Simon Says Stamp Thanks Exotic Blooms

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Simon has a new To Love release, and I’m back today with a project featuring the Exotic Blooms. We all know that I love the florals, so let’s go ahead and get into the details for this one!

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

I began this project by die cutting the Exotic Blooms several times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also cut a few flowers from the Hanging Leaf Ring set as well, and did some light ink blending on all of those flowers using Melon, Cantaloupe, Sherbet and Honey. The leaf portions were ink blended using Sage and Pine. Once I was set on all of the ink blending, I assembled the flowers, and added Opal Dazzling Gems to some of the flowers.

My background was created using the Double Plaid Cover and the Stitched Squares. The cover die was glued to the card base, while the gold square was adhered using foam tape. I began arranging my flowers and leaves and gluing those down as I went. I decided that some gold leaves would be nice to pull the floral arrangement together with the gold square.

The sentiment, which is from the Friendship Leafy Cluster set, was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using Detail White Embossing Powder. The coordinating die was used to trim that out along with two additional cuts for a stacked look. The sentiment was glued directly to the panel to finish up.

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did! As I said earlier, I love florals so this was a fun one for me! Thanks again for joining me and don’t forget to head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire To Love release! Have a wonderful day!

        I’m going to give it a shot. I did not put up a tree this year b/c Dec was gone before I knew it and I figure I will use the time crafting that I would have had to use putting it all away. The mantel and many other spots are decorated and look fabulous, but no tree. I hope YOU have a terrific Xmas, too!
