Spellbinders Birthday Cosmos

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Cosmos, as well as the Journal Grid in a clean and simple design. These products are from the May releases, and you should definitely check them out! Let’s go 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 cutting the Cosmos from Neenah 110lb cardstock and the pieces from pink and yellow cardstocks. I did some light ink blending on the petals using Peony ink, drew some veins with a pink colored pencil and assembled the flower with liquid glue. I wanted this flower on a stem so I used the Layered Wildflowers set and cut that from Green Apple cardstock with some ink blending with Pearfection ink.

The Journal Grid BetterPress Plate was inked using Misty Coast ink, trimmed down and gold splattered for some additional interest. I chose the light grey ink because I wanted a subtle background for this card.

I gold foiled the You Are Everything Plate onto Neenah 110lb and trimmed it out with the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts because I love that stacked sentiment look. The background was adhered to the card base and the leaves and flower were glued in place while the sentiment were adhered using foam strips.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out all of the May releases over on the Spellbinders website! Thanks again for joining me, and have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp In My Thoughts Botanical

Hello Crafters, and welcome back to my blog! I appreciate you stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Big Botanicals from Simon’s latest You Are My Favorite release. Let’s not waste time, and get right to the details!

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

I began this project by stamping the flower portion of this stamp using Sunbeam ink, and the leaf portion using Limelicious ink. I just used a Post-It to mask off the areas, so nothing super technical. I then used Copic Markers Y15, Y18, YG05, YG17 and YG23 to add color to the stamped image. I also went in with some colored pencils to add some extra detail to the shaded areas.

Once I was done with the coloring, I fussy cut the image out. As a note, there are coordinating dies for this stamp set, in case you aren’t a big fan of fussy cutting. My background panel was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and splattered with some gold ink. Once the splatter was dry, I stamped the sentiment, which is from the I’m Sorry set, using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.

My panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, and the floral was adhered using foam strips. I did add a few gold embellishments to tie everything together.

That does it for this project! A relatively clean and simple design for this one. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!
