Daisy Squidgy

By Nancee56

It has been a few days since I have shared a card.  It is getting close to my busy “birthday” season for my family…June, July, and August are BIG months for birthdays.  I was asked to make four cards recently for a fundraiser for the mother of a friend who is battling cancer.  This is the first of the four cards I made for the silent auction.

Daisy Squidgy by Stamping Bella is a cutie.  She can be used for so many different cards.  I choose to make a birthday card using her.

I used my Copics to color her and have listed the colors I used at the bottom of this post.

I used the matching die to cut her out and also cut some fun foam using the same die so that I could pop her up.  I added some glossy accents to the center of the flower to give it some shine.

I used a simple oval to cut some patterned paper, and then a simple rectangle out of some other paper I had on had.  I mounted them on a piece of light blue card stock.

I cut out the Happy Birthday using a die from Simon Says Stamp.  Before I cut it out, I added some double sided tape to the back of my card stock to make it easier to attach to the front of my card.  I then ran the card stock through my Big Shot to cut out the Happy Birthday.  I left the cut out words in the die, and using my embossing pad, ran it through my Big Shot to adhere it to the card stock.  Once I did that, I simply removed the die and the cut out Happy Birthday was adhered to the front of my card.  This was something I had seen Pam Sparks do many times and it looked so easy!  And it was easy!

To finish my card, I added some Dazzling Blue Nuvo Crystal Drops.

      Thanks! Most of the stamps I have are from Stamping Bella. They have such cute images! They have several different lines of stamps too! I have lately been looking and buying more digi stamps. They are less expensive and so much easier to store. Unfortunately Stamping Bella doesn’t have any of these cuties in digi version. 😀
