Daily Designs and Daily Designs Sentiments Day 5

Can you believe it's day 5 already?  I am really looking forward to seeing you all in the forums for the release party :) Nothing like good fast paced chatter and stamp set reveals to get one's heart pumping with excitment.  One of my favourite things about having a release is joining the forums and hearing about all the things you plan to purchase for the month. I know my own cart fills up with stamps, ink, paper and ribbon too.  And believe it or not you also have an influence over what I buy too LOL (especially after I see your beautiful creations).  Speaking of creations, if you plan to add Daily Designs and Daily Designs sentiments to your cart and then create something with them PLEASE send me a link.  I just love seeing your take on the sets.

Onto today's cards.  First up is for the princess in your life--and it doesn't have to simply be for the 6 year old, in fact I know a 29 year old princess too...and hey even I like to think I can sport the tiara from time to time.  My daughter is slowly transitioning from pink to purple so I thought I'd give the pink one last chance and created a pink number to share with you.

I began by stamping the scallop ring in true black.  Next I stamped the tiara in sweet blush.  I ended up double stamping the image to make it a little brighter.  Then I stamped the "sweet lil' princess" sentiment in raspberry frizz.  As a final touch to my circle I coloured it with my copic marker, added rhinestones for bling and punched it out using the circle nestabilities by Spellbinders.  You'll notice I also punched out a labels die cut and adhered the circle on with pop dots.  I layered my cardstock with October Afternoon patterned paper and added a big focal bow using the saddle stitch ribbon.
It's a simple card that speaks volumes.  I know my lil' princess will love it!

The second card is a simple thank you card.  I can't honestly have enough thank you cards...it seems I am always sending them out.  As a result I like to make a simple card so that it is mass produced.  I began by stamping my scallop circle in pure black and my "thanks" sentiment in pure black.  Then I outlined the "thanks" and coloured the inner circle with my copic markers.  Next I created two layers of patterned paper and cut a strip of ribbon.  Now keep in mind, if you plan to send out your card you could always 1) keep the ribbon flat or 2) replace the ribbon with a punched out border or strip of thin cardstock.  Each of those options provide a nice alternative to ribbon which can be bulky for mailout.  Personally I LOVE ribbon so it's hard for me to skip it.

My final card might seem out of place during this "winter" season but then again, it's never too early to prepare for the future. I began by stamping my "x"/stitch circle using spring moss.  Then I stamped my pumpkin in orange zest and wiped off the stem and leaf with a baby wipe.  I coloured those my tombo marker.  Next I added my "harvest" sentiment using dark chocolate ink. Then I punched the circle image using the scallop square nestabilities.  I adhered it to a piece of scrap patterned paper, added a strip border and tied ribbon around it. As a final step, I stamped the base of the card using an image from Beyond Basic Borders using spring moss and adhered the focal image.
