You can't be sad with Daisies around, turning their faces towards the path of the sun

                        

• Stampin' Pretty Nature's Harvest & Daisy Gardens
• Coordinating Harvest Dies, together with these stamps sets lets you create a card filled with Daisies 
• Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin October Kit

Today I found a bag with some precut papers, including the Crumb Cake and a print from the In Good taste Designer Series Paper.  As I looked at it, all I could think of was daisies next to a fence.  So I grabbed the Daisy Garden Stamp set and the Nature's Harvest Stamp Set and created a monochromatic card using as many Daisies as I could find.  I found that the Nature's Harvest Bundle included both the sentiments and the dies I needed to finish my cards.  A quick reminder:  We've begun the final month of Sale-a-Bration.  Until 30 September, for each $50 or $100 order you place (less tax and shipping), you'll earn FREE Sale-A-Bration selections.

The photo below shows the details of this card the best.  I used a basecard of Crumb Cake.  Then a layer of Basic White Cardstock.  And finally a print from the In Good taste Designer Series Paper pack.  

I stamped the Daisy Garden Stamp Set onto the In Good taste Designer Series Paper using Crumb Cake Ink.  It created the perfect background for the daisies from Nature's Harvest.  I first tried the three daisies in Crumb Cake Cardstock, but it seemed to fade into the background of the images behind it.  Then I tried the Soft Suede Cardstock stamped with Soft Sued Ink, and I loved that it gave two different looks.  From a distance, it appears as a silhouette of Daisies.  However, close up, you see the details of the stamped daisies on the Soft Suede cardstock. Combined with the subtle background images of the Daisy Garden, it created exactly the look I was going for.

The sentiment label also came from the Harvest Dies.  I die cut it form Basic White Cardstock, and stamped the sentiment from Nature's Harvest Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink.  I tried several different embellishments, thinking that a pop of color would add to the card.  However, I settled on some Petal Pink gems from the Elegant Faceted Gems package.  They faded into the color scheme of the card and blended perfectly with the neutral background of the card.  To finish the card, I added a bow of Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, and stamped a corner of my envelope with some of the Daisy Garden images.

Fun card creations using Pale Papaya, a new In Color from Stampin' Up!

     

• Pale Papaya Monochromatic Greeting Cards
• Join now, purchase your Mini catalog items at a discount, beginning July 1
• Last week to earn additional $25 in Stampin' Rewards

Here are a few more monochromatic cards from the Demonstrator Swap I've been showcasing this week.  Today I 'm showing several monochromatic cards from demonstrator friends featuring  the new In Color, Pale Papaya.   These cards feature Pale Papaya with Basic White and Basic Black accents.  Stampin' Up! did a fabulous job in selecting the 5 new In Colors for the next two years.  Pale Papaya is among my top two.  My favorite is actually Fresh Freesia.  Take a look at the closeups of each card to see the amazing details each designer lovely added to their card.  Then, be sure to add Pale Papaya inks, papers, ribbons and accessories to your next Stampin' Up! order.  If you haven't tried the new In Color cardstock, you can order an assortment package of just a few sheets of each of the new In Color.  Then pick your favorite colors and order a full pack of the color(s) you like the most from the new In Color collection. 

      

The card below was created by a Demonstrator, Cathy Peck.  She used the Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set for her floral images and sentiment.  She used one of the prnts from the Hand-Penned 12" x 12" designer Series Papers as a layer over Pale Papaya Cardstock.  The image layer is matted Pal Papaya, and the images from the Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set are stamped in Pale Papaya ink.  The sentiment from this set is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Accents on the card include Pale Papaya 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon and sequins from the Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins package.   Charming card, Cathy!

This next card, below, created by Annmarie Turner, uses the Quiet Meadow Bundle and the layers are created using the Scalloped Contours Dies.  The basecard is Thick Basic White.  Then a layer of Basic Black, and a scalloped layer of Pale Papaya.  Then the Basic White  image layer is also die cut using on the of the Scalloped Contours Die -- scallops and stitching in one die cut!  The floral image in Basic Black uses one of the dies from the Meadow Dies.  The butterfly and sentiment label are also from the Meadow Dies and are die cut from Pale Papaya.  The sentiment label is die cut from Pale Papaya Cardstock.  The butterfly is die cut from Pale Papaya Shimmer Vellum backed by a second butterfly in Pale Papaya cardstock.  The butterfly includes a Genial Gem in the center.    What a attractive card for a friend or family member to receive.

This card, below, created by Jennifer Arent, uses a combination of the All Squared Away Stamp Set and the Floral Squares Dies to create this subtle, yet beautiful card.  She used a Pale Papaya basecard.  Then a layer of one of the Pale Papaya prints from the Hand-Penned 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  The sentiments are stamped in Pale Papaya Ink.  The Floral Squares Dies were used to create the famed floral in the center of the card using Pale Papaya Cardstock.  The layer behind the die cut flower was created using one of the stamps from the All Squared Away Stamp Set. The die cut flower includes a Genial Gem accent, and a Pale Papaya bow completes this whimsical card.  I completely missed this bundle in the catalog, and will need to add it to my next order!

Finally, this is the card I swapped using Pale Papaya.  Full details for creating this card are available in my recent post.
