Simon Says Stamp Happy Daisy Frame

Hey There Friend! Welcome back to my blog! So glad you stopped by to check out today’s project featuring the Daisy Frame stamp and stencil combo from Simon’s latest release, Every Happiness. 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 stamping the Daisy Frame using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it with clear embossing powder. I was in a little bit of a color funk that day, so a friend suggested that I use Terra Cotta, Brick, Artichoke and Aegean, so that’s what I did, and I’m quite happy with the end result! Thanks Jean! After I was done with the ink blending, I used the new Chunky Ovals to trim out the stamped image. I should also add that I colored the tiny yellow flowers with a Copic marker.

I used a larger oval to cut a black mat for a bit of contrast. I’m sure there are die cuts for this stamp set, but I did not receive those and had to improvise with what I had. The sentiment was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder. It was then trimmed out several times with the coordinating die.

My background was created using the new Bedazzled Embossing Folder on a panel of Desert Storm cardstock. My stamped image got a dose of gold splatter before adhering all of the layers together. The sentiment was added, as well as some gold metallic pearls to finish up.

That does it for this project! Lots of new products used on this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you’ll swing by and check out the entire Every Happiness release! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Flower Puff Thanks

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! Today’s project is featuring the new Flower Puff Embossing Folder, as well as the Paper Cut Word Mix 1. Once I figured out the elements that I wanted to use, this card came together pretty quickly. Let’s run through the details!

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

Like I said, once I figured out the elements, this one came together quickly. Now with that being said, I’m one of those people that can mull over elements for a REALLY long time! This is my downfall in card making! Do you do the same thing, or are you a quick crafter? Anyhoo, I began this project by embossing the folder onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock. I then used Aspen, Sage, Sky, Dusk and Sunbeam to do the ink blending. That seems like a lot of colors, and I won’t disagree with you there! I was having an issue because I wasn’t loving my blend. To correct this, I ended up blending some green over the blue area and blending some of the blue over the green area. That seemed to smooth it out enough for me to move on.

I die cut the Lush Leaves from black cardstock, and cut some flowers from the Hanging Leaf Ring set from Matte Silver cardstock. The sentiment was also cut from the same silver and black cardstock, as was the shadow portion. Before proceeding, I used a brayer and added some white ink to the raised portions of the panel, splattered it with some blue ink, as well as some silver ink.

The leaves and flowers were glued in place and the sentiment was added using foam tape. To finish up, I did add some black gems to the centers of the flowers.

That finishes up this project! Don’t forget to check out the entire Every Happiness release! I appreciate you stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome 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!

Spellbinders Dear Santa Floral Letter

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project! This one is featuring the Happy Post Envelope and Festive Floral Mix from the Spellbinders Dear Santa collection. I always enjoy working with florals from Spellbinders, and this project was no exception! 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 the project by die cutting my florals from Chiffon cardstock, and the various leaves from Sage and Forest cardstock. The envelope elements and my background were cut from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I did some ink blending on the flowers and leaves using Cherry Blossom and Pine inks. Once that step was complete, I assembled the flowers and set those aside.

My background panel was cut using the Nested Postage Labels and Tag and then embossed using the Scribbled Letter Embossing Folder. I thought that folder would pair well with the die cut letter that would be tucked into the envelope. Before adhering the background to the card base, I did give it a gold splatter treatment. At this point, I went ahead and cut the heart and the Noel sentiment from gold cardstock. The sentiment was also cut several times from Neenah so that it would be a bit more sturdy.

The envelope was assembled and adhered to the panel, and I began tucking in the flowers and leaves adhering those with liquid glue. The gold heart and sentiment were then added to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I’m really loving this color palette, and might need to try it again on a different project! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have yourself a wonderful day!

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 Best Fish

Hello and welcome back! Today’s post is featuring the new Fun Fish Embossing Folder and cutting dies from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. To be honest, I was having a hard time getting any good ideas with the project. I tried doing the “blackout” technique twice and those looked terrible, so rather than just throw the panel away, I decided that I would just do die cutting to cover it all up! Let’s go through the details!

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

I began by embossing the panel with the folder and using Night ink for the “blackout,” because I wanted it to be blue like the ocean, obviously. I did end up splattering the panel with a little water to get that blotchiness that you see, as well as some white splatter. Before doing all of the fish die cutting, I did try some ink blending on the fish, but it just was not working out, like I said.

I die cut the fish, popped them into the folder, embossed them and then did the ink blending on those using Carnation, Zest, Sprout and Seafoam inks. Once they were all done, I glued them into their coordinating spots on the panel, trimming off the excess. The panel was then adhered to a black panel before being adhered to the card base.

The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark Ink, heat set using white embossing powder and trimmed out several times. The sentiment was adhered using foam tape, and I added tiny black gems for the eyes of the fish to finish up.

That does it for this project! I was really worried that I had wasted this panel, but am proud of myself for pulling something together! Has that ever happened to you? You’re ready to throw it in the trash, but try one last ditch effort and it ends up working out? Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Simon Says Stamp Glowing Daisies

Welcome back to my blog! Today’s project is featuring the Dewdrop Daisy from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. I had seen a photograph of a flower on Instagram that had these stunning colors, and I decided that I was going to try to recreate it with some ink blending! 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 by die cutting a bunch of times from Neenah cardstock. The flower has two layers when assembled, but I opted to add an additional layer for more fullness. The ink colors that I used for the flowers were Carnation, Heather and Morning. I started with the Carnation in the center of each piece and then added the Heather just outside of that, and then added the Morning on the ends of the petals. Once done with that ink blending, I glued the pieces together and added the black center piece using foam tape.

My background was created using a plum colored cardstock that was silver splattered before adding the Whirl Diamond Plate that was cut from Moonflower cardstock. If there are flowers, you know that I have to have lots of leaves! I die cut the Budding Branches several times from Lavender cardstock, as well as from matte silver cardstock. The edges of the lavender leaves were ink blended with some Iris ink for some depth and dimension.

I began the assembly by arranging the flowers and securing the purple leaves first and then the silver leaves, just slightly offset so that you could get a glimpse of everything. The flowers were secured with foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment was stamped onto the same plum cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using silver embossing powder. It was trimmed out several times, adhered together and then secured to the card front. Because the Budding Branches have spaces for “buds,” I always like adding embellishments there. I added purple crystals to the purple “buds” and matte silver pearls to the silver “buds” to finish up.

That does it for this beauty! When I showed my friend this card, her reply was, “those flowers are glowing,” hence the name of the post! I thought this was a really gorgeous color combination and enjoy putting this card together. Don’t forget to check out the entire Shine On release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Amazing Floral

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I recently ordered the Wild & Free Flowers product suite and promptly made a card with it using some darker colors. 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 stamping one of the florals onto a panel of Neenah cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it with clear embossing powder. I then used the stencils to do some ink blending using Seafoam, Surf, Ocean, Sprout, Fairway and Field. Once that was complete, I used the coordinating dies to trim out the image.

I knew that I wanted a dark background, so I pulled some Forest cardstock and cut a panel of that using the Sparkler Scallop Frames with a good dose of white splatter. I also cut another panel of Forest cardstock for the other background. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark Ink, heat set using white embossing powder and trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment.

The splattered background was adhered to the other Forest background using foam tape for a bit of added dimension, while the flower was adhered using thin foam squares, and the sentiment was glued directly to the panel. I added some dew drops to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you like it! I really love working with darker colors, but don’t do it that often, so maybe I need to mix that in a bit more! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful 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!
