The Leaf Studio: Daisy Meadows

Heart Ornament + Easel Card

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's an ornament I made with my ScanNCut + SU! die cut...

And here's another idea...add a handmade flower (mix of die cut flowers from my stash + Daisy Meadows - Scrapbooking Stamp - with coordinating Thin Cuts available - colored with alcohol-based markers)

And I also made an Easel Card, using ScanNCut shapes + Botanical Embossing Folder + Happiness Never Grows Old stamp:

Mixed Media {Mon}: Mess-Free Mixed Media Cards

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

These cards have the Mixed-Media look...but without the mess!

Here's how to make mess-free mixed media cards:

Card #1

#1 I die cut some butterflies (top and bottom ones) from a butterflies patterned paper and stamped on them.

Then, I added them on a die cut panel with foam tape. Sentiment (Daisy Meadows Cardmaking Workshop Kit) was paper pieced on 2 different pp. Dots were done using ColorBox Smooch.

Card #2

#2 Look for patterned papers that already look "mixed media-ish" and use the scraps to make a freestyle collage card.

Sentiment and Bird are from April Stamp of The Month - Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings ($18.95, $5 with a $50 purchase or FREE as a CTMH VIP Customer) and stitches from Stitched Together - Cardmaking stamp set.

Card #3

#3 This is also a printed pp that already have the Mixed Media look...I trimmed a panel for the card front, making sure I got the houses I wanted.

Then, I added a die cut poinsettia + stamping. Flower's center is also done with ColorBox Smooch. Sentiment is from a retired Craft With Heart Cardmaking Kit.

Stick It Down April Guest Designer

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I'm a Guest DT at Stick It Down Challenge Blog today! Check out the post there - click HERE!

Here's the Sketch I was given:

And here's my take:

I used CTMH Daisy Meadows - Scrapbooking Stamp Set, Serenity and Happiness Lives Here Papers. I fussy cut the flowers, but they have coordinating Thin Cuts available. I colored them with alcohol-based markers and some were popped-up with foam tape.

Scrapbook {Sat}: Daisy Meadows Easter Wishes 2-page Layout

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Easter is almost here! I'm sharing a 2-page layout I made using CTMH Daisy Meadows Scrapbooking Workshop Kit:

It comes with all supplies (designer papers + some exclusive ones for this kit, die cuts, sticker sheet, enamel dots + Page Protectors + FREE Cutting Guide) to make 3 two-page Layouts:

All you need is adhesive of your choice and journaling pen!

To get the FREE Cutting Guide, click on it, and download it's in description. There's also a Kit without Page Protector available HERE!

Here's my take...I changed some things, but just a little bit (sorry the colors are off...I took them on different days):

Workshop {Wed}: Daisy Meadow Cardmaking Workshop Kit

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

This is a metal die from CTMH Daisy Meadows Cardmaking Workshop Kit and ever since I saw it, I had this idea...to make it into a...

#1 Box

The arch on top makes for perfect handles! The stamps and flower die cuts come with the Kit. You get 4 of those, so you don't have to run 1 die a bunch of times. I embossed the sides with a floral embossing folder from my stash. You can fill it with small treats!

If you use the die as intended, the gates can open! Here are some project ideas below:

I'll have to make a card of my own soon...

Then, I had to make...

#2 Flower Box Pop- Up Card

I added die cuts from other companies (Spellbinders and Sizzix) + sneak peek of stamps from CTMH April Stamp of the Month - you'll get to see it tomorrow!
