Daisy Delight with DSP

So after posting Deb's beautiful and simple card yesterday I started thinking about using DSP to dress up simple cards. Both of the cards below feature the Daisy Punch, Leaf Punch and Daisy Delight Stamp set.

This first one is just a square of DSP (Designer Series Paper) backed with a piece of coordinating cardstock and embellished with an unstamped daisy punched from cardstock.

The 2nd card steps up the flower a bit. There's a stamp set that matches the daisy punch so I stamped before punching. You'll also notice that there's 2 daisy flowers layered to give a fuller look to the flower.

Using punches helps make a card quick and easy. I consider the leaf punch and daisy punch to be staples in my craft room. And Stampin'UP! has lots of choices for designer papers.

Spend a little time browsing the product. I think you'll find yourself becoming INKspired.

Clean and Simple: Copper Leaf Fall Card

I love how clean and simple this card is.

Its that "less is more" philosophy that gives it a very classy look

The 3 shades of brown all coordinate very well with the bit of shine from the copper foil adding an elegance to the Soft Suede/Sahara Sand combination.

This card was really very easy. The only special tool required is the leaf punch.

I did heat emboss the sentiment, but you could just a easily stamp it in the soft suede.

And I did die cut the squares ( I LOVE, LOVE the Layering Squares Framelits! Perfect cut every time!) but you could just as easily cut them using your paper trimmer.

HINT: save paper by punching the leaf from the copper foil layer. Its buried and no one will ever know the hole is there!

Using Dimensionals to lift the layers is a big plus on this card, but again, if you don't have them, just glue the layers together.

I have a complete list of product used on this card listed below.

Thanks for stopping by, I'm happy to answer questions about this or any other project. Email is in the header at the top of the page.
