hello, daisy!
This month’s Craft-a-Flower has TWO different daisies and leaves. There’s so many ways that you can use these dies. I’m going to show you THREE! There is also a bundle with two of the gradient cardstock packs – Green Meadows and Summer Afternoon. Of course, they’re the perfect compliment to this die set!
basic plus a blend
I wanted to show of the basic look of the diecuts for this first project. The CAF Bundle will get you 90% of the way there! You’d just need to blend a background with the coordinating Summer Afternoon inks, the Warm & Cozy inks and the Large Blending Brush. Then add a sentiment. I used the Mega Label Love set.

Save your diecuts! I layered mine together and cut around the edges to make these lovely daisy outlines. Then, I adhered them randomly to the card base and snipped off the excess. It was a total 2-for-1 with the first card. I used the same colors for a circular blend, and added in the Waterbrush Hello die cut for a sentiment.

coffee? what the what?
It’s ok. You can do a double take on this one. I promise, though, that this card DOES belong in this hop! I’m not one to “see outside the box” with stamps dies, punches, etc… but, guess what I saw with those daisy centers? COFFEE BEANS!!!! Skip the flowers totally and make yourself a fun coffee themed card.

You are so funny! I never would have thought of that. Anyway, the flowers are really sweet, and COFFEE is a necessity in life, and on cards
The daisies look good when they are bold and also good when placed on a same colour background.
So creative – beautiful cards
Stunning cards. So much variety here. And brilliant idea using the centre as coffee beans. Goes to show how versatile this set really is.
I love daises.
Oh my gosh! I love all three cards. The ink blended backgrounds really set off the daisies. I can’t decide which I like best – the flowers or the outlines. I will definitely use that trick – just love it. The coffee beans are a stoke of artistic brilliance. LOVE that card!
Great cards! 2 for 1 is always a win! And how creative to use the centers for beans! So creative!
THE COFFEE BEANS! YES! That is an amazing idea! WOW! I am also in love with the glowing yellows you used, so warm and sunny! Great use of the cute new die set!
Love the brightness of the flowers. TFS
Lovely cards! And always love seeing a coffee themed card. Yum.
Loving the daisy outline of the dies.. it really means you can optimize your dies when you can use 2 for 1 die…and end up with really great cards..
These are Fabulous!!!
Now that you mention it, the centers do look like coffee beans. Love your cards.
What fun, happy cards! I love your blending on the first card! Aren’t you clever with the coffee beans!
The daisy cards are brilliant! I love what you did and I have to have the daisy die! Thank you!
Great ideas for using this new die set. Love the card you made with the left over die cuts! Very clever and also the coffee beans you made with the flower centers. You get the creativity prize.
Oh my goodness what a great idea with the coffee Bean!
Your cards are really nice, I especially like the 1st one?
Nice.
That’s incredible that you saw coffee beans out of that! So cool ? I am also in love with the sunset color palette you chose for the two cards…I am a sucker for the warm colors. So vibrant and full of life!
I really like the negative part of the die. This is cheerful.
That’s a really great idea to save the die cuts. Both cards have their own look. And…I love the beans as well!
Such beautiful cards! The two from one set of die cuts is a great idea, and your blending is superb!
I’m a sucker for ombré! Great ideas!
Both cards are pretty but I really love the hello one!
Your cards turned out beautifully. I especially like the first card with the great background colors.
Absolute adore each card and the coffee beans are awesome!
Love these cards! Love your creativity in creating coffee beans from the flower centers!
Absolutely STuNNING yellows! I LOVE THESE DAISIES!
So beautiful! Great color, too.
Gorgeous card! I love these pretty daisies and the colors you used for your card!
Cheery yellows! I love how you did the “Hello” card. It’s really different and so pretty!
Hahaha! I enjoyed a chuckle when you came up with the idea of coffee beans! I think your cards are great! I really love the “hello” with the daisies! It’s a cool die set! Oh,and I love the bright yellows too!
Love your designs Nicole, very clever coffee bean design. This is a very pretty CAF set. Looking forward to the FB live on Monday, thanks for sharing!
Wow! How lovely – 3 wonderful cards showcasing these gorgeous daisies! Thanks for the inspiration! Take care! 🙂

What a unique take on the daisy release….LOVE them
I love your ombre background. I think yellow really is the color of summer.
Great cards!
I love how you used your “scraps”! Two beautiful cards – I’ve got to buy this die set!!
Gorgeous cards. I love the beautiful daisies and the colors (and your coloring) are beautiful. I do love all things yellow!
Beautiful yellow daisy cards, love these techniques with layering dies! And your daisy center coffee beans … brilliant!
What a great way to take a lovely simple card to a gorgeous layered card . . . at least it looks like! the blending is beautiful.
Really like the first card!
The ink blending looks fantastic!
coffeebeans – now that is out of the box thinking!
Lovely cards! The yellow is so cheerful
Great cards!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Love the yellow! Shaded background really works?
Like your idea to use the scraps. Like a reverse daisy.
Awesome creations, I love your SUNNY daisies!
Great set and to go with your ways to get the most out of the die. I love the coffee stain card and use of the centers as the sweet beans. Such a creative mind. Great cards.
I love your bright yellow cards- so pretty!
Great cards. Your coffee card made me giggle.
I never would have thought that coffee beans could come from flower centers! What a unique idea! 🙂 I am no longer a coffee drinker but the idea is great and since so many folks are coffee fans, you get more bang for your daisy buck! I really like your daisy cards, such vibrancy! Enjoyed your post! Crafty hugs!
Love all the gold—-we need some cheer right about now! This newest flower die set is awesome! And the coffee bean card rocks!
These are fabulous, and I love the tone on tone!
I like the idea for the additional card from the cut remainders. Wondered if those parts could be used. These layering types make great looking negatives.
I love the one with the scraps. It’s a fabulous idea and looks beautiful.
Cheery and creative cards using the extra pieces.
Hi Nicole 🙂 Your daisy cards are big, bold and beautiful!!! WOWZA! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love yellow! It’s so cheerful. Lovely cards. Great idea for coffee beans. Lol
