Print Shop: Daisy Days stamp + stencil, die, and Fill in the Blank papers

We have TWO new additions to our popular Print Shop series this release! The first one is called Daisy Days. Besides the matching die, this product suite also includes a pack of Fill in the Blank papers, which you can stencil and stamp in the white areas to create the design on colored backgrounds. Perfect for polished-looking card sets!

Print Shop: Garden Goodness stamp + stencil, die, and Layers die

The second Print Shop addition is called Garden Goodness and it’s filled with whimsical garden-y designs. We have a couple of matching dies to go along with it…the Layers die cuts just select blooms and butterflies, allowing you to add dimension to your stenciled panels. The other die cuts the entire design into individual pieces, allowing you to use them for accents, focal points, and bouquet building.

I’ve put together a quick video of the Garden Goodness set showing the stencils in action and also explaining the dies a little more and how they can be used.

Scripty Hello die

Hello! This word die cuts the word “hello” from a pretty script font, and includes a matching shadow die.

Now that we’ve introduced all of today’s new products, it’s time for some projects! First up are some Daisy Days projects. For this first set of cards, I used the Fill in the Blank papers to create a set of cards that was super easy to create.

I used all five colors from the Daisy Days Fill in the Blank paper pack, and added color to the design using the stamps and stencils. On each card, I omitted the daisy stencil step so as to keep the daisies white. The sentiment is done using our new Scripty Hello die along with the “just a note to say” sentiment from the Written in Ribbons set.

I created a matching box for my card using our Stationery Box die. On the flap I stamped a sentiment from our Handmade Labels set and embellished it with some small daisies cut with the Print Shop: Daisy Days die.

My next card again uses the Print Shop: Daisy Days set, this time along with the matching die to create a card with lots of dimension. The individual daisies from the set can be layered over the main daisy bouquet, much like the flowers from our Print Shop: Spring Mix set.

So fun to play with different color combinations with this set! I love the pop of blue berries. I also added a diecut “love” sentiment using our Let’s Have a Word: Love die.

My next project just might have gone a little over board! I was having so much fun just piling on those cute daisies. I stenciled the Print Shop: Daisy Days die with a fun color combo of green, aqua, yellow, and purple. Then I scattered in a few white diecut daisies as well. The sentiment I used here is from our Birthday Blooms set, stamped in black ink for a fun pop against the colorful daisies.

This next card uses the same color combo, but instead of using the large focal point from the set I used the individual daisy dies and clustered them around our new Scripty Hello die. It would be fun to create these in all sorts of color combos!

While the Daisy Days design pretty much covers a full A2 panel, you can definitely use it in other ways to mix it up, like I did on this next card. I started with the full daisy design stenciled onto the large die from the set, but instead of putting it front and center on my card front, I adhered it at an angle towards the bottom of a Crimped Frame diecut. I trimmed off the excess, then turned it 180 degrees and adhered it to the top edge of the diecut. Just a fun way to change it up! The sentiment here was done with the Opposites Attract hot foil and matching die.

Next I have a handful of cards using the new Print Shop: Garden Goodness set. This is such a fun one to create with! For this first card, I stenciled the design onto an A2 panel, then I used the Garden Goodness Layers die to cut the little blooms and butterflies. I sponged the diecut pieces with ink, stamped the details onto them, and popped them up with foam adhesive onto my stenciled panel. I added a “thanks” sentiment using the Written in Ribbons set.

This next pair of cards was inspired by Kelly’s gorgeous black cards from her TGIF post a week or so ago! For these I used the Garden Goodness stamp + stencil along with the large Garden Goodness die. This die offers some fun options!

Since the die cuts the stenciled Garden Goodness panel into separate pieces, you can use them to build boquets, focal points, and accents and arrange them any way you please. For this one I arranged them around our Scripty Hello die, layered over a Nordic Frames background. I added some white splatters for a bit of extra interest.

For the other card in the pair, I diecut the Print Shop: Garden Goodness die from black cardstock, then used the negative to layer over a stamped/stenciled panel. It’s a fun way to make it look like you somehow created this colorful design with a black background. I again added the Scripty Hello die, this time I diecut a few of them and stacked them up to give a little added thickness and dimension to the sentiment.
