Simon Says Stamp Basket Bunny

Hi Friend! Thanks for stopping by to check out my project featuring the new Basket Bunny from Simon’s latest release, Beautiful Moments. I actually used three new products on this card, so let’s go ahead and run through the details!

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

I began this project by die cutting the bunny and assembling the pieces. I did want a little bit of shading, so I used Shark and Cocoa ink for that. I wanted some flowers in the basket and used the new Country Basket Bouquet for those. I die cut a few of the flowers and centers from pink and yellow cardstock and did some light ink blending on those with Guava ink before assembling them.

I wanted a muted background and stamped the floral from the Pixie Dust set onto a panel using Misty Coast ink. Once satisfied with that, I trimmed it out using the A2 Scalloped Rectangles.

The panel was adhered to the card base and the bunny, basket and sentiment were adhered with foam tape. The pink flowers were secured using liquid glue to finish up.

A clean design for today’s project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you’re enjoying seeing all of the inspiration from the new Beautiful Moments release. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Love You Watercolor Hearts

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Happy Valentine’s Day to you as well! I made several cards for today’s post using some watercolor hearts that I made using various Simon products. Let’s run through the details!

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

I began this project by taping down a large panel of watercolor paper, adding different shades of reds, pinks and an aqua color, which ended up making the purple color. I let the panel dry and used a stencil with various circles to add some white ink. Once those were dry, I outlined them with a Copic Multiliner and did some stamping using a couple of background stamps and VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I was unable to locate one of the stamps that I used, but any text stamp would work just fine. Once I was satisfied with the stamping, I did some gold splatter for added interest.

I pulled several heart die cuts, along with several other design die cuts and cut those. I was unable to find some of the die cuts that I used as well, and I apologize for that, but just use what’s already in your stash. I did edge some of the hearts with a gold leaf pen for some added interest and splattered my card bases and panel with black and gold acrylic inks. Some of the hearts were adhered using foam strips, while some were just glued directly to the panel or card base. The sentiments were cut from several different strip sets and adhered with glue or foam tape.

That does it for this post! I hope you like all of the cards as much as I do. I really had a lot of fun creating all of these projects, and am itching to create another watercolor panel to play with. I’ll list all of the products that I used below, just in case you’re interested. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Together By Design featuring Kristina Werner with Concord and 9th

Together by Design is a monthly collaboration where a small group of designers all create with products from the same featured brand. Each of us chooses a favorite product and puts our own creative spin on it, showing just how many different ways one brand can inspire. Follow along, explore every project, and discover new designers and new favorites along the way.

This month’s featured brand:  Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

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

For this month’s project, I opted to use several products from Kristina including the Pretty Posies Background Stamp, along with Pretty Posies Dies, Written Words Stamps and the Long Line Leaves Dies. My design ended up being a twofer, hence using multiple sentiment sets. Let’s go through the detail

I began by stamping the Pretty Posies Background onto a panel of black cardstock using VeraMark Ink and heat setting that using Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder. I then took my scissors and fussy cut around the flowers creating two separate panels.

Truth be told, I could have cut the panel apart better and ended up with a larger second panel, but what was done was done! Before adhering the panels with foam tape, I did gold splatter both card bases, stamped the Feel Better Soon sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink and heat set that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.

I die cut the sentiment for the other card three times using the same black cardstock for a stacked sentiment look, along with three small flowers for added interest. To finish up, I added some gold gems to the centers of the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did! I don’t often do twofer projects, but am pleasantly surprised when it happens that way! Stay tuned next month where we will feature a different brand that all of us will be creating with! Stay awesome, friend and have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp You Can Do Anything

Hello Friend, and thank so much for joining me! I’m back today with a project featuring the Mountain Horizon from Simon’s DieCember release. What are your favorites from the release? I’d love to know in the comments! I’ve already added things to my shopping cart! Let’s go ahead and jump into the details for this one.

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

When I saw this Mountain Horizon die cut, I knew that I wanted to try to do something different with it. I thought it might look cool if I only used a few pieces of it to create an abstract design, so that’s what I did! I die cut it from several different colors from my stash and began adhering them to a black splattered panel.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark Ink, heat set it using white embossing powder and trimmed it out several times for a stacked sentiment. I added my panel to a black panel for some contrast and secured the sentiment with foam tape for dimension to finish up.

A pretty simple project for today, but I really like how it turned out! I hope you do too! It was just an idea to try to stretch the possibilities for the die. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a great day!

Simon Says Stamp Christmas Grid

Welcome back, Crafters! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Tree Plate from Simon’s latest release, And Everything Nice. This is a simple card that would be great for mass producing, that is of course, if you like die cutting! Let’s go ahead and get into the details.

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

I began this project by die cutting the Tree Plate from red cardstock and splattering the trees with white ink. I used the negative panel to adhere to my card base with removable tape to help in the placement of the trees.

The trees were adhered using foam tape, and the sentiment was glued directly atop those. I decided that I needed something on the tops of the trees, so I die cut the Mini Hearts Party from silver cardstock and glued them in place to finish up.

That does it for this project! Like I said, a super simple one, but I do love me a good grid pattern! Don’t forget to check out the entire And Everything Nice release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and have yourself a great day!

Simon Says Stamp Peaceful Trees

Hello Friend, and welcome back! Thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Tree Plate from Simon’s latest release, And Everything Nice. I made several cards with this plate, and this is by far my favorite! Let’s run through the deets!

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

I began by die cutting the plate once from Rose Gold Metallic cardstock and once from Champagne Glitter cardstock. These colors work so beautifully together! Before adhering the trees to the card base, I splattered it with a rose gold ink that is so beautiful!

I used the negative panel and adhered that to the card base with removable tape so that I could get the tree placement perfect. The trees were adhered in place using foam tape. The Simple Peace was cut once from the metallic cardstock and three times from Neenah and adhered all of those together for a stacked sentiment. That was glued in place to finish up.

A super simple project, and it comes together so quickly! I’m probably going to use this design for my personal holiday cards this year, as I don’t have a whole lot of time to dedicate to them. I’m also hosting a crafting group at my home, and we’ll be using this design as well, just in traditional reds and greens. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Cool Birthday Penguins

Hey there and welcome back! Today’s post is featuring the new Cool Birthday stamp set from Simon’s latest Sugar & Spice release! I don’t often do clean and simple cards, but that’s what I was going for here. Let’s go ahead and run through the details!

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

I began this project by stamping the penguins from the new Cool Birthday stamp set using VersaFine Black Onyx ink and heat setting them using clear embossing powder. That’s my preferred method if I know that I’m going to be using Copic markers. Once those were stamped, I went ahead and colored them and fussy cut the images out.

While I was stamping, I went ahead and stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it down and put foam tape on the back, along with the penguins.

I gave my card base a light splatter of black before adhering two of the Snowflake Swirl die cuts. The excess was trimmed off, and I adhered the penguins and sentiment to finish up.

A super simple project for today! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out the entire Sugar & Spice release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Peaceful Nordic Tree

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Frosty Nordic Tree from Simon’s latest release, Sugar & Spice. I love a red and aqua color combo, so that’s where I went with this one. Let’s get into the details!

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

I began this project by die cutting the tree pieces three times from Neenah cardstock. I cut three times, because I wasn’t sure if I was going to use all three or just one. As you can see, I opted to use just one. Once I was done with the die cutting, I did some ink blending on the bottom of the pieces using Dew and Mist inks.

The tree pieces were adhered together using liquid glue, and I decided that I wanted the tree to in fact, be frosty. I added some liquid glue to the lines on the tree and sprinkled clear glitter over it. That was set aside to dry while I worked on the other pieces of the card.

I die cut the peace three times from red cardstock, as well as a heart from the Clipping Heart die cut. I used the A2 Postage Rectangles to cut a panel and splatter it with the Mist ink. The tree and heart were adhered using foam tape, while the sentiment was glued directly to the panel to finish up.

That does it for this one! A clean and simple design, but I like how this one turned out! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Spellbinders Hey Pupkin

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for joining me! I’m back today with a cutie card featuring the new Pupkin from the Spellbinders August releases. Let’s jump right into the details!

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

I began this project by die cutting all of the pieces from various cardstock scraps. Once all of the cutting was done, I began assembling the pup. I should have done some light ink blending, but to be honest, I forgot and it was too late at the point that I remembered. Have you ever done that? I was too lazy to cut all of the pieces again.

The background panel was created using the Deckled Rectangles and the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser tool thingy. Once I was satisfied with the distressing of the edges, I took it over to my splat box and added some black splatter. The panel was adhered to the card base and the pup was adhered atop that with foam tape.

Now for the interesting part .. I don’t make Halloween cards, so I didn’t have a sentiment to use on this project. I also didn’t request one when the Pupkin was being sent to me. A little snafu on my part! With all of that being said, I had to whip out the label maker for the sentiment.

A pretty simple card, but I actually like how it turned out, even though cutesy cards are not in my wheelhouse. Don’t forget to swing by the Spellbinders site to check out all of the new August releases! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!
