Simon Says Stamp Birthday Hexagons

Hello Crafty Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Hopping Hexagons Embossing Folder from Simon’s latest release, You Are My Favorite. This was a simple project, so it will be a quick one!

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

I began this project by embossing a panel of matte silver cardstock in the folder, trimming it down a tad and adhering it to a black panel before adhering to the card base.

I die cut the birthday sentiment (this die was discontinued on the Simon website, so I will link to something similar) from the same matte silver cardstock once and twice from regular black cardstock. In addition, I die cut the shadow portion twice and adhered all of these pieces together for a stacked sentiment. This was then adhered to the embossed panel using liquid glue to finish up.

Super simple project for today, that makes for a great birthday card for anyone. You could also use any sentiment for a quick masculine card. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Welcome Baby

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s post is featuring the new Duck Trio from Simon’s latest release, You Are My Favorite. I do want to note that I used a sentiment die cut that is no longer available, so I will link to something similar in the list below. 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 Duck Trio from Neenah 110lb, black and yellow cardstock. Once those were cut, I assembled the ducks and set them aside while I worked on the other elements of the card.

I die cut a background panel using the Nested Postage Labels & Tag and splattered that with black ink. The sentiment, which is no longer available, was die cut once from black glossy cardstock and three times from regular black, and adhered together for a stacked sentiment.

The sentiment was adhered to the background panel, trimming off the ends, while the ducks were adhered using foam strips for added dimension. Everything was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it! My card was made into a baby card, but really, any sentiment of your choosing would work well too! Don’t forget to check out the entire You Are My Favorite release over on Simon’s website! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Thank You Blossom

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back with a project featuring the new Thank You Basics from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. Let’s go ahead and go through 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 Elegant Blossom Branch from Neenah 110lb cardstock and ink blending the pieces using Guava, Limelicious and Pearfection inks. I did cut the stem portion two additional times and adhered those together, along with the pieces of the flowers with liquid glue.

The background was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames, which is one of my favorites, and then splattered using gold acrylic ink. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Thank You Basics set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. The panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape, the stem was glued in place and the flowers were adhered with additional pieces of foam tape. To finish up, I added a few clear drops for some shine.

That does it for this one! I really love the clean and simple look of this card. Clean and simple doesn’t always come easy for me, so I do enjoy when an idea comes together! Don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Vivid Script Hugs

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Eyelet Scallop Border, Vivid Script Sentiments and the Vivid Blooms sets from the Spellbinders latest January releases. Let’s go ahead and jump 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 gold splattering a Neenah panel and then die cutting the Eyelet Scallop Border from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also went ahead and cut the flowers from the Vivid Blooms set from Waterfall and yellow cardstock. While I was cutting, I cut the hugs sentiment once from gold cardstock and three times from Neenah.

I ink blending the flowers a little bit with some Surf ink and assembled the pieces of the flowers, as well as the sentiment. I adhered the border to my splattered panel, adhered the flowers atop that and then adhered the sentiment just below that. The finished panel was then adhered to the card base with foam tape for added dimension.

Super simple card for today, but I’ve been in a clean and simple mode lately for some reason. That’s ok .. not every card has to be over the top! I hope you enjoyed it, and I’m so glad that you stopped by! Have yourself an awesome day!
