You knew you would see another daisy, didn’t you? I do LOVE this die! I see many many daisies in my future (haha). Anyway, as usual, I waited until the last minute to make a birthday card that I needed to get in the mail pronto. What to do? Get out my Big Shot, of course! It’s the best tool for procrastinators like myself! It helps me every time to make a quick card.
bright cheery birthday card
I started with a whisper white card, embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder (117335). I then added some Certainly Celery satin ribbon (117288), tying a simple knot. I made the flower using the Flowers, Daisies #2 die (114520) with Melon Mambo (115320) card stock for the larger 3 layers and Chocolate Chip (102128) for the 3 smallest flower layers. You see I used another favorite embellishment, the Antique Brads (117273) for the very center. Since the flowers from the die have a rather large opening in the center, I used a hot glue gun to keep the brad in the center of the flower. I used my bone folder to gently bend the petals of each flower layer to give some added dimension. I attached the flower and the sentiment banner to the card with Dimensionals (104439). The sentiment is from a stamp set I earned for free during Sale-a-bration last year. Be sure to return to my blog to know when you can earn free stamps like this set! The sentiment was stamped in Certainly Celery (105217) to match the ribbon. One of the BEST advantages of using Stampin’ Up! products is the matching or coordinating items within their lines.
