Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back to my blog! I hope you all are doing well and that your summer is off to a great start! The latest Simon release, Sunny Vibes, in live and I’m back today with a card featuring the new Zippy Zinnias Embossing Folder with Cutting Die. Let’s jump right into the details, shall we?
Main Products:
I began this project by embossing a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using the new SSS Zippy Zinnias Embossing Folder. I then embossed another panel and using the included dies to cut out the corresponding flowers. I colored the die cut flowers with a light pink colored pencil, and then decided that some ink blending would be better.
The inks used for the ink blending were SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Bubblegum and Carnation. I also used Sprout on the background for the embossed panel. The centers of the flowers were colored using Copic Markers Y38 and YR27 to achieve the orange and brownish colors. Before adhering the die cut flowers to the panel using SSS 3D Foam Strips, I splattered the panel with some gold acrylic ink for some added interest.
I used the SSS Just a Note 2 for the sentiment and cut that once from gold cardstock and once from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also die cut the shadow twice using the same cardstock, and adhered all of those pieces together using liquid glue. The sentiment was then adhered using foam strips, and the panel was adhered to the card base with foam tape as well for added dimension. To finish up, I added some PFS Gold Metallic Pearls, because every card needs a little bling, in my opinion.
That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get creative in your space! Don’t forget to check out the entire Sunny Vibes release over on Simon’s website!
