PinkFresh Studio Folk Art Birds Congrats

Hey there Crafty Friend! Woohoo for Friday, right?!? I hate to admit, but I have a huge bin of products that I just haven’t gotten around to using yet. Do you have a bin or pile that you haven’t gotten around to yet? So for this project, I pulled out some of the PinkFresh products in there and got to work!

To begin this project, I hot foiled the PFS Folk Art Birds using Spellbinders Champagne foil on Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock, and then did some ink blending using the coordinating stencils and PFS inks Mint, Raspberry Bliss and Sparkling Rose. Then, I used the coordinating PFS Folk Art Birds die, and ran it through my die cutting machine.

I also ran a panel of Neenah 110lb through the die cutting machine using the PFS Stitches Background, because I wanted some interest and that subtle hint of texture behind my birds. I placed foam tape on the back of all of the Folk Art Bird pieces and adhered those to my stitched panel. I used the PFS Leafy Branch Die to cut one piece from gold cardstock and trimmed that into pieces so that I could tuck them around the leaves from the foiled pieces with glue.

I foiled the PFS Perfect Sentiments Foil Plate using the same Champagne foil and cut those out using the coordinating die. I cut the sentiments two more times from Neenah 110lb so that I could glue those to the corresponding sentiments for dimension. I chose the Congrats sentiment from this set, because this card kinda seems wedding-ish, and glued that directly atop the Folk Art Bird pieces.

To finish up, I adhered the panel to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb cardstock. I debated on whether to add jewels, but decided against it since there was so much shine as it was. I hope you enjoyed this project, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty!

Have a wonderful weekend and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Spellbinders Heartfelt Thanks from the Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection

Hello Crafters and welcome back! I was super excited when asked to play with products from the Spellbinders Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken! What a beautiful collection this is! Today’s project is featuring the Heartfelt Thanks Vignette, so let’s get into the project!

To begin, I cut all of the die elements from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb cardstock. I also cut the backing die for the sentiment panel once from black cardstock. I adhered the Heartfelt Thanks panel to that black panel using Craft Tacky Glue. I took the trimmed oval insert portion and used the Flower Pattern Glimmer Hot Foil plate to add Sky Bright foil for some added interest.

I adhered all of the oval sections together using a combination of glue and foam tape. I used the Hemstitch Rectangles to cut a panel of black cardstock, and adhered that to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb. I then glued the oval panels atop that. For more added interest, I used the Mini Blooms and Sprigs Die set to cut some matching blue flowers, yellow centers and green leaves and adhered those to the card using glue and foam tape as well.

Super simple card today! Die cutting is my jam, and I love solely die cut cards! I hope you enjoyed this project and I hope it inspires you to get crafty! What’s your favorite technique on cards? I’d love to know in the comments! Hop over and check out the entire Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection from Spellbinders!

Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit Inspiration

Hello Crafty Friends!  How’s your week going?  So far, mine is going pretty well.  I just received my SSS July Card Kit in the mail the other day and had to jump right in to make a card because it’s such a beautiful kit!

For today’s project, I’m going with less is more!  Sometimes you just need a super quick card, and that’s exactly what this card is!  I began this project by cutting a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock, placing it in the SSS Blossom Field embossing folder and running it through my die cutting machine.  I then trimmed it down to 4 x 5.25”.  This is my preferred size, because I almost always will mat my panels on black cardstock.

I chose a piece of patterned paper from the Paper Rose Forever set that’s included in the kit, trimmed a strip that measures 3/4” and glued it to my embossed panel using Craft Tacky Glue.  I then cut the included Big Scripty Hugs sentiment once from Neenah 110lb, once from SSS Holographic cardstock, and I cut the shadow twice from black cardstock, adhering all of those together using the same glue.

I adhered the hugs sentiment atop the patterned paper strip using foam tape, and then adhered my panel to some black cardstock.  Those were then adhered to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb.

To finish this project, I added some Soft Snowball Pearls from Little Things From Lucy’s Cards.  Super simple and quick project today!  That’s the wonderful thing about embossing folders, they provide a nice background or focal point, depending on what you’re going for, with minimal effort!

I hope you enjoyed this project, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty .. and to possibly drag out some of your long forgotten embossing folders!

Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Spellbinders Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes

Hey Friends! So glad you stopped by today! I was super excited to play with products from the new Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken from Spellbinders! Have you checked it out yet? For today’s project, I’m playing with the Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments Stamp set! Let’s get into it!

To begin this project, I cut two pieces of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and foiled the Spellbinders Glimmering Peony Hot Foil Plate using Champagne Foil. Champagne is my go-to color for foil! I just ordered a bunch of new to me colors, so I may find a new favorite in those, but who knows! While I already had the Glimmer machine going, I went ahead and foiled the Skinny Stripe Background using the same foil on another panel of Neenah 110. Anyhoo, I went to town coloring the foiled peonies using Copic Markers Y00, Y08, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, YG11, YG13 and YG17.

Once those were colored, I fussy cut them and placed foam tape on the back of both. I took the Skinny Stripe panel, trimmed it down and popped it in the Misti and stamped my sentiment from the Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments, using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I removed the backing from the foam tape on the flowers and adhered those to my striped panel and trimmed off the excess.

I adhered the striped panel to a black cardstock panel for some contrast and then adhered those to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb. I decided to foil another peony and fussy cut that to adhere on the inside of the card where I stamped the other sentiment using the same VersaFine ink. To finish up the card, I added some PinkFresh Studio Jewels for some bling.

That does it for this card! I hope you like it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Hop over and check out the entire Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection! Lots of fun things to look at!

Stay awesome my crafty friend!

Waffle Flower Thinking of You Stitched Flower

Hello Crafty Friends! How’s it going? How’s your weekend going? Today, I’m participating in an IG Hop with some awesome friends to show support for our friend Andy Granick. He’s been going through, and is still going through some rough stuff, and we just wanted to let him know that he is loved!

For today’s project, I’m once again featuring the Waffle Flower Stitched Flower Panel Die. A few days ago, I did a post using the white frame portion and other colored cardstock pieces from this die. Well today, I’m using the white stitched flowers that were the by-product of using the white frame on the other cards!

To begin, I used the PinkFresh Studio Diagonal Stitched Rectangles to cut a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock. I took a leftover colored frame from the previous set of cards and trimmed it down to 4.0 x 5.25″ and taped it to a separate white panel using masking tape. I then used a tape runner with removable tape to put a little strip in all the flower openings, and affixed the flowers atop that.

Once the flowers were nestled in the frame, I used Distress Oxide inks Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Broken China and Seedless Preserves to ink blend them. I then removed the flowers and placed foam tape on the back of them. I used another frame as a guide for flower placement and taped it to the Diagonal Stitched panel (using masking tape) and nestled the ink blended flowers atop that. Once that was done, I removed the frame that I was using as a guide, and there you have beautifully placed flowers!

I chose a Thinking of You sentiment, which is from the Spellbinders Everyday Sentiments II, and hot foiled it using Champagne foil and glued that to my panel using Craft Tacky Glue. I attached that panel to a black cardstock panel using 3M Foam Tape for added dimension, and then adhered that to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb. To finish up this card, I used PinkFresh Studio Jewel Mix to add a bunch of bling in rainbow colors as well.

That does it for this card! By using all of the white Stitched Flowers from my previous projects, this allowed me to make seventeen more cards!! For a little bit of effort, I’ve been able to make thirty-four cards using all the pieces! I hope you enjoyed this project! I certainly enjoyed making it, especially for my friend Andy! Check out his Instagram for lots of crafty inspiration, and stop by my Instagram to check out the hop!

Don’t forget to stay awesome friends!

Waffle Flower Stitched Flower Panel Trio

Hello Friends, and welcome back! How’s your week going? Today I’m sharing a trio of cards that I created using the Waffle Flower Stitched Flower Panel Die. I’m really having fun with it, because I used different colored cardstock which has given me the ability to make lots of cards. So, let’s get into the project.

I began the project by cutting the panel die once from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock. I then used seventeen different colors of Sizzix cardstock and cut the panel die from ALL of those. Yes, that was quite tedious, but in the end, it has given me enough stitched flowers to make seventeen cards, right!?!? Actually, it has given me the ability to make even more because I had to cut a white panel for each card, so the white stitched flowers are being used to make seventeen other cards that I’ll share in a few days!!

Anyhoo, so once everything was cut, I flipped the white panel over, so the back is facing up, and I inlaid the stitched flowers, face down in rainbow order (for most of them), and applied foam tape in big strips across the back of the whole panel. By doing it in large strips, it was much faster and it holds all of the flowers in place. I removed the foam tape backing and adhered the whole panel to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb.

Now, it’s just a matter of choosing sentiments! For this trio, I chose to use the Oversized Hugs Die from Waffle Flower, Happy Birthday from PinkFresh Studio Perfect Sentiments, and Happy Everything from Simon Says Stamp. All of the sentiments were cut several times and adhered together using Craft Tacky Glue. To dress up one of the cards, I also used PinkFresh Studio Jewels Mix to add some bling. This is just three cards, I still have fourteen more that are assembled, I just need to put sentiments on those and they’ll be ready to go.

That does it for this trio of cards! I hope you enjoyed this project and that it inspires you to get crafty! Making cards like this is a bit tedious, I won’t lie about that, but I love the impact that you get from all of the rainbow colors! And .. I love that I now have seventeen cards added to my stash, with more on the way using all of the white stitched flowers from the frames used on these cards!

Stay awesome friends!

Simon Says Stamp Here for You Leaf Bundle

Welp, the new Rainbows release from Simon Says Stamp is pretty awesome! Have you checked it out yet? What were your favorite items? I always love their background stamps and there were some really cool ones in this release. So for today’s project, I’m featuring the Leaf Bundle Embossing Folder. There were some really gorgeous folders in this release too!

To begin this project, I cut a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and placed it inside the folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. I used the PinkFresh Studio Stitched Rectangles to trim it out. I then cut another panel of Neenah 110lb and placed it in my Misti and stamped the SSS Friendship Text Background using PinkFresh Studio Misty Coast Ink. I used the same set of stitched rectangles to trim this panel as well. Once trimmed, I lightly ink blended the corners using Distress Oxide Broken China.

I adhered my embossed panel to the text panel using 3M Foam Tape, and adhered those to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb. I found a SSS Reverse Sympathy Sentiment Strip, and glued that directly to the embossed panel using Craft Tacky Glue.

Super simple card today! I don’t know about you, but some days I just need simple! Sometimes I spend so much time overthinking designs, and simple is good from time to time. Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you’ll check out the entire Rainbows release. Lots of fun things in this release!

Stay awesome friends! 💖

Simon Says Stamp Miss You Fading Hearts

I’ve seriously had so much fun with the new Fading Hearts Stencil from the newest Rainbows release by Simon Says Stamp! This stencil has sparked a new love for stencils for me! The ink blending! The gels! The pastes! Oh my, so many awesome things to do with them! But .. for today’s project, I tried a little something different! Let’s take a look!

I’m loving this stencil so much, but I wanted to mix it up a bit and use it in an unexpected way! To begin my project, I pulled out a sheet of watercolor paper and taped it to my board using masking tape. My board happens to be a cheap clipboard from Target. But hey, it works like a charm! I also pulled out some rainbow colors from my set of Karin Brushmarkers. I started by saturating my watercolor panel with water and dropping in color using the markers. I moved the color around with my brush to get it just the way that I wanted it.

I set that panel aside to dry while I worked on the hearts. I began this portion of the project by adhering the stencil to a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock using masking tape. I then used a palette knife to spread Picket Fence Studios Snowdrop Paper Glaze over the stencil. That also had to be set aside to dry. Don’t forget to wash your stencil and tools right away, so as not to ruin them. Once the watercolor panel was dry, I splattered it with some Royal Talens Amsterdam Titanium White Acrylic Ink. I love this ink because it’s the perfect consistency for splattering and it stays a nice bright white.

Now that the Paper Glaze panel was dry, I placed it in the Misti and proceeded to stamp the SSS Crackle Background over the glazed hearts using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I did run my heat tool over the stamped crackle just to heat set it so that it wouldn’t smear. Then … I fussy cut all of the hearts! Well, some were too tiny to cut, but I cut all the ones that I could, and put 3M Foam Tape on the back of them.

I used the PinkFresh Studio Stitched Rectangles Die to cut a frame and adhered that to my watercolor panel using foam tape as well. I then placed all of the hearts atop the watercolor panel along with the SSS Reverse Sentiment Strip Miss You So. This was then adhered to my card base, which is Neenah 110lb.

That finishes this project, and I love how it turned out! I love the idea of using your stencils in a different way by cutting the design out. It’s so unexpected! Anyhoo, I hope you enjoyed this project, and I hope it sparks some inspiration in you to look at your stencils in a new way! Don’t forget to check out the entire new Rainbows release from Simon Says Stamp!

Stay awesome friends!

Simon Says Stamp 3D Happy Everything

Hello Friends! Hope you’re having a fabulous day! Thanks for joining me today for this 3D card featuring the new 3D Card Die from the latest Rainbows release from Simon Says Stamp! These cards are just too dang cute! I’ve had so much fun making 3D cards using this die! So let’s take a look at the card!

To begin this project, I die cut two sheets of patterned paper from the PinkFresh Studio Celebrate Collection using this new 3D Card Die from Simon Says Stamp. These two cut papers will make the box base for your card. You will also need to cut a piece of cardstock to 2 3/4″ x 5 1/2″. This piece will be the decorated piece that stands up from your box. I chose to use Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock for the cardstock piece. Once this was cut, I used PinkFresh Studio Sky Blue and Fresh Pear inks to apply some light ink blending over the panel. I then added some white splatter using Royal Talens Amsterdam Titanium White Acrylic Ink.

I used the SSS Spring Flowers Stamp set to stamp elements from the set using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed those using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I used Copic Markers RV00, RV10, RV11, RV32, RV34, YG11, YG13, YG17, Y08, Y11, and Y15 to color the flowers and leaves. Once those were colored, I used the coordinating Floral Shapes Die to cut those out.

To assemble the 3D Card, you first need to fold the paper along all of the score lines that the die creates for you. See additional pics below for detailed assembly. You’ll then place 1/8″ Scor-Tape on the four small tabs (two on each panel) and also the smallest fold on the bottom of both panels. The Scor-Tape will be adhered to what will be the outside of your box. Pull the release tape on the bottom of one panel and fold it up so that you can line up the cardstock panel along the bottom edge and nestle it between the two notches. Remove the release tape on the other panel and line up the bottom edge of the panels securing the panel between them. You’ll then remove the release tape on the four tabs and fold those over to adhere them together. For a great detailed video on the card assembly, you can also check out this video from Simon Says Stamp.

Place Scor-Tape on the four tabs and the bottom fold. The tape will be placed on what will be the outside of your box.
Fold up bottom flap and remove the release paper and adhere the cardstock panel as shown. Nestle it between the two top tabs.
Remove the release paper on the bottom fold of the other panel and attach as shown. Remove release paper on the four tabs and adhere those together.
Here is a visual of how the inside should look assembled. The Scor-Tape on the bottom folds holds the cardstock panel in place.

I adhered the larger pink flower and leaf to the decorated panel using Craft Tacky Glue. I then cut three thin strips of acetate, trimmed them down and folded them into an “L” shape. I adhered the other flowers to the top of the acetate using the same Scor-Tape and adhered the bottom the top of the “box” as shown. I really loved using the acetate because it took the idea of a 3D to a next level!

I chose the SSS Happy Everything sentiment for this card and die cut the outline portion three times from black cardstock and glued those together. I then glued the “happy” to the top of the decorated panel and the “everything” to the front of the 3D card.

That finishes this project for today! Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope this card inspires you to get crafty in your space! Don’t forget to check out the entire Rainbows release from Simon Says Stamp! These 3D cards are super fun, and I hope you’ll give them a try! There’s a fun Instagram Hop going on over there, so stop by and check it out! There are prizes to be won! Who doesn’t love prizes right?!?

Stay awesome my craft friend!

Simon Says Stamp You Shine Fading Hearts

Hello there crafty friends! Hope you are doing well and enjoying your day! I’m seriously enjoying this new Fading Hearts Stencil from the latest SSS release, Rainbows! I’ve had so much fun using my pastes and gels with this one! So, let’s hop right into today’s project!

To begin, I cut a slimline panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and adhered my stencil to it using masking tape. I then got to town ink blending over those hearts using Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves. I think this combination of colors makes a super pretty rainbow! Anyhoo, moving on, I spread some iridescent Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel over my ink blended hearts and set that aside to dry. In hindsight, I should have let those inks dry before applying the gel, but live and learn, ya know!

While that was drying, I worked on my sentiment. I opted for the SSS You Shine die cut, because my hearts are glittery, shiny, sparkly and it just seemed fitting! I die cut the shadow portion of the sentiment three times from black cardstock, and die cut the you portion once from glitter cardstock and adhered all of those together using Craft Tacky Glue.

I glued my sentiment directly to my heart panel, and adhered that to a black panel using double-sided tape. That was then taped to my card, which is also Neenah 110lb, using 3M Foam Tape.

There you have it! A super simple, yet beautiful slimline card! I hope you’ll stop by and check out the entire Rainbows release! Let me know your favorite products in the comments! Have a wonderful day, and don’t forget to stay awesome!
