Daisy Days Two Ways

As many people will know, I am a huge fan of the Print Shop series from The Greetery.

The whole premise of these products is that stamp and stencil combos are used to create pretty background patterns, and matching dies can be used for extra pop.

I love how quickly cards come together with the Print Shop series - they are all so cleverly thought out, enabling you to get lots of colour on your project and lots of detail while keeping the steps simple.

The Daisy Days product suite reminds me of the lovely botanical and floral prints you see from high-end stationers like Rifle Paper Co. Especially when combined with the coordinating Daisy Days "fill-in-the-blank" A2 paper pack (although I'd class the "paper" as cardstock, as it is a nice heavy weight and takes ink beautifully).

For my first card, I used one of the A2 papers in pink and applied every step of the stencilling except the one that colours in the actual daisies, as I wanted to leave them white.

Once the stencilling is done, you just use the large stamp to add all the petal details in one go (I used light grey ink for this on the white daisies) and the little stamps for the flower centre details.

Inspired by the colour palette, I stamped the "Thank You" from Opposites Attract in an earthy green tone and used black ink for the scripty part of the sentiment.

I was definitely in the mood for vibrant colours for my next card.

After stencilling and stamping the main background on white cardstock, I cut out the floral spray with the matching Daisy Days die.

I wanted some extra pop for this card, so stamped the daisies in two shades of pink and cut them out with the matching dies to layer over the stencilled daisies.

Top tip: If you only want to add a little dimension, glue layered up scraps of cardstock to the back of your die cuts before attaching them to your project. You can then save your foam tape/squares for when you need more dimension.

For even more colour contrast, I went with a cobalt blue card base so those flowers would really pop.

This time for the Opposites Attract sentiments I stamped the main sentiment in black and the scripty sentiment in cobalt blue ink.

As a final finishing touch, I added clear Nuvo drops around the floral spray.

So as you can see, you can create vastly different looks with the three products in the Daisy Days suite, from the subtle and simple to the bold and dimensional. So many possibilities!

Until next time, happy crafting!
