The idea for a happy Daisy Birthday card came from two sources. The first is I cased from a card that was part of our retreat during Hurricane Helene. The other spark was that I have been seeing Daffodils and other flowers blooming because of this crazy weather. Who said daisies aren’t good for November!
STAMPS and Dies and Punches
The Cheerful Daisy Dies are really the star of this card. The daisies are one Die cut that I then cut apart. I had to then cut the leaves again from Lemon Lime Twist. I like them better separated. The detail of the flowers and leaves really make them stand out. I used the included backing for the centers of the flowers. But had to cut it down some for the two smaller ones.
The Labeled With Love Bundle is a great one to have on hand. This is one of the bundles that you get to choose between the Punch or a Die. I personally love punches so that was my choice. The sentiment, label outline and then punch are all from the Labeled With Love Punch Bundle. I really like that simple outline inside the label.
PAPERS
The gorgeous Petunia Pop striped paper is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. That is a fabulous pack of DSP. This piece is part of the card highlights to me. It is layered on a piece of Basic White. The card base is also Petunia Pop, as are the daisies. For the Pop of color, I used Lemon Lime Twist to cut the leaves. And there is the bit of Daffodil Delight behind the flowers to show the centers.
EXTRAS
To complete the card, wanted some more of the bright green. I felt like the leaves were all alone. In looking through all of my different bling, I found these Tensile Gems. Sadly they are discontinued. They fit great with the Lemon Lime Twist. If you are like me and love the embellishments in every catalog, you probably have one that would work. And if all else fails, you can color a Pearl using the Stampin’ Blends to create your own. I thought that was what I was going to have to do!

I swear my brain is leaving me. My posts are usually completed the evening before posting. And it totally went out of my brain last night. So today’s post is a bit late. Not that it hasn’t happened before! So today’s card uses one of the hidden gems in the Annual Catalog. This is the Penciled Pear set.
STAMPS
The Penciled Pear stamp set is towards the back of the Annual Catalog. It is placed with watercolor products. There are some simple sentiments like Just A Note, and Thinking of You, along with a line of pears. I opted for the single large pear as the artists had done in the catalog. Actually I copied a bit of their color choices.
The artists used ink pads with a water painter for their coloring. My pear is stamped using Basic Gray Ink. I took the easy route and used Stampin’ Blends. But I did use some of their ideas. My colors are light Daffodil Delight, both Wild Wheat, both Lemon Lime Twist, and both Granny Apple Green. The light Pool Party outline is something I do fairly often but generally only at the bottom as a shadow. I love how this one turned out.
PAPERS
To pull the brightness of the pear colors, I used Lemon Lime Twist as the card base. And then a thin layer of Basic White to help the pear panel pop. The beautiful textured coloring of the gold layer is from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper stack. The front of these sheets are beautiful water color paintings and the backs are like watercolor washes. Finding a gold one fit my needs perfectly.
EXTRAS
The pear panel is cut using a Deckled Rectangle Die. This is the 5th from smallest. The size works out great with the layers on the card for even spacing. And just that bit of an edge the Die leaves is enough of a design I think.
To finish the card I wanted to add one of the simple sentiments. However with the layers as they are, there was not really a good place for it. So I decided on leaving it as is. Now it’s almost like a painting. (Maybe a rough looking one!) And I added a trio of the Faux Glass Dots from the Mini Catalog. There are a couple of different colors. I thought the green would look best. But as it turned out it was the gold that seemed to fit just right.
Measurements
The card base is Lemon Lime Twist cut 4 1/4 X 11 and scored at 5 1/2. The layer of Basic White measures 3 7/8 X 5 1/8 and the gold DSP measures 3 3/4 X 5. For the Die cut panel I used a scrap, but for that size a piece at 3 X 4 1/4 should be large enough.

The card I have to share is a mix of several different products. The unusual one is a set I bought because of the flower. It is the Love & Strength stamp set from the back of the Mini Catalog.
STAMPS
This gorgeous flower is, as I said I said above, from the Love & Strength stamp set. It has very caring sentiments that go with it. I simply loved the flower. These are the type of flowers that can be the star of the card without requiring anything else.
The flower is stamped using Basic Gray Ink and then colored with Fresh Freesia and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. The speckle is from the set as well. It is stamped with Blackberry Bliss that is stamped off first.
The sentiment is from the Keeping Tabs stamp set. It is a perfect little sentiment for the card. The set includes the Tabs to be stamped prior to punching, but a number of cute and simple sentiments. I then used the matching Keeping Tabs Punch to punch out the sentiment. Instead of the bulk of folding the tab over the DSP layer, I simply cut the tab in half. I got the same look without the extra bulk. This Bundle is also available with a Die set instead of the Punch. This is a unique, and in my book wonderful , idea that Stampin’ Up! has done on two different sets in the Annual Catalog.
PAPERS
The gorgeous DSP here is the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper. This pack of paper has fabulous floral sheets. This tone on tone is so elegant looking. From this DSP I pulled the Blackberry Bliss for the card base, as well as the Fresh Freesia for the flower layer. The thin layer of Basic White helps the flower to pop as does the tab sentiment on white.
EXTRAS
The addition of bling is a must. It can be in many different shapes and sizes. The one used is a favorite. This single bling on the sentiment layer is from the Purple Shimmer Dots. There are three or four shades of purple. I held each up next to the card to see which worked best. Thinking it would be the darker one was so very wrong! It ended up being the lighter.

Before I get to todays card, I want to remind you of the end of the Annual Catalog Sale. The sale ends tonight at 1159pm Mountain Time. I stocked up on cardstock and replaced a few of my Stampin’ Blends.
The card I am sharing today is an oopsy on me! I used the Rustic Crate Bundle to showcase one of the bundles that are on sale through today. Except…..This bundle had carried over from last Fall and both parts are still available, just not a bundle. So like I said, oops on me. Even demonstrators, or at least this demonstrator, doesn’t know everything.
STAMPS and DIES
The Rustic Crate stamp set, with the matching Rustic Crate Die set is a great one for almost any time of year. I have used the crate with a Fall harvest. There are also poinsettias, greenery, the gloves, and a few other items. Plus a couple of really sweet sentiments.
The harvest items are stamped using Basic Gray Ink and then colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. The gloves are a die cut from Smoky Slate cardstock. I then added some dirt by gently brushing them with one of my Blending Brushes that I used recently with Pumpkin Pie or Peach Pie ink. There was just enough left on the brush to add a bit of color to the gloves.
The sentiment I chose is , I believe, one of encouragement. And on the inside I have used a sentiment that is extra sweet. I also fussy cut the right side pumpkin from the Harvest stamp and added it to the inside. Here is that view.
PAPERS
There are two different sheets used from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The background is one that I was not really sure of. But after seeing it paired with Petal Pink and Smoky Slate, I really like it. The second DSP sheet is the crate. It is one of the darker wood sheets.
EXTRAS
The focal layer and sentiment layer are both cut using the Deckled Rectangles Die set. The sentiment is the smallest of the set. And the focal layer is the 4th up from that. The torn edge look pairs perfectly with the rustic images and wood look paper.
The bling on this card is from the Fall Mini Catalog. These are the Regal Foiled Self Adhesive Dots. There are four different colors in this package. Each of the dots have gold foil flecks inside of them. I chose to use the green since there is not anything else to go along with the green of the corn and leaves.

I have used the Humble Home Bundle several times and love it more each time. It is great for simple and for layers. Today’s card is more layers, but is still extremely simple to do.
STAMPS and PUNCH BUNDLE
This house is different than the previous ones I have created using the Humble Home Bundle. I now really like the look of the brick for the house. Adding the roof was very easy since these are photopolymer stamps. I will say holding onto the windows and door can be tricky! They are really small! My trusty Take Your Pick tool with the putty end was a lifesaver! And since I am still on the Christmas card kick, I had to use the wreath from the set to highlight the eaves of the house. The house is punched using the bundle punch. And then raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it depth.
PAPERS
The Country Woods Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog may be a surprise on a Christmas card. But for this more rustic one, it works perfectly. Plus it has the colors I wanted. I based all of the colors, except the wreath, from the wood look DSP piece.
The card base is Crumb Cake, which is always a good rustic starting point. Then I pulled the darker brown from the paper that I used on the roof line of the house. The house itself is Pecan Pie, and is in the paper if you really look. Then I went back to Crumb Cake for the “window” layer. I did not like the look of placing the house directly against the wood paper. So I pulled out a piece of Pool Party and add it behind the “window”. That seems a much better look to me. The pool party is also the sentiment layer just to tie things together.
EXTRAS
The most important part of this card is the “window”. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies for this. The stitching left around the window is an added bonus. Plus the square that gets cut out has the same stitching for a future project. I believe the square Die used is the next to largest one.
To give a bit of emphasis to the window, I added a Bakers Twine bow. This is the darkest of browns included in the Essentials Bakers Twine multi pack. To give it a little more oomph, I made it a double bow. It is not big, but adds to the card in my book.
For the bling, I wanted rustic again. I ended up with a retired product. Sorry!! I added one of the Speckled Dots in the Pecan Pie down on the sentiment. Speaking of retired….I did not realize that the Horse & Sleigh had retired from Online Exclusives. My apologies. The sentiment used is from that set.
BONUS
There is a bonus for you today. I used this card in a class over the weekend and made a pdf for it. Hopefully it is clear enough to be helpful to you. If you would like to view / print it. Click Here

The card I have to share with you today is a quick and easy one. I saw a similar one on Pinterest and had to figure it out. And now it is a favorite of mine. I hope you like it as well.
STAMPS
This gorgeous scripted Christmas is from the Peaceful Season stamp set. It is a sentiment only set. There are words to pair with the large Christmas, as well as other sentiments. I chose to use the smaller Merry for the companion. The inside sentiment is also from the stamp set, but not shown.
PAPERS
The gorgeous plaid DSP is the stand out of this card. It is from the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper package. From it I pulled the card base of Garden Green and the layer of Granny Apple Green. Plus the Granny Apple Green is the ink.
EXTRAS
The only extra on this card is the Rhinestone that I colored with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. That is a much darker color to give more richness to match the red of the plaid.
I do have simple directions for this card. Or at least the angle cut section. The Basic White base beneath the DSP is 3 1/2 X 4 3/4. The width is what designates the size of the DSP. The DSP is 3 1/2 square. Then it is cut on the angle using the paper trimmer. I used removeable tape to place the two DSP pieces flush on the top and bottom. That only leaves the opening to stamp where White is showing. Stamp your sentiment, and then add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the two DSP pieces. How simple is this!!! I see these with any occasion and beautiful papers to match the occasion.

I am still trying out different stamps and dies for more Christmas cards . This is the last one for the week. It is simple and beautiful all at the same time. The Painted Tree Embossing Folder is fabulous.
THE STAR
The star of this card is the background design. That is unusual for me to say. But the trees are very detailed and really stand out. The background is created by using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. Once swipe through the Cut & Emboss Machine and you have a great card. And not just a layer. I could have added the sentiment directly to the embossed layer and it would have been great.
STAMPS
This beautiful tree shaped sentiment is from the Merriest Trees stamp set. The set carried over into the Annual Catalog from last year. And I am so happy. If I could have only one Christmas set, this would be it. Plus there are matching Dies that can cut a couple different size trees. But for me, the beautiful sentiment is great and the fun tree shape just puts it over into perfect.
The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the fabulous Greetings of the Season Bundle. Which is also the Die cut shape on the card front sentiment. This bundle is all sentiments and then a good number of different shapes to cut them out with. Most of the Die shapes are large enough for images as well as sentiments. The stitching around the edge of the shape is a wonderful bonus. I also stamped one of the trees from the Merriest Trees set in Soft Sea Foam to highlight the inside. Here is a photo of the inside.
PAPERS
The card base as well as the embossed layer are Mossy Meadow card stock. To match the DSP I added a layer of Real Red to separate the two Mossy Meadows and to also highlight the DSP. This fun banner of DSP is from the Take A Bow Designer Series Paper. This package of papers is a 6X6 pack and the banner is 2X4. So you can actually get 4 banners from one sheet since it is not a directional pattern. Cut the 6X6 to 6X4 and then cut three banners. Then use the 2X6 you cut off and make it the 4th one. This is one reason I love non directional papers.
EXTRAS
To give the banner an added touch, I used the Real Red and White Baker’s Twine to tie a little bow. This serves two purposes. It covers the hole in the tag, and it appears to tie the two pieces together. For the bling, and there must be bling, I have scattered a few of the Iridescent Pearls around the embossed trees. They mimic the polka dots, or snow, on the DSP.

My card for today is still in the Christmas Theme. But is a very soft one. With a change of sentiment it could be a new home, welcome home, etc. The Humble Home Bundle is a great one.
STAMPS
The sweet house used here is part of the Humble Home Bundle. This is a Punch Bundle. The house I used is a single stamp that is colored with Stampin’ Blends and then punched out. There is also stamps to build your own brick house. Or you could simple punch out a white, or any color, house and then add details to it. I love punch bundles and as soon as I saw this one I knew it had to come to me. This is perfect for quick cards.
The sweet little Merry Christmas is from a retired set Framed and Festive from last year. Sadly I thought it was still available, I apologize! But, the included Merry Christmas in the Humble Home set looks exactly the same. However it is with the Merry above the Christmas. That arrangement would be fine. Or you could mask it and stamp it as I have mine.
PAPERS
The beautiful DSP is from the same package as yesterday’s card. This is from the Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper. I wanted a “soft” Christmas card and this fit the bill perfectly. To keep that going, I went with Boho Blue as the card base and the trim on the house. When I was punching out the house, I saw the heart shape on the punch. And I knew it was the perfect accent for the card, as well as matching the sentiment. So both of those are in Real Red. The thin Basic White layer is a separation of the DSP and the Boho Blue, But also to match the sentiment strip.
EXTRAS
This is surprising, but once again there is very little bling. I consider the red heart bling, as it really pops on the card. However I did add a pearl even if it is very subtle. I colored a regular pearl with the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends to make it gold looking. It is added as a doorknob on the house door. Sometimes I surprise myself. LOL!!
