Spellbinders Just A Note Daisies

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Here’s another project featuring the Yana’s Daisies from the Spellbinders April releases. Let’s get right into the details, shall we?

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 daisies once from Neenah 110lb cardstock and once from gold cardstock. I also cut the base layer from Neenah as well for the assembly. While the white petals were still in place, I did some ink blending on those using Morning and Heather inks.

I adhered the gold outline portion to the base layer using liquid glue, and then adhered the ink blended petals in place, along with the gold centers. The sentiment, which is from the Crafty Hugs Sentiments, was gold foiled onto Neenah and trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment look.

My background panel was created using the Nested Postage Labels & Tag, and then splattered with gold acrylic ink. This panel was adhered to the card base, the daisies were adhered using foam tape and the sentiment was adhered using foam strips. I decided that I needed some additional leaves and cut those from the Club Blooms set using Neenah and gold cardstock. I added some clear drops to finish up this project.

I hope you enjoyed this one! The Yana’s Daisies products are super gorgeous and if you haven’t checked them out, I do encourage you to do so! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Bold Daisy Trio

Hello Friends and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Daisy Trio and Crafty Hugs Sentiments from the Spellbinders April releases! Let’s not waste time and 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 adding BetterPress Black ink to the Daisy Trio BetterPress Plate and running that through the Platinum Six. I did have to repeat this process several times to get a good dark impression. Once satisfied with the black, I used the coordinating stencils to add color to the daisies using Honey, Citrine, Guava, Sprout and Field inks.

This panel was then trimmed down using the Nested Postage Labels & Tag set, and adhered to the card base using foam tape. The sentiment, which is from the new Crafty Hugs Sentiments set, was gold foiled onto black cardstock and trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment. This was secured with liquid glue, along with some Gold Metallic Pearls for a little bit of shine.

That does it for this project! I do love a dark card sometimes! I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Spellbinders Birthday Daisies

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Spellbinders April releases are live and I’m back again today with another project featuring Yana’s Daisies. I previously posted a project that used just the petals from this project, so you’ll have to check that out. Let’s go ahead and get into the details, shall we?

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 Yana’s Daisies several times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I knew that I wanted to use just the outline for this project, so I carefully trimmed the leaves off of the daisies. Once I was done with my cutting, I splattered the daisy outlines with black acrylic ink.

My background was created using Gravel cardstock along with the Nestled Postage Labels & Tag set. I did not want to have to cut the daisies again to get black centers, so I just used a black ink pad for that. I began adhering the daisy clusters with liquid glue, filling in all of the spaces and trimming off the excess. The sentiment was silver foiled onto black cardstock and trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment.

The gray panel was adhered to a black panel, the sentiment was adhered using foam strips, the centers were added in place and clear drops were added 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 all of the April releases over the Spellbinders webpage. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous 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!

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!

Simon Says Stamp Thank You Blossom

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back with a project featuring the new Thank You Basics from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. Let’s go ahead and go through the details for this one.

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

I began this project by die cutting the Elegant Blossom Branch from Neenah 110lb cardstock and ink blending the pieces using Guava, Limelicious and Pearfection inks. I did cut the stem portion two additional times and adhered those together, along with the pieces of the flowers with liquid glue.

The background was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames, which is one of my favorites, and then splattered using gold acrylic ink. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Thank You Basics set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. The panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape, the stem was glued in place and the flowers were adhered with additional pieces of foam tape. To finish up, I added a few clear drops for some shine.

That does it for this one! I really love the clean and simple look of this card. Clean and simple doesn’t always come easy for me, so I do enjoy when an idea comes together! Don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Pinkfresh Dark Floral Beauty

Hello Crafty Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring some relatively new Pinkfresh goodies. I have a problem .. I purchase Pinkfresh products, and then I never use them, so I’m trying to do something about that! With that being said, I love the pastel, floral vibe of Pinkfresh, but I wanted to try my hand at a dark Pinkfresh card. Let me know what you think in the comments. Let’s go ahead and run through the details for this project!

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

Ok, so I knew I wanted dark colors, but I didn’t want to go my usual route of black and grays, so I opted for blues and gold. I began by gold foiling the Interlaced Diamond Press Plate onto Indigo cardstock and used the coordinating die to trim it out. I also cut one from black and adhered those together using liquid glue. My next step was to cut the Fresh Florals from Partly Cloudy cardstock. This is an older Spellbinders cardstock, and I think the comparable new ColorWheel color would be Malibu.

Once all of the florals and leaves were cut, I did some ink blending on the flowers using Stargazer ink. I went pretty heavy handed as I wanted the flowers to match the indigo. After I was done ink blending, I decided that it might be pretty to add a layer of gold to everything, so I cut the Fresh Florals again from gold cardstock. I adhered the blue flowers to the gold flowers using foam squares, because I wanted to be able to see the underlying layer. I then assembled the rest of the flowers with liquid glue.

I gold foiled the sentiment, which is from the Favorite Things set, onto the same indigo cardstock and used the coordinating die to trim it out twice. Before beginning the assembly of the card, I cut a panel of the indigo and gold splattered that to add a bit of background interest.

The Interlaced Diamonds was adhered first and then I began adhering the leaves. I glued the gold leaves in place and then glued the blue leaves atop those but slightly off center. I then glued the flowers in place and adhered the sentiment in the center using foam strips. To finish up, I added gold metallic pearls to the centers of the flowers.

That does it for this project! So, how do you feel about a dark Pinkfresh card? Don’t get me wrong, I do love me some pastel colors too, but I needed to try this. I appreciate you swinging by to check out this project, and I hope you have a wonderful day! Stay awesome, friend!

Pinkfresh Blooming Leafy Lattice

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I recently received my Pinkfresh order with goodies from the March release, and I found some time to play! This project is featuring the new Blooming Grace Washi Tape and the Leafy Lattice Press Plate. Let’s not waste time and 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 smoothing out a panel of the washi tape onto Neenah 110lb cardstock, and using the coordinating die to trim those pieces out. I then went ahead and gold foiled the Leafy Lattice and trimmed that out with coordinating die as well. I wanted a background for all of my elements, so I used the Sparkling Diamonds die cut. I haven’t been able to locate this die cut on the Pinkfresh website, so I’m not sure if it has been discontinued. But, I thought it worked really well with the way I wanted to orient the lattice.

My next step was to play around with the placement of everything, and before adhering anything, I did some light ink blending on the background panel using Peony ink. I placed foam strips on the back of the lattice and adhered that to my panel first. I decided that I needed some additional green leaves, so I used the Fresh Florals die and ink blended those leaves using Fresh Pear and Olive inks.

The sentiment was already in my stash, and that is from the Here For You Sentiments Press Plate, which I had gold foiled as well. I went ahead and adhered the sentiment in the center using the same foam strips, glued the green leaves in place, and then adhered the washi tape pieces, again with foam strips. To finish up, I added some Gold Metallic Pearls.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. If you’ve never tried the Pinkfresh washi tapes, I definitely encourage you to give it a try! They are simple to use, and yield beautiful card results! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine Blog Hop – Day 1

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Today I’m super excited to be participating in the SSS Blog Hop to celebrate their latest release, Rain or Shine! Hop along with us and comment on each post for your chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Simon store! Simon will be giving away a gift certificate to one lucky commenter from each stop along the way! I’ll list the participants of the Hop at the bottom of my post for your convenience. And, stay tuned for the Blog Hop Day 2 tomorrow for more inspiration and chances to win! My project for today is featuring the new Snowbell Bouquet in a shadow frame. I really enjoy creating shadow frames as a little decorative element for your home or your craft room or anywhere, really. 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 Snowbells LOTS of times from Neenah 110lb cardstock and Green Apple cardstock. Once everything was cut, I did some light ink blending on the flowers using Gravel ink and on the stems and leaves using Fairway and Field ink.

I assembled the flowers and adhered them to the stems and cut a background panel that would fit inside the frame from dark green cardstock. I wanted a little more interest, so I splattered it with yellow spray. I chose that one because I knew that it would show up on dark cardstock.

The sentiment was created using the Just Breathe set. I stamped it onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set it using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it out with the coordinating die four times to achieve that stacked look.

When the panel dried, I arranged the flowers and sentiment in a way that I was satisfied with and then began adhering them with liquid glue. The sentiment was added with foam tape for added dimension. Once the flowers and sentiment were in their places, I went back and added the leaves here and there to fill in.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Have you tried making a shadow frame? I always end up making mine to send to Simon headquarters, and I really need to make one for myself one of these days! Don’t forget to join the Blog Hop and comment along the way for your chance to win a gift certificate! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a great day!

Happy Happy Friday! I recently got the Artful Palette set from @simonsaysstamp and had to get busy creating a few cards using various patterned papers from my hoarding stash! I can’t be the only one that hoards patterned papers, right?!? These cards were quite fun to make, and I’m considering making a few more! I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend! I have so many stamp sets that I haven’t used, and I’ve been trying to make my way through some of them! Today’s project is featuring one of those sets, it’s the Oh, Shiitake set from @simonsaysstamp. An oldie but goodie for sure! I love the addition of the stencil for this product suite, because sometimes I just don’t feel like coloring! Happy Monday, Friends! Today’s post is featuring the Tiny Flora Embossing Folder from @simonsaysstamp Beautiful Moments release. I embossed the panel onto glossy cardstock and used to brayer to add the pink. In the process of brayering, the bottom portion of my panel had ink splotches that I didn’t like, so I just ripped it off and wet with what I had. Definitely a case of making something good out of something bad. I hope you all have a fabulous day! It’s Friday and I’m back with more cards featuring the Groovy Daisies from @simonsaysstamp. Catch all of the deets over on my blog at redsas.co. Hope you all have a great day and a fabulous weekend! Happiest Wednesday to you! Today’s project is featuring the new Scattered Leaves stencil from @simonsaysstamp latest release, Beautiful Moments. I love leaf stencils, because they’re so versatile! You can make spring leaves, fall leaves, leaves of unexpected colors, etc. if you’d like to check out more details, you can head on over to my blog at redsas.co. Hope you have a fabulous day! Today I’m participating in a Simon Says Stamp Instagram hop, and we’re featuring the Beautiful Moments release! To start from the beginning of the hop, head to @simonsaysstamp!

Simon Says Stamp Floral Harlequin Thank You

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Pepita Background from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. This project is also featuring the new Thank You Basics set, which is a staple to have in your stash! Let’s go ahead and go through the details for this one.

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

I began this project by stamping the Pepita Background onto a black panel using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I repeated that process for a second time to get a smoother embossed finish. I think the black on black with the glossy pattern is just amazing! I wanted this panel to be just smaller than my card base, so I made some marks and began cutting around the design. I absolutely love the edging of the panel!

I went ahead and splattered my card base with black ink and set that aside to dry while I worked on the other elements. I die cut the Autumn Sunflower twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock, which gave me four pieces. I also die cut the Privet Branch twice from Neenah, and cut the Winsome branch a couple of times from black cardstock.

I did some ink blending on the flower using Bubblegum and Carnation inks. I was a bit more heavy handed on the bottom layer and lighter on the top layers. The leaves were ink blended using Celery, Pearfection and Seafoam inks. I love adding Seafoam to green ink blending as I think it adds a nice little pop of color. I assembled the flower and decided to go back and cut the center from black cardstock to bring some cohesiveness.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from the new Thank You Basics set, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it down so that it would fit nicely in the center of my flower. The background panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, and I began adhering the green leaves first with liquid glue. Next, I adhered the black leaves, the flower and the sentiment. To finish up, I added a few clear drops.

This card has so much dimension, and I love it! I think it would have been pretty with an aqua colored flower as well, or any color of flower! I hope you enjoyed this project, as I sure did! Don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day!
