Spellbinders Seasonal Wreath

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the Seasonal Wreath Foliage from Spellbinders and Suzanne Hue. It’s also featuring the new Linen 3D Embossing Folder, so 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 leaves a bunch of times from Waterfall cardstock, while also cutting the berries from Crimson cardstock. I did some ink blending on the leaves using Surf ink and then adhered the berries to the leaves.

The background was created using the new Linen 3D Embossing Folder and some gold splatter. The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and three times from Neenah, while the shadow portion was cut twice. All of those layers were adhered together for a stacked sentiment.

The background was adhered to the card base, and then I began adhering the leaves in place. Once those were all in place, I added the sentiment using foam strips for some added dimension.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful 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!

Simon Says Stamp Geometric Hello

Hello Crafty Friend and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Mid Century Elemental Plate from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. I actually made several cards using this plate, but I think one is my favorite! Let’s run through the details!

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

I began this project by ink blending a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Seafoam and Lilac inks. I then ran the panel and plate through the die cutting machine, trying to keep the pieces in tact as much as possible. I placed some Press n Seal on the front of the panel and placed small pieces of foam tape on the back of the pieces.

I then removed the negative frame piece and placed that, along with the card base in the corner of the Misti to help with placement. I removed the backing from the foam tape and adhered the pieces to the card base and once again removed the negative frame piece when I was done.

The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock, twice from Neenah, while the shadow portion was cut twice. Those were all adhered together and glued to the front of the card to finish up.

That does it for this project. I love the soft blend that I was able to get on this project, and the gold sentiment went perfectly! Don’t forget to check out the entire Happy Camper release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and have an awesome day!

Spellbinders Falling Leaves

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Thanks for joining me to check out today’s project featuring the new Falling Leaves from Spellbinders and Kelly Bangs. This was a fun project, so 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 grabbing a panel of watercolor paper and some Simon inks. The colors that I chose to use were Guava, Honey, Pearfection and Clay. The process basically involved ink smooshing, using one color at a time. I smooshed the ink pad onto my glass mat and spritzed it with water, and laid the paper into the puddle. I repeated this process with each color, until I was satisfied and until my panel was covered. Once done with the inks, I dried the panel using the low setting on my heat tool.

I went ahead and die cut the leaves from the panel, die cut the stems from Peridot and Green Apple cardstock, and die cut the acorns from Desert Storm. I adhered the stems to some of the leaves and did some ink blending on the acorns using Gingerbread and Mocha inks. I assembled the acorns, added some detail with a brown colored pencil and set everything aside while I figured out the background.

The background was created using the Nested Postage Labels & Tag set, along with the Scribbled Letter Embossing Folder. I gold splattered the background, as well as some of the leaves to tie everything together. The sentiment was created using the new Documenting Labels set.

The background was adhered to the card base and then I began adhering to the leaves, tucking them in around the acorns. The acorns were adhered using foam tape, and the sentiment was secured with liquid glue to finish up.

That does it for this card. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I really love how these leaves turned out! I still have some of my ink smooshed panel left, so I might have to create another card! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Fun With Friends

Hey There, and welcome back! I’ve done a couple of cutesy cards lately, and here is my second one featuring the Cute Campers set from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. Let’s go ahead and go through the deets!

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

I began this project by stamping all of my elements using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting them with clear embossing powder. I then used way too many Copic Markers to color in all of my images! I’ll list those at the bottom of this post, to save space and time.

Once all of the coloring was complete, I fussy cut the images out. There are coordinating dies for this set to make things easier, but I didn’t have those. My background panel was created using a deckle edge die cut and some ink blending with Sky, Dusk, Night, Sunbeam and Black inks. I did add some white splatter on the panel to mimic stars for some added interest.

The tent, trees and camper element were adhered directly to the panel with liquid glue, because I wanted them to appear more in the background, while the critters, fire and sentiment were adhered with foam tape. The panel was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

That’s it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Cutesy cards really aren’t in my wheelhouse, but I really enjoyed creating this scene! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day, friends!

Simon Says Stamp I Love You Dual Diamonds

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back to my blog! I’m back today with a card featuring the new Dual Diamonds from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. This card is also featuring the new ilysm stamp and die set, so 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 ink blending a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Seafoam and Heather inks. I then ran the panel and die through the machine, being careful to keep the pieces in place. I went ahead and placed some Press n Seal to the front of the panel and added pieces of foam tape to the back of the diamonds.

I pulled the negative frame portion from the Press n Seal and placed that, along with my card base into the corner of the Misti. Once I removed the backing from the foam tape, I lined up the diamonds with the guide piece in the Misti. I could then carefully remove the negative frame piece, and all of my diamonds are perfectly lined up!

I die cut the ilysm sentiment once from black glossy cardstock and twice from black cardstock, while cutting the shadow portion twice from Neenah. All of those were adhered together and glued directly to the card. The sub sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set with Detail White Embossing Powder, trimmed down and adhered with foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I do love a great ink blended panel! Don’t forget to check out the entire Happy Camper release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Merry Floral

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring several new products from the Spellbinders August releases. It’s hard for me to think about holiday cards in August, but I really enjoyed making this card, especially with all of the glitter and splatter. Let’s run through 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 Christmas Foliage from Crimson, Poppy, Fern, Forest and gold cardstock. I did some ink blending on the flowers using Brick ink, and used Lush Forest ink on the greenery. Once I was done with the ink blending, I assembled the flowers, splattered white acrylic ink on all of the pieces and then added sparkly glitter using some glue that dries clear. I thought all of the pieces came out really pretty with the “icy” look.

I die cut the Bow & Bell Scallop Frame from Forest cardstock and white splattered that as well. I wondered if I had too much splatter, but then just decided to go with it! I also cut the Merry sentiment from Crimson three times and adhered all of those together for a stacked sentiment.

I secured the panel to the card base and then began adhering the leaves first, followed by the flowers. The sentiment was the last addition to finish up this project.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Don’t forget to head over to the Spellbinders website to check out all of the August releases! Thanks again for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Nesting Bird

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Fun Birdie from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. Let’s get right into 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 bird pieces from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some ink blending using Surf, Ocean, Mist, Heather and Black inks. Once done with the ink blending, I assembled the bird using liquid glue, adding a black gem for the eye.

Next, I cut the Rustic Nest from dark brown and Desert Storm cardstock, adhering the pieces together, tucking in the twigs on the side. The background panel was created by cutting it with a deckle edge die, smooshing some Seafoam ink onto my glass mat and using a paper towel inside a ziplock bag to tap the color onto the panel. This is a technique that Cathy Zielske uses, and it works really well!

I decided on the nest placement and stamped the sentiment directly on the panel using VersaFine Onyx Ink and heat set that using clear embossing powder. The nest was glued to the panel and the bird was glued inside the nest. The panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this one! Head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire Happy Camper release. Thanks again for joining me, and don’t forget to stay awesome, friend!

Simon Says Stamp Clean and Simple Wildflower

Welcome back, Friends! Today’s post is a clean and simple design, which is hard for me sometimes. It’s once again featuring the Delicate Wildflowers from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. Let’s go into the details.

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

I began by die cutting the wildflowers from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some light ink blending using Honey, Pearfection and Gravel inks. Once done with that, I assembled the pieces of the flower.

My background was created using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and gold splattered before gluing the stem in place. The flower and sentiment, which is from the Reverse I See You EZ Strips, were adhered with foam strips. The panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape to finish up.

Like I said, a super simple card for today. Thanks again for stopping by, and don’t forget to check out the entire Friend Like You release. Have yourself a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Hummingbird Hugs

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Brilliant Hummingbird from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. Let’s 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 Brilliant Hummingbird, the Delicate Wildflowers and the Dainty Floral Vine all from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I went ahead and pulled Heather, Honey, Pearfection, Seafoam and Gravel inks to do all of the ink blending on these elements. Once I was done, I assembled the hummingbird and flowers and set those aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

I used the new A7 Rectangles and cut a panel of Neenah that got gold splattered. I also used two of the rectangles to cut a gold frame that would go around the outside of splattered panel that I just cut. I glued the gold frame in place and then began gluing the leaves in place.

The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed that out three times for a stacked sentiment. The sentiment, flowers and hummingbird were adhered using foam strips for some added dimension and some gold pearls were added for some shine to finish up.

That does it for this project! I don’t often enjoy making A7 cards, but sometimes the extra space is nice. I hope you have an awesome day, and don’t forget to check out the entire Friend Like You release.
