Everything is coming up Daisies

Daisies and more daisies, I am just loving this new Daisy Lane Bundle.  Here is today's creation:

So I decided I wanted to match up this stamp and punches with this years new in colors.  

So I started with a base that was made using the pretty peacock cardstock (a little dark in this pic, hubby really needs to help me get my photo box set up) and then I added a layer of whisper white that I stamped with the ferns (some second generation as well) using pear pizzazz and soft seafoam ink. 

The daisies were created using a mixture of cardstock and inks that included whisper white, seaside spray, rococo rose and purple posy (the purple posy ink is not available at this time so I simply used my stampin write marker to stamp with).  I mixed some of the larger daisies in with some of the medium daisies and played around with the colors until I got a mix I liked (each daisy is three layers of the large and three layers of the medium daisies).  I shaped the petals a bit with my bone folder to give them more dimension (speaking of dimension I did pop the medium daisy centers up on the larger ones using a dimensional).  I stamped the sentiment on purple posy cardstock with the pretty peacock ink and punched it out using the timeless label punch.  I added a second layer of the punch that was made from the rococo rose cardstock and added a little of the silver metallic thread and popped it on with dimensionals.  I added some bling from my stash and there you have it.

I was pretty pleased with how the card turned out.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Remember if you make a purchase between now and the end of July and use the hostess code: ESGKSBFD you will receive the PDF files for the indicated projects from this blog (if you wish to make a purchase of $150 or more be sure to contact me so that I can set you up with your own hostess code so you can enjoy some free product, you will still receive the PDF files).   This months featured product is the Daisy Lane Bundle.  If you wish to place an order for any of the products shown here just head over to my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or click on the shopping cart at the top of this post.

Time for Floral Romance

So I loved the affect I got using the crackled paint background stamp and copper embossing powder on my Daisy Lane card so today I decided it was time to create a card using that technique and the new Floral Essence stamp set.  It did involve a little fussy cutting but the result is well worth the effort.  Here is what I came up with...

Place any order on my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net and use hostess code ESGKSBFD (if you wish to place an order of $150 or more please contact me for your own hostess code so you can earn free items) from now until the end of July and I will send you a PDF file that includes the full instructions for this card.  

I would seriously recommend the Floral Essence Bundle (Item #151055) I have really created some beautiful projects with it.  Here is another example...

I hope you enjoy these projects and as always, Happy Crafting!!!

Rustic Daisy Lane

So I had a bunch of fun creating an elegant card using the Daisy Lane set yesterday (I also threw in one of the new 2019 - 2021 In Colors - Pretty Peacock) so today I decided to try for something rustic (this could even be given to a guy).  So here is what I came up with, what do you think?

I had so much fun creating these cards that anyone who orders the Daisy Lane stamp set from my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net (or you can click on the shopping button at the top of this blog) from now through July 22nd will receive a free PDF file emailed to them with the instructions to create this and other cards showcased here.  Just be sure to add your email address with your order and I will get them right out to you.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do and as always, Happy Crafting!!!

Elegant Daisy Lane

I was playing around with the new Daisy Lane stamp set and wanted to see if I could make it a little more elegant and here is what I came up with. 

I love the look I got from using black as my base.  I have prepared instructions for making this card that I will be offering free to anyone who purchases the Daisy Lane stamp set from my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net (or click the shopping button at the top of this blog) between now and July 22nd.  I do have to say however, I did take a little liberty and used a sentiment that is not in the Daisy Lane stamp set but there are others there that will work nicely.  Check out the stamp set below.  This is just one of the free instruction sheets being offered (check out previous and watch for future posts about this offer). 

As always, Happy Crafting!!!

A Good Man

A Good Man, now isn't that what we all need?  So many of us have been blessed to find good men throughout our lives and for that we are thankful.  I have been blessed with many but there are three that really stand out, my father, my father in law and my wonderful husband.  I am always struggling to find nice masculine stamp sets to make cards for the men in my life so when this new stamp set - A Good Man, item #149270, was introduced in the new annual catalog I was thrilled. 

I just love the images on this set as well as the great sentiments.  While I used these to make Father's Day Cards this set would be amazing for any masculine card.  I can certainly see some masculine Birthday Cards coming from this set as well.  Here are my cards:  

For my Dad

For my Father In Law

For my husband

Didn't they turn out great?  I am very pleased with each of them.  I have to admit the new Stamp and Blend alcohol markers make me look way more talented then I am when it comes to the coloring.  I hope you enjoy these cards and as always all the products used to make these cards can be found on my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog.

Happy Crafting!!!

Inspiration comes in the strangest places

So I have been missing in action for the past week as I made a trip to the Biltmore in Ashville, North Carolina.  Oh what a magnificent house but the best part and the most inspiring was the beautiful gardens and conservatory.  There were varieties of flowers there I had never seen in person.  So when I returned home and was looking at the beautiful Paper Pumpkin kit for April I was even more inspired. 

So here is what the kit looks like (it included products to make 9 cards, 3 of each designs along with the matching envelopes and a beautiful gift box that holds all of them) but remember there were some extra products in there and an ink spot and a beautiful stamp set that can be used over and over.

So I decided to combine the stamp set along with a few other products and make some more cards, this is just a small sampling of what I created.

Here are a couple of them up close.  I decided to use a couple different ideas, some embossing folders, some DSP but they were all done on watercolor paper using the aqua brushes and inks.  I really love the affect I got with the watercolor paper.  

Don't know what the paper pumpkin is all about?  It is an amazing hastle free monthly crafting subsciption.  You receive everything you need to make amazing, easy products including an exclusive stamp set.  Just choose a subscription plan and get started.  Subscriptions are available in 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 month plans.  You must subscribe by the 10th of the month to receive that months kit.  Well let me just tell you the new May kit is really something, we got a taste of it during last months On Stage event and I can't wait to recieve mine.
