Upsy Daisy in Turquoise

I don't know why but lately I have been grabbing the Upsy Daisy stamp set to make my cards. I like it. At first when I got it I really couldn't think of much to do with it and then the wheels started turning and now I think it is one of the most versatile sets there is. It's solid but it can look like a line stamp and it can be used for a bg or the main focal point. What more could a girl want.
So here is another card made with Upsy Daisy and I think this is appropriate for a man. No flowery, ribbony, curly cues or scallops so that's what I'm going to do. Give it to a man. I hope he likes it and I hope you do too.

It's such a simple card so here are the steps.

• First there is the card 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 in Tempting Turquoise (after it's folded)
• Then the Whisper White cs went through the Big Shot riding on top of the Top Note die.
• It came out with that cute little border of embossing around the edge.
  
• Using the stamp-a-ma-jig to place it just so, the daisies were inked in T. Turquoise then using the rock and roll method with taken with Teal.
• The sentiment was stamped in T. Turquoise on a scrap piece of Whisper White then punched out with the Word Window.
  
• I punched some T. Turquoise cs with the Modern Label punch. Then adhered the sentiment with a little turquoise brad and stuck it right on the front of the card with snail glue.

That's it.
I love my new camera. I wanted one that took really good close up shots and I think I got one. This happy birthday looks clear to me. I enjoy looking at close ups so I want to include them here also.
Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place. I hope you take some of these ideas and use them yourself. Stamp away.

Upsy Daisy & Swirls Scribbles

This is the Wednesday Card sketch challenge from SCS. If you don't know about this site you have to check it out. Thousands of samples of cards and other paper craft items are displayed there. Any Stampin' Up set that goes back about 10 years is listed there. All kinds of tutorials, forums, resources, threads to talk about anything, places you can buy or sell stamps, clubs and groups. Well, as you can tell, I am so impressed with that site.

Every day they have a challenge and I have decided to participate in the Wednesday card sketch. You can find the details here on this one. It's SC239 so look for that in the thread if the date has been removed. I got this technique from Julie Buhler. She has a great tutorial on this. Click here for that.

• I started with a yoyo yellow card 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".
• The Lovely Lilac rectangles 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" back the basic black ones 1 1/4" x 3 1/2".
• The image panel started out whisper white 3 3/8" x 2 3/8" and following the tutorial of reverse silhouette I ended up with the Upsy Daisy.
• Which was then added with dimensionals
• I backed that with Yoyo yellow 2 1/2" x3 1/2" and Lovely Lilac 2 7/8" x 3 7/8"
• Then on the right side I added the burst of black squiggles from the sizzlit die scribbles swirls and arranged them in an appropriate pattern.

That's it for this one.
