Week 14: Daffodil Delight
Daffodil Delight is one of the colours in the Stampin’ Up! Brights collection…….and is a bright, clear, medium yellow. There are several Daffodil Delight products available in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. These include Classic Stampin’ Pad, A4 Cardstock, Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill, Stampin’ Blends, Ruched Ribbon and the 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Brights Assortment.
Daffodil Delight is just one of the many colours used in the colourful Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. This DSP has a rich, bright colour palette and features sweeping brushstrokes and beautifully blended colour gradients.
my card:
My card features the smallest flower image from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. This stamp set is one of Stampin’ Up!’s Distinktive™ range. The light and shade you are able to achieve with just one ink pad colour is fantastic. I do find that Distinctive™ stamps work best when your ink pad is not too juicy.
The floral panel was created by stamping and then stamping again, before re-inking my stamp. I continued until the entire panel was covered in flowers, before using the ‘splatter’ stamp from the Whale Done stamp set and Sahara Sand ink to fill in any areas that were looking a little ‘barren’.
Using the the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder, I created all over texture before adhering the embossed panel to a matt of Daffodil Delight cardstock. The corner feature was made using the lovely filigree die from the Fabulous Florals set of dies and a triangular piece of Whisper White cardstock, the diagonal of which, was cut to follow the lines created by the embossing folder. Hopefully the close up below helps to illustrate this better. 🙂
The sentiment is from my favourite stamp set for greetings, Many Mates and it was diecut using the small banner die from Tasteful Labels and the sprig of ‘greenery’ is from the Forever Flourishing set of dies. The completed panel was then adhered to a standard sized Sahara Sands card base.
I do enjoy creating my own ‘patterned paper’ and I love how an embossing folder adds so much interest and texture to a piece of cardstock.

Thanks Michele.
Wow, such a gorgeous card! It astounds me that we used very similar products to create very similar, but oh-so-different cards. Your card is wonderful.
Wow I love that Diamond Embossing over the beautiful floral blooms it really is stunning.
I love your fabulous card – great colour combo with the gray! Thanks for sharing!!
Stunning card Michele. I had Sahara Sand out on my desk and then didn’t end up using it. It is perfect on your cards. I am very excited about that filigree corner – I just got that bundle in the mail about a week ago and hadn’t even see the dies yet! Yayy!
Oh I love how you have used that filigree die just to peek above the corner sentiment panel. Lots of lovely elements to your card Michele
Oh Michele, you had me wondering where that DSP was from at first until I kept reading your post! It is very cool and I love that your embossed it with Dainty Diamonds.
I love your DIY patterned paper. I don’t own this stamp set but between your creation and Tina’s this week I am easily being swayed.
What a gorgeous design Michelle. I love the texture over the stamping and then the triangle at the corner really draws the eye.
Ooh I like this very much, I love that you have stamped the flowers and then embossed and then the Sahara sand details in the corner. I love it! It is quite strikingly stunning!
Wow Michele, this is a stunning card! There’s so much to love on this card and if you use that many mates stamp set one more time I’m going to have to purchase it! Thank you for spreading some daffodil delight sunshine and inspiring us all with your card.
Oh, Michele, this is beautiful! I love the bloom-filled background, with splatters to fill space. I love that you’ve used the gorgeous Dainty Diamonds embossing folder, and cut the corner piece of your card to fit beautifully along the embossed lines. The die cut details are beautiful touches. *Sigh*!
Lovely card Michele, I love the lace detail
