Daisy Doodle Paper Arts

Youtube video for these cards. These are the cards I created as Paper Pumpkin alternatives for December 2017, but for the black, lemon lime twist and calypso coral card I used the sketch at Viva La Verve for December.  Viva La Verve has the most beautiful cards.  I like to go back and look at previous challenges (but incidentally I started not being able to find them).  This is a short post today as I have holiday baking to do and I actually need to color another Christmas card, mail a few more out and pick up a last minute gift.   I have colored a super cute snowman card so when I get all versions completed I'll post those next.  Merry Christmas!

Click here for Youtube Video previewing this card and paper pad. I made this card for Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge 676.  This is a square card.  I didn't stamp, I used a paper pad called "Blue Blooms" and used the sentiment, I was kind of in a hurry and also I really wanted to use this paper pad.  I flip through the pad in the video link above.  Its 12 x 12 and is a hot buy which means its only $5.99 when you catch it on sale.  This one is well worth it, these papers are beautiful and the rose papers are stunning.  The ribbon is a seasonal item I got from Michael's and the button and eyelet came from Aliexpress.

I created this card for the Sunday Stamps Challenge 168.  I am using the brand new bundle from Stampin' Up!, Bubble Over.  It includes the Bubble Over stamp set, and Bottles and Bubbles framelit dies.  The Bubbles and Fizz paper is not available for purchase.  You can get it with a $50 or more purchase.  I do have the paper, but I did not use it (except for the bottle cap, which I die cut from the paper).   Its a cute set, but the sentiments are somewhat plain.  On the flip side, there are 19 dies, plenty to work with and you can create cute backgrounds with the stamps.  I think they are nice stamps.  In this card, I used some lighter brown paper that came out of a journal (I like the color over the darker kraft paper).  I inked the edges and stamped the sentiment on the bottom layer.  For the smaller panel, I brayered Calypso Coral and then embossed the bubbles.  I inked the edges of the circle, and left a gradient effec...

I created this card for the MFT Sketch Challenge #363.  I used the brand new bundle from Stampin' Up!, Petal Palette Bundle (includes Petals and More dies), pages 23-24 of the 2018 Occasions Catalog.  I will be filming a video showing a few card samples plus all the images and die cuts.  Its really nice.  Originally I did not order this, I thought the lines looked thick, and its the most expensive bundle,  but I'm impressed.  I did order the card pack, Petal Passion Memories & More, so its on its way to me.   The large flower stamp from Petal Palette is amazing!  For this card, I used Calypso Coral and Whisper White for the base and did a gradient color wash.  Then I stamped the dots.  The slanted paper is from a Recollections paper pad called, C'est La Vie, its French and its so adorable.  As of now, its still available for purchase.  I don't know what the pattern is called, but its very French.  I cut a sma...

YouTube Video for these two cards: https://youtu.be/3giaOLZIZWE I created these two cards for the SSC167 Sunday Stamps Color Challenge.  Could have done a little better by adding in some darker gray or red, but I liked the clean look of these.  I have really enjoyed working with the Tags and Trimmings Stamp Set and Trim Your Stockings dies from Stampin' Up! This is the color inspiration for this challenge.

I created this card for the Simon Says Stamp Card Challenge.  This is the first card I have created for any of the Simon Says Stamp Challenges.  I kept this one simple. I used the Simon Says Stamp "Christmas Sweater" background stamp.  I embossed it in white on to a very light blue cardstock (not sure which brand).  I cut two panels using SSS outside stitched rectangles.  I wrapped 1/2' white cotton ribbon (the Paper Studio) around the bottom 1/3" of the card, and then folded a tiny piece over that ribbon.  While I was making the card, the mail arrived, and I received my Stampin' Up! "Petals and more" thinlets, so I used the label included in that set.  The set was a gift from Janet Wakeland, and I am so thrilled!  The "Let It Snow" greeting is from an AliExpress Stamp set and the mitten stamp also came from AliExpress.  Both of these stamp sets were less than $3!  I stamped the mittens and then fussy cut those and adhered them to ...

I created this card from an old sketch, but I love the results!  I found this cute puppy as a free image on Pinterest, so I printed it and colored it with my TouchFive alcohol markers.  I layered patterned papers on white cardstock stock.  The ink I used was Tempting Turquoise from Stampin' Up!.  For the base layer, I brayered with Tempting Turquoise ink and then used an older Sizzix embossing folder with swirls and stars.  The circles are also brayered with Tempting Turquoise ink.  I plan to send this to my neice for her birthday.
