Daisy Delight Bouquet

This was the bonus project from my final monthly Cards & More class. Life was a little tough for a while there, and I had to eliminate some classes. But, things are better now, and I’m hoping to add in some new and different classes!

Do you recognize this little vase? It’s a syrup bottle from Cracker Barrel! I try to upcycle as many things as I possibly can to keep things out of the landfill.

Stamps: Daisy Delight

Cardstock: Soft Sky, Early Espresso

Ink: Early Espresso

Punch: Daisy

Paper: Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack

Other: Soft Sky Satin Ribbon (retired), floral wire, leaves from a silk flower stem

Stay tuned for more new projects from the Occasions Catalog.

Daisy Delight Circle Flap Box

What do you think about the closure for this box? It’s really different, isn’t it? It’s made with circle punches. It actually has two boxes; the outer box that you can see, and an “inner” box that’s made just a tad smaller. The circles are glued onto the outside of the inner box, so that when it’s assembled, you don’t see them.

This box is finished with a belly band of ribbon and the daisy stamp and punch.

Stamps: Daisy Delight

Cardstock: Whisper White, Tranquil Tide, Calypso Coral

Ink: Daffodil Delight

Punches: Daisy, 2″ circle punch

Paper: Delightful Daisy DSP

Other: Tranquil Tide 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon, Gold Faceted Gems

Stamp Case Suitcase

I recently posted about my VIP Party on a demonstrator site, and I had a lot of requests for more information on the Stamp Case “Suitcase” I gave to my guests. If you missed the party posts, you can see them here and here.

I made each of my top ten customers a personalized suitcase.

I started by cutting a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) 7″ x 11 1/4″. This size fits neatly into the plastic cover of the full size Wide Stamp Case.

I slipped the DSP into the cover and closed the box. This creased the paper so I could better see the dimensions of the area I wanted to decorate. I then removed the paper and decorated it with the Whisper White cardstock strips, Large Letters Framelits, and Daisy Delight Bundle. I then re-inserted the DSP into the cover of the stamp case.

I cut a piece of cardboard to 1 1/4″ x 7 1/2″, and centered my handle on the cardboard to mark where the holes for the screws should go. I punched holes in the cardboard strip. To double check, I placed my handle on the strip to be sure the punched holes were lined up with the screw holes. I got my handles at Home Depot. They are 3 3/4″ from center of one screw hole to the other.

I centered the strip on the spine of my stamp case (with DSP already inserted) and marked the holes (I used a Sharpie). My hubby drilled through the case and paper, using the proper sized drill bit for my screws. He used a power drill. Be careful not to make the holes too big. He screwed the handle onto the spine. Note: the screws that come with the handles are too long, as they are made to go through cabinet drawers, so you’ll need to purchase shorter screws.

I used a manual screwdriver to attach the handles. It takes a bit of effort, but you’ll have more control.

Have fun with these!

One final note: The stamp cases were accidentally left out of the current Annual Catalog, but they are still available for purchase. The item number is 127551. They can be purchased at my shopping link below.

Daisy Delight

One of my Stamp Club hosts, LaAnna, recently had a party during her month. This is such a great idea because it gives her a chance to get her friends together for a fun time and build on her group orders to earn more FREE product.

We made this cute card as our make-n-take project. We used the notecards, which come pre-cut and scored and include envelopes.

Stamps: Daisy Delight

Cardstock: Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

Ink: Night of Navy

Punch: Daisy

Paper: Delightful Daisy DSP

Other: Gold metallic thread, Gold faceted gems

If you’d like to have a girls’ night out with your friends and make a project or two, let me know! We can party at my house (or yours). You invite the friends and bring the snacks. I’ll do the rest!!

Delightful Daisy

Another make-n-take from April’s OnStage event, this card uses supplies from the Delightful Daisy Suite. The Delightful Daisy DSP (Designer Series Paper) in this suite is absolutely gorgeous!

We also have new bling! The Gold Faceted Gems add a nice sparkle to the daisy center.
