Daisy Delight is one stamp set I can’t get enough of.  In fact, the entire Delightful Daisy product suite has many favorite items in it!  This is one of the first suites of products I bought from the new catalog and it continues to be my favorite.

The stamped design was created using watercolor paper and watercolor pencils.  For the background, I just blotted on some Tranquil Tide ink and then sprayed the watercolor paper with water using a Stampin’ Spritzer. Then I died the paper with a heat tool to dry it faster. The image was stamped on the watercolor background using Tranquil Tide and then colored in with a Watercolor Pencil and Blender Pen. A little of the new Copper Trim tied around the stamped image was the finishing touch.

TheDSP I used in this card is my favorite from the Delightful Daisy DSP.  Three are so many beautiful papers in this set of DSP and you get such a wide range of colors and designs. It really should be on your wish list! Click On the Image below to see the DSP in detail.

I made another version of the card, but decided I did like it as well as the one above for my blog feature card.  But it kept sitting on my desk and I liked it better and better.  This one started out as a similar idea, but I used a splatter stamp and hanged the background color. The flower also needed some ops, so I stamped it again on another piece of paper and layered it using a dimensional.

I think these are just the perfect Summer colors!  I am having a great time using the new Memories & More card packs to create easy, quick cards.  This one uses cards from the Color Theory pack as well as the Jar of Love stamp set.  I sat down the other night with my card packs and decided to try a few more cards.  I did an earlier one to show off the new Berry Burst In Color, which you can see HERE! Today, I am working with some familiar colors, Olid Olive and Daffodil Delight. I picked this “Summer Memories” card to feature and these colors just seemed to work the best.

I used another pattern from the Color Theory DSP stack to die cut the leaves.  The pattern had a crackled effect and I thought using the Old Olive version of that to die the cut the leaves was a lot more interesting than stamping them for this particular card.

Adding a few Daffodil Delight Flowers, some Daffodil Delight Baker’s Twine and the card was done.  I encourage your to try the new Memories & More Card packs. They come with 72 Double Sided cards, stickers and transparencies all in a pack for $10.00!  Its a great deal.  I have plenty to use for quick cards and enough left over for memory keeping or more cards.  Definitely more cards.  Below is another card I made using the Memories & More, the Daisy Delight stamp set and Daisy Punch.

My Paper Pumpkin arrived last week and I am always excited to see it in my mailbox.  You just never know what you are going to get.  Most of the time, I love my Paper Pumpkin, but there are some months when I am just over the top thrilled with it!  This is one of those months.  Of course, I had to put my own spin on it, so these cards are a departure from what the kit actually is.  You can see the kit put together exactly as per directions below.  But being able to “make it my own” is one of the things I love about Paper Pumpkin and Stampin’ Up! in general.  That is because all the colors in Paper Pumpkin match Stampin’ Up colors.  So, you can take card stock, ink and embellishments from your Stampin’ Up! supplies and create items in the Paper Pumpkin kits to be exactly what you want! See the image below for the kit contents and designs.  You get supplies to make 4 gift bags and 6 note cards.

So, if you haven’t gotten on the Paper Pumpkin parade yesterday, I encourage you to give it a try.  Just sign up on or before the 10th of each month to get the next month’s kit.  Your first order comes with an acrylic stamp block so you can mount the stamps.  Everything you need to make the kit is included in your Paper Pumpkin Box.  Click on the Paper Pumpkin logo below to sign up today!
