Simon Says Stamp Floral Diamond Circles

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m so glad that you stopped by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Diamond Circles
Foil Transfer Cards from Simon’s latest release, Celebrate. Let’s get right in to it!

Main Products:

I began this card by foiling a SSS Diamond Circles Foil Transfer Card using gold foil and the Minc Mini. Once my foiling was done, I trimmed the panel down slightly, and went to work on all of the florals. I pulled a card from The Color Cubes for inspiration, and I loved the oranges and aqua together, so I went with that color palette. The florals that I used were SSS Etched Meadow Flower and Leaves, SSS Etched Magnolia Blossom, SSS Charming Daisy, SSS Sunrise Stem and the SSS Whirl Blossom.

Most of the flowers were cut from Neenah 110lb cardstock, while two of them were cut from orange cardstock. Once those were cut, I did some ink blending using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Cantalope, Melon, Peachy and Sherbet, along with C&9 ink in Grapefruit. The added leaves were cut from aqua and light blue cardstock, while the centers of some of the flowers were cut from gold cardstock. I assembled the flowers with liquid glue and added a gold gem to one of the flowers as well.

The background needed something else in my opinion, so I opted to use the SSS Stitched Squares for this. I ended up using two of the squares and adhered those to the foiled panel using SSS 3D Foam Strips and arranged my flowers and leaves around the left side, tucking in leaves between the flowers for added fullness.

I used the SSS Greetings Trio for the sentiment, and cut the Thanks from gold cardstock, along with two additional cuts and the shadow, adhering all of those together with liquid glue. The sentiment was adhered to the panel using foam strips. The entire panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, and I added some PFS Gold Metallic Pearls to finish up.

That does it for this one! I absolutely love this color combo, and I’m so thrilled with The Color Cubes for those times when I need a little extra color inspiration! Thanks again for joining me, and don’t forget to check out the entire Celebrate release over on Simon’s website. Have a fabulous day and stay awesome, friends!
