daisy

time to shine

Flowers are finally blooming in Minnesota! Daisies are one of my favorites. I especially love Gerbera Daisies. Naturally, I was excited to get the new Daisy Lane stamp set at Stampin’ Up! On Stage event in April. And even more excited to add the new Medium Daisy punch to my collection. Put them together and I had a ton of fun creating. I was able to make my own garden of cards that will never wilt! Here is one of those creations.

I stamped the medium daisy in Memento Black ink and colored the flower centers and the background with my Stampin’ Blends. (Daffodil Delight and Seaside Spray) I love that you can create custom backgrounds with the Blends. I punched two medium daisies out of Whisper White and layered them. For the center, I punched out a bunch of Daffodil Delight dots with my 1/8″ handheld punch (retired) and glued them in the flower center. The sentiment is on Daffodil Delight. I layered a piece of retired black and white paper behind the sentiment. I love stripes and flowers together.

Hey crafty friends!  I am basking in the sun in Orlando!  Today is check in day for Stampin’ Up! On Stage!!!  I am so excited to celebrate Stampin’ Up!’s 30th anniversary with many of my demonstrator friends from around the world!  Lots of fun, laughter, swapping, and possibly some shenanigans ahead.  Plus, we get to see the NEW Occasions catalog and Sale-a-Bration offerings!!!  Squeee!  I’m so excited!  I thought I would share one of the cards I made to swap with fellow demonstrators this week.

I blended Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody and Grapefruit Grove for a fun sunset look.  The perfect backdrop for a sweet daisy flower. Stay tuned for an On Stage recap next week after I get home! I’m off to swap (and maybe a visit to Disney this evening!)
