Oh Happy Day!

Hi Crafters,

I was away last week for a family wedding and although the weather was terrible, the wedding was beautiful! I might be a bit biased but I think my 2 year old niece stole the show!

I'm back to the craft room and it's time to celebrate as the Daisy Punch and Delightful Daisy Bundle are available to order!  I would highly recommend the bundle - it's really versatile and you can use the punch separately too.

I have a confession!  I really struggle to use patterned papers in my projects!  I have been trying to use it more often as I have mountains of the stuff!  This is a clean and simple design perfect for beginners.  

I have used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper in Powder Pink, accented with some washi tape which comes in a set of five in a pink theme.  I cut two daisies using the Daisy Punch in Gold Glimmer Paper and attached with Fast Fuse.  The sentiment comes from the Happiest of Days stamp set and I heat embossed this in gold.  

Don't forgot that the Bonus Days promotion ends on Monday 31 July.  This means that for every £45 you spend, you receive a £4.50 coupon towards an order in August.  A great way to save on your wish list.

If you would like to earn an ever bigger discount, why not join my team and become an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  It is heaps of fun and you can earn free products delivered straight to your door.  If you would like more information on either of these promotions, please see my post giving all the details.

Happy crafting,
Rachel

Daisy Thank You

Hi Crafters,

The Delightful Daisy Suite from Stampin' Up! has been so popular that the punch won't be available to order for a little while.  With this in mind, I have a card today showcasing the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.  This card is really simple and would be great to use up scraps of patterned paper.

I cut the DSP into 1" squares and added to a piece of Whisper White card in a 3 x 3 pattern using Stampin' Dimensionals.  I also attached my topper using Stampin' Dimensionals to give extra height.  Finally, I stamped my greeting using the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy.

Happy crafting,

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Hello New Friends

Hi Crafters,

I am joining the Global Stamping Friends on their tenth blog hop today.  We are saying hello to new goodies this month.  Be sure to check in with all the blogs and let us know you've visited by leaving a comment.  We love hearing from you.

As the brand new Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue launched just yesterday we are welcoming some new friends into our stamping stash.  I absolutely fell in love with the Delightful Daisy suite and knew I had to use it on my card.  The picture below shows just some of the wonderful projects that can be made with this suite.  

I created my card using the main daisy image and paired it with the Hexagons 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The daisy image also comes with a matching punch but I'll leave that one for another post!  You can also spot one of the new In Colors for 2017-19 which i have used to stamp and as the background cardstock.  It's hard to choose a favourite but Berry Burst might be nudging ahead!

I am holding my annual Open House event to celebrate the launch of the new catalogue and this will be the make and take.  I love how simply the flower layers up and gives a really effective image in no time.  The thank you sentiment is also from the Daisy Delight set and I know this will feature on several projects.
