Daisy Delight card for Club

My adaptation for club

Wow!  I had so much fun the other day when we drove up to visit my downline, Shirley!  Initially I wanted to go be a blessing to her but she was such a blessing to me!  My daughter and I took up a light lunch to share and then I was able to participate in a bit of her club.  Before I left she loaded me up with a set of her other projects so that I could play with them at home.  What a sweetheart!  It was such a treat to stamp when I did not have to create them but could enjoy someone's creativity.  I will have more projects to post for later days and it triggered more creativity.  Love you, Shirley!

My take aways:

1. Definitely make time to create an instruction sheet for club projects because those sheets are so handy.
2. I am super glad that I just splurged on more of the auto collapsible trash bins for club/stamp camps.
3. I should always bring the photo holder for my cards.
4. Shirley is Ms. Organization and I could stand to reevaluate my stamping work space!  She even had someone recreate the storage units sold by a popular online storage store.

Happy stamping!

Daisy Delight Card #3

Many of my ladies were not too sure that they would like the Lemon Lime Twist but we all agree that it is a fun color.  I used it quite a bit at my recent stamp camp and it was a big hit.  This was another fun card and I was able to use scraps of the DSP leftover from my stamp camp. Woo hoo!  Always a winner to use those little leftovers.  I am going to make more cards like this one in the future so that I can use the scraps.  I hate pitching them in the trash when the paper is so pretty...

Happy stamping!

Daisy Delight Card #2

As I sat in Big O tires I realized that I left the house before posting this morning.  Yikes!  So sorry that this is late.  I think that I need to figure out how to schedule posts so I won't have to worry about remembering.  LOL!

This was a super fast card.  I picked a framelit and then cut out the Soft Sky CS just a bit bigger so that I could use both parts on the card front.  Does the pearl and ribbon formation look like a face to you?  Maybe I am just too tired.  LOL!  Anyway, I also doubled up on daisies because I like the layered look best.

Happy stamping!

Daisy Delight Bundle Thank you card

I love love love this card!  I found a similar card and then adjusted it to fit the colors of my Designer Series paper and my taste.  Just in case you are interested in the bundle please note that the daisy punch was so popular that Stampin Up sold a year's worth in just a few months.  They have two emergency orders on their way but, for now, the punch and bundle are unavailable.  I believe that at the end of July SU will have the new punches in stock.

Busy morning!  My daughter and I stained/sealed the back porch posts after I treated my flowers with Neem oil to get rid of the pesky Japanese beetles that seem to infest everything and eat my roses down to stalks.  I think that I have a winner because the neighbor (yard of the month) told me what she does to treat her flowers. 

Stamp camp was a blast and this morning I put away my "toys".  Now I am prepping posts for this week.  Hooray!

Here is a Possum pic from when he was helping my daughter empty trash cans this weekend.  LOL!

Happy stamping!

Weekend Video and my new favorite technique

I plan to use this technique at club in July!  Love it!  I can hardly wait to get my paste and goodies to try it.  I did notice that it is marked as low inventory though so you might want to hurry if you plan to order it.

After a happy morning puttering around my yard in the flower beds I am off to my stamp nook to come up with next week's blog content.  I am seriously leaning towards the Daisy  Delight bundle. I do have a disclaimer though...the Daisy punch was SERIOUSLY popular and SU sold out faster than they anticipated.  They pre-ordered enough punches for the entire year (like thousands) and the demos alone about cleaned out the supply.  Once the powers that be saw how popular the punch was they put in an emergency order and then another one but these things take time.  SU turned off the order number on the bundles and on the punches until the first shipment arrives. 

Happy stamping!
