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!

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 Sending You Love

Hello and welcome back! I’m so thrilled that you stopped by to hang out with me for a few minutes! Today’s project is featuring the new Pixie Dust Stamp set from Simon’s latest release To Be Loved. Let’s go ahead and get right into it!

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

I began this project by stamping the floral image from this set twice onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I then colored one of the images using Copic Markers in BG96, BG10, BG53, BG72, G94, YG63, Y08, Y18 and Y38.

When I stamped the floral image twice, I was not sure at this point what I was doing with the card. It was a, “I’m going to start and see what happens” kind of project! Once I finished coloring the one image, I cut it out, and decided that I would use the other stamped image as a background of sorts. I used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames to determine placement and went ahead and trimmed it down.

I then added some “black splatter” using a Copic Multiliner, because I wanted to control where the splatter landed. I adhered the colored portions of the flowers atop the panel using foam squares and then ran it back through the die cutting machine with the postage edge again so that both layers had the pattern.

This is a left over gold foiled sentiment that I had in my stash, which is from the Reverse Bad Day Good Vibes Sentiment Strip set, that I added with foam strips. The panel was added to the card base and along with some gold metallic pearls to finish up.

Another project in the books! I hope you enjoyed it! I used to enjoy using my Copic Markers a great deal, but have kind of gotten out of the habit, so it was nice to pick them up again for a relatively quick project. Don’t forget to check out the entire To Be Loved release over on Simon’s website! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Simon Says Stamp Harlequin Heart

Hello Friends and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Harlequin Heart stamp from one of Simonn’s latest releases, To Love. Let’s go ahead and get right into it!

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

I began this project by stamping the Harlequin Heart onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. Next, I did some ink blending on the panel using Lilac, Orchid and Amethyst inks.

The panel was trimmed down and adhered to a black panel for contrast, before being adhered to the card base. I die cut the You sentiment once from silver cardstock and three times from black and adhered all of those together for a stacked sentiment. I stamped the sub-sentiment, which is from the You stamp set, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder.

I adhered the sub-sentiment using foam strips and added some silver metallic pearls to pull it all together and add some bling.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Don’t forget to check out the entire release, as there are lots of good things for those Valentine cards. Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp To Love And To Be Loved Release Blog Hop – Day 1

Hello Crafty Friends and thanks for joining me! Welcome to Day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop featuring the To Love and To Be Loved releases! Be sure to comment along the hop for your chance to win a $25 coupon from Simon! There’s also a free gift with purchase when you spend $50 or more on new release products! A chance to win a coupon, a free gift with purchase AND tons of inspiration .. YES PLEASE! My project for today is featuring the new I’m Sorry die cut in my usual floral fashion! Let’s go ahead and go through the details!

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

I began this project by cutting a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock down to the same size as the gold thin frame and splattering it with gold acrylic paint. I set that aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.

The I’m Sorry sentiment was cut once, and I die cut a few white flowers using the Cosmos Duo set, and cut the centers of the flowers from yellow cardstock. The flowers needed a little bit of shading so I added that with some Gravel ink. The centers also got some shading using Sunbeam ink. The flowers are two layers because I wanted more fullness, so I went ahead and assembled all of the pieces using liquid glue.

Now here is where things get a little wonky! I needed a longer stem for the flowers so I die cut the stem from the Divine Peony set, and I die cut a few leaves from the Winsome Branches set to go along with the stem from the Cosmos set. Light ink blending using Cabbage ink was applied to the stems and leaves.

To assemble the card, I glued the gold frame to the splattered panel, added the I’m Sorry and then added the one long stem. The first two flowers were then adhered using foam strips, I added the second stem, along with the third flower and then added the leaves atop the stems. The panel was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Be sure to comment along the Hop for your chance to win!

Simon Says Stamp Floral Whirl Leaf

Hello and welcome back, Friends! I’m back today with another project featuring the awesome Whirl Fancy Leaf from Simon’s latest DieCember release! I had a lot of fun with this leaf, and really love today’s project, so let’s go ahead and run through the details, shall we?

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

I began this project by die cutting the leaf twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some light ink blending on them using Lilac, Orchid, Seafoam and Surf inks. I had a few leftover flowers from the Hanging Leaf Ring set that I decided to add to this project as well.

Those flowers have some light Gravel ink blending on them, along with some Gunmetal Dazzling Gems. I love the Just Breathe set, so I stamped one of the sentiment onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. That was trimmed out using the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for added strength and dimension.

I used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames to trim a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and splattered that with some black ink before proceeding. This panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, the leaves were glued into place and the flowers were secured with foam tape. The sentiment was secured with foam strips to finish this project up!

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did! I really love the simplicity of it, as well as the colors! Thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project! I hope you have a wonderful day, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Starburst

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back to my blog! Today’s project is a super simple one, but it’s pretty nonetheless. It’s featuring the new Starburst Plate from Simon’s latest DieCember release, so let’s get right into the details!

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

I began by die cutting the Starburst Plate from Neenah 110lb cardstock and added some ink blending using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Celery and Seafoam inks. Once that was complete, I went ahead and adhered it to the card base using liquid glue.

The You Brighten My Day sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and four times from black cardstock. I adhered those pieces together while offsetting the gold layer slightly to give a shadow appearance. That was then adhered directly to the panel, and I added small gold pearls to the intersections of the die cut to finish up.

Like I said, a super simple card, but I like the way it turned out! Don’t forget to head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire DieCember release! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp DieCember 2024 Blog Party

Hello Friends and welcome to the SSS DieCember Blog Party! We have a EPIC party going on today with tons of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing! There’s also a free gift with a $100 DieCember purchase! No code necessary, it will automatically be added to your cart once the dollar amount is met. Please see the attached graphic below for all of the details. You can begin the hop at Simon’s website to soak up all of the inspiration from Simon’s awesome designers! My project today is featuring the new Hanging Leaf Ring, 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.

In October I made a shadow box frame and since then, I’ve been itching to make another! The cute flowers and leaves from the Hanging Leaf Ring set seemed to be begging for their place in a frame, so that’s what I set out to do! I die cut around thirty five of the various sizes of flowers for this project and did some light ink blending on most, while a small few had some darker ink blending. The colors that I used were Bubblegum, Carnation, Seafoam, Ocean, Cantaloupe and Sherbet.

Once all of the ink blending was complete, I assembled the pieces of the largest flowers and added an Opal Dazzling Gem to the center of each flower. It’s a lot of flowers, but it actually went fairly quickly! I die cut a few of the leaves from this set using Smoke cardstock, along with a few leaves using the Budding Branches die.

While I was die cutting, I went ahead and cut the sentiment twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and cut the shadow twice from black cardstock. All of the pieces were adhered together using liquid glue, and I went ahead and put foam strips on the back.

Now that all of the components were ready, I cut a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and splattered it with some black acrylic ink before beginning the assembly process. I began by figuring out the center and glued the leaves in place before adhering the sentiment. I then adhered the eight larger flowers and then adhered the remaining smaller flowers around everything.

To finish up, I added more Opal gems to the berry portion of the Budding Branches and put the panel back into the frame. That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I really love how this turned out and am wanting to make one for myself.

Don’t forget to head over to Simon’s storefront to check out the entire DieCember release! And .. don’t forget to head over to Simon’s website for the Blog Party. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Autumn Blessings

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Simon’s latest release, Festive Fun, is live and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Abundant Leaf Background. 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 cutting the Abundant Leaf Background two times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. While the die cuts were still in the panel, I did some ink blending using Honey, Latte, Limelicious, Melon and Zest inks. As you can tell from these colors, I was going for a fall vibe on this one. You’ll see later on where I did a more springy version. Once the ink blending was complete, I cut the stems apart so that I could arrange them how I wanted.

My background was created using the Chunky A2 Scalloped Rectangles with a bunch of gold splatter. I began arranging the leaves in a side arch to determine what sentiment I might use. I cut the Grateful sentiment once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and cut the shadow portion twice as well. All of those were adhered together using liquid glue and set aside while I assembled the card.

The background panel was adhered to the card base, and I began gluing the leaves to the panel. The sentiment was adhered using foam strips and I added this sub-sentiment, which is from the new Gratitude Sentiment Strips, using foam strips as well. I used the included smaller die to cut green “berries” and added those to the card, as well as some gold metallic pearls in some spaces for some added shine.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Don’t forget to head over to Simon’s website to check out the entire Festive Fun release! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

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!
