Libby's Craft Studio: Cheerful Daisies Birthday Card

It's time for the 2023-2024 New Annual Catalog Kickoff Party!

This is a private group for members only. With each new Stampin' Up! Catalog or Mini Catalog, the team of Barb, Kelly & Dena host a Catalog Kickoff Party. This event focuses on all the wonderful new items in the catalog with lots of inspiration. Prizes are awarded. Challenges are held from May 4 through May 18. There's also a card swap, which is super fun!

Card Challenge #1 is to use scraps of DSP.

Although I've created a background such as this before, I haven't used this technique with the Fresh as a Daisy DSP. Since I hang on to every little piece of DSP, this is a great way to use up all (or most of) the scraps, so I had very little to toss out!

I used the Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Bundle, Charming Sentiments Stamp Set along with Fresh as a Daisy DSP to create my Birthday card.

For my card base I used Moody Mauve cardstock. The mat behind the focal point is Wild Wheat cardstock.

Three strips of ribbon were adhered behind the center square with the ends frayed.

The sentiment was stamped using Moody Mauve ink and die cut from the Cheerful Daisies Dies.

The leaves were stamped using Garden Green ink and tucked behind the larger daisy.

The mat/DSP behind the flowers & sentiment was adhered with dimensionals.

Did you know that the Textured Ribbon frays well? I had so much fun with this ribbon!

Fray a little on just the ends of the ribbon or fray a lot to tie a bow, knot, or anything else you can think of! Give it a try!

To create the bow, I cut a piece of ribbon and frayed the whole piece and used about half of the strands to create a bow to adhere behind the sentiment.

The daisies were fussy cut from the DSP and the larger one adhered with dimensionals.

Difficult to see, but the centers of the fussy cut daisies were colored with Wink of Stella for a little sparkle.

Embellishments are the 2023-2025 In Color Dots.

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is Basic White cardstock with a 3/4" strip of DSP along the right and the sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp set, stamped using Moody Mauve ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
