Delightful Daisy

SPRING countdown continues! Tomorrow is the first day of meteorological SPRING, so I’m ready to celebrate! The Delightful Daisy Suite is the perfect way to begin.

Delightful Daisy Designer Series Papers and Stamps Set

Stampin’ Up products are all coordinated for you to make designing and making these cards a DELIGHT!!

The Delightful Daisy Designer Series Papers has gorgeous designs that have lots of spring colors that coordinate with it. This card has the Designer Series Paper mounted on Wisteria Wonder. The sentiment and flower are from the Daisy Delight stamp set stamped in Flirty Flamingo.

The daisy stamp from the Daisy Delight stamp set was stamped twice in Berry Burst, then punched with Daisy Punch. A Clear Faceted Gem is the perfect touch for the center. I used Berry Burst Ink to watercolor on a piece of the Watercolor Paper, then mounted it on Berry Burst Cardstock. The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.

This is one of the cards we made in the Spring Into Stamping Class this week. The Daisy Delight Designer Series Paper made this card so quick and easy! A strip of the Daffodil Delight Double Stitched Ribbon set the card off perfectly!

Fun with the Petal Passion Suite

At the February Quick and Easy Cards Class, we used the Petal Passion Suite to create 6 beautiful cards.

Petal Passion Suite Designer Series Paper

The Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is gorgeous, but it becomes even more versatile when you color it!

At the Cards Class, we used the technique on the left, a Sponge Brayer and Stampin’ Ink. This piece of the Petal Passion Paper was inked with the Pool Party Stampin’ Ink Pad. The Sponge Brayer makes so easy! I put alcohol and a Stampin’ Up Ink Refill in the Stampin’ Up Stampin’ Spritzer, then sprayed the middle piece. On the third piece, I used the Stampin’ Up Sponge Dauber and picked up the color from the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Up Ink Pad to daub it on the Petal Passion paper. Amazingly simple to create so many different looks!

Look at the stellar results from using the Stampin’ Blends to color it! I truly love this Petal Passion Designer Series Paper. And the Blends make even me look like an artist!

Here is a list of the Stampin’ Up Products used in these projects:

Sponge Brayer Item 141714 $8

Sponge Dauber Item 133773 $5

Stampin’ Spritzer Item 126185 $3

Stampin’ Blends $4.50 each or $9 Combo Pack

Stampin’ Ink Pads $6.50 each

We made 3 cards in Class using the Petal Passion Suite.

On this one we used the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Love the Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock paired with the Sweet Sugarplum Stampin’ Ink. The Petals & More Thinlits Dies were used to cut out the “flyaway” leaves and the sentiment from the Petal Palette Stamp Set.

We also made 2 other cards using this fabulous Suite.

I just love, love this little bird, which is stamped here in Marina Mist, but it’s also adorable stamped in pink or yellow or black, and can easily be colored with the Stampin’ Blends. The flowers are from the Petal Palette Stamps, stamped in Berry Burst. So versatile!!
