Daisy Lane Note card

I received the Daisy Lane stamp set at Stampin Up's On Stage event in April.  I got busy, and just used it for the first time last week. You can buy the bundle and get a 10% discount getting the Medium Daisy punch with it.  You can also buy the Larger daisy punch that has been around for awhile.  

 

I started by adding the fern like leaf all over the background.  I think it looks kind of nice just like this on our pretty Scallop Notecards and Envelopes. 

 

The Scalloped Note Cards and Envelopes  come in a pack of 4 colors- Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Powder Pink, And Terracotta Tile . You get 5 of each color for $8.  I bought 3 packs, and my goal is to come up with a different design for each color so I don't end up with a bunch of the same color left over!  

Next, I stamped the daisy on white scrap pieces and then punched out using the medium daisy punch that comes in the Daisy Lane bundle.  I adhered one daisy, and then added a second and spaced it to fill in-between the petals of the previously adhered flower.  I stamped the greeting on the right side of a White strip.  I added a little Daffodil Delight card stock as an accent.  

I finished by adding the Perennial Essence Floral Centers.  They are a little fuzzy and have adhesive on them.  

This shows the scallop on the back of the envelope.

Lilypad Lake Anniversary Card

I just assembled my Lilypad Lake and decided it would make a great anniversary card.    Today my husband and I are celebrating 24 years of marriage!  I love our Pretty Peacock 1/2" Scalloped Ribbon, so I decided to start with that for color inspiration.  

When I stamped the 2 birds I noticed by having the one higher than the other that the water would cover the lily pads if I stamped the water where I wanted it to reach on the birds.  I decided to mask them.  The easiest way to do this is to stamp the lily pads on a post it at the top where it is sticky.  I cut by hand out the lily pads, cutting into the bottom a little so it stamps just right over it.  Simply place your cut out piece on top of the image, and stamp over it.  

 

The ink will not go where you have the post it piece.  Isn't that  slick?

I keep the cut out post it note in my case so it is ready to go the next tie I want to make a card.  

I used my Stampin Blends to color in the card.  To make the flowers a little lighter, I used the color lifter.  Tip: Use lightly and give it a minute and it shows up.  If you put too much on, the colors can bleed.  

For the greeting, I stamped Happy Anniversary from Itty Bitty Greetings.  I used the Classic Label punch. On the video I show how to use the punch to trim it smaller.  I then put a 1"X2" piece of Pretty Peacock card stock behind it to make it stand out a little more.  

 

This Stamp set along with High Tide are going to be the stamp sets for my next round of Stamps in The Mail.  If you would like to make 12 cards using this 2 sets let me know and I can get you signed up for SITM 44!
