Simon Says Stamp Amazing Petals

Hey There, Crafty Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s post featuring the new Tissue Petal Stems from Simon’s Every Happiness release. I borrowed this set from a friend, but I might just have to add it to my cart, because I love how they turned out! Let’s run 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 floral pieces lots of times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. Like I said, I borrowed this from a friend and had no idea at the time how I would be using it, so I thought it best to just cut from white cardstock. I did some ink blending on the pieces using Cheeky, Zest, Honey and Cabbage. Once I was done with the ink blending, I went ahead and assembled the flowers.

The background panel was created using Teal Topaz cardstock along with the Crimped A2 Rectangles and some gold and white splatter. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink, heat set with white embossing powder and layered up. I glued my flowers in place, after much playing around with placement, and added the sentiment with foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this project! I really love yellowish orange flowers against the teal background! Have you checked out the Every Happiness release yet? I’d love to know your favorites! Until next time, have a fabulous day, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Together By Design Featuring CZ Design “Simple Ho”

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/product:  CZ Designs “Simple Ho”

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

I’ll start by saying that I chose this month’s product .. If you know me personally, you know that I’m quite churlish with a weird sense of humor. I will often use the term Ho as a funny greeting, or a funny term of endearment. I mean absolutely no disrespect when I’m using the term. While at CREATE this year with my friends, I saw this die cut hanging in the Holiday section and I jokingly said, “Wassup, Ho?” And things spiraled from there, using various sentiments that we saw with the word Ho at the end of it. Examples, You’re doing great, Ho. Sending love and hugs, Ho. You make everything better, Ho. You get the idea! Hence, Ho became our chosen product for this month’s design.

I recently purchased a bunch of 49 and Market products, to include rub-on transfers and various ephemera pieces, so I decided to put some of those to good use! However, in searching for these products online, it appears that it has sold it, which tends to be the case with the 49 and Market collections. My apologies on that. I began this project by die cutting a panel using the Nested Stitched Rectangles and adding some gold splatter, followed by some rub-on transfers.

I pulled some ephemera pieces that would match the colors of the rub-ons that I used. Next, I die cut the sentiments a bunch of times from black and gold cardstock, adhering all of those together for a very stacked sentiment. Unfortunately, it appears that the “sup” die cut has been discontinued, which is sad, because I really like it! I tore the edge of one piece of ephemera and secured it with liquid glue, along with the other pieces, while the sentiments were adhered using foam tape. I felt some black butterflies were in order, so I cut and added a few of those to finish up.

I hope that if you’re seeing this card, you are finding humor and not finding offense, because it really is just my weird sense of humor. I hope you’ll check out the posts from my friends to see how their creative juices flowed using the say die cut. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have yourself a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp You Are The Best Floral

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! The latest Simon release, Every Happiness, is live and I’m back with a project featuring the Chunky Ovals. This is a great essential set to add to your stash, as it provides another layer of color, dimension or texture to whatever project you might be working on! Let’s go ahead and run 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 working on the flowers and leaves first. I die cut the Rustic Layering Flower a few times from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some ink blending on the pieces using Lilac, Periwinkle, Seafoam and Ocean. I did cut the centers from black cardstock before assembling the pieces together.

The Chunky Oval was cut, and I used the Bouquets set to stamp a subtle background using grey ink. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink, heat set using clear embossing powder and trimmed out several times with the coordinating die cut.

The card base was black splattered before adhering the oval in place. The flowers and leaves were secured in place using liquid glue, as were some Surf Dazzling Gems, and the sentiment was added with foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you’ll stop by the Simon website to check out the entire Every Happiness release! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Oak Leaf

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Oak Leaf stencils and die cut from Simon’s latest release, Every Happiness. I decided to give my oak leaf a rainbow spin, 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.

For this project, I decided that I didn’t want a boring, green leaf, so I pulled the rainbow colors for the ink blend on this one! The colors used were Bubblegum, Sweets, Sunbeam, Seafoam, Surf, Lilac and Orchid. Once done with the ink blending, I used the coordinating die cut to trim it out along with a black one. Those were adhered together using foam tape to create a shadow for the leaf.

My sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder. It was trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment. The background panel was cut using the Nested Stitched Rectangles and some black splatter was added before adhering the strip of PET Tape along the side. The panel was adhered to a black layer for contrast, the leaf was added and the sentiment was glued in place to finish up this project.

Another project complete! This has been a fun release to play with! I hope you’ll swing by and check out the entire Every Happiness release! Until next time, have a great day and stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Grungy Dewdrop Daisy

Hi Friends! Thanks for joining me! Today’s project is featuring the new Dewdrop Daisy from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. I had this background lying around from a previous project, and I thought that I could give the daisy a grungy feel for all of these components to work together! Let’s go through the deets!

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

As I said, I already had this background panel, which was created using Distress Oxide Sprays, inks and paint. I die cut the panel using the Sparkler Scallop Frames and did some stamping, stenciling and splattering on it. The daisy was die cut from cream cardstock and ink blended using Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina, Walnut Stain and Peeled Paint.

My background panel was adhered to a black panel for contrast, the stem was glued in place, while the flower and sentiment were adhered with foam tape to finish up.

That’s it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Make sure to check out the entire Shine On release for a look at all of the new goodies! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Simon Says Stamp Friendly Butterflies

Welcome back crafty friends! So glad you stopped by to check out today’s project featuring the Dewpierce Butterfly once again. I’ve had so much fun creating with this die, and it’s probably getting about time to put it away for a little bit, and move on to something else! Anyway, let’s go ahead and run 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 butterflies from yellow and black cardstock and ink blended the edges using Honey ink. Those were assembled and set aside while I worked on the rest of the card. The background panel was actually a panel that I already had in my stash which had yellow splatter on it, so I just added some black splatter.

I die cut the filmstrip from black, added the PET Tape to the panel and then secured the filmstrip over the tape with liquid glue. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using gold embossing powder and trimmed out three times for a stacked sentiment.

The splattered panel was adhered to a black panel with foam tape for contrast, the sentiment was glued in place, as were the butterflies to finish up.

That does it for this project! Do you ever have panels lying around and feel a sense of accomplishment when you can finally find it a home?! That was my feeling with this one! And, I just love the butterflies AND the PET Tape. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Hello Butterflies

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I got myself into a grungy, creative mood, so I created another card featuring the Dewpierce Butterfly from Simon’s latest release, Always There. There’s quite a bit going on, so let’s jump right in to it!

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

I began by die cutting the butterfly once from pink, aqua and purple cardstock and die cutting the body from black. I did some ink blending on the edges of the butterflies using Carnation, Heather and Surf inks. Those were then assembled using liquid glue and set aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

I pulled a panel of watercolor paper and a water brush and loosely added those same inks to the panel I just smooshed the ink onto my glass mat and added it from there. No paints were involved, just ink pads. I dried the panel using my heat tool and then did some stamping using Archival Black ink and the Simon Crackle Background, as well as the Tim Holtz Professor 2 set. A healthy dose of black splatter was also added before distressing the edges of the paper.

Now, here’s the part that I’m not so happy with, but it is what it is. I pulled the Simon Large Chevron Stencil, which is discontinued, along with some Translucent Gloss Crackle Paste and applied that to my panel in three different areas. As far as I can tell, it did not crackle, it just added some clear gloss. I guess in hindsight, it would have been better to maybe use opaque crackle paste .. I’m not sure, I’ll have to try it again at some point.

Some PET Tape was added to one side of the panel for some added visual interest, as well as to bring all of the black elements together. I decided that I wanted some darker ink on the panel, so I pulled Sweets, Iris and Ocean inks. The same smooshing on the glass mat occurred, and I dabbed a plastic bag, with a wadded up paper towel inside, into some water and then into the ink and lightly smooshed that onto the panel. The butterflies needed a bit of splatter too, so I used those same darker inks and splattered those with a paintbrush before being adhered to the card with foam tape. A sentiment strip was added to the middle to finish up this project.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I’ll try a different paste next time to see if I get better results. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Cute Duckling

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s post is featuring the new Cute Duckling from Simon’s latest release, In My Heart. Let’s go ahead and run 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 pieces for the duckling from colored cardstock and adding some ink blending using Honey ink. I assembled the pieces and set that aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

The background was created using the A2 Postage Rectangles with some black splatter for added interest. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using white embossing powder and trimmed out several times for a stacked look. The panel was adhered to the card base, the sentiment was glued in place and the duckling was added with foam tape for added dimension.

That’s it for this one! A super quick, clean and simple card! Don’t forget to swing by and check out the entire In My Heart release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Amazing Scattered Leaves

Hello, Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Scattered Leaves stencil from Simon’s latest release, Beautiful Moments. Have you checked out the release yet? I’d love to know your favorites! Let’s get through the deets for this project, shall we?

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

I began this project by deciding on a color combo, which landed on Cabbage, Kale, Surf and Ocean. I used a Craft Tacky Mat to get my cardstock panel and first stencil situated. For the first stencil, I used the Cabbage and the Ocean inks, while using Kale for the second stencil. I trimmed the panel down using the new A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles and decided that I did not want this bright white panel. To remedy that, I did some light ink blending over the entire panel using the same Cabbage ink, mainly in the center, and using the Surf on the outer perimeter.

I die cut the You sentiment once from gold cardstock and twice from black cardstock, adhering all of those together for a stacked sentiment. The sub-sentiment was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder. Before adhering the sentiments to the panel, I used a gold chrome marker to go over some of the veins of the leaves for some added interest. The panel was adhered to a black panel, both sentiments were adhered using foam strips and some gold metallic pearls were added to finish up.

That does it for this one! A pretty simple project for sure, but I love the addition of the gold on the leaves! Don’t forget to check out the entire Beautiful Moments release, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Friend Floral

Hello Friends and welcome back! There’s a super fun Instagram Hop happening today to celebrate Simon’s latest release, Beautiful Moments. Be sure to head over there to check out all of the inspiration from the team! Comment along the hop for your chance to win a $25 gift card! My project for today is featuring several new products including the Beautiful Friend die, the Country Basket Bouquet and the Nested Stitched Rectangles. 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 flowers and leaves from the Country Basket Bouquet from various colors of cardstock from my stash. I then did some ink blending on those pieces before assembling the flowers. I’ll list the colors used at the bottom of this post for your convenience. The background was created using the Nested Stitched Rectangles and some gold splatter for a bit of added interest.

The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah to create a stacked sentiment. As a side note, I opted not to use the shadow portion of this die. I measured out the center and secured the sentiment in place with liquid glue, and then began adhering the florals and leaves in place. The larger flower in either corner was cut twice with a foam square in between those layers for some added dimension.

The entire panel was adhered to the card base with foam tape to finish up. I hope you like this project as much as I do. We all know that I love working with florals! Don’t forget to head over to Instagram to catch the hop! Who doesn’t love a chance to win a gift card, especially if it’s for craft supplies! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
