Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

Daisies are perfect for a bright and cheerful spring birthday card, and the new Cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Cheerful Daisies Dies allow you to create projects with both lovely floral elements and elegant sentiments.

The daisy was cut from Basic White Cardstock using the large solid die from the Cheerful Daisies Dies. The largest floral element was carefully separated from the rest of the arrangement using Paper Snips. The same die was used to cut two additional pieces from Garden Green Cardstock, and this time the leaf elements were isolated. Crushed Curry ink was added to the centre of the daisy element using a Sponge Dauber, and the green leaf elements adhered behind the daisy petals using Multipurpose Glue.

The stitched tag was cut from Crumb Cake Cardstock using the largest die from the Tailor Made Tags Dies, and a Basic White tab cut and added to the top of the tag. The daisy element was adhered to the top portion of the tag, and a Crumb Cake Twine loop (from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack) was threaded through the tag hole.

The Basic White stitched label was cut using the die from the Cheerful Daisies Dies, and the sentiment stamped using Garden Green Classic Ink. The Lost Lagoon strip was added to a standard Basic White Cardstock base, and the tag and label elements adhered to the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were added as the final embellishments.

And here's the project it inspired:

The simple sentiment on this card means it can be used for so many different occasions. It uses Copper Clay, one of the colours in our new 2023-25 In Color™ Collection, but could easily be made with any of our In Colors.

Using the 2 ⅜" Circle Punch, two semicircles were cut from the top and bottom of a Copper Clay Cardstock layer. A Copper Clay patterned paper strip, cut from a sheet of Designer Series Paper from the In Color 6" x 6" DSP pack, was adhered across the centre of the cardstock layer. This panel was then attached to the Basic White Cardstock base using Stampin' Dimensionals. A circle was cut from the same DSP sheet using the 2" Circle Punch and cut in half. Each half was adhered directly to the Basic White Cardstock, filling the gaps left by the semicircle apertures in the Copper Clay layer, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. For the sentiment, a circle was cut from Basic White Cardstock using the 2 ⅜" punch. The sentiment was an assembly of three separate stamps from the Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp set, which were arranged on a Clear Block before being stamped onto the Basic White circle in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The circle was then added to the centre of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
