Upsy Daisy Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Quick and easy card for you today! I have a ton of stuff to get ready for this week. Two classes and only 80% of my holiday decorations are up! Yikes! I can feel the sands of time slipping quickly thru my fingers!

All the pieces of this card were from my "starts" pile…those random pieces from other projects I’ve started. The base is Basic Gray and a layer of Kiwi Kiss cardstock on top. Then I added a scrap piece of the Urban Garden stripe designer paper (wish I could order a ton of this pattern!) I used some 5/8 Baja Breeze stripe ribbon to hide the seam. I inked the flower stamp with Kiwi Kiss and then used a stipple brush to add some Baja Breeze ink to it. Then punched with a scallop circle. I layered it onto two pieces of the Round Tab punched from Baja Breeze for form the circle behind the scallop. I then added two 1/4" circle punches in the upper right and stamped You’re on my mind with Basic Gray ink. Really simple, but I love how it turned out!

A few days ago on Cambria’s Blog, I found an altered notebook. I like it because it also contained a pocket inside for placing smaller loose papers. I thought about using this project in my Upsy Daisy Stamp Camp, but went with the Pizza Box and tags instead, so I never finished it. I had the Riding Hood Red covered notebook sitting on my desk and decided to use the Upsy Daisy flower stamp in the same ink across the bottom of the cardstock. Then I had the stamped flower panel with Riding Hood Red sitting on my desk from another project start. I added the the Pink Pirouette flowers in shadow behind the Riding Hood Red ones, then tied a Basic Gray Taffeta ribbon around it and matted it on Basic Gray. The cover still looked unfinished. I just finished mounting my new hostess set, Punches Three, so I decided to stamp the True Blue Friend in Basic Gray on Whisper White and punch it with the new Scallop Square punch. I added it to the bottom right corner so that when you open the front flap, you can still see the Friend image.

I lined the pocket, the top of the notebook and a strip along the left side with paper from the Bella Rose Designer Paper series. I liked how it turned out! I may make up a few of these for a craft fair I have coming up soon!

We had fun at my Punch Class last night! I love doing these classes, it is so much fun to see their faces and how you can use your punches different ways. I have all kinds of ideas for upcoming punch classes, so I decided to offer this on a monthly basis! If you are in the Columbus area, feel free to join us!

My hubby is wanting me to help with more Honey Do projects…I think he is cleaning the carpet in my Studio today. It isn’t too bad, but you can definitely see where I stand to cut paper and teach classes!
