Daisy Delight Thank You Card

Hi Friends,

This week I'm celebrating this beautiful Daisy stamp set and corresponding Delightful Daisy DSP!

Today, Wednesday and Friday you will see some very pretty ideas!

Make sure you check back each day to see what I've been doing!

OK — I might be a bit "old school" but I firmly believe in sending written thank you notes. (and btw, hand written notes are GAINING in popularity once again!!! YIPPEE)

I find special delight in a handmade card delivered by the postman. (I LOVE going to my mailbox, opening the cover and FINDING a DECORATED ENVELOPE! I KNOW it's a special note from a SPECIAL someone!!!!)

I just love this bright and cheery card and can imagine it bringing a smile to someone's face when they open it up.

This handmade Thank You card was made on a Crushed Currey card base and layered with Night of Navy card stock with Delightful Daisy DSP over that. 

The Daisies from the Daisy Delight stamp set were stamped in Crushed Curry ink onto Crushed Curry card stock and punched out with the coordinating punch, attached together with glue dots and then attached to the card front and accented with a faceted gem in the center. (and of COURSE I just HAD to add some Wink of Stella to the petals!)

A simple "thank you" onto a strip of whisper white is easily flagged at the end using the triple banner punch.

This is a great bundle! 

Lots of great images and useful sentiments and a punch making a 3D effect quick and easy. 

Don't forget that I'll be showing you this bundle in other cards later this week.

Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper Makes for Quick and Easy Cards

Hi Friends,

Do you ever find yourself in need of a card with not much time to make one?  Here is a simple layout that can be using in a variety of colors for a variety of occasions. These cards are from a class that I did last month.

Sympathy-DSP-lavender
This card is made using the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper layered onto Pear Pizazz and Whisper White card stock on a Pool Party card base. Happy Birthday was stamped in Night of Navy ink. A little stamping with Pool Party ink and a small flower adds to the sentiment on the card front and makes the envelope coordinate nicely. A pretty bow in Pool Party Bakers Twine finishes it off.

Thank-you-DSP-yellow
This card is made using the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper layered onto Old Olive and Whisper White card stock on a Daffodil Delight card base. The 5/8" burlap ribbon goes great with the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper and the 1/4" old olive ribbon brings it all together.  The small flower from the Daisy Delight stamp set stamped in Daffodil Delight makes the set.

Sympathy-DSP-lavender
While we hope we never need a sympathy card, we occasionally do. This card is made using the Stampin' Up! Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper layered onto Pool Party and Whisper White card stock on a Wisteria Wonder card base. A sentiment in Night of Navy ink and some Pool Party flowers on the envelope finishes off our stamping and the pool party ribbon gives our card a finished look.

I encourage you to give these a try. Any of the items used in these cards can be purchased from my online store 24/7.  You can of course always contact me for any assistance you may need.  Keep an eye out for more classes coming up, I hold several a week at my home for those who can attend and offer a "to-go kit" for those unable to attend.

Hugs,

Barbara

Monday Night Class and photos of pretty cards!

Hi all!

 

Ok here are the cards we made today.  We used the Number of Years stamp set and the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series paper.

 

What do YOU think?

2016-05-01 19.32.41

Note that the medallion does NOT have anything in it but everyone used the Big Shot to cut out numbers to put inside it. This is my card and as of this moment I don't know who will get it –hence no numbers!

2016-05-01 19.32.54

 

I just love this one –what do YOU think????

 

2016-05-01 19.33.07

 

This one and the next used the same format –simple and sweet.

2016-05-01 19.33.17

 

Everyone made 2 of each design AND then we made a cute pocket to hold them.

It ties on the side with the ribbon. A very nice Mother's Day or gift for someone sweet!

2016-05-01 19.33.31

 

Ok that's it!!

 

Now for tomorrow's class we 'll make these cards. This is the new stamp set commemorating the ONE MILLIONTH Paper Pumpkin kit !!

I absolutely love this card –the colors are Wisteria Wonder and Mint Macaron –love love love it!

2016-05-01 18.55.16

 

I'm sure I'll have another card for tomorrow  but right now I MUST go watch my dear Red Sox with my sweet husband — or at least until I fall asleep!

Hope to see you tomorrow night!

 

hugs to all and welcome the merry month of MAY!

Barbara
