Cheerful Daisies

I should really call this Cheerful Sunflowers because that is what I told Barbara at Splitcoaststampers they are! She is the Color Challenge hostess and chose Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green with sunflowers as the optional "dessert."  Although the theme of sunflowers seems autumn-like to me with the Granny Apple Green it was easy to make this springlike.

I used the Cheerful Daisies stamp and die set. The flowers in this set have outline and solid stamps allowing you to choose if you'd like to color the flowers, or if you're not into coloring (or in a hurry as I usually am) you can use the solid stamp to color them in. The die set contains outline dies to cut the stamped images and solid dies that cut flowers and leaves and even the sentiment label!

I love floral spray cards; they are very simple to make. I just cut out my images and then start arranging - like you would do with real flowers. When I find the arrangement I like I start gluing. Tip - I use a fine tip glue and adhere the top image where I want it first, leaving the other images in place while I do. I glue down just the center of the top image (or I use a Stampin' Dimensional) so I can slip the other die cuts in place and adjust if necessary. Again I use just a bit of glue for all pieces. When everything is in place I can add more glue underneath with my fine tip glue.

This card went together very quickly. Adding the thread may have taken me the most time! 

The new Spring Mini Catalog has just released from Stampin' Up! and there are a ton of great new products which I will be featuring in the coming weeks.

For every $50* you spend with me I will send you a retired stamp set or die set from my stash ($100 earns a bundle while available!) Some of my sets are lightly used, but many are brand new! Spend at least $200 and I will also include some retired DSP. This is while supplies last so act now!
