Daisies and Birch

Hello stampers!  I just wasn't quite ready to put away my Daisy Lane and Birch background stamps...these two sets are a match made in stampin' heaven!
I am showcasing these two stamp sets in my class this week and wanted a couple of other samples to show my customers all of the beautiful images and sentiments.
My stamp class attendees range from the very beginner stamper to the avid stamper, so I often times provide two samples from them to choose from.  One simple version and one that's a bit more advanced.  Providing two samples keeps my avid stampers from getting bored with some of the more basic designs and allows my beginner stampers to not feel overwhelmed.  I always love it when my beginner stampers begin to move towards the avid stamper sample and find that they do have it in them to step things up a bit!

Other than using a couple of different punches, the first sample is nothing more than ink, paper and stamps...and a little bit of heat embossing.  Heat embossing is always a fun technique to introduce new stampers to...it's so magical!
My second sample is stepped up a bit with a couple of fussy cut ferns and some added ribbon.  With the beautiful Birch background stamp, you really don't need anything else!  
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Mango Melody, Whisper White
Ink ~ Gray Granite, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Versa Mark
Stamp Sets ~ Daisy Lane, Birch
Other Supplies ~ Tailored Tag Punch, Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, White Embossing Powder

I did fussy cut the center of the daisy on both samples.  In my classes, I will offer to help my beginner stampers cut any images that they may not feel ready to take on their own yet.  Once they see how easy it is, they are quick to take over!

Have a great day!

Happy Stamping!

A Walk Down Daisy Lane

Hello to all of my creative friends!  Happy Annual Catalog Release Day!
What better way to kick off the catalog than with an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge with some brand new products!!
There are so many colorful and inspiring photos to choose from!  I pulled my inspiration from the floral images and the pretty shades of blue.  The beautiful new Daisy Lane and Birch background stamp sets are a match made in stamping heaven!  I LOVE the Birch background stamp...be prepared to see it a lot!

Aren't these daisies so pretty?  They are stamped in the beautiful new Seaside Spray In-Color...LOVE!  All they needed were just a bit of fussy cutting, a simple little "smile" sentiment and a little bit of bakers twine.  I love it when a card can be so simple!

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Seaside Spray, Whisper White
Ink ~ Seaside Spray, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite, VersaMark
Stamp Sets ~ Daisy Lane, Birch
Other Supplies ~ Whisper White Bakers Twine, White Embossing Powder, Timeless Label Punch

We are on the official countdown to summer break at our house.  My boys only have 6-1/2 days left and I have 12 days left...we are all ready for a much needed break!  I'm so excited to place an order from the new Annual Catalog so I have some fun things to create with this summer!  What's on the top of your wish list?!?!

Have a great day!

Happy Stamping!
