Simon Says Stamp Everything is Okayer Now

Hello! Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Coffee Time set. Are you a coffee drinker? If so, this set is definitely for you! I’m loving all of the fun sentiments in this set! Let’s go ahead and go through the details!

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

For the background on this one, I used the SSS Brush Strokes stencil along with SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Latte, Cappuccino and Mocha. Once the ink blending was complete, I used the SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frames to trim it down. I stamped the coffee mug and the sentiments from the SSS Coffee Time set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set those using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating dies to trim those out, cutting the sentiments two more times for that stacked look.

I decided that I wanted some other coffee cups, and the only one that I could find is from the SSS Happy Fall Y’all set. So, I stamped that one twice and did the same heat setting, and colored it in using Copics E31, E37, C1, C2, C3, G21 and G24.

Before assembling the card, I did splatter the base using TH Distress Mica Spray in Crooked Broomstick. The striped panel was adhered, and all of the elements on the front of the card were adhered using foam strips to finish up.

A super simple card for today! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire STAMPtember release! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Adulting is Hard

Welcome back, Friends! It’s a beautiful STAMPtember, and I’m curious what your favorites are so far? As we all know, there are tons of new things the entire month, so be sure to stay tuned for those. Today’s card is featuring the fun, new Coffee Time set, so let’s get into it!

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

I began this project by stamping the coffee cup from the Coffee Time set a bunch of times using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I also stamped the sentiments from the set using the same ink and powder. I die cut the coffee mugs and die cut the sentiments three times to achieve the stacked sentiment look.

Once all of the mugs were cut, I got busy coloring them using Copic Markers in RV55, V05, Y13, Y17, YG13, G14, BG11, BG13, BV00, BV02 and E23. I also die cut the SSS Artwork Grid Plate twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and adhered those to the card base using liquid glue. As I was playing around with the layout of the card, I decided that it would be super cool if each square had a corresponding color of splatter. For some reason, I must like making things hard for myself!

I took the card to the splat box and pulled out the TH Distress Oxide Sprays in Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Broken Chine and Wilted Violet. I worked one square at a time and “masked” off everything else using paper towels. Yes, this took some time, but I’m quite happy with how it turned out! Everything on the card front was then adhered using foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get creative in your space! Head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire STAMPtember release! Thanks again for stopping by, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Fresh Roasted Coffee

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! I’m once again playing with the Coffee Time set from Simon’s latest STAMPtember release. This is a CZ Design card if I ever did see one! Cathy is just so freaking talented! Let’s not waste time and go through the details.

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

This card is a double stencil technique. I used the SSS A2 Mask Stencils on a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and then secured the new SSS Fresh Roast Stencil atop that. I did some light ink blending using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Latte and Cappuccino. Once the ink blending was complete, I used the rectangle portion of the mask stencil to cover my ink blending and then splattered it with TH Distress Mica Spray in Crooked Broomstick.

I stamped the coffee mug and the sentiments using VersaFine Onyx Black in and heat set those using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I wanted two mugs, so I did a mirror stamping for the second one. In all honesty, I did have to watch a Jennifer McGuire video to learn how to do it! I then used the coordinating dies to trim those out. I did cut the sentiments two additional times for that stacked sentiment look.

I colored the mugs using Copic Markers in C1, C2, C3, E23 and E47, and those, along with the sentiments were adhered to the panel using foam strips. That panel was then adhered to a black panel with foam tape for added dimension, because what do we say? Dimension is life!

And, that does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space. Don’t forget to check out the entire STAMPtember release over on Simon’s website, and stay tuned all month long for the collaboration sets! Have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Diamond Circle Good Vibes

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m so glad that you stopped by for today’s project! It’s featuring the new Diamond Circles Foil Transfer Cards from Simon’s latest release, Celebrate. Let’s jump right in to the details!

Main Products:

So, when I see foil transfer cards, I always feel like they HAVE to be foiled, but guess what? They don’t! I decided to just color this one for a completely different look! To begin, I pulled a card from The Color Cubes for some color inspiration. Once I decided on the colors, I pulled Copic Markers that matched and began coloring the different portions of the circles. The markers that I used were V22, V15, V17, V25, BG18 and BG78.

Once the panel was done, I used the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles to trim it down. I die cut the SSS Sending Good Vibes once from silver cardstock, twice from black cardstock and cut the shadow twice from black cardstock as well. All of those were adhered together using liquid glue and then glued directly to my panel.

Everything was then adhered to the card base before adding some PFS Silver Metallic Pearls to finish up.

Super simple card for today, but this is a good reminder that even though this card can be foiled, you don’t have to foil it! By not foiling, I think it gives it a completely different look! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Be Still Flower

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m so glad that you’re here! Today’s project is featuring the new Wild & Free Flowers set from Simon’s latest release, Be Bold. Let’s not waste any time, and get to it!

Main Products:

I began this card by stamping one of the florals from the SSS Wild & Free Flowers onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock, using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I then colored the image using Copic Markers in G24, G85, G94, R83, R85, RV52 and Y18, along with PrismaColor Pencils for some extra shading.

Once the coloring was complete, I used the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles to trim the panel down, before adhering it to a black panel with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, which is from the SSS Tiny Words Faith set, using the same black ink.

I added some clear drops and “fake” black splatter using Copic Multiliner pens. Normally, I add real splatter, but I wanted control of where the black dots were placed, hence the use of pens. This panel was then adhered to the card base.

A pretty simple card for today. I hope you enjoyed this project, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space. Don’t forget to head over to Simon’s website to check out the entire Be Bold release! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends, and thank you so much for stopping by! It’s always a pleasure to have you! I’m back today with another card featuring the new Topography Background Stamp from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Splendor. Let’s run through the details for this one.

I received The Color Cubes as a Christmas gift, and I put them to good use on this card! The really cool thing about The Color Cubes is that you also receive a download that gives you the corresponding Copic marker colors. Once I decided on a card from the cube, I went and found the Copics to guide me.

To begin the card, I stamped the SSS Topography Background stamp onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set it using Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder. The Copic markers that I used were RV06, YR04, Y18, G05 and B05. Once the coloring was completed, I used the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles to trim it down.

I die cut the SSS Happy Birthday Brush Script once from gold cardstock and twice from black cardstock and adhered all of those together using liquid glue, along with three of the shadow die cuts as well. The sub-sentiment is from the new SSS Birthday Basics set, and I stamped that onto black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set it using the same embossing powder and trimmed it down to an appropriate size.

To assemble the card, I adhered the panel to a black panel using foam tape, and glued the main sentiment in place and added the sub-sentiment with SSS 3D Foam Strips. Everything was then adhered to the card base, and I added a few PFS Gold Metallic Pearls for a bit of shine.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space. I actually colored this panel on a plane ride to Miami for a short getaway. I always bring things along with me on trips to occupy any downtime that I might have. Anyhoo, don’t forget to check out the entire Splendor release over on the Simon website. Thanks again for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Let Your Dreams Blossom

Hello Crafters and welcome back! There’s a super fun Instagram hop going on featuring some of the new products from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Just a Note. Be sure to head over there to check it out and comment along the way for your chance to win a $25 gift card from Simon. Who doesn’t love gift cards, right?! My project for today is featuring the new Plant Sentiments stamp set, so let’s run through the details, shall we?

To begin this card, I stamped some florals from the SSS Best Friend Ever set onto some Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaMark Ink. I then heat set that using Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder. Once those were stamped, I used the coordinating die to trim them out and added color using Copic Markers R30, RV00, RV91, YG05, YG13, and YG63.

I used the Let Your Dream Blossom sentiment from the SSS Plant Sentiments set and stamped that on black cardstock using VersaMark Ink, and embossed that using the same gold embossing powder. Once that was done, I did end up fussy cutting the sentiment out. I used the SSS Detail Petal Plate to cut the background and did some very light ink blending on the corners using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Celery.

I played around with the placement and decided that I needed some leaves, which happens quite a bit for me! I used the SSS Windswept Leaves and cut a couple of those. To assemble the card, I adhered the leaves using liquid glue and adhered the florals using foam tape for added dimension. For portions that I cut off, I added some of those around the edges as well.

The sentiment was also adhered using foam tape before adhering the entire panel to a black panel. I like using black panels for the contrast that it provides. Everything was adhered to the card base, and I added some clear drops for a little added bling.

That finishes up this project. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires some of your creativity! Don’t forget to head over to Instagram to hop along leaving comments for your chance to win a gift card. And, be sure to check out the entire Just a Note release for lots of inspiration on the Simon website. Have a wonderful day, and stay awesome friend!

Strawberry Fields

Hello Friends and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a card featuring the new Strawberry Fields Embossing Folder from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Out of This World. I had a fun time working on this one, although it took me the better part of a day. That’s just me though, it takes me forever to color anything! Anyhoo, let’s roll through the details of this one.

I began by trimming a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and misting it with a bit of water before running it through the die cutter. Once the image was embossed, I sat down and got to coloring! The Copic Markers used were R27, R35, R37, R39, RV14, B0000, Y18, N1, C2, BG96, YG99, G21, G24, G85 and G94. If you don’t have a Copic Hex Chart, I highly recommend it. It’s super nice to be able to glance at the chart and know which colors will work nicely together.

Once all of the coloring was complete, I used a Copic Multiliner 0.03 to add some detail for the strawberry seeds. I then trimmed the panel down just a smidge and adhered it to a black panel for a little bit of contrast.

For the sentiment, I opted to use the SSS Thanks die. I cut the shadow three times and the sentiment once from Polished Gold cardstock and adhered all of those together using liquid glue. That was then placed in the center of the panel.

I adhered everything to the card base and added a few clear drops to complete this project.

That does it for this one. Don’t forget to check out the entire Out of This World release and let me know your favorites! Thanks again for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Black Eyed Susans Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! How’s your STAMPtember going so far? What are your favorites from the new release? Yeah, I’m nosey! There are so many cool things that it’s hard for me to narrow down my favorites! Anyhoo, today’s project is featuring the new Black Eyed Susans stamp set, so let’s run through the details!

To begin, I stamped the floral images from the SSS Black Eyed Susans set onto a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I pulled out some Copic markers and began coloring using Y06, Y08, Y18, YR23, E39, E79, E99, G24, G82, YG61, N0 and N1.

Once all of the coloring was complete, I used a Copic Multi Liner 0.5 to add some additional black dot detail to the centers of the flowers. Next, I stamped a bee from the set twice in the same way and colored those using one of the yellow markers along with the Copic 110 Special Black marker. For a bit more added detail, I went over the wings using a Wink of Stella marker as well before fussy cutting them.

I trimmed the floral panel using PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles and adhered it to a black panel using SSS Dot Tape Runner. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the same set and stamped that onto black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. Once that was done, I trimmed it down and adhered it to the panel using SSS Foam Tape.

I adhered the bees to the panel as well using SSS Foam Squares, before adhering everything to the card base. No card is complete without some bling, so I added some PFS Iridescent Clear Drops to finish up this one.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty! Don’t forget to swing by and check out the entire STAMPtember release! Have yourself a wonderful day and stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Good Day Peony Blossom

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! The newest Simon Says Stamp release, Yay You, is a gorgeous one, and I’m playing with the new Sketched Peony Blossom Foil and Cut set! Have you jumped on the foiling band wagon yet? I did a while back, and I just love it! Let’s run through the details for today’s card, shall we?

To begin, I foiled the Sketched Peony Blossom several times on some Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock using Spellbinders Rose Gold Foil and colored them using Copic Markers R00, R11, R20 and E02 and a Multiliner to add the black detail to the centers of the flowers. While I was foiling, I went ahead and used the PinkFresh Studio Solid Hot Foil Plate to foil the negative pieces as well. Once all the peonies were done, I used the included, coordinating die to trim them all out.

I used the SSS Privet Branch and cut some of those from blue cardstock, as well as some vellum. The background needed some interest so I opted for the PinkFresh Studio Simply Diamonds and adhered that directly to the card base using liquid glue.

To assemble the card, I glued the solid foiled peonies to the colored peonies. I adhered the leaves to the card base using glue, and adhered the peonies atop those using foam tape for dimension.

The SSS Sentiment Strip was glued directly to the flower and I added some pearls to finish it up.

That does it for this card! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Don’t forget to stop by and check out the entire Yay You release. Have a wonderful day and stay awesome!
