Hot off my wish list from the new Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book and Catalog are these daisy die cuts and charming corduroy buttons. They pack a big dose of wow in minimal time.
I zipped the Bigz Die called Flower, Daisies #2 through my Big Shot to pop out both the Summer Sun and Bashful Blue Daisies. Easy, yes? Stampin' Up!'s hot, hot, hot corduroy buttons are shown in Pacific Point (I have developed a new friendship with this color) but also are available in Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate chip, Kraft, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Sun. Soft. Pretty.
I have to admit this layout from Our Creative Corner puzzled me for a bit. However, I realized I could keep in line with the design by layering a strip of Pacific Point Textured Card Stock over a layer of the newly released Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series paper. I was overanalyzing it thinking I needed ribbon and more layers. TIP: Less is more.
The sentiment is from Wow Flowers. I inked it up in Pacific Point and stamped on Summer Sun card stock. It's pumped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.
I spruced up my Stampin' Pretty Stamping Zone today using the smallest Thoughts & Prayer Tree (116002, in Chocolate) from Stampin' Up!'s Décor Elements (a budget-friendly line of vinyl wall coverings). The English Major in me couldn't resist the quote from Henry David Thoreau (116076, Chocolate) either.
The process was surprisingly easy (think rub-ons on steroids) and the results rival hand painted. I love the latest additions (and more colors) to the Décor Elements Catalog. It's available for download on my right side bar or email me if you would like me to send you a free copy (US only).
