Daisy Delight continued!!

Today I made two more cards using the beautiful (retired) Delightful Daisy DSP. Having all my DSP cut and ready to go makes the process of making cards so much easier. I made four of each design so I can build up some stock.




The whisper white card base is 21cm x 14.8cm and folded in half.
Second layer is Calypso Coral cut at 14.3cm x10cm which was embossed using the Petal Burst Embossing folder.
Cut the DSP down to 7cm x 7cm and matted it onto Old Olive card stock which you cut at 8cm x 8cm.  
Attached the square to the card using dimensionals.   
Stamp your sentiment and die cut it using the Stiched Shapes Framelits.





The Night of Navy card base is 21cm x 14.8cm and folded in half. 
The second layer is whisper white cut at 14.3cm x 10cm.
The DSP is cut at 13.8cm x 9.5cm.
Stamp the daisy twice and punch out.  Lay the two daisies on top of each other and glue to a whisper white square which was cut using the Stitched Shapes Dies.  Finish off the flower with Gold Faceted Gem in the middle.
Attach the square to your card using dimensionals.
Stamp your sentiment and cut it out using the rectangle stitched dies.

I hope that these cards give you some inspiration to make some awesome cards using your Designer Series Paper.   Remember if you love your paper then chop it!!!  #loveitchopit

Have a great evening everyone.

Delightful Daisy Suite

The Delightful Daisy Suite has lovely DSP that you really don't need to do much to your card for it to look beautiful!!  Last week I chopped all my retired Delightful Daisy DSP and put it in a wood stamp case with a printout that I got from salterfenpapercrafts.com.  When I went on to her website she did not have it as one of the PDFs, but she kindly made one up for me.   







This is a super easy card to make.  Use thick whisper white as the base and old olive as the second layer and then finish off with DSP as the last layer. 

Cut the piece of DSP to 13.8 x 7cm and then glue the reverse side of the off cut to your DSP to add some interest. Wrap your beautiful ribbon around and add a tiny bow.  I always found it very hard to make really neat little bows but since buying the bow easy gadget from Kylie Bertucci online its much easier.

Lastly add a sentiment to your card and Viola!!! card done :-)

Have a great evening everyone!!
