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!

double stepped pop out card

double stepped pop out card

This is a great fun fold for a special occasion! It is rather simple but the extra layer and mechanism make it extra special!

This Double Stepped Pop Out card was inspired by several versions I saw on pinterest and I adapted the measurements to my own version!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at
4 1/2″ and 2 1/8″ for a typical Z fold format
Boho Blue CS: (2) 2″ x 5 1/4″ embossed
DSP: inside piece 4″ x 5 1/4″
outside piece 2 1/2″ x 1/4″ for above words and 2 1/4″ x 2″ for under the word (these measurements will vary based on sentiment size)
Basic White: front piece: 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
inside step: 3″ x 4 1/2″
inside pop up mechanism 4″ x 3 3/4″
Berry Burst: 2 3/4″ x 4″
Lost Lagoon: 3″ x 4 1/4″

Emboss the two Boho Blue cardstock pieces with the Basics 3D embossing folder. Adhere the (2) 2″ x 5 1/4″ pieces of Boho Blue embossed cardstock to the smaller 2 1/8″ scored sections of the Z fold. Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP piece to the inside of the card as shown below.
Score the 3 3/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock every 3/4″. Use the bone folder and burnish the score lines and adhere the fifth section to the first section making a box.
Adhere the box in the middle of the card against the inside score line – first adhering to the back of the card against the DSP.
Add adhesive to the left portion of the square and adhere to the left inside of the card by closing the card front down over the square.
Stamp the outside sentiment onto the smaller Basic White cardstock piece in the center upper portion and adhere the dsp sections around the sentiment. Adhere the white cardstock to the Berry Burst cardstock and adhere the Berry Burst section to the Lost Lagoon.
Stamp the larger white cardstock with the inside sentiment and leave at least an 1/8″ from the right edge so that the sentiment doesn’t peek out when the card is closed.
Adhere to the middle of the square pop out mechanism with Stampin’ Seal adhesive.
Close the card and place the front sentiment piece so that it is evenly bordered with the middle pop out section and adhere to the outermost Z fold section.
I added some Opaque adhesive backed Gems to the front sentiment piece and this is the finished card from a variety of angles!
Such a fun card and an easy fun fold!

Hope this inspired you to try it out and go and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!
