fresh as a daisy one sheet wonder cards

fresh as a daisy one sheet wonder cards

In the package of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper is an unusual page of mixed images. This one sheet wonder offers easy card making in a snap and I thought I would give you some ideas for this 12″ x 12″ paper. I have made eight cards from one sheet and additional card bases, ribbons and embellishments and a few extra scrap pieces for some sentiments!

Below is the original DSP sheet.

I found the easiest way to cut the sheet apart is to start at the top and cut the top section off 4 inch section right below the pink daisies and Wild Wheat bamboo section on Pretty Peacock.
Then revolve the paper and cut off the right hand side section with the Boho Blue dotted section and the daisies on the Wild Wheat background. Then cut apart the last two sections directly above the sky scene.
Now cut all the individual sections apart. You will have ten sections and I combined some of the smaller sections to create the eight cards.
I cut the small green section into 1/2″ strips and adhered one to each side of the pink daisy square and added it to a Shaded Spruce card base. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and added some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish this easy card!
Next I cut the Boho Blue polka dotted section into 1/2″ strips and cut the daisies on the Copper Clay background in half. I made two cards with these pieces, adhering the strips on either side of the daisies sections and adding them to varying card bases.
I added Boho Blue ribbon to the first card and the 2023-2025 In Color Dots in the matching Copper Clay to finish this one.
This one is slightly different – adding the section directly to the Boho Blue layer and stamping the sentiment You Made My Day directly to that layer. I mixed and matched the In Color Dots using both prominent colors of Boho Blue and the Copper Clay.
This next card was super simple adding the section directly to an Early Espresso base and wrapping the Wild Wheat ribbon around the section before adhering to the base. I added a sentiment on Basic White scrap and added some Wild Wheat In Color Dots to finish.
The larger scenic images make designing a card super simple – doing all the work for you! I layered the sky scene onto a Boho Blue piece of cardstock and stamped the smaller flowers in Wild Wheat around the sentiment, with the Brushed Brass Butterflies finishing off this easy card!
Blending Brushes did all the work on this card, using a scrap of Basic White I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock and added the same ink to the edges. I filled in the middle with Wild Wheat and adhered it to the middle of the card over the Bamboo image of DSP. I adhered two daisy die cuts to either edge of the sentiment piece and Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish!
This next card uses the last section of Boho Blue dotted paper and the Yellow striped paper.
I stamped the smaller flower cluster in Boho Blue ink around the sentiment and adhered the blue section to the left side added it to a Boho Blue layer and adhered all to a Crushed Curry base with a Boho Blue ribbon and Wild Wheat In Color Dots.
On the last card I used a base of Moody Mauve and matted both the Pebbled Path section and the Moody Mauve daisy section onto Pebbled Path cardstock. I stamped the smaller flower image and a sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and popped it up over the two sections on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adding Pebbled Path ribbon and In Color Dots pulls it all together for eight cards that let the DSP do all the work for you!

Hope you try this one sheet wonder technique soon and go create some artwork of your own – one stamp at a time!

fresh as a daisy impossible card

fresh as a daisy impossible card

I have seen the impossible card showcased by many demonstrators, so I decided to try my hand at it and let you know how easy this is!

It is called the Impossible Card because when you look at it it is hard to believe that the base card is made from one quarter sheet of card stock. You cut and fold and twist the card so it takes on this unique pop up version and it is so adaptable to any type of card – birthday, thinking of you, wedding as I made here! Literally anything can be made with this fun fold!

Measurements:
Base: Pretty Peacock CS 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ cut and
scored according to the directions and
diagram.
Basic White CS: 3 1/4″ x 4″ cut per diagram
scraps for Flower dies and sentiment punch
(1) 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ for cross piece matte
DSP: 2 ” x 3 1/8″ for pop up center section
3″ x 3 7/8″ cut per diagram
(1) 5/8″ x 5 1/8″ for cross piece

The diagram below details the cutting dimensions.

For the main base section, cut at 1″ from top of CS to the 2 1/8″ mark. Flip card stock over and cut at 1″ on opposite side of first cut down to the 2 1/8″ mark. Rotate and score between the two bottom marks of the cut lines. Then cut at the halfway point of the 5 1/2″ side at 2 3/4″ from the score line to the opposite end of the 1″ cut marks. (do not cut into the pop up section but go the opposite way of the 2 prior cut marks – see the diagram)

Take the Basic White card stock for the matte and at 3/4″ cut from the left side down to the 2 1/8″ mark. Flip 180 degrees and repeat. Cut from Line 1 stop point to Line 2. The cut from Line 2 stop point to Line 1.

For the DSP 3″ x 3 7/8″ piece: Cut in 5/8″ from left side down to the 2 1/8″ mark. Flip 180 degrees and repeat. Cut from Line 1 stop point to Line 2. Cut from Line 2 stop point to Line 1.

Burnish the score line back and forth in both directions so that the fold is very pliable. Take the right hand section and flip it in the opposite direction.
Adhere the DSP L shaped pieces to the white mattes.
Adhere the first section to the base card.
Adhere the second L shaped piece to the other side section of the base and then adhere the DSP smaller rectangle to the pop up section.
Adhere the DSP narrow strip to the narrow white matte and adhere it to the two bottom pieces to give the card more stability.

I added a daisy die cut to the narrow strip and stamped the sentiment from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set and punched it out with the Lasting Label punch and adhered it to the center pop up section.

I added five Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card balancing two on either side of the flower and one large rhinestone in the flower center.
Such a fun card with an unexpected twist! Try this soon and let me know how you liked it! Now go and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!
