Daisy Vase

I was very blessed to have my wonderful sister-in-law, Shelley and her son, Jacob here last week. Shelley is an awesome scrapbooker. We had the chance to make a few cards together. Shelley chose Mary's card for our inspiration. Here are our two versions:

Mine is the one on the left. I decided not to use the button and left off the vase base. I'm now wishing I had used the base and I'm thinking my sentiment should have been a little lower. I love Shelley's bright colours!

We used my Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot software to make the daisies and vases. The centers of the daisies were embossed with the Cuttlebug Build-A-Flower. Shelley hadn't seen Nestabilities so we used the oval and scalloped oval in my Big Shot for our sentiments.

Thanks for looking,

Washington Daisy

This card was inspired by Ashley's card box and cards. I REALLY wanted to make a card like the front of Ashley's box, but unfortunately I didn't have enough of the checkered Washington Apple DSP left. (I LOVE that paper!) So I used the flower from the box and the layout from her card and combined the two - therefore it isn't a total CASE!

I used my Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot software to make the daisy. I cut it twice for each colour at four inches, three inches and two inches. I used my Cuttlebug Build-a-Flower in my Big Shot for the embossed center.

Carousel Daisies

I love, love, LOVE this card that my friend, Erin made using a Carousel Note and the Daisies #2 Bigz Dies. She also used a Jumbo Brad and some rub-ons. Isn't it a cute card? Thank you, Erin! (Let me know when your blog is running and I'll link it here! :) )




I just had to see if I could use my trusty Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot software to create this card as I don't have Carousel Notes or the daisy die. I found out that the software will not let me cut a scalloped circle quite as big as the Carousel Note. I had to settle for a 5.25" one. I was able to cut the daisies, but because my base was smaller, I should have made my daisies smaller too so I could put a sentiment below the flower. Instead I improvised and put my flower to the left. While I like the look of the card, the problem is that it tips to the left when you set it down. (I cheated and taped it to the table when I was taking the picture! I didn't have any jumbo brads so I used my Cuttlebug Build-A-Flower in my Big Shot to make the embossed center of the flower.

Check back later to see my masculine card I made using the SU Branch Out set.
