Simon Says Stamp Floral Birthday Love STAMPtember Blog Party

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m so happy that you joined me for today’s HUGE STAMPtember blog party! Each stop throughout the party has a STAMPtember promotion, so you’ll want to check those out for sure! You can start your party experience here or by heading to Simon’s blog. My project is featuring the new Rustic Layering Flower in aqua tones with a hint of grey. This is such an awesome release, with so many more things coming during the month, so stay tuned for all of the excitement! Let’s go ahead and go through the details for my project!

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by pulling an inspiration card from The Color Cubes, and then I ink blended a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Mist and Raindrop. Those two colors seemed to match the color palette best. Once the ink blending was complete, I cut the Rustic Layering Flower twice from that panel. I do a little more ink blending in the center of the flowers for more depth before assembling the flowers using liquid glue.

Now that I had the flowers, I had to decide on the rest of the card! I opted to go with the Whirl Diamond Plate for my background, and I cut a bunch of leaves from grey cardstock using the Budding Branches. In laying out the card, I decided that I needed one more small flower, so I cut that and assembled it as well.

I splattered my card base using TH Distress Oxide Spray in Hickory Smoke before adhering the background panel. I began adhering the grey leaves in place first using liquid glue, trimming down as necessary. Once I was happy with the leaf placement, I adhered the flowers using foam strips.

For the sentiment, I used the Mix & Match Butterflies set and stamped that using VersaFine Onyx Black and heat set it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I trimmed it out using the coordinating dies, and made two additional cuts for a stacked sentiment. That was then adhered using foam strips as well. To finish up, I added some Surf Dazzling Gems and some silver metallic pearls to the “buds” of the branches.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I always love working with die cut flowers, so this card was totally in my wheelhouse! Don’t forget to head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire STAMPtember release! Thanks again for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

    I absolutely love your blue floral birthday card. Spectacular. When Heidi showed it for inspiration, I thought anyone would love to receive that card. It really spoke to me. Looking forward to seeing more of your works of art.

      Oh my goodness, I didn’t see a message anywhere. I’m so sorry about that, but glad that my post helped. If you have any further questions, just send me a message on here, or over on instagram. My user name is redsas over there. I think you might have started following me over there today, but not entirely sure, as the usernames are slightly different. Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by, and I apologize for not seeing a message. Have a wonderful Monday!

      Thanks so much! To be honest, I went back and forth on whether to add two different kinds of embellishments. That Budding Branch die is my absolute favorite to add embellishments to! It’s almost like it’s begging for embellishments! I hope you’re having a wonderful Monday!

    Loving the subtle contrast of the white on white background die….I’ve not seen that die before. What a calm palette…I love blue flowers anyway, but grey sprigs?? Who know it’d be so effective, and in fact required, in order to attain calm. Thanks for the inspo to think more out of the box.
