When I first saw this stamp set in our Spring/Summer Stampin' up! catalogue called "You're Inspiring" I knew I had to buy it. Not so much for Easter cards, as I don't usually send them, but for the 2 lovely daffodil images.
It was an obvious choice for coffee and card, as it is perfect for stamping and colouring in. I decided to layer it onto some Old Olive cardstock, which I had embossed using some of our embossing folders which fit in the Big Shot die cutting machine.
The 3 folders I chose were:
- Layered Leaves
- Basket Weave (free with a £90 order)
- Quilt Top

Daffodil cards can be used for many occasions, not just Easter. |
How we made them
- Cut and score card bases in Daffodil Delight card to 99mm x 99mm (gives you 3 cards for A4 sheet)
- Cut a layer of Old Olive, 95mm x 95mm and run through your choice of embossing folder
- Cut an oval,circle or square die cut from Whisper White cardstock. I used the stitched shapes framelits. You get 12 dies for just £27, 4 each of circles, ovals and squares.
- Stamp the daffodil image of your choice on the white card
- Using Blends pens, colour the image in with yellows and oranges as required. (we used Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Pumpkin Pie)
- Stamp the sentiment of choice and punch out using the Classic Label Punch
- Layer the embossed card onto the base card
- Add the image and the sentiment using dimensionals.
I hope you like these cards we made. My lovely friend Lynda popped me some daffodils during the coffee and card morning - and these are the ones you can see in the photos above - Thanks Lynda.
Thanks for popping by today.
