Libby's Craft Studio: Delightfully Eclectic Daisy Card

Stampin' Up! Only (SUO) Flower Challenge #328.

I love flowers, so naturally, I had to enter this challenge!

I used the Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies Bundle, Crafting With You Stamp Set and Delightfully Eclectic DSP to create my "Handmade Hug" card.

For my card base I used Basic White cardstock followed by a layer from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP.

Another smaller piece of cardstock was layered on top with another of the same DSP.

The center strip behind the flower is Petal Pink Cardstock, which was embossed using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder.

The flower was stamped using Petal Pink ink and the flower center using Crushed Curry ink. Next, I die cut the flower. The sprigs were die cut using Old Olive Cardstock.

I tucked the sprigs behind the flower, added the ribbon with Seal+ to adhere in place and finally adhered the flower with dimensionals.

Wink of Stella was brushed on the flower center to add a little sparkle.

I used Petal Pink Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack and cut a piece long enough to be able to loop behind the flower and extend on both ends. I pulled a piece of the ribbon to fray the ends, which adds a cool touch to the ribbon.

NOTE: The ribbon, for some strange reason, doesn't fray as well on the opposite end. To remedy this, I cut another strip of ribbon and frayed the end that was much easier and adhered it behind the flower.

To finish off my card, I added Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

DSP was added on the envelope flap.

The sentiment is from Crafting With You Stamp Set, inked with Petal Pink ink.

I wanted to do something different, because if I fussy cut freely around the sentiment, it's almost always ends up a hot mess for me! So, I came up with this idea. Now, it may not be a new technique, but it works great for me.

After stamping the image, I cleaned the stamp and pulled it off the stamp block and lay it directly onto the stamped image, lining up the stamp with the words. Holding it in place with my fingers, I traced lightly around the stamp with a pencil and fussy cut, erased any marks showing and adhered with dimensionals. Boom! I have a sentiment with a unique border around it.

Let me know if you have tried this technique in the past or plan to give it a try.

Inside my card is DSP layered with Basic White cardstock. Using Petal Pink ink, I stamped the flower image using Petal Pink ink in two corners.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
