Hot off my wish list from the new Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book and Catalog are these daisy die cuts and charming corduroy buttons. They pack a big dose of wow in minimal time.
I zipped the Bigz Die called Flower, Daisies #2 through my Big Shot to pop out both the Summer Sun and Bashful Blue Daisies. Easy, yes? Stampin' Up!'s hot, hot, hot corduroy buttons are shown in Pacific Point (I have developed a new friendship with this color) but also are available in Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate chip, Kraft, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Sun. Soft. Pretty.
I have to admit this layout from 
I spruced up my Stampin' Pretty Stamping Zone today using the smallest Thoughts & Prayer Tree (116002, in Chocolate) from Stampin' Up!'s D?cor Elements (a budget-friendly line of vinyl wall coverings). The English Major in me couldn't resist the quote from Henry David Thoreau (116076, Chocolate) either.
The process was surprisingly easy (think rub-ons on steroids) and the results rival hand painted. I love the latest additions (and more colors) to the D?cor Elements Catalog. It's available for download on my right side bar or email me if you would like me to send you a free copy (US only).

I ordered this die and getting it on Saturday, can’t wait!
I just love that wall decor element – I think that is the one I’m going to order for myself during Sale-A-Bration. Thanks for posting a pic of it – it really helps give the scale of a bit a bit better. 🙂
Really nice color combo Mary! Great job! Love the flowers and the buttons too!
I am so glad I just ordered that die cut! I love what you did with them. I was also planning on getting that same tree and using it in my new stamp space.
This card is beautiful! I’m sold on the Big Shot! I do have a demonstrator question concerning the Feb 1 promotion… Does the free stamp set on every $50 spent count on one order? For ex. if I place a $300 order for myself to qualify for my sales quota this quarter, can I order 6 items free?
Once again, thanks 🙂 in advance for being so helpful and inspirational!
Hi Michelle: Customers and you will get the choice of one free item from the Sale-a-Bration catalog for every $50 you spend. No limit. Hugs, Mary
aaaaaargh … hope that counts as a POSITIVE comment. this bigz die was on my list, off my list, on my list, off my list. guess i should go with my first instinct, eh? LOVE LOVE LOVE your card. (again, my textured paper remains in the *hoard this* pile). also, thought i could get away with one or two colors of corduroy buttons … what a dreamer!!! sure do love it all, mary. seems that a lot of other gals do also.
blessings, jo ann.

TFS, Mary! My Daisies #2 die arrives Friday and this will be a fun project to CASE and practice with.
Beautiful card and the wall looks amazing!! I hope I can convince my husband to allow some wall decor like that!
Mary – your card is beautiful!!! I love the flowers and the brads too!!! Thank you for playing the OCCC!!!
The wall deco is fab – I love how you added it!!!
I am just loving those colors. I’m pretty monochromatic in my card making and when I see cards like the ones you’ve been putting out I wonder why I never seem to think of the combo’s like you do.
Less really is MORE! I wanted to reach into my computer screen to touch those buttons! They are quickly rising on my wish list. Love the color combo and your take on the sketch!
Your walls look inspiring!
AWWWW! This card is awesome Mary… I didn’t even see the new daisy die cuts! (I’m going to check the SU! catty next.) Lovely colors and the new buttons… ROCK!! I just finished my OCC challenge card tonight and going to post in the AM… I need to go beddy bye now. (I used the SU! Love you Much set, soooo fun!) Smiles and have a super day… Michelle 🙂
Wow, this is beautiful! I swore I didn’t need those corduroy buttons but now after seeing your awesome card, I might just need to order them!
This is a beautiful card!! Great idea to use the daisy die cuts with the new paper too! Love how you’ve added the new tree to your craft room!! Lucky you- we are renting, and I can’t do anything right now permanently with the decor elements, so I am thinking about getting a frame to fit it. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas with your new craft room!
Your card is absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous card Mary, LOVE the beautiful flowers and pretty colors. Thanks for playing along with the OCC!
Hugs, Jennifer 🙂
Gorgeous card! The colors are fabulous and I love the diecut flowers. I’m still waiting for my first order from the new catalog – UPS has rescheduled my delivery (arrrrrgh!)
oh…i love that tree!! beautiful! i can’t wait to have walls that are all mine!! and love those flowers..so fun!!!
Excellent Mary! Both the card and the wall art look wonderful! I can’t wait to get my first order from the new catty.
I think that I shall never see, a wall so lovely with your tree. Outstanding. The buttons just went on my wish list.
Stunning card-I just love those colors together. And those corduroy buttons-perfect! The addition of the tree to your zone is perfect.
Thank you, Mary for sharing!
I had to wipe the drool off of my keyboard… I *heart* those corduroy brads so much!
And I love how the tree looks in your stamp room – looks really nice against the paint color!
TFS!
Cindy
You make me want these buttons even more! They are definately going on my SAB order! Love the colors you used and yes, it’s a “WOW”! My hubby does vinyl signs so we work with this medium all the time. Looks lovely on your wall, love that tree!
Love how bright and happy this card is!
You stinker … you got the pacific point buttons too! What other colors did you indulge in?
Fab, fab, fab!
We forgot to do your DE project on Saturday. I am glad to see you got it up anyway. Looks GREAT!
I so jealous of your stamp space…I need to paint and decorate mine but I am so stuck on colors…I change my mind everyday!! Gorgeous card though!!
OH wow.. Mary… everytime I come here I just let out a big “SIGHHH” so beautiful! Ok I am working in my scrap room and I’m “Trying” to put order in here but I am making more of a mess OH man.. I know there is light at the end of the tunnel but where is the end? I also working on making classes so you can image how much fun my room looks like right now! lol.. But at least I can come visit you here and sigh.. lol.. I love those buttons.. I want them in all the colors! 🙂
Have a wonderful day darling!
Fun card! Great buttons. I bought the same Decor Elements. I can’t wait until it arrives! It looks beautiful in your room.
