Cheerful Daisies, Petal Park birthday card

 Happy Saturday everyone!  It’s supposed to be quite warm here today.  We’ve had some very nice weather the past few days.  I’ve really been enjoying some time on the deck soaking in the Vitamin D.  For my card today, I am mixing Petal Park and the Cheerful Daisies bundle.  My favorite stamps in Petal Park are those two step leaf arrangements.  I couldn’t wait to try them with the daisies.  They set the die cut daisies off perfectly.  I hope you are inspired to make something with your Daisy stamp set or you can purchase this bundle in my online store if you need it here:

Driving By Spiral Dye

 Today's project is one of my favorites.  I love how this one turned out.  I wasn't going to get the Spiral Dye stamp set but am glad I did.  This project also uses the Sale-a-bration stamp set Driving By.  You can choose this stamp set for free with a qualifying purchase of $50.  You can shop my online store by clicking on the shopping cart in the upper right.  You can watch how I put this card together by watching my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/HXouss4uzYw 

I started this card by stamping out my vintage van in Momento Tuxedo black ink on Basic White cardstock and also on a piece of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper.  I then colored the van with my Stampin' Blends in Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Grey Granite and Basic Black.  I cut out the lower and upper portions of the van from the DSP and then glued them into place onto of my colored van.  This technique is known as paper piecing.  I then fussy cut out the van and set it aside.  The sentiment was stamped on Basic White using Bermuda Bay ink and die cut with a die from the newly released Beautiful Shapes dies.  The "road" was stamped using a stamp from Gumball Greetings, inked in Basic Gray on Basic White cardstock, then trimmed on both sides to approximately 1/2".  The Spiral Dye stamped was stamped on a quarter sheet of Basic White cardstock using Versamark clear ink, then embossed using white embossing powder.  I then used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie inks with the blending brushes to brush on the color.  The finishing touch for this card features the Pebbles Enamel Shapes released in the Jan-June 2022 mini catalog.  I love the added touch these bring to the card.  

 

This is the inside view of the card, the sentiment comes from Free as a Bird.  

Measurements:  

Card Base in Pool Party cardstock cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"

Base Layer 4 x 5 1/4" in Bermuda Bay

Focal image layer 3 7/8 x 5 1/8" in Basic White (I started with a quarter sheet of cardstock, stamped and colored, then cut down to this size)

Inside layer 3 5/8x 4 7/8" Basic White

Stamp sets used: Spiral Dye, Driving By and Free as a Bird

Pattern Party DSP (free using Stampin' Rewards of $18, received with an order or workshop of at least $180)

Stampin' Blends in Bermuda Bay, Grey Granite, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Basic Black

Just a note black magic card

Sorry I’ve been a little lax in posting.  Life has been very busy with the grandkids on summer break.
Today’s project is one I created for a friend who is going through some pretty tough times dealing with a horrible case of breast cancer.  Just a little note to brighten her day.  It’s made using the black magic technique but a little more modern I guess you’d say.  I was inspired by a video I watched from Ruth Trice of Artful Inkin’. I first stamped on rich razzleberry cardstock sized at 5” x 3 3/4” my largest images in Versamark ink.  The stamp sets I used are Beautiful Bouquet, Floral Essence, Colorful Seasons, Flourishing Phrases (sentiment) and First Frost.  You can use any floral sets you have on hand to create this look simply by picking out a a couple of large images and filling in with smaller ones.  I then added white embossing powder.  I then, carefully, added my medium images being sure not to stamp over any embossing powder.  I heat set the embossing powder with my heat tool.  Finally I finished up by adding my leaves and the smallest images, added embossing powder and heat set those.  Once completely cooled, I began to color my images using Stampin’ Blends markers in old olive, pretty peacock, rich razzleberry, rococo rose, seaside spray, so saffron and mango melody.  I used both the light and dark markers.  I then set it aside to thoroughly dry.  I added by focal panel to a layer of seaside spray cardstock cut at 4x 5 1/4” and finally added to a thick whisper white card base 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”.

For the inside of the card I used a quote which comes from the Rustic Retreat stamp set and the leaves are from Very Versailles.  Both are beautiful stamp sets and can be used for any occasion.  

I hope I’ve inspired you today to try this technique.  It does turn out really lovely.
Thanks for taking time from your busy day to stop by my blog.  It’s very much appreciated.  Should you wish to order any supplies and you are in the USA, simply click on my shopping cart and it will take you directly to my online store.  Until next time, make it a great day and happy stamping. 🤗
