Simon Says Stamp Mosaic Just Because

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I hope you’re doing well and having a great day! Today’s project is featuring the new Mosaic Petals Stencil from Simon’s latest release, You Are My Favorite. Let’s run through the details, shall we?

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 and putting my panel and stencil onto my Crafty Tacky Mat to begin the inking process. This is a five stencil set, and the inks that I used were Heather, Violet, Limelicious, Pearfection, Lemonade and Honey.

Once done with the inking, I trimmed the panel down using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and prepared the sentiment. I die cut the Fancy Just Because once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah, while cutting the shadow portion from green cardstock. I adhered the panel to the card base using foam tape and secured the sentiment with liquid glue. Some gold pearls were added to finish up.

That does it for this project! Like I said, a simple one! Don’t forget to head on over to check out the entire You Are My Favorite release! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

Spellbinders Argyle Paperwhites

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! The Spellbinders September releases are live, and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Paperwhites Glass Vase and Dies from Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s Winter’s Grace Garden Collection. 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.

This was my first time working with Susan’s flowers, and I just have to say, they are absolutely wonderful to work with! I love that she provides a video on the product page and offers guidance on how to shape, color and assemble the elements. This set does include a vase and a bulb, but I opted to use only the flower dies for my card today. I die cut eight flowers from Neenah 110lb cardstock and used the Sizzix Shaping Kit to soften and curl the petals. For the stamen, I used Copic Marker Y38 to color those a golden yellow before assembling.

I assembled all of my flowers and began working on the rest of the card. I used the Argyle Plaid 3D Embossing Folder for the background, and I used Sealed Blooming Stems for the leaves, which were cut from Sage cardstock. The sentiment is from the You Are Everything Sentiments BetterPress set, and that was gold foiled.

The background panel was adhered to the card base, and I began securing the leaves with liquid glue, while adhering the flowers with a foam square. The sentiment was adhered with foam strips, not that this card needed any more dimension! To finish up, I added some clear drops for a little bit of shine.

Like I said earlier, this is the first time that I’ve used Susan’s flowers, and I’m blown away by the dimension! This is definitely a hand deliver type of card!

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Head on over to the Spellbinders site to check out all of the new items in the September release. Lots of fun things! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
