Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the last day of March! How was everyone’s weekend? Saturday night I went to a fund raiser and ended up winning 2 tickets to a Red Bulls Game. Soccer has been a big thing in my house for years, since my son started playing when he was 5 (he’ll be 30 in June). I spent most of yesterday working in my living room doing some spring cleaning. I find I’m much more productive if I work on 1 room at a time rather than my normal jumping from room to room.

I have a quick card for you today using an older set and DSP that seemed to have gotten forgotten about over here. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder, 2 3/8″ Circle Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies and Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #679

Emboss a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP using the Distressed Tile EF. Wrap a piece of White Baker’s Twine around the panel 3 times and tie a bow. Adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Cut a panel of Highland Heather into a banner using Paper Snips. Stamp the sentiment from Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top of the banner. Sprinkle it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Randomly stamp the detailed and solid daisy images from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. Adhere the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch cut a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP. Cut the 2nd largest Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic White. Adhere the panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to the die cut circle using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered circle to the banner using Stampin’ Seal. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Dots for Days to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the stem and leaf images from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the detailed daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the stem. Stamp the solid daisy image in Highland Heather Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. Stamp the flower center image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink inside the daisy. Adhere a strip of Splendid Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the stem and leaf images from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the detailed daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Highland Heather Ink and the solid daisy image in Highland Heather Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Stamp the flower center in Crushed Curry Ink. Adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
