Together By Design featuring Kristina Werner with Concord and 9th

Together by Design is a monthly collaboration where a small group of designers all create with products from the same featured brand. Each of us chooses a favorite product and puts our own creative spin on it, showing just how many different ways one brand can inspire. Follow along, explore every project, and discover new designers and new favorites along the way.

This month’s featured brand:  Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

For this month’s project, I opted to use several products from Kristina including the Pretty Posies Background Stamp, along with Pretty Posies Dies, Written Words Stamps and the Long Line Leaves Dies. My design ended up being a twofer, hence using multiple sentiment sets. Let’s go through the detail

I began by stamping the Pretty Posies Background onto a panel of black cardstock using VeraMark Ink and heat setting that using Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder. I then took my scissors and fussy cut around the flowers creating two separate panels.

Truth be told, I could have cut the panel apart better and ended up with a larger second panel, but what was done was done! Before adhering the panels with foam tape, I did gold splatter both card bases, stamped the Feel Better Soon sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink and heat set that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.

I die cut the sentiment for the other card three times using the same black cardstock for a stacked sentiment look, along with three small flowers for added interest. To finish up, I added some gold gems to the centers of the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did! I don’t often do twofer projects, but am pleasantly surprised when it happens that way! Stay tuned next month where we will feature a different brand that all of us will be creating with! Stay awesome, friend and have an awesome day!

Crafty time this week! It’s Friday, we made it, and I’m back with a super duper, simple card using an alcohol panel and a cover die cut that were just hanging out in my stash! We all know that I love a good floral or leafy card, and today’s project goes down the leafy path using the @simonsaysstamp Privet Branch. And who doesn’t love a good color combo as well?!? You can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! Happy Monday, Friends! I was asked recently to create some sympathy cards, and I always find these cards difficult to make, but I kept it toned down and simple. I feel like white on white or white with grey is peaceful ad soothing, especially during a difficult time. Happy Friday, and happy early Valentine’s to you! The other day I created a large watercolor panel with some stamping and splatter to cut all kinds of @simonsaysstamp hearts from to create four different projects. I love how each project turned out, and I’m itching to create another panel with some different die cuts. There’s a blog post if you’d like more details over at redsas.co. I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend! Happiest Wednesday, Friends! I’m back with another simple card design using an embossing folder and white ink along with a brayer. I love the hint of white on the edges of the flowers paired with a coordinating sentiment and gems for a little pop of color. Hope you all have an awesome day!

Spellbinders Feel Better Daisies

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back to my blog! The new April releases from Spellbinders are live, and I’m back today with a project featuring Yana’s Daisies! Yana makes beautiful florals, and I was so excited to be able to play with this collection! Let’s go ahead and go 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 cutting Yana’s Daisies several times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. You’ll see in a later post where I use the outline of the daisies, but for this post, I wanted to use all of these petals that were leftover from that project! I picked out a bunch of the petals and did some light ink blending on those using Bubblegum ink. I also did some ink blending on the centers using Honey ink.

I retrieved some Press n Seal from the kitchen, and arranged the petals upside down around one of the centers, basically creating my own flower with the pieces. Once everything was arranged, I placed tiny pieces of foam tape on the back of the flower pieces. Once that was done, I arranged the flowers onto my panel, which I had previously splattered with gold acrylic ink.

I wanted some greenery for the flowers, so I die cut one of the leaves from the Club Blooms set from Green Apple cardstock and did some ink blending using Artichoke ink. I tucked those under the petals and secured them in place with liquid glue.

The sentiment, which is from the You Are Everything Sentiments set, was gold foiled and trimmed out several times with the coordinating die and adhered atop the panel with foam strips. To finish up, I added some Gold Metallic Pearls for some added shine.

That does it for this project! I thought this project was going to be a lot more tedious than it was, and I think that was because of the Press n Seal! Don’t forget to head on over to Spellbinders to check out all of the April releases! Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!
