Best Dressed Meets Under My Umbrella

I thought we could all use a happy, bright & cheery card!

If you haven't purchased the Best Dressed DSP, you are missing out on a whole lot of pretty!  I used one of the gorgeous florals, layered on Granny Apple Green & on a base of Melon Mambo.

I'm a big fan of bundles, and when I saw the Under My Umbrella Bundle, I ordered it right away, and saved 10%!  You can pick up this bundle and save 10%, the Best Dressed DSP,  a few other items, AND choose a Sale-A-Bration product!  But wait....there's more.....

I cut Daffodil Delight cardstock using one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Then embossed Whisper White paper using the Coastal Weave 3D folder, and cut them using the Umbrella Builder Punch.

How stinkin' cute are the bunny ears, and what a fun idea to cut them using the Daisy Punch!  The paper is from the Best Dressed DSP (see...you NEED this paper!) 😊  I wanted the ears to  pop, so I cut Melon Mambo cardstock with the Umbrella Builder Punch, and when glued them offset just a tiny bit.   A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels add just a touch of bling!  I cut the sentiment in Melon Mambo using one of the Well Said Dies.

I love that sentiment inked up in Melon Mambo - it's from Under My Umbrella!  We all have a friend, or two that we'll be friends with forever!

I couldn't resist adding more bunny ears, and this time they're peeking out of the boots, from the Under My Umbrella stamp set!  Cute or what!!

With a strip of Best Dressed DSP leftover, I thought why not add a bit more 'happy' to this card!

It would make my day knowing I've given you a good reason to smile!

Daisy Delight Bundle

I've been working on a project that joins two of my favourite paper crafts - quilling and the new Daisy Delight Bundle from Stampin' Up!  Oh...and one of the new in colours - Berry Burst.

For these flowers, I stamped Berry Burst ink onto Whisper White and Berry Burst cardstock, then punched them out using my new Daisy Punch.  Each flower requires two sets of petals.  Assembly is easy - just a couple of glue dots to adhere the flower layers.  Be sure to offset the petals for the best affect. I used more glue dots to adhere the flowers to the stems, which are 18 gauge wire.

I cut 1/4 inch wide by 10 inch long strips of Whisper White and Berry Burst card stock.  To fringe the paper, I first used my kitchen snips, but found they weren't cutting finely.  My paper snips from Stampin' Up! did a wonderful job. There are expensive fringers from quilling companies, and I own one, but I prefer cutting with scissors. Once cut, I simply rolled the paper into the shape you see below and adhered them with glue dots.  Using a 1/2" Circle Punch, punch Whisper White and Berry Burst circles - one for each flower.  Poke a small hole in the circle,and 'thread' the wire through it bending the end of the wire in a loop shape. Then adhere the circle to the wire.  Last step, adhere the flower(s) to the wire, with, you've got it...glue dots!

I took the pics in my garden.  A lovely backdrop to my flowers.

Did you notice the little 'water droplet' on the Berry Burst petal on the right side of the above pic? It's a Glitter Enamel Dot - perfect for a realistic look!

Aren't these just the sweetest!

You'll love the versatility of this bundle. Use it for cards, gift tags, framed projects, bouquets and so much more!

Sneak Peek Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our first Tri-City Stampers Blog Hop!  We're so excited to have you join us for our sneak peeks of brand new Stampin' Up! products.

Yesterday was Mother's Day, and I was thinking about my mom.  I know she would have loved this simple and pretty card.

Here is the first of two projects I have to show you.

I used Whisper White for the card base and added a layer of gorgeous Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.

I stamped two daisies in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White cardstock, used my Daisy punch, then offset the flowers, adhering them with a Glue Dot.  To complete the daisy, I added a Silver Faceted Gem - so sparkly!  For a pop of colour, I used Double-Stitched Ribbon in Daffodil Delight.

I first die cut the circle in Whisper White cardstock using a Stitched Framelit.  

The  'Thinking of You' sentiment is from the Colourful Seasons stamp set.

Are you loving this set as much as me?

 

A few daisies for the inside of the card.

I was having so much fun, that after stamping the inside of the card, I layered another daisy.  

I hope you can you see it in the pic.

For my second project, I made an adorable little gift tag. 

The Scalloped Tag Topper punch I used is perfect for making gift tags. 

I used Daffodil Delight on the daisy and  Old Olive for the greenery, which is from Daisy Delight.

Brand new Glitter Enamel Dots to add dimension and sparkle.  Aren't they pretty!

Super quick and easy!  I seriously can't get enough of the Delightful Daisy Suite. 

The new products I used for my projects (shown below), and everything from the rest of the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue will be available as of June 1, 2017.

Daisy Delight Sneak Peek

I had the pleasure of attending a bridal shower for my nephew's finance this past weekend. There was such a wonderful glow on the face of a bride-to-be - joy, happiness, and love. They are lovley couple and I'm so happy for them and their future life together. The wedding later this month. Exciting times!

Today I'm delighted to show you the card I made for the shower. I cut the base, layer & flowers from Whisper White cardstock, then embossed the layer using my Softly Falling TIEF (textured impressions embossing folder),  This card features a sneak peek of the brand new stamp set Daisy Delight. I stamped two flower images with Melon Mambo ink, then used my new co-ordinating Daisy punch. To layer, I simply offset the flowers. For the centre of the flower I used a Clear Faceted Gem - also new for 2017-2018. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from Best Birds and used a retired punch to cut it out.  On the inside, I stamped the flower image in the bottom right corner of the stamp.

As you know, I'm a fan of clean and simple cards that have a 'WOW', and for this card, the Daisy in Melon Mambo is it!  You don't have to wait long to purchase these new products - June 1st is just around the corner! 

Whisper White and Melon Mambo - love love love!!

We had a couple of challenges - I failed at both...LOL

The Guess Who Game had 20 questions.  Here's a few: Who takes longer to get ready? Who is always running late? Who keeps their car cleaner?  Of the 20 questions I got a whopping 7 correct. Ouch! The winner was the mother of the bride with 17/20 - awesome!

  Needless to say my guess was waaaayyy off! 😊
