My creative mojo was definitely flowing when I made this card! When I looked at what I had in my basket after I was done, I realized that I had made one of those $100 cards! LOL!
I used 4 punches, 2 stamp sets, a die, linen thread, epoxy gem, and cardstock. Now, I had a great tip from a fellow demonstrator on how to build your “sandwich” with your die cutting machine to help cut out all those little dots on the lace!
You will need your die cutting machine, multipurpose platform (that has tabs), precision plate, 1 clear standard pad, wax paper, lint roller, and die brush.
- Place one piece of wax paper onto the precision plate (which is on top of the multipurpose plate on tab 2).
- Then place your paper on top of the wax paper at an angle.
- Place a second sheet of wax paper on top of the paper.
- Place your Stitched Lace die on top of the wax/paper at and angle. (this helps keep the die from warping)
- Run it through the die cutting machine once for Whisper White and twice for other cardstock/thicker DSP)
- Use a lint roller to remove the small pieces.
- For the stubborn last few pieces, you can use the die brush to coax them out!
Works like a charm each time! My club girls have had no problems!!!

Sweet & Simple Daisy Delight
I am really addicted to the Daisy Delight Bundle! You can make so many different cards, scrapbook pages, and 3-D projects! I made this card for my Sweet & Simple class & Card Class at the Cancer Support Community Center that I hold once a month. A fellow friend/demonstrator here in Frisco showed me a similar card and I had to make my own twist on it!
First, I punched out a Whisper White daisy with the Daisy Punch and placed it aside. Then I used a 2 7/8″ square of Calypso Coral and placed a dot in the center.
I took my ruler and measured corner to corner. It was 4″ so I marked lightly at 2″ and then rotated to measure the opposite corners. I marked that at 2″ to get me close to perfect center. This way when I punched it, I could see the center.
When you place the Calypso Coral (with dimensionals on the back) on top of the Whisper White, you create a daisy from the negative space. I placed the Whisper White Daisy on top rotated to may a fluffy daisy.
I then add the beautiful Calypso Coral Ombre’ Ribbon and matted the daisy with Basic Gray. I did use Wink of Stella on the center of the daisy. I stamped off the solid center with Smoky Slate, then followed with full strength of Smoky Slate. Then toped it off with the Wink of Stella.
I love how simple and clean it turned out! Thanks for stopping by!
Daisy Delight Addiction!
I am soooo happy that the Daisy Punch is back in stock! This is by far my favorite items so far! So easy to make quick cards like the one above! I literally made this in 5 minutes flat! I love to use the color combinations that they have in the Designer Series Paper designs! I just flip over the pack and read the colors used! To add more colors you can stamp off your inks for lighter shades of the ink pads! Gives you more mileage on your ink and color choices!
I just stamped color on color (Wisteria Wonder) and punched out 2 daisies. Used a couple glue dots to adhere together. Then I used my bone folder to fluff the petals. To create the fun fold, I cut the DSP paper to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. Then I cut down the center with the Paper Trimmer (helpful because you control how far the blade cuts into your paper). Finally I folded the pieces back on themselves and placed some adhesive on the back to keep them flat. Crease with a Bone Folder to help. I finished it off with a Silver Faceted gem and took out my Calypso Coral marker to add the faux stitches.

Back to the card….
I love the design that the artist used to make the petals have movement! I used 2 daisies stamped with Night of Navy. I then popped them up on dimensionals with some Gold Sequin Trim (retiring) and do you see the new item?? The Faceted Gold Gems! I LOVE these! They come in Silver too! I added some Gold Wink of Stella (also retiring) to add to the texture and sparkle in the middle.
I love this saying from Label me Pretty! Wait until you see the punch that goes with that set! I LOVE this Delightful Daisy DSP! Such beautiful patterns and color combinations!
