Fresh as a Daisy

This was a fun card to make. It has a detachable bookmark with it. To make the bookmark, I cut my base card to 14.9 x 26 cm. I used the Take Your Pick tool attachment with the perforating wheel to rule 5 cm off the side. I folded the perforated panel in and folded the card in half. I used the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper to decorate the front. The sending word and birthday wishes are from the Sending Smiles bundle.

Do you like the white embossed border on the front? It is Vellum. It makes a great border as it is a much softer look than it would have been had I used white cardstock. With such a bust front to this card, I felt it needed something more subtle in the background and the vellum worked perfectly.

Inside the card, you can see the bookmark, folded inwards. It is decorated with another piece of DSP from the “Fresh As A Daisy” paper pack.

Here is the inside of the card with the bookmark folded out. You will see the perforations that you can tear or cut along to remove the bookmark from the card.

Dainty Delight card with bookmark

This is a project that we made in class recently using the pretty Dainty Delight DSP. One of the sheets of paper has these floral oval wreaths printed on, which became the base for our card.

Because of the sizing of the wreaths, the card size was slightly shorter and wider than our standard NZ card size. (Perfect for the American card sizing though). So I decided to do a custom made envelope for it. We even put some floral paper inside the flap.

The bookmark is a strip of DSP mounted on some Rich Razzleberry card and with a few flower die cuts added for extra dimension. It will be a pretty gift for someone’s birthday.
