Daisies #2 Bookmark Card

This card is a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) of an original design by Mary Fish which you can see here. I love Mary's card with its multiple layers of flower petals and decorative center. The In Color Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon is a fun accent. Mary finishes the look with a lovely lined envelope.

I'd been wanting to make a Bookmark Card which I found under the Resources section of SCS. I thought Mary's design would be perfect for the cardfront.

As you can see, I made my Bookmark Cards in a variety of colors: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point - all accented with Basic Black & Whisper White. I added a layer of matching Prints Designer Series Paper to the cardfronts and two Basic Black leaves for more drama.

The card is a tri-fold. The right fold is scored using the Perforating Tool of the Cutter Kit so you can just rip and tear away the bookmark portion of the card! It is a perfect "gift" in a card.

I decorated the bookmark and inside the card to compliment the design of the cardfront. I used the Big Shot and the Stampin' Up! Birds & Blooms Sizzlits 4-Pack to make the flowers. I used the Crop-A-Dile to set a Jumbo Eyelet at the top of the bookmark and tied ribbons through the Jumbo Eyelet leaving a generous portion of ribbon

tied at the top.

Diva Inspiration Challenge

I couldn't wait to prepare for this week's challenge. When I saw the daisies in the challenge picture, I knew I would try out the Flower, Daisies #2 Sizzix die and Swirly Sizzlits Decorative Strip die with my Big Shot. I saw this card on Andrea Walford's blog sometime ago and always wanted to make it. It is so clever the way Andrea used the Swirly die for the flower stems and leaves. As you can see, this week's challenge inspired me to give it a try; and, I love the results.

For my version of this design, I used Rich Razzleberry Designer Series Paper to make the daisies. There are two layers of petals on each flower. I slightly offset the petals to fill the flower in; give it more texture and dimension. The buttons are from the Playground Designer Buttons collection. You receive 30 buttons to an order-five different designs and four different colors. This is a very fun embellishment for both cards and scrapbooks. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the buttons to the cardstock. They don't budge with a glue dot, so don't fear losing them. I paper-pierced a frame around my flowers using the Paper-Piercer Tool and Mat Pack and finished the card off with a greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes. See below for all the supplies I used for this card.
