More Daffodils

The image of daffodils is by Designed2Delight.    The challenge at Card Ideas is to CASE a card from the design team gallery.  I chose this card by Faith to CASE:

Isn't it beautiful?  I changed the paper, image and used different embossing. The center of the daffodils are printed off a second time, colored, cut out and then popped onto the tops of the flowers.

I Love Daffodils

Yes, I think they are one of my favorite flowers.  This is a beautiful stamp in a set called Sending Sunshine by Theresa Momber. (Gina K design team)

Pippen Polka Dot Birthday

This is Pippen and created by Digital Delights.  As I was making this card, I had a birthday in mind and then forgot to include a birthday greeting. Oh, well, it can go inside.

Clearly Pressed

Not clearly impressed, however.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I am having fun with the new technique of embossing cut outs onto the CS as it is run through the Cuttlebug folder.  I combined this technique with the sketch at Clearly i Stamp and found out I like the technique better as a CAS card.  But this is what I came up with  - so be it.   I used the stamps, Blooming Bouquet,  by Clear Dollar stamps.  There are die cut stencils for it too which would give so much more dimension, but I don't have them yet. Enough talk.  Here is my card:

Howdy Partner

I love the idea of pressing cut images or flowers into the CS as you use the embossing folder.  I saw this idea at OWH http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2011/02/tutorial-embossed-flower-card.html .  Pam gives a great tutorial there.  Check it out.  The digi is by Doodle Pantry.

Apply this Applique

This is the monthly digi by D2D and I love it.  It is going to be so fun to use.  Can think of all kinds of DP's to print on.  I printed this four times in order to get all the papers I wanted for piecing.  The flowers on the tree are from a Cuttlebug die .Can you tell I am anxious for Spring?
