A daisy patchwork themed thank you card made using the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper used with the Lovely Arrangements stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Daisy Patchwork Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are creating using embossing folders. I have used the pretty Lovely Blossoms dsp and the new Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder to make my card which was inspired by a Youtube video from Alisa Tilsner

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the daisy patchwork card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 4¾” by 3⅝” – finished dimensions
Secret Sea – 1” by 1” x 12
Lovely Blossom dsp – 1” by 1” x 12

 

I glued each of the 1” squares of designer series paper to the 1” squares of Secret Sea card, with a small border showing at the bottom and right side.

I hadn’t managed to get them straight or the borders even so started to trim down the top, bottom and both sides in an effort to make the layer even and straight. Inevitably, I kept cutting until there was no border left…………

At that point I ran the whole panel through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder and hoped it would look OK. The panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
