Simon Says Stamp Lucky to Have a Friend Like You

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I appreciate you stopping by to check out today’s project featuring a stamp set from Simon Says Stamps’s latest release, Splendor. Have you checked it out yet? I’d love to know your favorites! This project has a sentiment from the Lots of Luck Stamp Set. This set also includes some florals and clovers, but I’m just using a sentiment today. Let’s run through the details.

Lots of stamp sets include florals and such with the sentiments, and this is just a reminder that you can combine components from a set with other things and products, like I did with this card. This is a very simple card, but I love how it turned out! I began this card by cutting a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using the SSS Postage Stamp Edge dies, and splattering it with some gold acrylic ink. I set that aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.

I bought these dried florals at a “big box” craft store, and trimmed them down so that they would fit onto an A2 card panel. These particular flowers are more neutral in color, as you can tell, but I did purchase some more colorful varieties from Amazon that I’ll be using for future projects. I’ll link to those below.

Moving on, I stamped this sentiment from the SSS Lots of Luck stamp set using VersaMark Ink and heat set that using Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder, and trimmed it out with the coordinating die. I did trim it two more times and adhered all of those layers together using liquid glue for a stacked sentiment.

To make the seal, I used gold wax beads and the Spellbinders Wax Seal Kit. I did not use the wax seal stamp included in the system, but one that I had purchased separately. I positioned the dried flowers on my card panel and then poured the melted wax on top and placed the handle on top of that. I then adhered the sentiment atop the wax using SSS 3D Foam Strips, and the panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape. To add a little bit more interest, I added some cream colored Tiny Hearts.

That finishes up this one. Like I said, this is a super simple card, but pretty and unique, all at the same time. While I had the wax system out, I went ahead and made several panels that are ready to go when needed. I hope you enjoyed this card, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space. Don’t forget to check out the entire Splendor release. Have yourself a wonderful day and stay awesome, friend!
