Sometimes you just want to make a quick and easy card like this Quick and Easy Fresh As a Daisy Card and with this new designer paper, you can surely do that!
I wanted to use this bold daisy pattern in the Fresh As a Daisy Designer Series Paper in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I liked these large, bright white daisies with their golden centers on this paper.
You can choose from many coordinating colors with this paper. I played around with several and decided on Daffodil Delight, which isn’t a coordinating color but I liked the bright yellow for a Monday morning! I could have chosen Crushed Curry or Lemon Lolly to go with the flower centers, or Cajun Craze to match the background of the paper, or any of the greenish blues to match the leaves. Or you could Basic White for a card base! Or you could choose Basic White and then another cardstock color for a layer and then make the designer paper a little smaller to layer on the color cardstock. Or a colored cardstock for the base and white to set off the designer paper! Whatever you are in the mood for when you are creating is fine!
I originally intended to make this a two-tone card using the daisy paper on top and a piece of one of the colors on “the other side” of the daisy paper. But once I had this 5 1/4″ x 4″ paper cut I liked it so much I didn’t want to cover up or lose any of the white daisies.
Before adhering the designer paper to the card, I adhered a piece of the Burlap Ribbon in the Real Red and Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack. I put it on the side, where I haven’t put a ribbon in a long time, so as not to cover up too many daisies. Then I just tied on a short ribbon in a knot.
The greeting is stamped from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White. I tried it on the Daffodil Delight also and decided to use the White but layer it on Daffodil Delight. The label die in the Cheerful Daisies Dies is one of those perfect dies to use over and over again! It’s simple yet has that little stitched look and curved corners. But there is not a layering size die to match so what do you do? I cut out another label in Daffodil Delight, then cut it in half across the middle. Then I could layer those two half pieces under the top half and bottom half of the greeting. If you do it just a tiny bit, it really lines up with the curved corners even though it doesn’t extend out to the sides. No one will notice! It looks fine!

That’s all there is to this card! You could add some jewels or sequins if you wanted to. Or you can leave it as the Quick and Easy Fresh As a Daisy Card!
