A Fun Daisy Wreath!
Aloha, all!
By golly, I got to play in my craft room TWICE today! Well, it's pretty late in most places on the mainland. But I'm still posting here on June 30th. Not to worry, though – everything that's in this fun project is also in the brand new Stampin' Up! 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog. It's still not "out there" for me to link to; but check back later on July 1st, and I'm sure you'll find a link to it right over on the left of this blog post!
One of our FCE club's fund raisers every year is a rummage sale. BIG rummage sale! As I was helping set up and, of course, browsing through the goodies, I came across a stack of Card Maker magazines from a couple of years ago. Score! No one else had a chance at those babies.
A project that caught my eye as I leafed through them this past weekend used one of the Sizzix Big Shot dies to make a wreath. The die they used was the Stars #2 die (guess what just got added to my July 1st order list!). Not having that die, I worked through some of the other dies trying to make a similar wreath. The Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies die makes one that's to die for! But it's more scrapbook page size than greeting card size. While I'm sure that I'll show that off before long (think some new designer series paper with some round pages!) I really wanted to show off a card. So the Flower Daisies #2 die it was!
I took some more time out today (yes, I did get some chores done, but I was really not that into housework today as you can tell) and made this card. My Stampin' Up! demos group, SUDSOL, had a great sketch challenge this week, and this fit right in.
New colors: Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight. New Designer Series Paper: Greenhouse Gala. New Ribbon: 1/8" Daffodil Delight Taffeta Ribbon. Not new but still fun stamp from the set On a Pedestal.
Here is a set of instructions for making the Daisy Wreath! As soon as I get my hands on the Stars #2 Die, I'll make a sample using that and update the instructions!
Have fun with this!
