Here's another A2 size card I made using the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and coordinating Daisy Punches from Stampin' Up!.

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store

Like the cards I posted yesterday, I used DSP for the top mat.  For this card it was cut from the Natures Poem DSP set.

The bottom mat is cut from Tranquil Tide CS.

I added to this card, a frame cut using the Heirloom Frame & Dies Set using Soft Sky CS.

The Daisies were stamped on Whisper White CS using Tranquil Tide Ink.  They were cut out using the two coordinating Daisy Punches, and then assemble with a drop of Tombow Glue in the centers. When attached they were all popped up with Dimensionals.

The leaves were cut from Tranquil Tide CS using the Leaf Punch and one of the dies from the Foliage Frame Framelits.  I used one of the styluses from the SU Take Your Pick Tool to crease the leaves that I had punched out, and added a bit of  Wink of Stella to them.

The sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and was stamped on Whisper White CS using Tranquil Tide Ink and cut out using one of the ovals from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

I attached all the other pieces as shown to the top mat, and then to the bottom mat, and then to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

For this first card the top mat was cut from a piece of  purple DSP in the Botanical Butterfly Set.  The bottom mat is cut from Highland Heather CS.

The Daisies were stamped in Highland Heather Ink on Whisper White CS, cut out with the coordinating Daisy Punches and assembled with a dot of Tombow Glue.

I used 2 circles cut from Post-it Notes to mark the positions I planned to place the daisies and stamped the fern from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set onto the DSP using Mossy Meadow Ink around the circle shapes. Then I popped up the daisies using Dimensionals.

I cut out 4 leaf sprigs from Mossy Meadow CS with the Sprig Punch and attached them with Tape Runner as shown.

I attached the top mat to the bottom mat and then the completed piece to a White Card Base.

To finish off the card, I colored 2 Clear Faceted Gems using the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blend.  Give the ink some time to dry and then place them in the center of the daisies.

This second card is done similarly.

The DSP is from the same Botanical Butterfly DSP set.

The bottom mat and the leaf sprigs were cut from Granny Apple Green CS.

The daisies were stamped using Lemon Lime Twist Ink on Lemon Lime Twist CS.

I stamped the fern stamp using Lemon Lime Twist Ink - in hindsight I wished I had used Granny Apple Green Ink for a bit more contrast - maybe next time.

I colored the Faceted Gems with the dark Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend.


The top mat for this third card is from the Color Theory DSP Set.

The bottom mat is cut from Dapper Denim DSP.

The daisies were stamped on Whisper White CS using Dapper Denim Ink.

The trim is Pacific Point Stitched Edge Ribbon.

The Clear Faceted Gems were colored with the Dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blend.

I finally got to try Stampin' Up!'s Daisy Lane Stamp Set and the coordinating Daisy Punches this past week. It was one of my favorites in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  I am planning to do a series of posts starting with this simple card today.

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store

The top mat on this A2 size card was cut from Whisper White CS.

The bottom mat was cut from Flirty Flamingo CS.

I stamped 6 of the smaller daisies on Whisper White CS using Flirty Flamingo Ink, punched them out using the Medium Daisy Punch and assembled them with a small dot of Tombow Glue in the centers.

Next I stamped the stem using Call Me Clover ink onto the bottom mat 3 times trying my best to connect them.  Wasn't perfect but it came out okay.

I used the dotted stamp from the Waterfront Stamp Set with Flirty Flamingo Ink to add some splashes of color, and then popped up the completed daisies with Dimensionals, as shown.

I attached a several coordinating Enamel Shapes and a triple bow made with some Flirty Flamingo Ribbon I had in my stash.

The top mat was attached to the bottom mat, and then the finished piece to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

My next post will show you some daisy card using DSP for the top mat.

Here are  two more A2 size cards I made when my sister was up late last year, using the Best Catch Stamp Set and coordinating Catch of the Day Dies from Stampin' Up!.  Her grandson is an avid fisherman.

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store

For this first card the top mat was cut from Crumb Cake CS.  The bottom mat was cut from So Saffron CS.

I stamped various shapes from the Catch of the Day Stamp Set onto the top mat using Crumb Cake Ink to create a background.  Then I stamped one each of the fish, hat, hook, and fishing basket using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Whisper White CS.  They were all colored using the So Saffron and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend sets.

The sentiment is from the same set and was stamped using Crumb Cake ink on Whisper White CS, and was layered onto a scalloped circle of  Soft Suede CS and was popped up with Dimensionals. Both pieces we cut using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies.

The fish was popped up onto an oval cut from So Saffron CS, which I layered onto a scalloped oval of Soft Suede CS, both of these pieces were cut using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies.

The hook and hat were attached to the top mat using Tape Runner, the basket was popped up with Dimensionals.

The finished top mat was attached to the bottom mat and then to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

For this second card the fish and basket were stamped on Whisper White CS using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored using Night of Navy and Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends. The basket was cut out with the coordinating Catch of the Day dies.

The sentiment was stamped using Smoky Slate Ink on Whisper White CS and layered onto an scalloped circle cut from Smoky Slate CS.  The dies were from the Layering Circle Framelits set.

The bottom mat was cut from Smoky Slate CS.  The top mat was cut from a piece of the Twinkle Twinkle DSP.

The basket and sentiment were popped up with Dimensionals.  The fish was cut using the square Stitched Shape Framelits and was attached to the top mat using Tape Runner.

The finished top mat was attached to the bottom mat and then to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

I finished the card using a few sequins, as shown.

Here's another two A2 size cards featuring Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and the coordinating Magnolia Memory Dies from Stampin' Up!

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store


The top mat for this card was cut from Crumb Cake CS at 5-1/8"x4-1/8".  

After applying the Embossing Buddy to the mat, I stamped the 2 Magnolias, as shown, using Versamark Ink, sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder, tapped off any excess, and heated the embossing powder with my Heat Gun.  

I applied Whisper White Ink to all of the flower petals using an Aqua Painter.  I repeated several times.  When the white was solid enough I used a Sponge Dauber to apply the Seaside Spray Ink toward the center of the flower.

The  sentiment is from the same stamp set and was stamped with Soft Suede Ink onto Seaside Spray CS and cut out with one of the oval Stitched Shape Framelits, and them popped up in the center as shown using Dimensionals.

The top mat was applied to a 5-1/4"x4-1/4" piece of Seaside Spray CS, and then the 2 mats were attached to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

I finished off the card front by adding 2 Self Adhesive Gold Sequins, as shown.

This card was CASEd from one I saw on Pinterest by Linda Dalke.



The standard size top mat for this card was cut from Soft Sea Foam CS.  

The standard size bottom mat was cut from Fresh Fig CS, And then run thru the Big Shot using the Tin Tile Embossing Folder.

I  heat embossed the magnolia for this card onto a piece of Vellum, using my Embossing Buddy, Versamark Ink, White Embossing Powder, and my Heat Gun.  Heat the powder slowly as Vellum can pucker as it's heated - if it does you can usually get it to flatten out by placing it between some heavy blocks,  books, stacks of cardstock or copy paper.

I applied Fresh Fig Ink to the flower and Always Artichoke Ink to the leaves on the back of the Magnolia piece with my Aqua Painters.  Repeat the process until you think you have enough color showing thru the front of the piece.

I attached the flower to the top at using lots of Glue Dots.   Then I added some Fresh Fig Ribbon toward the bottom of the card and a few Enamel Shapes, as shown.

This Sentiment is also from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and was stamped with Fresh Fig ink and cut out using one of the Layering Circles Framelits.

The mats were attached to each other and then to a White Card Base.

This card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.

This A2 size card features the So Many Stars and Star of Light Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up!

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store


I started this card by cutting a 5-1/4"x4" mat from Night of Navy CS.

Then I stamped the tiny cluster of stars from the So Many Stars Stamp Set all over the mat using Whisper White Ink. When the ink is absorbed by the CS it looks like a pale blue.

Next I embossed the 7 stars from the So Many Stars Stamp Set and the Star Trail from the Star of Light Stamp Set on the top and bottom of the card stamping them with Versamark ink and using White Embossing Powder.  

I used a Sponge Dauber to add some Whisper White Ink around the large star in the center of the card.

I added some Wink of Stella around the outside of each of the 7 stamped stars. And then sprayed the mat with Shimmer Spray for some extra shine.

The sentiments are from the Star of Light Stamp Set and were stamped on Whisper White CS using Night of Navy Ink.  They were cut out using a frame from the Petals & More Thinlits set. The smaller frame on the bottom was die cut twice to shorten its length to match the size of the sentiment.  The sentiments were popped up with Dimensionals.

Lastly the mat was attached to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

These A2 size cards feature the Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!.

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store

For this first card I began by cutting a 4"x3-1/4" top mat out of Whisper White CS.

Then I used some masks (cut from scraps of cardstock) to color the background.   First I placed one mask toward the bottom of the card and used Gray Granite Ink and a Make-Up brush to color above the mask.  I used a second mask further up the panel and used Tranquil Tide Ink to lightly color the sky area.

I stamped the group of trees stamp from the Lovely As Aa Tree stamp set using Tranquil Tide Ink.

The sentiment stamp is from the Toile Tidings stamp set and was stamped in Tranquil Tide Ink.

I mounted the top mat onto a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper cut at  4-1/4"x 3-1/2"

The bottom mat was cut at 5-1/4"x 4" from Tranquil Tide Cardstock and dotted with Whisper White Ink.

I taped a piece of White Ribbon with Silver Metallic Edges across the center of the bottom mat and then popped up the finished top mat using Dimensionals.

The completed piece was attached to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

This 2nd card was also colored using masks.  The standard size top mat (5"x3-3/4")was cut from Whisper White CS.  I covered the bottom of the mat with one of the curved masks and also applied a 1-7/8" circular mask toward the top of the mask, and then lightly shaded the top with Tranquil Tide Ink.

After removing the 2 masks I stamped the group of trees using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

The sentiment is from the October 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Pining for Plaid, and was also stamped with the Memento Ink.

I used glue pens to apply glue on the stamped lines at the bottom of the trees and sprinkled on some Dazzlin' Diamond Glitter.  Then I sprayed the whole card front with Shimmer Spray.

The top mat was attached to a standard size bottom mat of 5-1/4"x4" Tranquil Tide CS and then the completed piece attached to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

For this 3rd card I began by cutting 3"x4" piece of Whisper White Card. 

I applied a 1-1/4" circular mask and then lightly colored the piece using make-up brushes and Shaded Spruce Ink.  After removing the mask, I stamped the trees using Shaded Spruce Ink.  Then I dotted the panel with a glue pen and sprinkled the mat with Silver Glitter and sprayed it with Shimmer Spray.

I also stamped the pine tree from the Lovely AS A Tree Stamp set using Shaded Spruce Ink and fussy cut it out.

Next I cut a standard top mat out of Whisper White CS and cut out an oval shape using one of the Layered Ovals Framelits as shown (slightly off center).  The sentiment is from the Star of Light Stamp Set and was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink.  Then I attached the top mat to the colored piece using Tape Runner and popped up the pine tree to the left side with Dimensionals.

The completed piece was attached to a standard bottom mat of Shaded Spruce CS and then to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.


For this 4th card I cut the top mat from Night of Navy CS and stamped several times using the Pine Tree from the  Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set using Whisper White Ink.  I used the Stamparatus to stamp it several times to get enough of the white color.  As the white ink dries it soaks into the paper a bit and so the trees almost look light blue.

I used a the Stampin' Chalk Marker to dot the sky.

Next I roughly tore the top edge off a scrap piece of Whisper White CS, drew several wavy lines of glue across the piece and applied Ice Stampin' Glitter.  I used Tape Runner to attach it to the bottom of the top mat and trimmed off the ends to fit the mat.

The sentiment is from the Star of Light Stamp Set and was heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I sprayed the completed top mat with Shimmer Spray.

The top mat was attached to a bottom mat cut from Seaside Spray CS and then to a Night of Navy Card Base.

The top mat was attached to the bottom mat and then the completed piece to the card base using Tape Runner.

These A2 size cards feature the Tidings All Around Stamp Set and the coordinating All Around Wreath Dies from Stampin' Up!

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store

For this first card I began by cutting 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" square of Whisper White CS, and then stamped it with the 3 branch stamp from the stamp set using Shaded Spruce Ink- by placing the stamp on my Stamparatus and then rotating the mat to form the wreath shape.

Next I stamped the dot cluster from the stamp set as shown and the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set in Real Red Ink.

I popped up the mat using Dimensionals onto a top mat cut from a piece of the Under The Mistletoe DSP set, and added a couple strips of narrow red ribbon from my stash.

I attached the top mat to a bottom mat of Shaded Spruce CS, and then to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

For this next card I stamped the wreath from the Tidings All Around Stamp Set using Emerald Envy ink on a scrap piece of Emerald Envy CS, and die cut it using the coordinating die from the All Around Wreath Dies. 

I cut an appropriately sized circle of Whisper White CS and used Tape Runner to attach it to the back of the Wreath.  I cut some sprigs of Gold and Green Foil Paper using the dies from the same set and used Tape Runner to attach them as shown.

The sentiment is from this same stamp set.

I popped up the wreath using Dimensionals onto a top mat of Wrapped in Plaid DSP.  And attached the piece to a bottom mat of Emerald Envy CS.  And then to a White Card Base.

I added a gold bow to the wreath on the completed card.

Both of these cards were embellished with either Enamel Shapes or colored Frosted Epoxy Droplets and Bows. I wrapped some green twine around the green card.
