Altenew Seasonal Blooms Card Duo

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! For today’s project, I pulled an older kit from my stash to create with! It was about time, as I had never used this Craft Your Life Seasonal Blooms kit before! Why? Who knows! But, I had fun creating these two cards and really want to spend some time creating more! It’s a really great kit as it includes the stamp set, coordinating dies, stencils and an embossing folder! So many opportunities for beautiful projects! Let’s go ahead and 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 these project by stamping the large floral image onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using clear embossing powder. I then used the coordinating stencils to add color with Sunbeam, Honey, Carnation, Perfection and Gingerbread inks. For even more depth on the image, I went back in with some colored pencils to enhance the shadows.

This was a large image, so I really wanted to get two cards out of it, so I decided on the place to cut it apart. I did not want some weird cut off portion of a flower, so I ended up cutting around a leaf and you can’t even tell! For one half of the image, I used some Copic Multiliner pens to color the white edges and portions black, as I would be adhering it to a black panel. The half of the image, I left as is because I was going to mount it onto a white panel.

The sentiments were cut several times using black and gold cardstock and adhered together for that stacked sentiment that we all love. My white panel was cut using a postage set, and both panels got a dose of gold splatter. The florals were adhered using foam tape, while the sentiments were glued directly to the panels. I added some gold metallic pearls to finish up both of these projects.

That does it for this post! I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did. Not even sure why I hadn’t used this kit .. maybe it was the out of sight, out of mind situation! Anyhoo, I’m glad that I did, and found myself on the Altenew website looking at other Craft Your Life kits! Shhhh! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Gifts

Hello Crafty Friends, and Happy STAMPtember! I hope you’re excited for a month long celebration featuring new goodies from Simon, as well as fun collaborations from other companies and a few other surprises along the way! My project for today is featuring the new Party Gifts and Bows die set, 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 gifts from pastel aqua, pink and yellow cardstock scraps, while cutting the bows from gold cardstock. For some added interest, I did splatter the gifts with some gold acrylic ink before assembling the pieces. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder onto black cardstock.

The background was cut using the Teardrop Pinpoint Frames, and the gifts were adhered atop that using a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. The sentiment was glued in place to finish up.

A super simple project for today! This set is a good addition to your stash, as it could be used for birthday or Christmas, if you used different colors. You could even use it for Valentines or baby cards if you opted to used some patterned paper. Just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing! Stay tuned all month long for lots of STAMPtember surprises! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Amazing Daisies

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the Dewdrop Daisy from a recent Simon release, paired with some other elements. 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 die cutting two of the daisies from white cardstock and the centers from black cardstock. I did some ink blending using Melon, Cantalope and Sherbet and adhered the pieces of my flower together. The background panel was made using a piece of patterned paper from Arden Creative, along with some stamping, some rub-on transfers and some splatter.

Once satisfied with the background, I distressed and curled the edges a little bit before adhering the inked up frame using foam tape. I did use some Seafoam ink as well as some of the ink from my orange brush to ink it up. The leaves from the daisy set were cut once from white cardstock and once from Fog cardstock. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using white embossing powder and trimmed out several times.

The background panel was added to a black panel for contrast, the leaves were glued in place while the sentiment and flowers were adhered with foam tape.

And that finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I like when patterned paper can do most of the work for the background! Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Simon Says Stamp Hello Bloom

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Sometimes I like creating backgrounds with small dies, and today’s post features just that! I paired the hello from Simon’s newer set, Paper Cut Word Mix 1 along with the Tim Holtz Bloom Colorize. Let’s run through the deets!

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

I began this project by die cutting all of the hello pieces first from black mirror cardstock and regular black cardstock. All of those were adhered together and set aside. I then die cut the pieces of the flower and leaves from pink, yellow, Fern, Forest, Sage and Beeswax cardstock. Of course I have to add ink blending, so I used Carnation, Peony, Rose, Honey, Sage and Pine for that.

Once everything was ink blended, I assembled my pieces and gave the leaves and black background panel some gold splatter. The background panel got trimmed down using the A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles before securing the hello sentiments with liquid glue. The excess was trimmed off and the panel was adhered to another black panel before being adhered to the card base.

The leaves and yellow flowers were glued in place, and the pink flower was secured with a bit of foam tape to finish up.

This project was a bit time consuming, but I absolutely love how it turned out, and I hope you do too! Thanks again for stopping by to check out today’s project, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!

Simon Says Stamp Hi There Blooms

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for stopping by! I’m back today with a post featuring the Sunflower Blooms and Chunky Ovals from Simon’s latest release, Every Happiness. I chose to go in a pink/purplish direction with my sunflowers for this one, 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 by die cutting the florals and leaves from Neenah 110lb cardstock. Normally, I probably would have cut these from colored cardstock, but I was borrowing my friend’s die while she was visiting and I didn’t know what I was going to be making at the time. So, I just felt that I would have more options if they were cut from white cardstock. I did some ink blending on the flowers and leaves using Carnation, Lilac, Orchid, Aspen and Pine. For the centers of the flowers, I just used a black Copic marker to color those.

Once everything was ink blended, I went ahead and assembled the flowers and figured out the rest of my design. I stamped the floral from the Beautiful Flowers set onto a panel of black cardstock, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using clear embossing powder for a tone on tone effect. I then used the Chunky Ovals to trim it down, along with a panel of Lavender cardstock. My sentiment was stamped using VersaMark, heat set using white embossing powder, and trimmed out several times.

I went ahead and black splattered my card base, adhered the ovals and began securing the leaves with liquid glue, while the flowers were adhered using foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment was also added with foam tape, and some clear gems were added to finish up.

That does it for this project! I really love using dark colors sometimes, and I thought this dark background would pair well with the dark centers of the flowers. Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have yourself a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Amazing Petals

Hey There, Crafty Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s post featuring the new Tissue Petal Stems from Simon’s Every Happiness release. I borrowed this set from a friend, but I might just have to add it to my cart, because I love how they turned out! Let’s 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 floral pieces lots of times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. Like I said, I borrowed this from a friend and had no idea at the time how I would be using it, so I thought it best to just cut from white cardstock. I did some ink blending on the pieces using Cheeky, Zest, Honey and Cabbage. Once I was done with the ink blending, I went ahead and assembled the flowers.

The background panel was created using Teal Topaz cardstock along with the Crimped A2 Rectangles and some gold and white splatter. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink, heat set with white embossing powder and layered up. I glued my flowers in place, after much playing around with placement, and added the sentiment with foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this project! I really love yellowish orange flowers against the teal background! Have you checked out the Every Happiness release yet? I’d love to know your favorites! Until next time, have a fabulous day, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

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!
