Simon Says Stamp Evening Blossom Hugs

Hello Crafty Lovelies! Are you ready for DIEcember?! Stamptember and DIEcember are two of my favorite months of the year! Today’s project is featuring the gorgeous new Etched Evening Blossom! Let’s get right into the details.

I began this project by die cutting the SSS Etched Evening Blossom twice from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and did some ink blending using SSS Bubblegum and Fairway ink for one of the flowers, and Distress Oxide Speckled Egg on the other flower.

Next, I used the SSS Chunky A2 Scalloped Rectangles to cut a panel of Neenah 110lb and then used the SSS Detail Petal Plate to add texture to the scalloped panel. I wanted some additional leaves, so I used the PinkFresh Studio Leafy Branch for those.

I added some Soft Snowball Mix Pearls to the centers of the flowers for some added detail, and I love how they look! I glued the flowers to the panel, offsetting them slightly so that both flowers were visible. I tucked the leaves from the Leafy Branch under the leaves of the flowers and secured those with glue as well.

The SSS Sentiment Strip was adhered to the panel using foam tape, and the whole panel was then then adhered to the card base, which is Neenah 110lb, using foam tape as well.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty! Don’t forget to stop by and check out the entire DIEcember release, it’s magnificent! Have a wonderful day and stay awesome!
