Carry On With Courage

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring florals with some absolutely gorgeous paper from Your Paper Insider! I love grays and black, but this pink cardstock is beyond gorgeous! The color doesn’t come through in the pictures, but it’s the softest, palest pink that I’ve ever come across, and I thought it paired so well with the dark colors on this card. If you haven’t checked out Your Paper Insider, I highly recommend that you do so! It’s a fun subscription box that features papers from all over the world to include many cardstock colors and specialty papers. Let’s go ahead and get into the details for this project.

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 some florals and leaves from the Spellbinders Vivid Blooms set using all of these colors from my subscription box. Once the florals were assembled, I went ahead and used the PinkFresh Studio Sparkling Diamonds plate on a panel of darker gray cardstock.

Before moving on, I did splatter that panel with some black acrylic ink for some added interest. The sentiment was created using the PinkFresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments and Opal foil. The was die cut several times to create a stacked sentiment.

I began assembling the card by adhering the gray leaves first using liquid glue and then adhering the pink leaves atop those. I then adhered the outside flowers, again with liquid glue, and then adhered the center flower with foam tape. The sentiment was adhered with foam strips, and I tucked in some additional leaves to fill in. Clear drops were added to finish up.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Take some time to check out Your Paper Insider to see if it’s something that interests you! Thanks again for hanging out with me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp All My Love

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! There’s a super fun Instagram Hop going on today to celebrate the Simon Favorite Things release! Definitely check that out and comment along the hop for your chance to win a $25 gift card at each stop! Today’s project is featuring the new Parisian Frame and Pretty Bows, so 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 Parisian Frame pieces using VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I then did some light ink blending over the top using Bubblegum ink. I trimmed the frame down and adhered it to white foam and then trimmed the foam down. I also darkened up the stamped flowers with Copic Marker R85. At this point, I wasn’t sure where the card was going, so I went ahead and die cut some flowers and leaves using the Elegant Blossom Branch, Cosmos Duo and the Budding Branches.

While I was cutting, I went ahead and cut the centers of the flowers from black cardstock as well. I did some light ink blending on the pieces using Bubblegum, Carnation, Celery and Seafoam inks. I splattered the card base with black acrylic ink and cut a panel using the Scalloped Rectangles. The panel was adhered to the card base first and then the Parisian Frame was adhered atop that.

The leaves were adhered first, followed by the flowers. Bubblegum Dazzling Gems were then added, and I decided that one of the Pretty Bows would add a nice touch, so I cut that once from Neenah and once from gold and adhered those together. The bow was then added just underneath one of the flowers to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you’ll stop by and check out the entire Favorite Things release over on Simon’s website! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!
