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 Rainbow Stacked Blooms

Hey there, Friends! Thanks for joining me! Today’s project is featuring the new Stacked Blooms Embossing Folder from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. This was a super quick card, so let’s get to the details.

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

I began this project by embossing a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock with the embossing folder and did some random ink blending on the debossed side of the panel using Carnation, Sunbeam, Surf and Cadette inks.

Once the ink blending was complete, I used my black Rainbow Splash ink pad and rubbed that on the raised portions of the panel to give this black-out feel. The You Mean The World to Me sentiment was cut once from holographic cardstock and twice from black cardstock. The shadow portion was also cut twice, and all of those pieces were adhered together using liquid glue.

The panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, while the sentiment was glued in place. I didn’t feel that this card needed any additional bling, which is weird for me!

That finishes up this project! Like I said, a super, simple one for today. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Floral Scribbled Letter

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! The Spellbinders March releases are available, and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Scribbled Letter Embossing Folder, along with the Holding Your Heart Sentiments BetterPress Plates. Can I just say right away that I absolutely love this embossing folder?! I love something that gives just a hint of texture but adds to the project! Let’s go ahead and run through 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 pulling cardstock colors that I wanted to use, which were Blush, Dahlia, Waterfall, Teal Topaz, Peridot, Fern, Beeswax and Saffron. I did use some Neenah for the white flowers as well. Once the papers were pulled, I went to work die cutting the flowers and leaves from the Colorful Expressions Blooms.

Those pieces were then ink blended using Carnation, Field, Honey, Surf and Gravel inks before being assembled. I created the background using the Scribbled Letter folder and then lightly rubbed a gold ink pad across the raised side of the panel. The sentiment, which is from the new Holding Your Heart Sentiments BetterPress Plates, was gold foiled and trimmed down.

I adhered the background panel to my card base first and then secured all of the other pieces with liquid glue, beginning with the underneath pieces. I added gold metallic pearls to the one branch and the three white flowers before adding the sentiment with foam strips.

That does it for this project! You all know that I love florals, so I really enjoyed this project, and I’m sure that I’m going to get lots of use from this embossing folder! Don’t forget to check out all of the new March releases over on Spellbinders’ website. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

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

Spellbinders Birthday Mountain Daisy

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Lavender Mountain Daisy from Spellbinders and Susan Tierney Cockburn! You guys know that I love florals, so I was thrilled to be able to work with some of Susan’s latest floral die cuts! Let’s go ahead and get 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 a few of the daisies and centers from Purple Mist and Saffron cardstock. I did some ink blending on the flowers using PFS Hydrangea ink, and I used Copic marker YR04 on the centers. I used the Sizzix Shaping Kit to shape the center pieces and then I went ahead and assembled the flowers.

Now as you all know, I always need greenery so I die cut a few leaves from the Vivid Blooms set from Green Apple cardstock and did some ink blending on those as well using Artichoke ink. For my background, I used the Fresh Picked Labels and Tag to create a focal point. The center portion that was cut out to create the frame was then run through the machine using the Argyle Plaid 3D Embossing Folder to add a bit of texture.

The sentiment, which is from the Simply Perfect Mix & Match Sentiments, was die cut once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock for a stacked sentiment. I was unable to locate this set on the Spellbinders website, so I’m assuming that it must have been discontinued. But, if you’re wanting to recreate this project, just use what’s in your stash! Before assembling, I did splatter both the panel and the card base with gold acrylic ink. The textured panel was adhered to the card base using liquid glue, as well as the flowers, leaves and sentiment. To finish up, I added a few Gold Metallic Pearls.

That does it for this card! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Don’t forget to check out all of the February releases from Spellbinders! Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Wonderful Vivid Blooms

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! Today’s project is featuring the new Vivid Blooms set from Spellbinders January releases. I had used these florals on a previous project and had some left over, so of course I had to use them! Let’s run through 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 the florals and leaves from Waterfall, Teal Topaz, Saffron, Cotton Candy and Green Apple cardstocks. I did some ink blending on those pieces using Carnation, Honey, Artichoke, Ocean and Surf inks. Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers and set them aside while I worked on the remainder of the card.

I used the Fluted Classics Rectangles to create a frame and then embossed the center portion using the Leafy Embossing Folder. For some added interest, I did splatter both of those with gold acrylic ink. The sentiment, which is from the You Are Everything Sentiments set, was gold foiled onto black cardstock and die cut three times for a stacked sentiment look.

For the assembly, I glued the frame and embossed panel to the card base and then adhered the leaves in place and then the florals. Two of the flowers were adhered with foam tape for some added dimension. The sentiment was added with foam strips, and to finish up, I added some Gold Metallic Pearls to one of the leaf stems.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Thanks again for joining me today, and I have you have an amazing day! Stay awesome, friend!

Simon Says Stamp Snowy Warm Hugs

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Today I’m featuring the new Simon Says Stamp Exclusive die cut from Tim Holtz, Be of Good Cheer! What a fun little set to play with, AND it’s free with any $25 Tim Holtz branded purchase! Hurry though, this offer is only while supplies last! I created a few projects with this set, so let’s go ahead and go through the first 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 watercolor paper using the Snowflake Visions Embossing Folder. I used watercolor paper because I knew that I was going to be adding moisture, and I wanted a paper that good withstand that. I added some TH Distress Spritz in Uncharted Mariner and let that dry some before adding some Peacock Feathers Spritz. When that was dry, I used a brayer and white ink to roll over the raised portions of the panel to brighten it back up. I wasn’t done there .. I also added some white splatter to the panel as well.

I set that aside to dry while I worked on the snowman. The snowman is several pieces so I cut the coordinating pieces from Neenah, black, blues, grey, orange and pink. Once those were all cut, I assembled the snowman using liquid glue. I also cut a silver frame using the SSS A2 Thin Frames set, and the Warm Hugs was also cut from silver cardstock as well. I did two additional cuts from Neenah and cut the shadow twice from Neenah and glued all of those pieces together for that stacked sentiment look.

The silver frame was glued to the panel, while the sentiment and the snowman were adhered using foam tape before being adhered to the card base.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out the entire DieCember release, including this cutie set from Tim Holtz. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Festive Fun Release Blog Hop – Day 2

To continue the celebration, Simon is offering the Cozy Together stamp and die set free with a $100 purchase! No code necessary, it will automatically be added to your cart. My project for today is featuring the new Poinsettia Swag. This is a really pretty stamp, and I enjoyed giving it a soft feel with watercoloring. Let’s dive into the details, shall we?

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

I began this project by stamping and gold embossing the floral twice onto a panel of watercolor paper. My style of watercoloring is very simple, mainly because I don’t really know any other way. I used Karin Brushmarkers and scribbled the color onto my glass mat and used a water brush to add the color to the image. Where I wanted more color, I just added more concentrated ink. Nothing fancy at all.

Once the watercoloring was complete, I fussy cut the images and set those aside while I worked on the other elements of the card. My background texture was created using the Poinsettia Field Embossing Folder. As always, I needed more leaves so I used the Holly Sprigs and cut those from green cardstock. I did end up using Artichoke ink to add some shading to the additional leaves.

This sentiment, which is from the Big Holiday Words set, was stamped using VersaMark ink and heat set using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it out using the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for a stacked sentiment. The green leaves were adhered to the panel using liquid glue, while the florals were adhered using foam tape. The sentiment was glued to the panel and I added a few gold metallic pearls to finish up.

That does it for this project. 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 Festive Fun release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for hanging out with me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Artsy Hello

Hello Crafty Friends! Thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Artsy Florals from Simon’s latest release, Sweet Wishes. 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 stamping the main flower from the Artsy Florals set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I used Copic Markers BG72, BG75, BG78 and Y17 to color the image before cutting it out. I also used a Copic Multiliner to add some black dot detail to the center of the flower as well.

My next step was to create a background using the Wistful Leaves Embossing Folder. I did some light ink blending on the leaves using PFS Tidal Pond ink, and then used the Rainbow Splash Black ink pad to create the “black out” effect on the panel. I trimmed the panel down and adhered it to the card base.

I used the Lush Leaves and cut some of those from black cardstock, and went ahead and cut the sentiment, as well. I cut the hello, which is from the Handlettered Greetings set, once from gold cardstock and twice from black cardstock and adhered all of the pieces together for that stacked sentiment look that I love.

The black leaves were glued in place, while the central flower was adhered using foam tape. To finish up, the gold sentiment was glued directly to the center of the flower.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it! I really love this color combination with the aqua and the black. Thanks so much for joining me for today’s project, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

Spellbinders October 2024 Large Die of the Month Cozy Toes Slippers

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by! The October Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders is titled Cozy Toes Slippers, and this is such a cute set! It includes elements to make slippers that feature a bunny, a reindeer, a penguin, Santa and even a monster! I chose to do the Santa slippers, so let’s go ahead and run through the details, shall we?

If you are not familiar with the Spellbinders Clubs, here’s a little bit about how it works ..

  • On the 6th of the month, Non-Club members can join the club and get this month’s Club product(s) at the reduced Club Member price with free shipping.
  • On the 27th of the month, registration for this month’s club products closes.
  • On the 10th of the next month, Club products become available to everyone without requiring a Club membership; however, they are available at regular price and there is no free shipping. If a product is sold out, it will be re-ordered.

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

I began this project by sorting through the dies and identifying those that pertained to the Santa. I then began cutting from colors of cardstock that coordinated with the pieces. I cut the pajama pants from patterned paper from my stash, and cut the slippers from black, and so on. You get the idea!

Once all of the pieces were cut, I began assembling them. I’m not even going to lie, I do have to refer to the images on the website sometimes to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing with the pieces! I decided that I needed a background, so I used the Argyle Plaid 3D Embossing Folder for that.

I adhered the pants and slippers using foam tape for added dimension, and applied glue and glitter to Santa’s hat for some sparkly additions. I also decided to apply some Glossy Accents to Santa’s nose as well. The sentiment is from the Mistletoe Greetings BetterPress set, and that was created using BetterPress Black ink, and then glued directly atop the pajama pants to finish up.
