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!

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!

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!

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!

Spellbinders Floral Frame Grid

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by today! I’ve had the My Life in Pictures set from the Spellbinders March releases on my desk, and finally found time to play with it and I’m so happy with what I came up with! Let’s 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 die cutting the frame portion of the set a few times from Neenah 110lb cardstock and black cardstock. I poked out the little edge pieces from the white and left them in place on the black, and adhered the frames together with liquid glue. I also die cut the smile sentiment in the set once from gold, twice from Neenah and once from black cardstock and adhered all of those together, offsetting the black layer ever so slightly.

I wanted to create a grid type pattern, so I pulled out several floral sets that had some smaller die cuts in them. I also pulled a few colors of Spellbinders cardstock as well. I’ll list all of those supplies at the bottom of this post for your convenience. Once everything was cut, I did some light ink blending on the pieces using Guava, Gravel and Field inks. Once that was complete, I assembled the flowers and set those aside while I assembled the rest of the card.

For assembly, I cut a panel of Neenah slightly smaller than my card base and began adhering the frame pieces on a diagonal, trimming off the excess when complete. I then adhered the leaves in place and then secured the flowers with a mix of foam squares and liquid glue. The panel was adhered to the card base, the sentiment was glued directly in place and gold metallic pearls were added to finish up.

A relatively simple card design, but a little time consuming with all of the die cutting. I happen to love die cutting so I didn’t mind it all, and I really love how this card turned out! I appreciate you stopping by, and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day!

Spellbinders Floral Scribbled Letter

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! The Spellbinders March releases are available, and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Scribbled Letter Embossing Folder, along with the Holding Your Heart Sentiments BetterPress Plates. Can I just say right away that I absolutely love this embossing folder?! I love something that gives just a hint of texture but adds to the project! Let’s 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 pulling cardstock colors that I wanted to use, which were Blush, Dahlia, Waterfall, Teal Topaz, Peridot, Fern, Beeswax and Saffron. I did use some Neenah for the white flowers as well. Once the papers were pulled, I went to work die cutting the flowers and leaves from the Colorful Expressions Blooms.

Those pieces were then ink blended using Carnation, Field, Honey, Surf and Gravel inks before being assembled. I created the background using the Scribbled Letter folder and then lightly rubbed a gold ink pad across the raised side of the panel. The sentiment, which is from the new Holding Your Heart Sentiments BetterPress Plates, was gold foiled and trimmed down.

I adhered the background panel to my card base first and then secured all of the other pieces with liquid glue, beginning with the underneath pieces. I added gold metallic pearls to the one branch and the three white flowers before adding the sentiment with foam strips.

That does it for this project! You all know that I love florals, so I really enjoyed this project, and I’m sure that I’m going to get lots of use from this embossing folder! Don’t forget to check out all of the new March releases over on Spellbinders’ website. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

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!

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!

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!
