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!

Simple for Sunday - Rooted in Nature Gatefold Card

 

Love this large and bold greeting in the Rooted in Nature stamp set... not only does it say what we need to say... but it is big and bold enough that everything around it can be left simple...

So an A6 Gatefold Card... Copper embossed greeting... Crumb Cake stamped tree trunk "slice"on the stamped circle... Grapefruit Grove and Soft Suede leaves on the Nature's Poem papers and around the stamped circle... Soft Suede scalloped circle... finished off with doubled Crumb Cake Natures Twine

Circles all care of the Layering Circles dies... where would we be without these! 

This is a card we made at last month's Monthly Training... so thank you Julie... and click here to see a few other variants using other Nature's Poem  paper patterns on Julie's blog... and the inside (as I forgot to open it up and take a photo of the inside!)

e-Moji Egg Carton

The last of the mini egg cartons! But a mini-series that we could have collectively have played along for hours with!!

So here is my trio of e-Moji mini egg cartons to wish you a very Happy Easter Sunday...

First up... LOL eMoji... also known as Laughing With Tears e-Moji,  Laughing eMoji, Laughing Crying eMoji, Happy Tears eMoji, Laughing Tears eMoji

Next up... Heart Eyes eMoji to send to your loved ones!

And last but not least Smiling eMoji...

Too much fun! And treat holders that have gone down REALLY well this Easter... even with the Teens...  laughs all round...!

And a few how to tips...

For Heart Eyes eMoji... 

Die cut or punch 2 Real Red hearts (mine were from the retired Hearts Framelits collection as I don't have the Sweet & Sassy ones...)

Then punch a Duet Banner shape in Basic Black... and trim by hand as shown below!

For LOL eMoji... sorry about the wrong way round photo...but I am sure you will get the idea!

For the eyes... Punch a 1/2" circle through the side of some Basic Black cardstock... then punch around it to form curves... times 4... then trim off 2 for the eyebrows...

The teardrops are care of the Swirly Bird stamp (though I could have used the small/double petals in the Festive Flower Builder punch - reduced in the Retiring List while supplies last )

And the mouth was half a Basic Black die-cut Layering Oval with another Duet Banner punch hand-trimmed banner in Whisper White... 

And finally for Smiling eMoji...

For the mouth... Half a die cut Basic Black die cut Layering Circle with another Duet Banner punch hand-trimmed banner in Whisper White

And for the eyes... 1/2" punched circle on the edge of the cardstock with the smallest Layering Oval die cut around it... finished off with a small trim at the edges...

Affectionately Yours Small Square Double Z Fold Panel Card

Another one of these cards using different colourways of the Affectionately Yours papers... 

But with an even simpler Mint Macaron Pansy Punch flower finish!  Just decorated with a copper embossed Love & Affection flower centre and a larger Layering Circles die cut scallop/circle panel.

Greeting care of the One Big Meaning stamp set

Apologies again for the short post ... but Jon's hospital visit took up rather a lot of today! He is back in a pot and on crutches... and will now be at home for at least the next month... so my August is about to be re-planned!

And don't forget to come back tomorrow for the Monthly Jems Blog Hop... you will be in for a treat (or two!!)

Affectionately Yours Small Square Double Z Panel Card

A smaller version of yesterday's card... along with stamped and punched flowers this time... care of Petite Petals stamp/punch and Flower Shop/Pansy Punch...

Small Square Double Z Panel Card this time...  for which the 2-cards-at-a-time tutorial is here... but if you are just making the one card... you just start off with a 13 x 21cm piece of card instead of the A4...

Layering Circle dies for the front panel this time
