Spellbinders Daisy Birthday Wishes

Hello Friends and welcome back! I’m so glad you decided to join me for today’s project featuring the new Painted Daisy & Ladybugs from Spellbinders and Susan Tierney Cockburn. This daisy is so gorgeous and I had so much fun making it, and am so happy with this project! Let’s go ahead and go through the deets, 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 daisy pieces from Saffron and Black cardstock, while die cutting the leaves from Fern cardstock. I did some ink blending on the flower portions using Clay ink and Kale ink for the leaves. Before assembling the flower, I used the Sizzix Shaping Kit to soften the petals some. I did also die cut some other leaves from the Vivid Blooms set as well.

Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flower using liquid glue. The center portion of the flower did take some time, but I absolutely love the texture! The sentiment that was used is from the Making Me Smile Sentiments Hot Foil set and that was gold foiled onto black cardstock. I used the included die cut to trim it out along with two additional cuts for a stacked sentiment.

The background was created using the Nestled Postage Labels and Tag set and that was gold splattered before adhering it to the card base with foam tape. The leaves were adhered first, and then the flower. I glued the tiny sentiment right in the middle of the flower and added some Gold Metallic Pearls to one of the leaves to finish up.

A simple design for today’s card, but I love the way it turned out! I hope you enjoyed it as well. I’m always so happy working with florals! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day!

Spellbinders Vivid Script Hugs

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Eyelet Scallop Border, Vivid Script Sentiments and the Vivid Blooms sets from the Spellbinders latest January releases. Let’s go ahead and jump into 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 gold splattering a Neenah panel and then die cutting the Eyelet Scallop Border from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also went ahead and cut the flowers from the Vivid Blooms set from Waterfall and yellow cardstock. While I was cutting, I cut the hugs sentiment once from gold cardstock and three times from Neenah.

I ink blending the flowers a little bit with some Surf ink and assembled the pieces of the flowers, as well as the sentiment. I adhered the border to my splattered panel, adhered the flowers atop that and then adhered the sentiment just below that. The finished panel was then adhered to the card base with foam tape for added dimension.

Super simple card for today, but I’ve been in a clean and simple mode lately for some reason. That’s ok .. not every card has to be over the top! I hope you enjoyed it, and I’m so glad that you stopped by! Have yourself an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Masculine Outline Hearts

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! Today’s project is featuring the Outline Hearts Stencil from one of Simon’s latest releases, To Love. This is a super simple project, so let’s get right to it!

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

I began this project by deciding on a color scheme using a card from The Color Cubes. Once that was decided, I pulled some inks that best matched and those ended up being Dew, Mist, Cabbage and Sage. I used a Copic Multiliner to add heart doodles before trimming it down using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames.

The Love Ya sentiment was cut once from Black Glossy cardstock and twice from black cardstock, while the shadow was cut twice from Neenah 110. All of those pieces were adhered together before adding them to the heart panel using foam strips. This was then added to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! It was a quick and easy one, but I absolutely love this color scheme! Don’t forget to check out the To Love and To Be Loved release over on simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Spellbinders Wonderful Vivid Blooms

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! Today’s project is featuring the new Vivid Blooms set from Spellbinders January releases. I had used these florals on a previous project and had some left over, so of course I had to use them! Let’s 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 florals and leaves from Waterfall, Teal Topaz, Saffron, Cotton Candy and Green Apple cardstocks. I did some ink blending on those pieces using Carnation, Honey, Artichoke, Ocean and Surf inks. Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers and set them aside while I worked on the remainder of the card.

I used the Fluted Classics Rectangles to create a frame and then embossed the center portion using the Leafy Embossing Folder. For some added interest, I did splatter both of those with gold acrylic ink. The sentiment, which is from the You Are Everything Sentiments set, was gold foiled onto black cardstock and die cut three times for a stacked sentiment look.

For the assembly, I glued the frame and embossed panel to the card base and then adhered the leaves in place and then the florals. Two of the flowers were adhered with foam tape for some added dimension. The sentiment was added with foam strips, and to finish up, I added some Gold Metallic Pearls to one of the leaf stems.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Thanks again for joining me today, and I have you have an amazing day! Stay awesome, friend!

Simon Says Stamp Valentine Chocolates

Hello Friends and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Sweet Treats stamp and stencil combo. I kind of got on a short clean and simple kick this month, and today’s project falls right in line! Let’s get to the deets!

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

I began this project by stamping the chocolate box from the Sweet Treats set onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I then used the coordinating stencil to add the color using Gingerbread, Cocoa, Watermelon and Cherry inks.

Once the color was added, I trimmed out the box and added some pink and holographic hearts atop some of the chocolates for added interest. The background was created using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames along with a splatter from the Cherry ink pad. This was then adhered to the card base using foam tape, while the heart box was adhered using foam squares. To finish up, I glued the sentiment, which is from the Reverse Love Sentiment Strips, directly onto the heart.

That does it for this one! Again, a simple card, but it’s cute nonetheless. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Thanks again for hanging out with me, and I hope you have yourself a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Birthday Wishes

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! The January releases from Spellbinders are live, and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Ganache Gateau, Birthday Cheers and the Vivid Blooms! Don’t you love it when the vision in your mind translates well to an actual project?! Let’s go through the details for this one, 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 cutting the base layer of the cake using Cotton Candy cardstock, while cutting the frosting pieces from Neenah 110lb cardstock. There was quite a bit of floral cutting for this project and the cardstock colors that I used were Gold, Waterfall, Saffron, Peacock and Green Apple. Those will all be listed in the thumbnails below.

Once all of the floral die cutting was complete, I did some ink blending on the flowers using Bubblegum, Surf and Cabbage inks. The floral pieces were then assembled using liquid glue. Before adding anything to the cake, I did splatter it with gold acrylic ink for some added interest. I began the assembly with the leaves and flowers at the bottom of the cake, and then added the bottom icing piece.

I wanted to figure out the sentiment before adding the top pieces to the cake, so I die cut the support sticks five times from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and I die cut the ‘birthday wishes’ once from gold cardstock and four times from Neenah. All of those pieces were adhered together so that it would be sturdy.

I adhered the top icing pieces, the support sticks and then the flowers around those. Adding the flowers over the support sticks hid the bottom portion of those, which I wanted. My next step was to secure the sentiment in place. I wanted the card to be the shape of the cake, so I cut another piece of pink cardstock and scored it at 1/4″ and applied some Scor Tape to secure those together.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! In all honesty, this is my very first shaped card, and I kind of like it, so I’ll probably try it again at some point. Thanks for stopping by to hang out with me for a bit, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Simon Says Stamp More Than Chocolate

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back to my blog! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Sweet Treats Stamp and Stencil, along with the Groovy Love You More die cut. Let’s jump right into the details, shall we?

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

I began this project by stamping several of the elements from the Sweet Treats stamp set onto Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I then went to work adding color using the coordinating stencil set. The inks used were Gingerbread, Cocoa, Gravel, Seafoam, Surf, Watermelon and Cherry. The piece of candy was colored using Copic Markers BG10 and BG15. I also added a touch of shading on the cupcake using RV13.

Once all of the color was added, I trimmed them out. I did decide to add a touch of sparkle to the lollipop sprinkles using a Ranger Emboss It Pen and Simon Detail Sparkle Embossing Powder. I die cut the Groovy Love You More sentiment once from silver cardstock and cut the shadow portion once from Neenah and adhered those pieces together. I knew that I wanted to add the sub-sentiment, so I stamped that onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set it using Detail White Embossing Powder. The sentiment actually says ‘more than chocolate,’ but I trimmed off the ‘more’ part.

Now that I have all of the elements for the card, I needed to figure out a background. I went ahead and splattered my card base using black acrylic ink and decided on a heart background. I used the Stacked Hearts die and cut that three times and adhered them to the card base, cutting off any extras. I adhered all of the treats using foam strips and then added the sentiments with more foam strips.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! This project is well outside of my comfort zone, but it was a fun project nonetheless. Don’t forget to check out the entire To Be Loved release over on Simon’s website! Thanks again for hanging out with me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Harlequin Heart

Hello Friends and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Harlequin Heart stamp from one of Simonn’s latest releases, To Love. Let’s go ahead and get right into it!

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

I began this project by stamping the Harlequin Heart onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. Next, I did some ink blending on the panel using Lilac, Orchid and Amethyst inks.

The panel was trimmed down and adhered to a black panel for contrast, before being adhered to the card base. I die cut the You sentiment once from silver cardstock and three times from black and adhered all of those together for a stacked sentiment. I stamped the sub-sentiment, which is from the You stamp set, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder.

I adhered the sub-sentiment using foam strips and added some silver metallic pearls to pull it all together and add some bling.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Don’t forget to check out the entire release, as there are lots of good things for those Valentine cards. Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp To Love And To Be Loved Release Blog Hop – Day 1

Hello Crafty Friends and thanks for joining me! Welcome to Day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop featuring the To Love and To Be Loved releases! Be sure to comment along the hop for your chance to win a $25 coupon from Simon! There’s also a free gift with purchase when you spend $50 or more on new release products! A chance to win a coupon, a free gift with purchase AND tons of inspiration .. YES PLEASE! My project for today is featuring the new I’m Sorry die cut in my usual floral fashion! 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 cutting a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock down to the same size as the gold thin frame and splattering it with gold acrylic paint. I set that aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.

The I’m Sorry sentiment was cut once, and I die cut a few white flowers using the Cosmos Duo set, and cut the centers of the flowers from yellow cardstock. The flowers needed a little bit of shading so I added that with some Gravel ink. The centers also got some shading using Sunbeam ink. The flowers are two layers because I wanted more fullness, so I went ahead and assembled all of the pieces using liquid glue.

Now here is where things get a little wonky! I needed a longer stem for the flowers so I die cut the stem from the Divine Peony set, and I die cut a few leaves from the Winsome Branches set to go along with the stem from the Cosmos set. Light ink blending using Cabbage ink was applied to the stems and leaves.

To assemble the card, I glued the gold frame to the splattered panel, added the I’m Sorry and then added the one long stem. The first two flowers were then adhered using foam strips, I added the second stem, along with the third flower and then added the leaves atop the stems. The panel was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Be sure to comment along the Hop for your chance to win! You can begin the Hop over on Simon’s blog to make sure that you catch all of the inspiration from the team. And, stay tuned for Day 2 tomorrow for more chances to win!

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Rosettes

Hello Friends! I hope you’re doing well! I appreciate you stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Layered Rosette die and stencil combo! Let’s not waste time and jump right into it!

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

I began this project by cutting the Layered Rosettes from Neenah 110lb cardstock and then used the stencils for the ink blending. The colors used were Guava, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Melon, Surf and Ocean. Once the ink blending was complete, I adhered the layers of the Rosettes together using liquid glue along with silver centers.

For the background, I used the A2 Marquee die and splattered that with black acrylic ink before adhering the silver Streamer Ribbons die cuts. The Rosettes were then adhered using liquid glue and trimmed off before adhering this panel to a black panel for contrast.

The Happy Birthday sentiment was cut from black cardstock twice, the shadow portion was cut from Neenah 110lb twice and all of the pieces were adhered together before being added to the card with foam strips.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day! Stay awesome, Friend!

Happiest Friday to you! Here’s a fun, yet simple card featuring a @simonsaysstamp embossing folder, Color Blend cardstock, brayered black ink and the Feel Better Soon sentiment. I’ve rediscovered my Color Blend cardstock and having lots of fun creating different projects with it. I hope you all have an awesome day! Happy Thursday, Friends! I bought this set at the last @simonsaysstamp CREATE event and had never gotten around to using it! That tells you how long it’s been sitting around waiting on some love! I’m not usually a cutesy card person, but I couldn’t resist this Wild Love set! Speaking of CREATE, who am I going to see there?!?! I’ll be there Thursday night and part of Friday, so come find me and say hi! I’d love to meet you, if I haven’t already! Sending you some happy Wednesday thoughts with this Tulip Background from @simonsaysstamp. I stamped the whole image and was able to create a cute little bookmark in addition to my card! I’m considering that a win! Hope everyone is having a great day and a great week so far! Happy Friday, Friends! We made it, and I’m back today, still playing with the Artsy Butterflies from @simonsaysstamp. This card is a combination of Color Blend cardstock, a transparency and patterned paper! You can find more details on my blog over at redsas.co. Hope you have a great day and a wonderful weekend! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXM5cFAiTMV/ Happy Wednesday! Anyone else thinking that these Artsy Butterflies from last month’s @simonsaysstamp card kit would pair beautifully with the new Long Stem Florals from the May kit ?!?! Wishing that I had the new kit to test it out!!!
