Daisy, Daisy...

Hey all. Sorry for the lapse this week. I'm melting here...it's soooo hot! Heat is not my favorite so I wine..oops that should be whine! Ha, actually..both!  But here are two more Daisy cards. You were dying to see right? :) I've really liked all of these so far!! Different colors and different ribbons.. completely different looks!! And the best part....they are all getting mailed!

So click back and see the last post and all the Yellow Daisies if you don't remember. This first card was done the same way, with a blender pen and ink pad.


Darker colors are a little less forgiving, and you must be gentle so as NOT to fuzz your cardstock. Lovely Lipstick, Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green. Same DSP wood background (or one from the same pack). Card base is Lovely Lipstick, accent layer of Night of Navy. Whisper White base with DSP on top. Night of Navy Gingham ribbon. Night of Navy centers, Granny Apple green leaves. Dimensionals and glue dots holding it all together!

And then, I decided to try something different. Same layout, but different coloring. Any guesses how I did this one??


This one started with the Ribbon. Calypso Coral satin. **LOVE** Sorry, not currently available. Blends were used on this one. I stamped with Tuxedo Memento. The flowers were done with Light Calypso Coral first, Dark Calypso accents added, then over again with Light. Not being super careful but not crazy outside the lines either. Leaves Old Olive, same as flowers: light first, dark accent, blend again with light. Card base is Calypso Coral, accent layer of Basic Black behind Whisper White with Wood DSP. Happy Birthday in Tuxedo Black. Flowers punched, centers in Black added. 

Thank you for stopping by and sticking with me through all my NON posting phases! We'll see how this week goes..two more Daisy cards to share then nothing. The weekend isn't good...we'll just have to see how work, the heat and everything else goes! Hope to be back soon! As usual, shopping links and product details below!

More Dasies!!

I warned you there might be more and here is the first round! Yep, there are more than this! Love this layout :)

I didn't start out to make this a color comparison, but that is what I ended up with! Funny story. I sat down to make a Daisy birthday card, same layout as the Thank You cards I shared the other day. Grabbed what I thought was Daffodil Delight ink and went to work. I do remember thinking, man that ink is dark! But I kept going and didn't check anything! Walked away and came back the next day to make another. Go to put away the Daffodil pad... and it's already in the rack. I used Crushed Curry! Yikes. So I very carefully pulled off the bottom layer and remounted it on the proper color! I give you Crushed Curry Daisy's!


So, then of course I had to try Daffodil Delight because that is what I meant to use the first time!


And, lastly since I'm on a yellow progression, Pineapple Punch!


I like them all! The card bases are the coordinating color. Daisies were stamped with the chosen ink, then colored with a blender pen and ink from the stamp pad. Gently colored - remember too much will fuzz the card stock really quick! I had to relearn that after using blends so often! All have centers that were stamped Night of Navy and punched. Leaves on the Curry are Mossy Meadow. I stamped them and punched, then went over with the blender pen. No added ink, just blended what I stamped. On the Daffodil card, leaves are Old Olive. Pineapple, Granny Apple Green. All have a Wood Texture DSP background (retired) and Night of Navy Gingham ribbon (retired). Accent layer of Night of Navy and Happy Birthday stamped in Night of Navy. Flowers and leaves attached with Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Dimensinals.

I've got these down pat and can make them pretty quickly! There are few more in the works, but my Monday was a Monday!! so it may be a few days before I get to the rest!! These are going in the mail to friends this month! Thanks for stopping by today! Shopping and product links below!

Mangolia Hello!

My first Magnolia creation! Feels good and LOVE this set! Spent some time with stamping friends a while back, so I made one of these for each of them. I'm on a mission to MAIL cards and check for this month so far!!


Card base is Crumb Cake. Accent layer of Basic Black behind the striped DSP layer. Color of the DSP is Petal Pink and that is also the Stampin' Blend set I used to accent the flower. The leaves were colored with light and dark Mossy Meadow, stem Crumb Cake. Center light only Pineapple Punch. The flower was stamped with Black Memento on Whisper White, colored, then die cut with the coordinating Magnolia Memory die. I attached it to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. The Hello was cut with the Stitched Rectangles die. Ribbon is the coordinating Ribbon Combo Pack.

More to come with this set! Thanks for stopping by today! Shopping links and product details below!

Midwest!

Howdy all! This is my follow-up to the last post when I said I had to try a "Midwest" looking sponge/masking card. I love that yellow one, but trees do not look like that around here! Neither do sun rises or sunsets!  Pink, blue, maybe even purple. Sometimes some orange or red, but not yellow! And I'm very guilty of not looking near as often as I should! This country location we call home give us the perfect view!

OK, here is the card.


I grabbed the Midwest looking tree, Balmy Blue and Flirty Flamingo. Not bad? Same card base of Basic Gray, this time with leaves stamped randomly around the edge. Same post-it circle. Looks like I might have blended some Gray in with the Balmy Blue, and maybe also over the edge of the Flirty Flamingo circle. Tree and words again stamped with Memento, and more (retired) Basic Black Faceted dots. 

Thanks for stopping by today! If you have to work today like I do, I hope it goes fast! And then have a GREAT weekend! Product details and shopping links below.
