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.

share and inspire someone today!

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.

Thank You!

Time is precious and I’m truly grateful that you chose to spend a few minutes of your day here!

  3. 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!

What a unique idea! šŸ™‚ 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!

  15. 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.
