Case Monday - Daisy Delight

Hello, my stamping friend.
From time to time I like to CASE a card and create many variations of it. I also like to find a card template to follow. This one can be used in so many different ways, many occasions, with just stamping or designer paper. The idea is to use blocks of paper as a focal point on you card with the greeting as a middle block. Check those 2 cards - they are using absolutely same template.
Designer Paper:

 Stamped blocks:

Here is measurements:

• Card base - 4 1/4 x 11 ( I used whisper white) 
• Colored mat - 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 (crushed curry in samples) 
• Color Blocks - they are all 3 1/2 wide. Top piece 2 x 3 1/2, middle - 1 x 3 1/2 (for greetings), bottom - 1 1/4 x 3 1/2. 

Stamp greetings in the middle. If you use designer paper for 2 other blocks - just adhere your blocks to the colored mat, wrap a ribbon and add to card front with dimensinals. If you are stamping - put all pieces on top of each other (top, sentiment, bottom) and stamp over desired images. Adhere to the colored mat in the same order you had it. Add ribbon and adhere to card front.
Use your Designer paper for quick set of cards.
I could not stop and created in many colors. Here is Lemon Lime Twist:

Berry Burst:

 Wisteria Wonder:

Super quick set of cards. Give it a try:

Christmas in July Blog Hop

Hello, my stamping friend.
Thank you for stopping by. Today I am participating in blog hop  - Christmas in July. What is your thought about Christmas in July concept? To be honest I am not sure... Part of me is asking - Christmas in the middle of summer? ( in very skeptical voice). Another part saying - "you know when school starts, everything going too fast and you will not have much time for Christmas projects". With those 2 sides of me talking - I decided to give it a try. I put aside my daisy punch and startrd thinking. Hmm, where to start? I wanted to use brand new stamp - Carols of Christmas that I preordred (it will be available online starting August 1st). I quickly discovered that I do not have any holiday designer paper or any other accessories. So I pulled my stack of paper to see what will work. Eastern Palace was the only one I thought might work for me. I also decided to use new In-Colors, as I just can not get enough of them and did not want to use traditional color combo.
Here is what i came up with. Cards 1 - Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide and Gold:

I added new gold ribbon, gold stickers from Eastern Palace Suite. For centers of the flowers I used green glue and sprinkle it with gold glitter, let it dry - and you have nice flowers:)

 Card 2 - Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Gold:

Same template, but gold designer paper is the main gold there. I also used Lemon Lime Twist ribbon.
What do you think? Which one you like more? This card for sure can be created in traditional color combination. a lot of possibilities for sure.

Leave me a comment for a chance to win a prize (and to let me know if you like my attempt).

Continue the Hop for more Christmas Ideas:
I am back to my daisy punch, haha:)
