Here’s my Sweet Sorbet Cheerful Daisy card:

In the past few months, I’ve really come to love using Sweet Sorbet in my projects. Sadly, this color will be retiring when the 2024 – 2025 Annual Catalog comes out. Never fear though as there will be a new set of In Colors coming out!

Measurements:

The Sweet Sorbet base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches and I used the card in the landscape orientation.
The white cardstock for the front started out at 5-1/2 by 4-1/4 inches. Then, I cropped it using the largest die from the Scalloped Contours die set.
I trimmed the Sweet Sorbet 6 x 6 inch DSP (designer series paper) to fit inside the scalloped die. It measures 4-7/8 x 3-1/4 inches.
Next, I trimmed a piece of Sweet Sorbet DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap. I punched a 1-inch circle from the same DSP. However, I turned it over when I ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal.
I needed to use a 5-1/2 by 4-1/4 inch piece of white cardstock to crop the daisy cluster and the second layer of the flowers.
The white cardstock for the inside of the card measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches.
I used a scrap of Sweet Sorbet for the inside of the card.

What I Did:

Unless otherwise noted, I used liquid glue to adhere elements of the card together.
After cropping the white scalloped contours cardstock, I adhered it to the front of the card base.
Then, I adhered the Sweet Sorbet DSP to the scalloped white cardstock.
Next, I wiped down a piece of scrap Sweet Sorbet cardstock using my embossing buddy.
This gorgeously scripted sentiment in one of the new online exclusive products, and every sentiment is beautiful. Take a closer look at this stamp set:

Stamp the sentiment using VersaMark ink. Cover it with white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Trim the sentiment to the desired width, and trim the ends into a banner.
Crop the daisies from white cardstock and adhere the layers together.
Add dimensionals to the back of the daisies and adhere to the front of the card.
Adhere the sentiment banner using dimensionals.
Finish by adding Sweet Sorbet enamel dots.
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!

I’ve already ordered some of these products and have more on the way. I can’t wait to start playing with them! Take a look at just some of the new products available!

I love the script used for these sentiments. I’ve used the birthday one, and it fits so well on a landscape 5-1/2 by 4-1/4 inch card!

The stamps for these adorable critters are two sided stamps: the outline image is on one side and the animal is on the other. The sample card uses the animal stamp.

Personally, I think this background stamp is gorgeous! Don’t delay in ordering as it just came back in stock. I’ve got an order on its way to me, but this stamp might just be worth paying shipping for just this item.

I had previously ordered the natural polka dot ribbon, and now have the rest of the suite of products on the way. This suite would be suitable to masculine or feminine cards, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
