Together by Design Featuring Pinkfresh Studio

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:  Pinkfresh Studio

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

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

For this month’s Pinkfresh project, I used several different products, and I’ll list all of those at the bottom of this post. I began my project by gold foiling the Timeless Tulips and ink blending using the coordinating stencils. Once satisfied with those results, I trimmed it out with the coordinating die. I really love the product suites that Pinkfresh offers, and am noticing that more companies are jumping on that bandwagon.

My background was created using the Blanket Stitched Octagons with some ink blending and gold splatter. When I was foiling, I went ahead and foiled the sentiment and the small butterfly onto acetate. I’m not sure the Small Butterflies set is made anymore, unfortunately. Those were trimmed out using the coordinating die cuts as well.

The florals were adhered to the background using foam tape, the sentiment was glued in place and the butterfly was secured with strong double sided tape. The panel was adhered to the card base, and I trimmed off the edges with scissors to give it that shaped card look. Some clear drops were in order to finish this project up.

I hope you like it as much as I do! This is a beautiful color combination, and I love how it turned out! Stay tuned for next month where we will feature a different company, and you can see how we all have our own spin on things! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Blended Daisies

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! The Beautiful Moments release is live, and I’m back with a project featuring the new Groovy Daisies with a soft blend. 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 Groovy Daisies onto a panel using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossing it using clear embossing powder. I knew that I wanted to double heat emboss, and when I do this, I stamp the second time with VersaMark ink and heat again using clear powder. I do this because, during the heating process, I find that the paper warps a tiny bit and if I stamp again in black, it can sometimes be slightly off. By stamping the second time with VersaMark, you don’t notice that.

I really love how the ink blending turned out using Bubblegum, Lilac, Marine and Seafoam inks. Once done with the ink blending, I trimmed the panel down using the new A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles, and mounted it onto a black panel for contrast. The sentiment was cut once from Matte Silver cardstock and twice from black cardstock, while the shadow portion was cut four times. All of those were adhered together using liquid glue for a stacked sentiment. I added some matte silver pearls to the some of the flowers to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you like it, and I hope you’ll stop by and check out the entire Beautiful Moments release! Thanks again for swinging by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Just Because Daisies

Hello Friends, and thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring a couple of products from Simon, including the Tilted Daises. This was a quick one, so let’s zoom through the details.

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

I began this project by die cutting the daisy pieces from white, yellow and green apple cardstock. I did some light ink blending on the flower portions using Honey and Shark inks before assembling them with liquid glue.

The background was stamped onto a panel using Misty Coast ink and trimmed down using the A2 Postage Rectangles. The stems were glued in place atop the panel, while the flowers were adhered using foam strips. The panel was adhered to the card base, and clear drops were added to finish up.

That does it for this one! Thanks again for joining me, and have a super awesome day!

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:

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

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!

Simon Says Stamp Floral Warm Wishes

Welcome back, friends! I’m so glad that you stopped by to check out today’s post featuring the new Warm Wishes Medley Script and the Nested Stitched Ovals from Simon’s DieCember release. 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 die cutting the sentiment three times from red cardstock and creating the frame from white cardstock. To be honest, the flowers and leaves were already cut from a previous project from several months ago, and they were cut from white and fog cardstock.

My background was created using the Snowflake Burst Pinpoint plate and splattering that with some silver acrylic ink. I adhered the frame to the panel with foam tape and secured the leaves and flowers to the frame with liquid glue.

The sentiment was added with glue, as well as the red gems for a touch of sparkly! That does it for this project. Don’t forget to head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire DieCember release. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Pink Poinsettia

Hi Friends, and thanks so much for joining me! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Layering Pine Sprigs from Simon’s latest release, And Everything Nice. Let’s get into the details for this one, and a little back story of how it came about.

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

I began this project by die cutting the sprigs a bunch of times from Fern and Forest cardstock. I assembled the pieces and set them aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card. I die cut the sunflower from pink cardstock three times and did some ink blending using Carnation ink. I cut the center of the flower from Green Apple cardstock and assembled all of those pieces together. For some interest and shine, I added some green gems to the center.

Now for the back story .. I had all of the assembled pin sprigs on my desk when I received a phone call from my daughter, so I sat playing with them and moving them around when they ended up in this starburst pattern and that’s how this particular design came to be. I had originally planned on just having them here and there around the flower, but I like this better! I die cut the Acorn Bundle from Desert Storm and chocolate and ink blended that using Mocha ink.

My background was created using the Snowflake Burst Pinpoint Plate and I adhered the sprigs in place using liquid glue, while the flower and acorns were adhered with foam tape. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black and heat set using clear embossing powder. It was trimmed out using the coordinating die cut three times for a stacked sentiment. That was also added using foam strips to finish up.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it! I know this is technically a sunflower die cut, but I thought it was fine to use it as a poinsettia. What do you think? Don’t forget to check out the entire And Everything Nice release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Holiday Florals

Hello Friends and welcome back! There’s a super fun Instagram Hop happening today, so you’ll want to check that out and comment along the hop for your chance to win a $25 gift card. My project is featuring the new Holiday Duo paired with some florals, because we all know that I love florals! Let’s go ahead and run through the details!

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

I began this project by die cutting the Rustic Layering Flower and the flowers from the Fine Floral Stem from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also die cut the Etched Berry Branch and the Arching Spruce Sprig from Green Apple, Fern and Forest cardstock colors. The ink blending on the flowers uses Brick, Bubblegum and Peony inks, while some of the leaves use Field ink.

Once I was done with all of the ink blending and assembling the flowers, I worked on the background, which was created using the Faceted Snowflakes Embossing Folder and the A2 Scalloped Rectangles. I die cut the joy sentiment once from Red Matte Metallic cardstock and twice from red cardstock, adhering all of those together for a stacked sentiment.

I adhered my background panel to the card base and began adhering the leaves in place first using liquid glue. The smaller flowers were glued in place, and the larger flowers were adhered with foam tape. The sentiment was added along with some red gems to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to join the Instagram Hop for your chance to win a gift card! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Floral Love & Hugs

Hello Friends and welcome back! I hope you’re enjoying STAMPtember so far! Today’s post is featuring the new Stitched Flowers Embossing Folder, 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 embossing a panel of black cardstock in the folder and trimming it down slightly smaller than an A2 card. I then used these super awesome metallic rub-ons to add the gold color to the panel using my finger. There are lots of fun colors in this palette, and I really want to try another one in a different color.

Once I was done with the rub-ons, I die cut the sentiment once from black glossy cardstock, once from black and once from a scrap of cardstock that would coordinate with the metallic. I also cut the shadow portion twice and stacked all of those together.

My panel was adhered to a black panel for contrast, the sentiment was adhered using foam strips and some black gems were added to the centers of the flowers to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to head over to Simon’s website to check out the entire STAMPtember release, and stay tuned for tomorrow as we are having a huge blog celebration! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Hello Sunflower

Hello Friends, and welcome to STAMPtember! Have you had a chance to check out the entire STAMPtember release yet? I’d love to know your favorites in the comments! Stay tuned for a huge blog party taking place tomorrow! I really had fun making this card, which uses the new Sunflower Dreams stamp paired with some other leaves. Let’s go through the details!

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

I began this project by stamping the Sunflower Dreams onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using clear embossing powder. I then pulled out my watercolors and painted the main flower only. Once I was done with the painting, I went back in and added some details using colored pencils, Copic markers and a Copic Multiliner pen. Because I only wanted the larger flower, I set out on the tedious task of fussy cutting.

I then die cut the Abundant Leaves several times from Neenah, as well as gold cardstock, and I cut the center of the flower from the Autumn Sunflower set. I went ahead and ink blended the green leaves using Sprout, Field and Surf inks. The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and twice from the dark green cardstock to create a stacked sentiment.

The forest green background was gold splattered before adding the other elements. The gold leaves were added first, with the green leaves being offset slightly. The sunflower was added using foam tape, as was that extra sunflower center that was cut. The sentiment was adhered directly to the card panel using liquid glue to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you like it! I do love the contrast of the background with the flower and leaves. Don’t forget to check out the entire STAMPtember release, and stay tuned all month for lots of surprises! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Foliage Swag

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! Today’s project is featuring several new products from the Spellbinders August releases. I had a lot of fun creating this swag, so 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 die cutting the Christmas Foliage from Crimson, Fern and gold cardstock. I will mention that this leaf was cut multiple times to achieve this full look. I did some ink blending Lush Forest and Brick inks. Once I was done with that, I assembled the flowers and white splattered the leaves and added “ice” using glue and clear glitter.

The background panel was created using the new Bow & Bell Scallop Frame along with some gold splatter. I cut the Merry sentiment once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and adhered all of those together for that stacked sentiment that we all love.

The panel was adhered to the card base, the leaves were glued in place, as were the flowers and the sentiment.

It was a lot of die cutting, but I’m quite happy with the end project. It’s hard for me to work on holiday cards this early in the year, but I didn’t mind this one, because I think it came out so pretty. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Here’s my second card featuring the super cute Mr. Snappy, from @simonsaysstamp Always There release, doing his grilling thang! 🔥 Together by Design is our monthly collab where a group of designers all create with products from the same featured brand/designer, each adding their own creative twist. Tap the tags below to see every project and meet the designers. Happiest Saturday, Friends! I hope everyone is having an awesome day so far! I created this black out card the other day, which features the new Peony and Bells Embossing Folder from the @simonsaysstamp Always There release. I really enjoy this technique because it’s not about being perfect! Being perfect is cool and all, but perfection rarely works out in my experience. You can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. Enjoy your day! Hello again! I’m back with another project featuring the new Mr. Snappy set from @simonsaysstamp latest release, Always There. This was a relatively quick coloring session with the image being added to the card with an action wobbler! My first time using one of those! Hope everyone is having a great Friday!
