Handmade Daisies By Sandie is proud to announce the safe arrival of

2010-08-15T17:46:00.001+10:00

“Li’l Daisies”

(Shown above – one of the standard turquoise daisies and lime/bubblegum Li’l Daisies)

My NEW range Li’l Daisies.

These little daisies measure a petite 4 cm in diameter (33% smaller than my standard Handmade Daisies) and are presented in a rainbow of desirable scrappy colours, and picked in posies of 8.

These daisies have been created using an EXCLUSIVE custom made daisy tool.

These “posies” or mixed packs, are specially chosen to complement some of the NEW releases from CHA’s Summer 2010 collection.

(Above is the new packaging for my Li’l Daisies. These little bags are very versatile. I have included some sample cards below using the Echo Park Sweet Summertime Li’l Daisies pack and Echo Park Sweet Summertime paper range. The last card has been created using only supplies from my own stash of goodies. Just one little bag – endless ideas)

Below are my mixed packs of “Li’l Daisies” together with some of the new patterned paper ranges (and some oldies too!).

If you are a shop owner and would like to place an order, please send an email (via my profile HERE) and I will forward an Order Form to you.

As soon as you have uploaded my daisies to your site I will add your site to my blog list of retailers.

If you have a personal enquiry you may either purchase from one of the retailers selling my daisies OR ask me personally and I can sell them to you at retail prices.

Of course, my existing popular range of regular size “Handmade Daisies by Sandie” are still in full swing, sold in packs of 4 – details HERE.

Thank you for your ongoing support – it means a lot to me.

How I attach my Handmade Daisies

2009-09-09T08:22:00.005+10:00

(I often like to add a button to the centre of my Daisies, so I use a sharp needle - this needle is quite often used to sew leather - its rather sharp and has a beveled edge and makes it easy to get through to the back of the daisy and also through cardstock/paper.)

(This is a closeup of the "wrong" side of the daisy. Here you can start by threading some cotton/embroidery thread through the back of the daisy and then sew the button on. I then leave a length of thread at the back of the daisy and thread the needle through to the back of my card or layout.)

A few people have asked me how I attach my Handmade Daisies so I thought I'd show you.

It usually depends what I am attaching it to. If it is a card that I am giving away I would make sure it was attached securely. If it was something that I was keeping myself - a layout for instance then I probably wouldn't be as fussy. You can add a dob of glue and apply some pressure until dry - dimensional magic works a treat!!!!!

I must point out at this stage that there is a "wrong" and a "right" side to the daisies.

If you look closely you can see that the "right" side has the petals raised up and on the "wrong" side you can see tiny knots in the middle where I secured the thread when the daisy is complete. I always hide this side to the back of my work.

Hope this helps.

Luv Sandie

Some of my samples using my Handmade Daisies

2008-11-05T13:20:00.007+11:00

"My Fair Daisy" as published in Australian Paper Crafts magazine

Issue No. 68

There are many ways of using my daisies. You can glue them directly onto cardstock, you can sew them onto cardstock - even add buttons, gems whatever you have in your stash. The ideas are endless. They hold their shape really well and the colours really jump off the card or page.

I have had some cards published in For Keeps Creative Paper using my daisies (Sweet cards shown above) and also an OTP Handmade Dress & Hand Bag - as shown above published in Australian Paper Crafts magazine.
