Simon Says Stamp Braided Greetings

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for joining me! Today’s projects are featuring the new Braided Embossing Folder from Simon’s latest release, In My Heart. These were super simple, so let’s quickly run through the deets!

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

I began by running the embossing folder through the machine using Neenah cardstock to create two panels. I then did some ink blending on the panels using Carnation, Cadette, Surf, Limelicious, Sherbet and Orchid. Or at least that’s what I think that I used! I’m always really good about writing everything down, so I’m not quite sure what happened with these projects!

The sentiments were stamped using VersaMark ink, heat embossed using Detail White Embossing Powder and trimmed out four times for a stacked sentiment. I was unable to find one of the sets on the Simon website, so I assume that it was discontinued. I’m sorry about that, and I’m sad, because that was a really great set! The panels were trimmed down, adhered to a black panel and then the card base. Since the sentiments were stacked, I just went ahead and secured those using liquid glue to finish up.

Two quick cards for the win! These types of embossing folders are great for super quick cards, in my opinion. They look great ink blended with a simple sentiment. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Best Mom

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for stopping by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Best Mom Background stamp from Simon’s latest release, In My Heart. Let’s go ahead and get into the details!

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

I began this project by stamping the background onto a panel using PFS Misty Coast ink. My next step was to create a frame using the older Stitched Rectangles set. The flowers were cut from Neenah using the Hanging Leaf Ring set and the leaves from that set were cut using Smoke cardstock, while the Budding Branches were cut from Fog cardstock.

The flowers were ink blended using Bubblegum and Carnation inks. I applied different pressures to achieve different levels of ink intensity. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and double heat embossed for a smoother finish. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate this particular stamp set on the Simon website, but they have other great sets for Mother’s Day. I’ll link to one that is very similar for your convenience. That was cut several times using the coordinating die for a stacked look, which I love.

Before the assembly process, I adhered a clear drop to the center of each flower for added interest. The background panel was trimmed down, the frame was adhered using foam tape, the leaves were added and then the flowers. The sentiment was secured with foam tape, with a few more flowers added around that and clear drops were added to the branches to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! It was a labor of love, because I kept thinking of how much I would have loved to give this card to my Mom while I was making it. Anyhoo, I appreciate you stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Latte Birthday Wishes

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! The In My Heart release from Simon is live, and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Thanks a Latte stamp and Scalloped Arches Frames. Let’s run through the details!

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

When I saw the arches, I immediately thought of a shaker card, so that’s what I set out to create! I thought some cute coffee shaker bits would be fun, but I didn’t have any of those! So, Etsy to the rescue! I stamped the critter from the Thanks a Latte set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, heat embossed it with clear powder, colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut the image. As a note, there are coordinating dies for this set. I also went ahead and stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink, heat set that with white powder and trimmed it down into a strip.

The arches were cut 6-7 times I believe. I cut a piece of acetate and secured it in place and glued another arch on top of it so that it would stay in place. I cut a larger arch and glued that to the card base, sprinkled the coffee shaker bits into the center and glued the stacked acetate arch atop that. There might have been an easier way to do this, but I couldn’t think of it, because the die also cuts out the center portion of the arch. If you can tell me a better way, please let me know!! Once everything was secured, I added the critter and the sentiment atop the acetate with strong double sided tape to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you like it, and I hope if you have a better way for assembly, that you’ll send me a message! Don’t forget to check out the entire In My Heart release! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Thinking of You Whirl Butterflies

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I’ve had so much fun creating large watercolor panels with various stamping, drawing, splattering, etc lately! I made this panel using blues, greens and a little bit of pink, and I thought the Whirl Butterflies would be cool cut from it. Let’s go ahead and quickly run through the details.

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

The watercolor panel measures 9 x 12 inches, so I have lots to create cards with! I first added the watercolors to the panel beginning with one color and then adding the next color. I didn’t worry about drying the panel between applications, because I love when the colors blend together. Once I was satisfied with the colors, I let the panel completely dry before moving on to the next step.

I pulled some various stamps from Simon, as well as from Tim Holtz and randomly stamped onto the panel using Archival Black ink. I then took a stencil and added some white ink, but I think that got lost in the process, so I then took some blue and pink paint and applied that through the stencil. I took a Copic Multiliner and outlined most of the circles. You can’t really tell that on these particular butterflies, but you can on another project that I created. For even more interest, I did lots of splatter with Distress Oxide Sprays, black ink and gold ink.

The butterflies were cut from the watercolor panel, as well as from white cardstock, while the bodies were cut from black cardstock. Those were adhered together and foam tape was placed on the back. The panel was created using the Eyelet Layer Frames with more gold splatter to bring everything together. The sentiment was stamped, stacked and adhered to the panel using liquid glue, and the butterflies were added to finish up.

That does it for this project. I hope you like it! I still have quite a bit of panel left and plan to cut some stars from it for birthday cards perhaps. I also created another project using only the smallest butterfly, but you’ll see that some time down the road. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great day!

Simon Says Stamp Groovy Birthday

Hello Friends, and welcome back to my blog! I’m still playing with goodies from the Beautiful Moments release, and today’s project is featuring the Groovy Daisies. I decided while I was stamping that I would go ahead and create two panels, 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.

Both panels were created the same, so I put my first panel in the Misti and added some Bubblegum ink to one corner, softening the ink line with a blending brush. I stamped that and moved on to the next color, softening each of the ink lines with a brush so that I didn’t have any of the harsh lines. The other colors that were used were Zest, Seafoam and Lilac.

I trimmed both panels down using the A2 Scalloped Rectangles and then went to work on the sentiments. Those were cut once with gold cardstock and twice from Neenah, as well as cutting the shadow portion twice. All of those layers were adhered together for a stacked sentiment.

The panels were adhered to the card base, the sentiments were adhered using foam strips, and some gold metallic pearls were added to a few of the flowers to finish up.

That does it for these projects! My ink blending is super light, and I think these would be gorgeous using some darker colors as well. I might have to give that a go sometime soon! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous 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 Blended Daisies

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! The Beautiful Moments release is live, and I’m back with a project featuring the new Groovy Daisies with a soft blend. Let’s go ahead and get into the details.

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

I began this project by stamping the Groovy Daisies onto a panel using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossing it using clear embossing powder. I knew that I wanted to double heat emboss, and when I do this, I stamp the second time with VersaMark ink and heat again using clear powder. I do this because, during the heating process, I find that the paper warps a tiny bit and if I stamp again in black, it can sometimes be slightly off. By stamping the second time with VersaMark, you don’t notice that.

I really love how the ink blending turned out using Bubblegum, Lilac, Marine and Seafoam inks. Once done with the ink blending, I trimmed the panel down using the new A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles, and mounted it onto a black panel for contrast. The sentiment was cut once from Matte Silver cardstock and twice from black cardstock, while the shadow portion was cut four times. All of those were adhered together using liquid glue for a stacked sentiment. I added some matte silver pearls to the some of the flowers to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you like it, and I hope you’ll stop by and check out the entire Beautiful Moments release! Thanks again for swinging by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Love You Watercolor Hearts

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Happy Valentine’s Day to you as well! I made several cards for today’s post using some watercolor hearts that I made using various Simon products. 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 taping down a large panel of watercolor paper, adding different shades of reds, pinks and an aqua color, which ended up making the purple color. I let the panel dry and used a stencil with various circles to add some white ink. Once those were dry, I outlined them with a Copic Multiliner and did some stamping using a couple of background stamps and VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I was unable to locate one of the stamps that I used, but any text stamp would work just fine. Once I was satisfied with the stamping, I did some gold splatter for added interest.

I pulled several heart die cuts, along with several other design die cuts and cut those. I was unable to find some of the die cuts that I used as well, and I apologize for that, but just use what’s already in your stash. I did edge some of the hearts with a gold leaf pen for some added interest and splattered my card bases and panel with black and gold acrylic inks. Some of the hearts were adhered using foam strips, while some were just glued directly to the panel or card base. The sentiments were cut from several different strip sets and adhered with glue or foam tape.

That does it for this post! I hope you like all of the cards as much as I do. I really had a lot of fun creating all of these projects, and am itching to create another watercolor panel to play with. I’ll list all of the products that I used below, just in case you’re interested. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Love You Jumbled Hearts

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for stopping by! Today’s project is featuring the Jumbled Hearts Background Stamp and the Love You sentiment die cut. Both are oldies, but both are goodies! 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 the background onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. The panel was then taped to a board, and I sprinkled some Nuvo Shimmer Powders on it and spritzed with water. The colors that I used were Catherine Wheel and Cherry Bomb. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the Cherry Bomb on Simon’s website, but you might be able to find it elsewhere. I love these two colors of shimmer powders because of the different pinks, and yellows that you get, which in turn then creates some oranges.

Once the panel was dry, I used the A2 Postage Rectangles to trim it down, and then added some black to some of the hearts using a Copic Marker. The sentiment was cut once from glossy black cardstock and three times from regular black cardstock. Those were all adhered together for a stacked sentiment and then adhered to the panel using foam strips.

That does it for this project! A pretty simple and easy card, but I love the different colors mixed with the black sentiment. Thanks for joining me today, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Peaceful Bird

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! We are celebrating the DieCember release with a super fun Instagram Hop, so be sure to check that out for your chance to win a gift card to the Simon’s website! Who doesn’t love winning gift cards, am I right?! Today’s project is featuring the new Flourish Bird in an icy surrounding along with the EZ Strips Christmas stamp, 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.

I began this project by die cutting the bird twice from red cardstock, and ink blended it using Brick ink. Once done with the ink blending, I assembled the bird with foam tape in between the two layers. I then got started on the spruce sprigs.

The greenery was cut several times from Fern and Forest cardstock, adding the Diamond Dust to them using liquid glue. Those were all set aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark Ink, heat set using Princess Gold Embossing Powder and trimmed out using the EZ Strips Rounded Rectangles die.

The background was created using a panel of the forest cardstock that was gold splattered and the Whirl Diamond Plate cut from the same cardstock. That was adhered in place and I began adhering the sprigs in place as well. Some of the sprigs were trimmed off and tucked in different place for a more full appearance. The bird and sentiment were adhered using foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this one! Sorry if you guys are tired of the icy leaves, I’ve just been having so much fun making them! Don’t forget to join the Instagram Hop! Comment along the hop for your chance to win a gift card. Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

I hope everyone has an absolutely, amazing weekend! Happy Thursday, Friends! I’m back today with a project featuring the Friendly Blossoms Stencil & Die combo from @simonsaysstamp. I decided to go with soft blues and greens for this project, but there’s so many beautiful combos! I saw so many gorgeous inspirational projects during the live with Heidi on Tuesday. You should check it out! Happiest Monday to you! I hope you had a great weekend! Today’s projects are featuring the new Braided Embossing Folder from @simonsaysstamp latest release, In My Heart. I love folders like this because they look great with just ink blending and a sentiment! Of course, you can do other things, but sometimes quick is key!
