One of my favorite new suites in our upcoming catalog is Fresh as a Daisy! The Cheerful Daisies Bundle speaks for itself!
The Stamp Set, Dies and Designer Paper all are a big “yes” for me! Love this suite! Maybe it’s the gardener in me, but it seems like everyone loves daisies!
For this week’s Facebook Live, I made a card featuring the products from this suite – and used one of our new Core Colors- Bubble Bath – it’s going to be a new favorite as well!
I used the Radiating Stitches Dies – an Online exclusive to add some detail to the Bubble Bath panel, and embossed the large white panel with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder. The three daisies and leaves are all cut from the same die – so easy! Additional texture was added by cropping Basic Whtie cardstock with the coordinating flower dies (almost like an overlay) for the three flowers.
Here’s the recording-
And a close up of the flowers – you can see the overlay of Basic White that I added. Love the added detail and texture!

For this week’s Facebook Live, I wanted to show our 2023-2025 In Colors that will be released when our Annual Catalog goes live on May 2. I also wanted to give a look to a new bundle called Circle Sayings. It’s a punch bundle – and we all love our punches! The punch is a 2 3/8″ circle punch.
These cards go together quickly. I made the card with Boho Blue for my Live – and then shared the other four colors that I made ahead of time. The cards show a lot of new products – card stock, ribbon, designer series paper and gems!
You can see how I created these cards by watching the Facebook Live the replay here:

Thick white – 5 ½ x 8 ½, scored at 4 1/4
Boho blue Cardstock – 2” x 5”
DSP: 1 ½: x 5 ½

Here’s a card tutorial for you on this Friday afternoon! I love the Nested Friends bundle. Spring is in full swing where I live and I am sure enjoying all of the birds that are busy making nests and singing in my yard!
If you are interested in this bundle, now would be a great time to purchase it, because once our new Annual Catalog begins on May 2 – it will be headed to the Online Exclusives – which means it won’t be in a catalog.
When it becomes part of our Online Exclusive Collection, the stamp set and dies will be sold separately, not as a bundle, nor at bundled price. You will save 10% if you purchase it before the end of April!

- Use Early Espresso ink to stamp the branch on to the Deckled Rectangle panel, and use the speckle stamp to fill in some of the white space on this panel.
- Use Stampin’ Blends to add color to the bird and the branch.
