Card: Clean and Simple

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! I hope everyone's week is off to a great start.  Just a quick reminder to cash in those Bonus Days coupon codes if you are still holding on to them.  They expire August 31st and you don't want to lose them!

Today's project is sweet and simple! I needed a little sweet and simple in my life as it has been quite the adventure lately! I (somewhat) unexpectedly re-joined the workforce and have been so busy getting used to our new routine! New job, new school for my little = one crazy mama! But things are starting to settle down and I finally had some quiet time this weekend to create.  And boy was it needed.  It amazes me how much "crafting" and "creating" can just quiet the soul and give you time to reflect on everything that may be happening in your life.  I took my quiet time and created a card that I thought spoke to my quiet side.

And here is today's project...


The daisies! So simple, so sweet, so perfect! Usually when I think "clean and simple", I think lots of white.  But today I thought I would change that up and focused on a Crumb Cake background to really help the Powder Pink daisies pop.  Just one simple sentiment and this sweet, little card was finished.  Oh, but don't forget that touch of linen twine! This is the first card that I have ever done with the twine wrapped around the inside of the card and I think I will be using this a lot in the future.  I love how it gives it that extra "gift" look.

Card Duo: A Duo of Daisies

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! I have a simple duo of cards to share today that feature the beautiful Daisy Punch.  These cards are simple, easy to make and I really think the color possibilities are endless.  I have chosen to feature the daisy in a bright, cheery yellow with a light gray background.  I have paired a few retired products in the mix today and I love when I can pull out some of my favorites to complement the current catalog products. 

And here is today's project...




The card layout is so simple that I quickly put these two cards together to be given individually or as a set.  I love that gray gingham paper as a background and it really helps to put that beautiful daisy front and center.  One card features some added pearl embellishments to dress it up just a bit and the other features the pinewood planks embossing folder as a base. 





Card Details
Size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Neutrals DSP
Ink: Gray Granite, Daffodil Delight
Stamp Set: Daisy Delight, Heartfelt Blooms
Tools: Daisy Punch, Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder
Accessories: Share What You Love pearls
