Hello Daisy
Fall seems to have arrived here in Ontario. Wow…I noticed leaves on the driveway and yesterday it was so cool. Time for jeans and sweaters. I love summer and in a way, I’m sad to see it leave, but I do love Autumn too. The textures, the colors, the crisp air, picking apples, pumpkin pie…ymmmmmm. It is a great time of year too! I’m not much of an orange person but come Fall…I just have to pull it out and have some fun with it. This daisy paper reminded me of this Daisy Dots set by Lizzie Anne Designs. Love it! The warmth of the colors reminded me of fall and of fall flowers so I just had to make a design. I’ve been noticing lots of pots of gorgeous fall mums in the stores. I just have to buy one or two for my porch this time every year.
You may be wondering…isn’t it Sunday? Isn’t there usually a {C’est Bon} feature? Well, yes. But I’m exercising my woman’s prerogative to change her mind. 
Actually…it has been so busy here, I just didn’t have time and so…this week, it will be Monday’s feature. Fair enough?
Daisy Birthday
This design uses this new Fancy Pants True patterned paper as the inspiration to get started. I pulled the Blue Bayou, Old Olive and pumpkin color combo straight from the paper. The layers of paper are just the reverse side of the patterned paper flipped. Don’t you just love double-sided paper? It makes it SO easy!
After sponging the edges and adhering my layers, I added different machine stitches to the card. i love the extra definition and texture this gives. To create the faux ribbon “belt” on the card, I stamped the darling Happy birthday stamp from LAD’s Shapes and Stitches stamp set, trimmed and then threaded it through a piece of Hodgepodge Hardware (stampin Up). The birthday word was just the right size to highlight by lining it up with the center of the hardware. A glue dot was great for adhering that buckle to the card.
For my main flower, I stamped the solid flower stamp onto Kraft cardstock with my Canvas Palette Hybrid ink by Stewart Superior. After I allowed it to dry…VERY quick dry time 
… I stamped the line image of the flower with my Black Palette Hybrid ink from the same company and then cut out my daisy. The center was stamped with happy from the same Daisy Dots set and then punched and matted with my circle punches. I adhered the center on a piece of foam tape to make it pop. To finish it off, I added a darling strip of dotted orange ribbon that I just couldn’t resist picking up from Michael’s.
A few things of note:
- Just in case you missed it…scroll down my blog a little…Belle Bonbons giveaway is underway until Monday night.
- Jacksonbelle now has the new Lizzie Anne Designs stamps in stock! Yay! I’ve ordered a few more that I just HAD to have! LOL
- Never worked with cling stamps before? They are fabulous! Tricia from Lizzie Anne Designs has written a great tutorial about them on Letters from Lizzie.

This is so cute!!! I just LOVE the colors, layout paper, just darling J!
Super Lovely! The colors are just so pretty together and I love the faux belt buckle. Very clever to line the word, “Birthday” up in the center of the buckle. Ida
cute card, J, and I love the little belt and buckle!!
Another cute card. Yup, I agree, leaves are changing so very early. Just got back from Merrickville (near Ottawa) and leaves are good and yellow up there. I was very surprised. Orangeville has colour change as well. Is this a sign of a long and cold winter? Hope not.
This is so pretty! I love the stitching and the daisy, very cute!
Cute and Happy card. Your stitching is always so neat and a wonderful accent! tfs
WOW! Love all of your cards and this card is no different! Great colors I will be playing with later. Thanks for the comments girl- you are a celebrity in my eyes! Have a great day!
I love the card! The orange looks great with the blue.
I love love love Ontario in the fall. I really miss it since I moved away. But having grown up there is still where my heart is.
Beautiful card. You’ve captured that Autumn feeling.
This is so pretty! Its gotten cool here too, although not as cool as where you are, and your card reminds me of the cool, crisp days ahead.
Gorgeous card. I love fall colors.
I love how you did the happy birthday ribbon ish thing! So cute!
Super cute! Love the design and colors!
I love this, the colors are wonderful.
I love this card. That paper matches the flower perfectly!
So pretty! I love all the details. The craft paper with the white ink is great!
Beautiful Julia. Love that paper too.
Sooo nice…. It must be so pretty in Ontario this time of year. My in-laws used to have a summer cabin on Lake Nippissing (sp.?) near North Bay, Ontario. I loved going up there in summer. I live in Florida and would love to have some cool weather.
This is such a “happy” card! I love the color and polka dots. LOVE the faux ribbon you made and threaded through that buckle.
Great fall paper, J! Love the design/layout, the buckle, and (as always) the stitching!
Love this card.

GREAT card Julia! I love this! Fall arrived here in Alberta LAST month…lol…leaves have been on the ground since the middle of August….yuck! Snow isn’t far behind for us…lol
Do you use a certain machine to do your stitching? I’m just wondering because my regular sewing machine doesn’t do that good of a job. Love your work!
Super pretty! I love that paper with the big flower! Of course…all of your sewing looks as awesome as usual!
