Simon Says Stamp Lucky Flowers

Hello, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a card featuring the Lots of Luck stamp set from Simon’s latest release, Splendor. Let’s not delay, and get to the details!

This set is a layering stamp set, so I decided on some colors for the flowers and the grass before getting started. I began by stamping the first layer of the grass with SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Sprout, and the second layer with Field onto Neenah 110lb cardstock. As a note, you want to start out with your lightest color first. For the flowers, I used Bubblegum, Carnation, Sweets and Taffy. Once the stamping was completed, I used the coordinating dies to trim everything out.

I settled on the Just Because sentiment from this set, and stamped that using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and heat set that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I did repeat those steps to get a smoother finish on the sentiment, and then die cut that as well. For a stacked sentiment, I did two additional die cuts, and adhered all of those together using liquid glue.

For the background, I used the SSS Detail Ringlet Plate and cut a panel of that, and I also used the SSS Stitched Rectangles to cut a frame. I did end up splattering the panel with some Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry Spray for some added interest. The frame is slightly smaller than an A2 card, so I trimmed down the Ringlet panel to fit behind the frame and glued those together. I played around with the placement of the flowers and grass and decided that I needed some additional leaves, so I used the SSS Etched Meadow Flower and Leaves set and cut two sets of the leaves. Those, of course, had to have some ink blending, so I used the same ink colors so that everything would match.

Now that I have all of the elements, it’s time to assemble the card. I tucked the grass inside the frame so that it overlapped the sides of the frame slightly, and glued just the bottom in place. I then glued the leaves in place, with those hanging over the frame as well. The flowers and sentiment were then glued in place and the entire panel was adhered to the card base with foam tape. To finish up, I added some clear drops for a little shine.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space. Don’t forget to check out the entire Splendor release, as it’s a fun one! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
