Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects designed around a sketch. I have used the gorgeous Daffodil Daydream stamp set to make a pretty Easter card.

The colours used in this card are:

To recreate the thanks a bunch card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8” by 8” – scored at 4⅛”

Daffodil Delight card – 6” by 2⅝” – all 4 corners rounded
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2½” – all 4 corners rounded

I wrapped a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding around the piece of Dandy Designs designer series paper, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then glued to the Thick Basic White card base.

The bunch of daffodils was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the panel of Basic White card. I also stamped the border image, twice along the bottom.

The flowers were coloured in using the following Blends Pens – So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green. I used the light Daffodil Delight and light Granny Apple Green Blends to add some colour to the border.

The By the Bay designer series paper and the Adorable Owl stamp set by Stampin' Up! used to make a sweet card

Owl on a Striped Background

Posted on February 26, 2023February 12, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have used more of the strips of By the Bay dsp left over from class preparation to make a sweet birthday card using the Adorable Owls stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the striped sympathy card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3”
Night of Navy card – 6” by 1½”
Night of Navy – 6” by ½”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 3”
Night of Navy strip of card – ⅜” wide
By the Bay dsp strips a minimum of 4½” long and of varying widths

I applied strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive to all 4 sides of the 5⅞” by 3” piece of Basic White card. The backing from the adhesive tape was removed and I began laying the strips of By the Bay dsp from top to bottom, making sure to over-lap the top and the bottom. I continued with this until the panel was completely covered.

The excess dsp was then trimmed off using sharp scissors. A length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape.

The ½” strip of Night of Navy card was glued to the top of the striped panel. I ran the 1½” strip of Night of Navy through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with one of the Basic Borders Dies and adhered the resulting decorative edge to the bottom of the striped panel. The whole piece was then added to the Thick Basic White card front with liquid glue.

I used the Layering Diorama Dies to cut out a label form the 3¾” by 3” panel of Basic White card and stamped the owl onto it with Soft Suede ink. The following Blends Pens were used to colour in the image – Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron. Balmy Blue & Petal Pink. The coloured piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Night of Navy card, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set. I cut the words apart and added them to the card front.
