Making this Daisy Love and Family Card is a snap if you have the Daisy Lane stamp set and the Medium Daisy Punch and a few other supplies. Let’s go make this adorable card. As you can see in the picture above, you can pick any sentiment and it will work with this card!

- Whisper White scrap cut at 3/4″ x 5″ for sentiment

Preparation
Stamp four daisies in crushed curry ink and the Daisy Lane Stamp Set. Punch them out with the Medium Daisy Punch. Once you have them punched out, you need to shape them. With a bone folder and making sure you hold onto the petal, round each petal back. Once you’ve shaped the petals back, the second step to shaping is to bend the petal forward at the center.
After doing this 2-step shaping to all the flower pieces, combine two flowers and adhere them together, offsetting the petals.
Next, stamp two daisies on the scrap of Early Espresso cardstock with Early Espresso Ink. It will be tone on tone, so you’ll barely see it. Punch out the centers of the flowers from these with the 3/8″ circle punch. Adhere these to the centers of the daisies with a mini dimensional adhesive.
As the final step for making the daisies, add Wink Of Stella glitter to the centers and the petals. This will just add an element of bling to the entire project. Wink Of Stella comes in a pen form, so you can just brush it onto a project.
Once you’ve finished with the flowers, stamp the sentiment from the Lovely You Stamp Set onto the scrap of Whisper White. Punch both ends with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. Next, punch one end of the Bumblebee scrap, making sure you have your cardstock fully inserted into the punch. Keep the divot that results from the punching. Now, the easiest way to measure where to punch the other end is to take the divot you just got from punching the first side and place it where you want it on the second side. Make a mark at the straight side of the divot on your mat. Cut your paper on that spot. This way, when you put your mat into the pick a punch, it will cut in the correct spot. Adhere the sentiment layer to the mat layer.
Punch out and shape four leaves from Garden Green cardstock with the leaf punch. When you shape the leaves, make sure you hold onto the leaf and not just to the stem. Holding onto only the stem will result in the leaf being torn from the stem. That isn’t what you want.
Assembly of the Daisy Love and Family Card
This particular mat layer, I cut out with the largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I also textured it by sending it through the embossing machine with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. If you don’t have either of these, you can cut the mat to 3¾ x 5″ and it will work. The next layer is the yellow gingham layer. This I cut with the largest of the So Sentimental scalloped rectangle dies. If you don’t have these, cut your mat to 2¾ x 4″.
Adhere the gingham to the green mat. Place the sentiment toward the bottom of the gingham. Arrange the daisies onto the card and adhere them. Place adhesive onto the stems of the leaves and tuck them under the daisies. Finally, place a few flat back pearl gems on the front of the card to finish off the look.
