Cheerful Daisies Suite Collection

Hi my friends,

Today I am highlighting 2 of the new 2023-2025 In colors. They are Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat.





I cut the detailed border with an Elegant Border Die (#161593) from Moody Mauve card (#161732). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). I taped a small strip of the Wild Wheat card (#161734) to the edge of the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (#161289) and attached this to the base card.

The outline of the flowers from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) were stamped with Moody Mauve ink (#161649). I used the Stamping off method to add the colour to the inside of the petals with the same colour ink. The flower centres were stamped with Wild Wheat ink (#161651).  “Thanks” from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) was stamped with Moody Mauve ink. 

The daisies & sentiment were cut with Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296). The Moody Mauve card under the flowers & sentiment was cut with a Radiating Stitches Die (#161595). One daisy was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) & the other daisy & the sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the petals for that little shimmer. The embellishments are from the Classic Matte Dots (#158146).

Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

Do you love this Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (#161467) and the Countryside Inn Suite Collection (#161474) as much as I do?




The Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder (#161473) co-ordinates with this design from the DSP which I also love. After embossing this, I matted it with the Boho Blue card (#161733) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I cut the Boho Blue & Basic White circles with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). I stamped “Happy Birthday” from Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561) with Boho Blue ink (#161650) on the white circle. I then dry embossed the White circle with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing folder. The circles were taped together and the Boho Blue circle was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The dragonfly from the now retired dragonfly stamp set was stamped onto Vellum (#106584) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was punched with the Dragonflies Punch (#154240) which is still available. I also punched a dragonfly from the Boho Blue card. These were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I added the Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems (#161300) to finish the card.

I cut the Basic White card (#159228) with the Elegant Borders Dies, For the third card I cut the top & bottom. I then dry embossed each card with one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders (#159170). The coloured cards and white cards were taped together then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Pansy dies (#155680) were used to cut the pansies and leaves. For the first card I used the following cardstock - Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky (#159264), Daffodil Delight (#121680) & Rich Razzleberry (now retired), Garden Green (#108605) and Pear Pizzaz (retired).

The Silver Trim from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) were also attached with Mini Glue Dots.

All the sentiments are from my favourite stamp set - Go To Greetings (#158763) and stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214), Berry Burst ink (#147143) and Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099).

Cheerful Daisies

Hi stamping friends,

The Cheerful Daisies Bundle (#161297) has been used on todays card. The bundle consists of the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) and the Cheerful Daisies Dies (#167297). It is so much easier knowing which stamp set and dies are in a bundle when they have the same name. Thanks Stampin’ Up!






The outline of the daisies were stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143) and I coloured them with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675). I used Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) to stamp the centres. These were cut with the co-ordinating dies.

The fine leaves at the top of the card were cut from Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and the other leaves from Lost Lagoon card (#133686). I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of both these.

“Thank You” is from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set (#161521) and this was stamped with Berry Burst ink. A Timeless Arrangements Die (#161525) was used to cut the sentiment.

I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (#161598) and this was matted with the Berry Burst card (#144249). The Base card is also Very Vanilla.

The leaves were attached to the card front. The daisies and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold trim from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was applied to the petals and flower centres for a touch of shimmer. The embellishments are the Adhesive -Backed Solid Gems (#161300).

Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper

Hello again my friends,

I hope you have had a chance to see the new catalogue. One of the beautiful Suites is the Fresh As A Daisy Collection (#161301) which includes the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (#161289).




One of the designs in the DSP has a variety of images suitable for card fronts and I have used one of them on this card. I cut a piece of Shaded Spruce card (#147006) to matt the DSP. The corners were cut with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) and this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front is Bubble Bath card (#161727) - I love this new pink colour. I dry embossed this with one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (#161598) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228). There are 3 embossing folders included bin the Basic Embossing Folders.

The sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). I used a die from the Countryside Corners dies (#161471) to cut the sentiment. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the petals of the daisies for that little bit of shimmer.

Beautiful Balloons

Hello everyone,

Firstly I apologise that I may not have a card to post every day over the next 2 weeks as I am away. I was hoping to get enough cards made before leaving but ran out of time. As you probably know the new catalogue is now available so I am using the Beautiful Balloons Bundle (#161457) on this card. I made this card before the end of the previous catalogue so I have used 2 of the now retired products.




I stamped the ribbons for the balloons onto the Basic White card front (#159228) with Bubble Bath ink (#161664). I dry embossed the card front with the spots from the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (#161598).  The edges were daubered with Gorgeous Grape ink (# 147099) then attached it to the Basic White base card. The Gold Fine Shimmmer paper (which is now retired) was cut with a die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies (#161456). I threaded the Gorgeous Grape ribbon (sorry, also retired) through the die cut piece. This was attached to the card front.

The balloons from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set were stamped with Bubble Bath ink, Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Gorgeous Grape ink. For the larger balloon and using VersaMark (#102283), I then stamped it with a different image and embossed this with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The balloons were cut with the Beautiful Balloons dies.

The label is cut from the same set of dies, then I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set with Gorgeous Grape ink. The balloons and the sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the label.

Countryside Corners

Hello friends,

Today (1st May) is the last day to purchase any remaining retiring products from the Annual catalogue and mini catalogue. By the time you see this it may be too late to purchase the retiring products. The are lots of products carrying over to the new catalogue as well as lots of new products. I have used a mix of “old” & “new” products on todays card.




The Countryside Corners stamp set (#161468) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). This stamp set has 6 border images in the one stamp as shown below. The dies co-ordinating with this stamp will cut out each different design. I used the die so I could see the dotted lines and used the next smaller die to cut the Hello, Irresistible 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#161139).




I dry embossed the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598). The corners were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) then this was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) onto the DSP with Pretty Peacock ink then I attached this to the stamped card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). This was taped to the Pretty Peacock card.

I cut the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291) with an Eden Die (#157831) and attached this to the Pretty Peacock card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The butterfly was cut with a Designer Tags Die (#159165) from the Gold Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The small butterfly embellishments are the Brush Brass Butterflies (#158136).

The Eden dies and Fine Shimmer Paper are the retiring products.
