FMS#680 - Daisy Daydream Thank you Card

It's time for this Wednesday's Freshly Made Sketch  hosted by Narelle Farrugi:

I've been preoccupied this week with the beautiful March 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit.  If you love daisies you'll understand what I mean when I say this kit is to die for!  This kit is filled with artistically designed paper, coordinating envelopes daisy and honeycomb ephemera and accessories like ink, dimensionals, and so much more.  Oh I almost forgot to mention in true Paper Pumpkin style, this spring kit contains two wonderfully coordinated stamp sets.  

While I like the three card styles demonstrated in the kit, I prefer to just play with all the bits and bobs and see what I can come up with.  As a result, I thought it might be fun to use the Freshly Made Sketches design #680 to create an alternative card from this kit.  

 

Here's My Card: 



Supplies:

Stamp Set and Dies:
  • Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin stamps
  • Everyday Arches #164623 and Everyday Dies #164269
Cardstock and DSP:
  • Blue cardstock Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit 
    • I cut the original card  base in two at 4" x 5 1/4" on both sides of the base to use as mattes and discarded the center strip that was left.  
    • For the front matte I cut an arch  that measures 4 7/8" x 3 1/2".
    • For the inside matte I used the 4" x 5 1/4" matte.
  • Whisper White card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".
    • cut one matte for inside measuring 3 7/8" x 5" and stamp sentiment, flower and honeycomb for design
  • Lost Lagoon matte 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" first matte layer on front
  • Lemon Lolly matte 4" x 5 1/4" embossed with with Hexagon Dynamic Embossing folder (R) #143231
I forgot once again to splatter my background paper before attaching the ephemera but improvised with a white gel pen and a black marker.  I loved the "honeycomb" effect on the Lemon Lolly paper when I embossed it.  

Ink: 
  • Mossey Meadow
  • Crushed Curry
  • White Gel Pen
  • Black Marker
Accessories: 
  • Dimensionals
  • Daisy Ephemera and Bubble Bee
  • Hexagon Dynamic EF #143231 (R) - for embossing stack #1 + two #2 plates with Die Cut and Emboss or Big Shot machines 
  • Gold Glimmer gems (r) 
I hope you liked today's card.  It was very simple and fun to make.  I was really impressed with the large arched stamp from Everyday Arches.  It was fun to use.  I also was impressed with the Ephemera included in the Paper Pumpkin kit, especially that little bee, it looked so sweet.  Please leave me a comment if you liked this card, I'd love to hear your thoughts. 


HAPPY STAMPING!
