Good Morning! I have a treat for you this weekend….(and the next several while I am away) – I have some team members that are sharing their talent with you! At the end of the post I will share with you some fun facts about the guest designer!
Today’s fun is from Ramsey Alexander, a SUD from Annapolis, Maryland! Ramsey is a super talented stamper loving a clean and classic style of design and I think that you can see her style showing through with this sweet card!
Ramsey does not have a blog but she has a Pinterest Board with her personal work . I know that you will have fun looking at her designs! I was so excited when Ramsey wanted to do a card for the weekend post….please give her some good old fashion blog lovin’ love for sharing her work in the comments!
This bundle, the Daisy Delight has been a super popular choice for us all! To me, I think that there is something super special about the simple shape of this flower and with this bundle…there is a punch and we all know that we love our punches! Let’s face it – it the name DAISY comes up…..I’m in cause’ I love my swine lovin’ Daisy!
You can see in the following pictures that this is a super easy card to makes and the other thing that is for sure…you will be smiling! So clean, so crisp, so classic!
To create this layered look it literally takes seconds…a stamp of the flower…and stamp (2) on the daffodil delight and POP with the punch – stand back and smile!
The sentiment for this card came from the carried over stamp set, Sunshine Sayings…a super popular one from the previous catalog that you will surely find the appropriate sentiment to “fit the bill”
This stamp is chocked filled with great sentiments and ones that you can fit together to make a “custom one” to fit the theme of your card!
The simple BLING to this sweet card is the gold faceted gem in the middle – you all know, I am not a big “glam and glitz” kind of gal but these gems…they get the job done! Great accent Ramsey!
Here you can easily see how this card would brighten anyones day! Ramsey has that characteristic about her….you instantly smile! We share some late night fun as we road tripped it to Richmond earlier this year and WOW – was it fun….so much fun we are going to do it again in November but this time Salt Lake City!
This is what is great about Stampin’ Up! The relationships you develop along the way that in turn develop into friendships! When Ramsey is in the house, there is a FUN TIME in store!
Now here is a picture of my sweet Daisy-Mae…she just LOVES to be scratched on top of her precious head! (It makes her hair stand up and she squeals) While we are gone….Harry is Daisy’s human care giver. Daisy has a thing about men and I knew that Harry would love to have the honor of being the “pig sitter” while we are away.
His job….easy but oh so important…she likes to come inside to the air-conditioning during the day and out at night to do the town….(well hang out with Arnold and the dumb donkey) Harry comes to the house each morning super early to bring his girl in and give her some love! (I am sure that he tells all of his retired friends his important job!!!)
I hope that you will pop back tomorrow to see the stepped up version for this sweet card! How can we go wrong with this amazing and classic bundle – when you think of it….you can clearly see that was no wonder why it sold out on the first day but I am super glad that it is back in stock!
Still no luggage…good thing that we will never see any of these people again….where we are now is soooooo remote, not a bunch to do but “take it all in” – I was teasing John….heck – if someone ever went here and didn’t tell anyone where they were going….you would never be found! The people are so gracious and appreciative – it truly makes you feel so blessed. They live by simplistic values…and are truly honored to make you feel at home!
As promised….here are some fun facts about Ramsey that I thought that you would enjoy! Ramsey plays on an Ice Hockey League….a gal after my own heart in taking a challenge “later in life” and she also sails each week!
This one is great – one weekend Jeanie and I wanted to do something with her and Ramsey said – “shoot…I am going to a miniature convention”….I said WHAT THE HECK????? Yep, she has had a true love and passion for miniature things…houses etc…..(maybe she will leave a comment explaining) – I just thought that was great!
Until tomorrow…..Jeanie will be in the house! Many thanks Ramsey for being a guest designer this weekend…..let’s give her some love!!!!
Good Morning Susan and Ramsey,
First, Susan, I’m so sorry about your luggage not being there yet, that must be frustrating. You and John are troopers! I will say a prayer that it arrives today.
Ramsey, this card is very, very cute. I love the colors and the sentiment is perfect.
Happy Saturday to all.
🙂
Thanks for your prayers. They worked!!!! Ramsey’s card is just the sweetest…. I can’t wait for your weekend fun !!!
Ramsey,your card is a classic. I think this is the first I’ve seen with the “grasses” from the stamp set used as a base and I LOVE it. Susan, may today be the day of the returned luggage! And thanks for orchestrating guest bloggers. What a treat for us all.
Beautiful card Ramsey! I loved your Pinterest board also. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Ramsey, your card is so sweet. It is truly “fresh as a daisy”. Susan so glad you are on your trip. Now you can relax and fill your “joy” bank with great memories.
Beautiful card, Ramsey! I love the clean, simple lines and how you incorporated the grassy stems. It’s a keeper. Love your idea, Susan, having guest bloggers. Hope your luggage arrives soon. Have a fun and interesting day.
Ramsey, your card looks just like a Susan card! Clean, Classic and so Beautiful with all the white space! I love the grass you added~ Thanks for the tidbit about Daisy, Susan! How fun to have all those animals….they make you smile quite a lot, don’t they?
Love this card!!
Great card Ramsey! Looking forward to see how you step it up as it is perfect already!! Susan and John good luck on the luggage. I have had that happen but not while I am in a remote part of the world. Geez!! Gotta say I enjoyed hearing about Daisy-Mae and my first question was do you mean she is in your air conditioned house or is your barn air conditioned? Either way, I was delighted to imagine her little happy squeals!!! She is probably wondering where you are. No one scratches like your mama. ♥️ Stay safe and don’t get lost!!!
Beautiful card, Ramsey! I love the single, fresh daisy with the grasses and the perfect sentiment. Susan, love the idea of guest designers while you are away. I hope your luggage arrives like NOW!! Have a wonderful trip. Take it all in.
Hi Ramsey! What a sweet, fresh & happy card!
Thank you Susan for this amazing opportunity!!! Your pictures make it look so professional! And thanks to all your readers for the comments! Just wait to see what Jeanie comes up with tomorrow!!!! This is such fun! Susan, that luggage has GOT to arrive today!!!! Fingers crossed!!!
Oh! Look at Daisy enjoying life while her own personal care giver while you are away. Love the crisp clean happiness to this card. That silly bunch is on backorder/non-orderable again for awhile. I think everyone on the planet will someday own one. I myself, do not yet have it. As for your luggage. It just arrived in Bora Bora today.
Ramsey.. Love the card.. so simple and clean yet so elegant..
Susan: Hope you luggage catches up with you soon!
Loved the grass too! The whole card is a delight. Thanks for sharing.
Oh Ramsey this is so pretty! The extra green stuff just adds to the fun. If I ever get my bundle, I will be CASEing this. This was such a fun thing for Susan to do for us. This is “simple” that I can do and not want to fussy it up any. Love the envelope too. Well done! I just can’t imagine how Jeanie stepped it up!
What a pretty card ! Gotta get that punch Bundle now that the punch is back !! You did this card up just perfect ,Ramsey ! I am quite impressed that you did not leave the daisy floating ….love the foliage at the bottom !
So glad you filled in for Susan (you are a sweetie )
I left a comment earlier and came back to catch up on everyone and my comment was GONE ! WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID ??? GIGGLE
As I said before I am going to look in on your Pinterest stuff !! FUN !!
Ramsey, as you know I LOVE your card!!! It is already stepped up in my opinion. You have such a clean and classic style that I love. I am going to continue to encourage (aka…bug) you to start a blog and share your unending talent with everyone!
Susan, fingers crossed your luggage arrives! That happened to us in Mexico and I lived in my bathing suit for 3 days!!! Sounds like it’s TIME TO SHOP!!!! Enjoy this trip that you earned through your hard work and dedication! We love and appreciate you!!!!
Sending love for your card, Ramsey. So classic and clean. First I’ve seen use the grass too and it adds so much! Susan, hope your luggage is there by now!
Ramsey, I loved seeing your lovely ? daisy card yesterday! How very sweet of you to help Susan out with her blog entries while she is away. Due to a very busy day Saturday I am just now commenting. I LOVE daisies! My bridesmaids carried them almost 48 years ago☺️ Thanks, again, so much for your card design!
I only had a small peak on Saturday, so I had to stop back and read the entire post on Sunday. Beautiful card and beautiful colors! I will have to visit Ramsey’s Pinterest board. Susan, when I went out to California years ago, I had 2 connection flights and no luggage until the day after arrival 🙁 You would think by now with all of the technology out there, they would figure out a way to guarantee your luggage at your destination!!
Pretty card, Ramsey! I love the cheeriness of it and I like the addition of the other greenery around the flower stem. Nice job!
Love this card Ramsey! So bright, cheerful and cute!
