Daisy Flowers

Happy Tuesday y'all! I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I sure did. I spent it riding and hanging out with wonderful friends. The horses were well-behaved and the company was fantastic! 

Today I wanted to share some fun things you can make with our Daisy Punch. I love sunflowers. One of the first things I did was see how many layers I would need to make the petals for a sunflower. The answer is 4 :) I used my 1½" circle punch for the center and ran it through the softly falling embossing folder. The Coneflowers were made by punching one daisy, cutting it in half and cutting one petal off. The center is from the ¾" Punch. and sponged with Pumpkin Pie & Soft Suede inks. The stems were die cut using the May Flowers Framelit dies. 

My card has a story too. A few weeks ago, I had to have some medical procedures done. As I was recuperating, a strange vehicle pulled into my driveway. Lo & behold, it was my friend, Chris. Chris remembered that I loved her Purple Coneflowers so she drove all the way out here to bring me the heads off of her flowers! Now I'll have my own Purple Coneflowers next year! 

Wasn't that thoughtful of her? It was evident to me who the recipient of this card needed to be :) 

The sentiments are from the All Things Thanks stamp set. 

Pretty cool, eh? 

I hope you all have a stampingly fantastic Tuesday!

Under The Weather

I received this card front in a swap at OnStage in November. It came in handy this week when I needed a card to send to an ill friend. It's cute, simple and was perfect for a man. 

It features the Weather Together stamp set. I just love the Rich Razzleberry and the Tempting Turquoise together. I would've never done that combination on my own!

The Softly Falling embossing folder was used in the backgrounnd.

I stamped the sentiment from Greatest Greetings in Tempting Turquoise inside. 

I hope the weather is good in your neck of the woods today! :)

Penguin Fun Fold

Hello crafters. Sorry I'm late posting today. Hubby had minor surgery so we've been a little busy around here today. He's doing very well which allowed me to get back at it :) 

The card I'm sharing today is my favorite from the class I had last week. I love fun fold cards and this one is no exception. That adorable penguin just makes my heart all warm and fuzzy <3 The card design is CASEd from my fellow Stray Duckling (a Stampin' Up! demo group in my area), Darlene Anstett. She made a cute  Gingerbread card for a swap. I loved hers so much, I knew the moment I saw it I was going to do something in the future with her idea :)

The cute penguin, sentiment & snow flakes are from the Snow Place stamp set. The penguin is cut out with the Snow Friends Framelit Dies. I embossed panels of Soft Sky with the Softly Falling embossing folder and highlighted them by sponging the dots lightly with our Whisper White Craft Ink. The belly band and back panel are in Basic Black.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it :)

Stampin' Up! has a wonderful Black Friday week of sales going on next week. Please check back soon as I'll be posting the details.

Happy Stamping!
