Hello crafty pals! How are you? Happy Sunday! Did you see my post on the SSS Blog yesterday? I hope so, because I LOOOOOOOOVE that project! (CLICK HERE) And if you leave a comment you could win a prize. It was super fun to make that one! Is it hot where you are? It's been 105 every day here. Whew. I did some organizing in the studio yesterday and stayed inside! I made one mistake, though. I had planned a casserole for dinner! Ack, so I had to turn on the oven! I have been making tons of recipes off Pinterest! So far, they've all been pretty good! I hope you are keeping cool and having a fun weekend.
Today I'm sharing a pretty, clean and simple card made with the lovely Stitched Daisies Dies from Simon Says Stamp. I used a new paper collection from Doodlebug called Smitten Kitten! It has all kinds of pretty pastels, and the prettiest shade of blue. So I made blue daisies! Is there such a thing?? Oh well, there is now! I love to combine patterned papers and this paper pad has been calling to me all week. This is a good card layout, too, if you have some papers you want to use up.
I started with a Bazzill Rock Candy card base and layered the floral paper and then the white paper. Then I had fun cutting out and assembling the flowers.
I attached the daisies to my card using foam squares to make them pop off the page. It gives a bit of dimension, but the card will still fit in an envelope! I adore this paper! (Maybe I already mentioned that!) LOL.
This birthday stamp is from the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Bits stamp set. The stamp set also comes with the splatter stamp used here.
Thank you for spending part of your weekend here with me! Best wishes for a great week ahead! XOXO
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY:
Your daisy's are beautiful Wanda! the pink dots make them pop even more! Gorgeous!

I really like this card. Especially the way you have laid out the papers. The daisies are so perfect, and in blue!

Pretty card. Yes, very hot here, too, and the 10-day forecast is awful.
Loved your SSS post yesterday--you've been busy!

If there are blue daisies, I want a whole bed of them. I adore the cut on the background paper also. The font on the birthday stamp is so sweet. Yesterday's card was such a stunner Wanda .The finished card surely reflected your joy in creating it. We are getting a little break from the heat this morning as it is raining here in Michigan. Boy can we use it!

Another beautiful card. I love pattern paper and I'm always looking for ways to add more pattern to my crafts. Thanks for sharing.

This is gorgeous, Wanda!!! Love the mixture of papers you used & the sentiment is lovely!! Stay cool this weekend! We have a nice cool breeze this morning so we're enjoying the opportunity to have the windows open (for a few hours). :)

This is a really pretty card Wanda. I never occurs to me to use patterned paper in this way but its beautiful. (I need to try this.)
It has been very warm here (N.S.) as well so I am trying to stay near the AC. LOL
TFS!
