Check out these Cheerful Daisy projects; WOW!!

Each month I ask one of my Flowerbug's Team to volunteer as our Artist of the Month.  For August it was Barb who chose the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.  They receive the bundle from me free and in exchange I ask them to create a minimum of 5 projects with it.  She did a fabulous job!!  

This first card is a super neat fun fold card showing off the Countryside Corners dies seen here.

  As I've said before I cannot get enough of this stamp set.  And when it's in some of my favorite colors too, well it hits all the high points in my stamping world.  

  We made these pretty cards at my June card clubs.  Simple stamping at it's best!!

  Save

  The colors here are Gorgeous Grape, which is gorgeous!, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay.  The pretty die is from the Tasteful Labels set of dies seen here.

  This stamp set really makes you feel like an artist.  These Distinktive stamps are absolutely amazing!  I cannot say enough about how much I love them.  Even when you stamp over the images it doesn't matter as they appear somewhat translucent.

• 2 cute cards with the Pampered Pets bundle

  June 18, 2020

  ---

  I featured the Playful Pets bundle when I made these two cards at Tuesday's Facebook Live this week.  This suite is absolutely adorable!  

  Here's a close up of the first card.  The texture of the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder is so neat.  It's subtle but still quite noticeable with a unique texture. 

  Save

  This card shows just a peak of the cute Playful Pets designer series paper between the textured layers. 

  See the paw prints on the bottom right?  That is a die in the Pets dies.  I placed a scrap of Black CS behind it to show it off.  You can see the entire Playful Pets suite here. 

  The dog is cut from the Playful Pets DSP; the Pet dies match some of the images in the paper!   I added a bit of the Playful Pets trim for a collar and a bone from the Pet Trinkets.  Below are the measurements for this card:

  • Real Red 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 1” X 5 ½”, 2 ¼” X 5 ½” textured pieces
  • 1 ¼” X 5 ½” Designer Series Paper

  Other products used: Tasteful Textile folder, Stitched Shapes and Layering Circles dies

  Below are both cards I made in the FB Live video.  Click here to see it.

  Save

  The second card is a unique fold where the Black piece is the full back of the card and the Real Red is scored for the card opening. It's a fun and unique card that works well with our Designer paper.  Whether you use 6 X 6" or 12 X 12" paper it all works without much waste when cutting.

  Save

  Measurements:

  • Black 5 ½” X 4 1/4”
  • Real Red 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”,
  • Designer Series Paper 5 ½” X 3”
  • Soft Suede 1" X 4 1/4"
  • White strip is 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

  If you like these cards you may want to get my Card Kit to Go that features the entire Playful Pets suite of products along with 10 pre-cut cards!  Be sure to order it by Saturday! See it here.
