Weekender with Wanda – Daisy Valentine!

Hey friends! Happy Saturday! Welcome back to this edition of Weekender with Wanda on the Simon Says Stamp blog! SO happy to have you here with me for a bit of your weekend. Hope your week was outstanding. I live in Northern California and it was a weird week here. It was pouring rain for a few days, and then at the end of the week, our tulips started popping out of the ground and our camellias began blooming! Spring is coming early this year it looks like. The next couple of weeks are all about getting cards and treats ready for Valentine’s Day. Today I’m sharing a Valentine card in some non-traditional colors, using a few of my favorite exclusive products from Simon Says Stamp!

1

I used the pretty Stitched Daisies Dies to make some flowers out of kraft cardstock. My card base is also made from kraft, so it ties the project together. The pretty patterned papers are from Lawn Fawn and Pebbles. This sentiment is from one of my go-to stamp sets called Just a Love Note. This scripty font is so pretty.

For my flower centers I used cream cardstock and then gently inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Then I used the Mini Hearts Dies to add some gingham hearts. You can never go wrong with gingham! For a softer look, I used brown ink to stamp my sentiment and also used cream cardstock instead of bright white.

My flowers were attached with foam squares and then I gently curved them up with my fingers.

To finish off, I tied a twine bow and added a button to the top of my Tag die.

  23. Wanda, love this sweet card. I really like the hearts in the center of the flowers. The color combo is great too! We’re in the middle of a big storm. I live about a mile from the open bay. We’re not flooded but the people who live right by the bay were under a mandatory evacuation last night and it’s all flooded today. The snow is up to my knees and it’s still snowing. It’s supposed to stop tomorrow in the morning. I’m not a winter fan to begin with at all, arrrr! Don’t like the cold or snow, spring can’t come soon enough for me. Its a stark contrast to the picture of the beautiful flower you posted the other day, I’m jealous, lol. Thanks for sharing and inspiring always.
