Delighted with Daisies

Rosanne March 12, 2018 March 10, 2018Cards, Friendship, Get Well, Thinking of You

Happy Monday and Happy Daylight Savings Time. I love when the clocks change this time of year. That extra hour of daylight really cheers me up. I hope this card will do the same for you!

For today’s card, I pulled out the once popular but slightly forgotten Daisy punch. This punch was the hit of the Annual Catalog back in June when it debuted but like a lot of really great products got pushed aside for newer sets. I’ve been trying to make a conscious effort to use most of the sets I’ve purchased and not get stuck using just the latest and the greatest!

You can click on the link in the Product List below to order any of the products I used on today’s card. I think it’s a pretty straightforward card and just made me smile.

The daisies were punched from Very Vanilla card stock and sponged with So Saffron ink. I punched the centers and embossed them for a little texture.

The leaves were stamped in Old Olive ink using an image from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, which is another under-used set in my collection. They were hand cut. Each flower is popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Best Birds stamp set, is stamped in Early Espresso ink and cropped with the Layering Ovals framelit. The two additional layers are also cut from these framelits. The Layering Ovals, Circles and Squares are such a staple to have and really earn their keep!

I added the sweet little bees from the Touches of Texture stamp set because the daisies I have in my flowerbeds always seem to have bees buzzing around them and I think these are just so cute.

The wood grain and gingham paper are non-SU but were so perfect for this card. I have quite a collection of paper (like most card makers) and love it when I can find just what I need to create the look I envision. I stamped the sweet little trio of daisies from the Daisy Delight stamp set in Daffodil Delight ink and used a Stampin’ Write marker to color the center. I left the inside blank for a personal note.

Daisies are one of my favorite flowers. There’s a line from the movie You’ve Got Mail (which is one of my favorite movies) where Meg Ryan refers to daisies as such happy flowers and I agree! So I hope today’s card made you smile!

HERE are two more cards I made using the Daisy punch…

Thanks for stopping by and even though the temperature here certainly doesn’t indicate Spring, I am definitely coming down with Spring Fever and I hope you are too! Must be that extra hour of daylight!

There’s only 3 more weeks left to take advantage of one of the best promotions of the year. Sale-A-Bration ends on March 31 and the products offered this year are just fantastic! You can check it all out HERE

Take care,

Rosanne

A Sweet Soiree Hello

Rosanne March 5, 2018 March 5, 2018All Occasion, Cards, Friendship, Get Well, Just Because, Thinking of You

Comments: 19

I know you’re probably thinking, “there she goes again with the Sweet Soiree Embellishment kit”, and you would be exactly right. This kit doesn’t quit! It has so many wonderful elements to make dozens of new and unique projects. I’ve paired the embellishment kit with the Jar of Love stamp set and Everyday Jars framelits to create today’s card.

Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist and Whisper White is such a fresh and pretty color combination…don’t you think?

After stamping and cutting out the jar, I cut another jar using vellum as an overlay. I like the muted effect it gave the jar and also coincided with the vellum flowers.

The flowers were colored on the backside with Stampin’ Blend markers. My favorite aspect of this card is the little water droplets on a few flower petals and the jar. I used a few drops of Crystal Effects for them. Sometimes it’s just those little details….

I stamped a sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set and cut it out with a die from the Bunch of Banners framelits for the little tag. You could make this card for any number of occasions by just changing the sentiment. This would make a perfect Mother’s Day card, too!

I still have more elements left in this kit so there may be another project(or two) in the future. If you haven’t looked at the Sweet Soiree Embellishment kit in the Occasions Catalog, I urge you to check it out for yourself. It’s an amazing kit and such a value at only $11.00. You can order this or any of the other products I used to create today’s card by clicking on them in the Product List below.

Here are some other cards I created with this kit…

Thanks for checking in today…I hope you are heading into a wonderful week!

Take care,

Another Birthday Butterfly

Rosanne March 4, 2018 March 4, 2018Birthday, Cards

Comments: 4

Today is my sweet, sensitive and extremely artistic daughter, Lauren’s birthday. She loves butterflies and has a Papillon (which means butterfly) puppy so naturally butterflies are a good choice for her card.

I used this layout on a card I did HERE last week and decided not to recreate the wheel. I just changed the color scheme, patterned paper and sentiment and the card felt new and different.

Here’s the details

The card base is Basic Black card stock and the pretty paisley patterned paper (say that 3x fast!) is a design from a Graphic 45 paper collection.
I followed the same method to create the card as in my other post HERE.

The sentiment and die are from a Clearly Besotted set and are stamped in Basic Black ink on Crushed Curry card stock.
I mentioned before that I buy individual color packages of sequin and create my own combinations. That’s what I did here, mimicking the colors in the patterned paper.

The shaker aspect makes the card so much more colorful and fun. I’ve been having a lot of fun recently with shaker cards HERE and HERE.

The inside sentiment is a non-SU stamp set. I think sentiments are so important on cards and have been trying to collect different sets.
The envelope flap is embellished with the flip side of the patterned paper…that was easy!

This card is just like my sweet yet spunky Lauren!

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

Take care,

Rosanne

Celebrating with the Party Pandas – Tic Tac Toe Challenge #037

Stampin Up Party Pandas Birthday Cards Tic Tac Toe Challenge - Rosanne Mulhern

I’m still “Sale-a-brating” with the adorable Party Pandas stamp set that you can get absolutely FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. I also created this card for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge. Here’s the challenge board….

I chose the first row across: Aperture (window), Celebrate, Sequins

Here’s the details…

The card base is Whisper White thick card stock with a mat of Lemon Lime Twist card stock. I’m a little late to the party with this color but it’s really starting to grow on me!
The top layer is Whisper White regular card stock cut with a stitched rectangular die (non-SU).

Stampin Up Party Pandas Birthday Card Tic Tac Toe Challenge - Rosanne Mulhern

Using a die from the Birthday Friends Framelits, I cut two balloons to create the “window”.
Now that I had two windows, I just had to make it into a shaker card! I love shaker cards! They are very easy to make and ALWAYS make the card so much more FUN!
I’ve tried many different foam tapes to create shakers, but have found that Stampin’ Up! has the best product in their Foam Adhesive Strips. They are thin enough to go around small edges, thin enough to bend easily to form ovals or circles and have just the right depth dimension to fit the sequins.

The sequins are from a random collection that I have. I usually just buy single colors and then mix them into the color combination I need.
After creating the shaker, I adhered this layer to the Lemon Lime Twist layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Panda is stamped in Basic Black Archival ink and hand cut, then popped with dimensionals onto the card.
After adhering the Panda, I added the balloon strings with a thin Sharpie marker.
The cute party hat is an image from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper. It’s cut using a die from the Birthday Friends framelits.
The sentiment is from the Birthday Delivery stamp set. You can purchase this set, along with the Birthday Friends framelits and the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper as a bundle in the Annual Catalog for a 10% savings. The framelits in this collection cut out so many of the images on the DSP making it that much more versatile.
A few more scattered sequins add to the festivity!

The inside sentiment comes from the Celebrate You stamp set. This font is so much fun!
I used a pattern from the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper and a small strip of Bermuda Bay card stock to embellish the inside as well as the front of the envelope. Bubbles & Fizz DSP is another item you can get FREE during Sale-A-Bration!
