny Studio friends! It’s Bobbi here with a baby card to share. I am using the following products by Sunny Studio Stamps:

Baby Elephant Stamps and coordinating die set

Inside Greetings: Congratulations stamps

Bursting Hearts Die

Icing Border Dies

I used Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock for all of the cardstock elements and black dye ink for the stamping.

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped and colored the cute Baby Elephant design. I used the following Copic Markers to color it: RV00, RV02, YR31, YR30, B000, B00 and BV000. I used my white gel pen to add dots and swirls over the colored image to make it a bit more textural looking. It softens the look a bit.

Next, I cut the Bursting Hearts Die design from white cardstock. I ink blended Spun Sugar and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Inks, starting in the center and moving out a bit, leaving white around the edges. This panel will be used as the background for the elephant image.

For the card base, I cut the following pieces: 5″ wide X 11″ long piece and a 5″ wide X 7″ long piece. I scored the longer piece at 4″ (from the top edge) to create the inside 5″ X 7″ panel. The other A7 panel will be used to complete the front panel. I cut a 4-1/4″ wide X 3″ long rectangle from both pieces as shown above. It’s important that these panel openings line up perfectly so that they can “sandwich” the bursting hearts die cut panel in the middle of them.

I adhered the layers together with glue, carefully lining up the openings and “sandwiching” the die cut piece in the middle. This offers a nice finished edge on both sides. I used one of the Icing Border Dies cut from pink cardstock to cover the 4″ edge from the front piece. I stamped two sentiments from the Inside Greetings: Congratulations stamps on the front panel. I added white hearts to the outside panel in a diagonal fashion for a little more subtle sweetness.

Inside, I stamped a third sentiment from the Inside Greetings: Congratulations stamp set and added more white hearts down the side of the interior panel. Note: I made sure to stamp the phrase below the rectangular opening so that it would not show through from the front.  This card is done!

Hello Friends! Catherine here, sharing a floral card featuring Inside Greetings Congrats Stamps!

For the background, I stamped a piece of white card stock sized 4.25” x 5.5” with buildings from Charming City Stamps using two different colour inks. 

I die cut two frames out of rectangles from Stitched Rectangle Dies, one from white card stock and the other using black patterned paper from Classic Sunburst Paper. I spattered the black frame with a small amount of Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain. For the white frame, I added texture by die cutting a stitched border on top of the four sides. I adhered the two frames and vellum sized 3.5” x 4” onto the background. 

For the outer flower pocket, I trimmed one piece of white card stock 4” x 4” and stamped it with Charming City Stamps. I folded the cardstock to resemble a cone and trimmed off the ends. I repeated this with vellum and tucked the vellum inside the outer pocket. 

Inks used:
Charming City: Lawn Fawn Jelly Fish, Mama Elephant Smoke
Flower Bouquet: Hero Arts Key Lime Fizz, Green Apple; Pink Fresh Lemon Whip, Sweet Mustard, Clementine; Altenew Cotton Candy, Frosty Pink, Pink Diamond, Ruby Red, Coral Berry

I added flowers from Timeless Tulips, Cheerful Daisies, and leaves from Spring Greenery Dies. I finished off the card with a sentiment from Inside Greetings Congrats and tied a bow with baker’s twine.

Watering Can Die Focused Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Hello friends. It’s Bobbi here with a floral card using the new Watering Can and coordinating dies and Lovely Lilacs stamps and dies. Both sets are easy to achieve desired results with their layered stamps. I am also using the Woodgrain Embossing folder and the Icing Border dies.

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped (using all the image layers) and die cut the water can and lilacs. I used Distress Oxide Inks for the stamping. Once they were dry, I added a little more “vintage” using my Copics. Here’s the list of colors I used:

Watering Can: Speckled Egg and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. I also used Copics in YR27, YR24, E57, E44 and #43 for the rusty spots.
Lilacs: Tattered Rose, Antique Linen, Scattered Straw, Saltwater Taffy, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain, Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn. I also used Copics in R22 and YG67.
Butterfly: Copics in R24, R22, R20 and Y21.

I hand drew the strip of woodgrain to create a ledge for the watering can to “rest” on. I colored it in E59, E57, E55, E43, E53 and W4. I assembled the watering can with the lilacs, adding a few foam tabs behind the front two lilacs to make them stand out a bit more from the background florals.

For the card front panel background, I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder on the top and three strips of the Icing Border dies at the bottom, allowing room for the woodgrain strip in between. I attached the watering can and added shadowing around the base using W6, We and W1 Copics.

Lastly, I added a small notecard to the floral bouquet. I cut a notecard to measure 1-1/2″ wide X 7/8″ tall when folded. I added more icing border die cuts to the front and then the butterfly from the Watering Can set.

Inside the notecard, I stamped the “Thinking of you” phrase from the Watering Can set. I stamped it twice masking the words to create a 2-line phrase to fit inside.
