Tuesday Tip with Daisy Lane punched daisies

 

Just a quickie for you today... 

Want to make smaller daisies than our 2 punched sizes... so you can layer and layer to your heart's content!

Well just bring out your Daisy Lane bundle and Layering Circles dies... and cut like so...

Then a die size smaller... and so on... starting with both the (Large) Daisy Punch or Medium Daisy Punch daisies...

And if you want to add a bit of shape to those ends... then just combine with this tip here... 

Sorry that I could not produce lots of daisies and produce a finished multi layer daisy for you...but I am sure that you can get the idea from this post... that way you know that it can be done if you need to!

2000... and counting....

WOW!  I have just published over 2000 blog posts!! (2003 even)...  In just less than 10 years... with (almost) daily post for the last 5 years! Cripes!

Who knew then that that is what was going to happen! (Try saying that fast!!!) And I still love those Gift Card Holders I made back then... although iPods etc have come on a bit since...

But a very quick share for you today... a Craft Spa mix of Clean & Simple meets Fun Fold... aka Super Simples!

And to celebrate that amazing number of posts... I have a challenge for my long term followers... or indeed anyone...

What is your favourite Craft Spa post... or project... or tutorial... ? Or indeed just anything that springs to your mind today! I would love that feedback from you... as I am beginning to evaluate what and where I go in the future...

Answers in comments... or via the Contact form down the RHS if you are more shy!!. or even by email by clicking here... Thank you!

More information on my daisies for you here... and more information on this Fun Fold variant sometime soon... 

Tuesday Tips - more Punched Daisies!

Told you I had gone a bit mad with the wonderful Daisy Lane and Daisy Punches... but thought I should share these punched variants before I more onto other products...

Amazing how you can make so many different flowers from the one punch (or 2 if you count the different sizes!) Just scroll back (a week or two)if you want to check out some more variants...

This time the white flowers are created by punching out a daisy... and then inserting each petal into the tip of the same punch and punching to nip out the tip... And then repeat...lots of times!

Note that it is much easier to do one punched daisy part at a time - and then assemble -  rather than assemble your daisy and then punch!

A Large Daisy... with a 1/2" stamped & punched centre (as described here)

A Medium Daisy... this next shot having the wonderful Perennial Essence Floral Centre to "best" finish off my daisy!

And you may recognise the card format... as this was actually my prototype for my last Stitched Nested Labels cut-out Dandelion Wishes card... more details on that can be found by clicking here...

More on Monday - Rounding up the Daisy Lane series...

Bringing this series to a close... as I have realised that I have a lot more projects to share with you ...  So for today... a couple more clean & simple Daisy Lane makes with some more creative tips for you....

Firstly the only Large Daisy in this series... onto a standard A6 card (US A2)

Stamp a Gray Granite daisy on white and punch out...
Stamp and punch a Daffodil Delight 1/2" Centre (as detailed in this post)
Punch an aperture in the top white panel

Adhere onto Gray Granite mat
Adhere onto A6 (Tent) card blank
3D foam adhere daisy centre
Greeting from Flourishing Phrases in Gray Granite

And secondly... a simple small square (10.5cm or US 4 1/4") card... again with the Medium Daisy size...

Stamp 2 Gray Granite Medium daisies on white and punch out...
Note that I stamped and punched one of my daisies out of the centre of my white panel just to save some card.. though it is not actually necessary to do it this way! I wouldn't set it out this way for a class... or for bulk making... Although it does actually add some extra definition when used to stick my daisy on... so is a good idea if you would like to save some card!

Stamp and punch a Daffodil Delight 3/8" Centre (as detailed in this post)

Adhere daisies onto white panel
Adhere onto Gray Granite mat. Note that the top daisy is 3D foam adhered for extra depth... though flat adhere if cheaper postage is important to you! As it is more important to 3D foam adhere the centre...

3D foam adhere daisy centre

Adhere onto small square card blank

Greeting from Itty Bitty Greetings in Gray Granite...
Note that I only partially inked the "many thanks" greeting as I wanted an even simpler  - and shorter - look! Use a marker pen on the word you do want (or cover the word you don't want with a sticky note, ink up with pad, remove sticky note... and stamp)

And here you have the Group Shot! Scroll back for the last week or so for all the details on each  project separately...
