Simon Says Stamp Pepita Background

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Pepita Background from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. 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 background onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using Dew, Mist and Raindrop inks. I started with the lightest color at the top of my panel and used a small blending brush to soften the edges of the ink on the stamp, so as not to have any harsh edges. I did have to repeat this step multiple times to get a good image. I proceeded with the the other colors doing the same thing.

Once I was satisfied with the stamped image, I made marks on the panel so I knew where to trim it down. I then used my scissors to trim along the edges to give it a more interesting appeal. I really liked that look and did another card the same way. I die cut the Lush Leaves from Matte Silver cardstock as well as an aqua mirrored cardstock that I purchased from my local craft store.

While I was cutting, I went ahead and cut the Scripty Hugs once from the same mirror cardstock and twice from Neenah, as well as cutting the shadow portion twice. I adhered all of those pieces together and started the assembly process. The background was adhered using foam tape while the leaves were secured with liquid glue. I added the sentiment with foam strips and added Surf Dazzling Gems to finish up this project.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I think the aqua colors pair so nicely with the silver. Don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release! Thanks again for joining me and have an awesome day!

Crafty time this week! It’s Friday, we made it, and I’m back with a super duper, simple card using an alcohol panel and a cover die cut that were just hanging out in my stash! We all know that I love a good floral or leafy card, and today’s project goes down the leafy path using the @simonsaysstamp Privet Branch. And who doesn’t love a good color combo as well?!? You can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! Happy Monday, Friends! I was asked recently to create some sympathy cards, and I always find these cards difficult to make, but I kept it toned down and simple. I feel like white on white or white with grey is peaceful ad soothing, especially during a difficult time. Happy Friday, and happy early Valentine’s to you! The other day I created a large watercolor panel with some stamping and splatter to cut all kinds of @simonsaysstamp hearts from to create four different projects. I love how each project turned out, and I’m itching to create another panel with some different die cuts. There’s a blog post if you’d like more details over at redsas.co. I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend! Happiest Wednesday, Friends! I’m back with another simple card design using an embossing folder and white ink along with a brayer. I love the hint of white on the edges of the flowers paired with a coordinating sentiment and gems for a little pop of color. Hope you all have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Nifty Happy to Know You

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m so glad that you stopped by to check out today’s project featuring the new Nifty Star Plate from the Rain or Shine release. Let’s go ahead and 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 die cutting the Nifty Star Plate once from Neenah 110lb cardstock and once from black cardstock. I then poked out all of the pieces from both panels and put the black panel onto a Craft Tacky Mat and put the white pieces into place. Once those were in place, I did some light ink blending using Bubblegum, Sunbeam and Seafoam inks.

To get proper placement onto my card base, I put some removable tape on the back of the black panel and began the inlay process adding the black pieces first and securing with liquid glue and then adding the ink blended pieces atop that. Once all of the pieces were in place, I carefully removed the black panel that I was using as my guide.

The sentiment, which is from the Extra Talkative set, was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using Detail White Embossing Powder. That was then trimmed out using the coordinating die along with two additional cuts. Those were adhered together and added to the card using foam strips. To finish up, I added black crystals to the centers of each piece.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Inlay work is time consuming, but I think it yields such a beautiful project regardless of what it is. Thanks again for joining me today, and don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release over on Simon’s website. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Floral Harlequin Thank You

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Pepita Background from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. This project is also featuring the new Thank You Basics set, which is a staple to have in your stash! Let’s go ahead and go 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 stamping the Pepita Background onto a black panel using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I repeated that process for a second time to get a smoother embossed finish. I think the black on black with the glossy pattern is just amazing! I wanted this panel to be just smaller than my card base, so I made some marks and began cutting around the design. I absolutely love the edging of the panel!

I went ahead and splattered my card base with black ink and set that aside to dry while I worked on the other elements. I die cut the Autumn Sunflower twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock, which gave me four pieces. I also die cut the Privet Branch twice from Neenah, and cut the Winsome branch a couple of times from black cardstock.

I did some ink blending on the flower using Bubblegum and Carnation inks. I was a bit more heavy handed on the bottom layer and lighter on the top layers. The leaves were ink blended using Celery, Pearfection and Seafoam inks. I love adding Seafoam to green ink blending as I think it adds a nice little pop of color. I assembled the flower and decided to go back and cut the center from black cardstock to bring some cohesiveness.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from the new Thank You Basics set, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it down so that it would fit nicely in the center of my flower. The background panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, and I began adhering the green leaves first with liquid glue. Next, I adhered the black leaves, the flower and the sentiment. To finish up, I added a few clear drops.

This card has so much dimension, and I love it! I think it would have been pretty with an aqua colored flower as well, or any color of flower! I hope you enjoyed this project, as I sure did! Don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Hip Hip Hooray

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! The latest release from Simon Says Stamp, Favorite Things, is live and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Hip Hip Hooray set. Let’s go ahead and jump 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 some of the hippos using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I then used Copic Markers C00, C1, C2, C3 and RV10 to add color to the hippos. I then fussy cut the images and went to work on the rest of the card.

The Postage Collage Cover was cut twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and adhered together for a little bit of a stacked look. That was then adhered to my card base using liquid glue, and I went ahead and die cut the flowers and leaves from the Hanging Leaf Ring set from Sage and Neenah cardstock. I did do some light ink blending on these pieces using Carnation and Sage inks as well.

Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers and added Bubblegum Dazzling Gems to the centers. The sentiment, which is from the Hip Hip Hooray set, was stamped with VersaMark ink and heat set using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. This was then cut into a strip with foam strips added to the back of it. The hippos were adhered using foam tape while the flowers and leaves were adhered with a combination of glue and foam squares. The sentiment was secured in place to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! I don’t normally do cutesy cards, because I don’t feel that I’m very good at those types of cards, but this card makes me smile, so I’m counting that as a win! Don’t forget to check out the entire Favorite Things release over on Simon’s website! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an amazing day!

PinkFresh Studio Leafy Garden Party with Your Paper Insider

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back to my blog! A little while back, I received a special box from Your Paper Insider and decided to create some gorgeous flowers with some of the paper, and today’s project is that result! If you haven’t checked them out, I highly recommend that you do! It’s a super, fun subscription box filled with at least 20 different papers from around the world, to include gorgeous cardstock colors, specialty papers and art papers. Ok, let’s go ahead and go through the details for this project.

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 flowers using the Garden Party set and papers from Your Paper Insider. I did do some ink blending on the flowers, to add more depth, using Sweet Mustard and Atlantis inks. You guys know that I always have to use more leaves so I used the Leafy Branch and foiled the Joyful Day leaves.

Continuing to work on the focal point of the card, I used the Charming Stitched Florals and then used the Folk Edge Circles to cut a small panel. The sentiment, which is from the Wonderful Sentiments BetterPress set, was gold foiled and trimmed out using the coordinating die cut.

Before assembling the pieces, I gold splattered my card base for added interest and began by adhering the foiled leaves using liquid glue. The circular panel was then adhered using foam tape and the smaller white leaves were adhered next. The flowers and sentiment were added lastly to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you’ll take a look at Your Paper Insider! I’m looking forward to creating more projects with the goodies in my box! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Books

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back to my blog! I’m back today with a project featuring the new One for the Books set from Simon’s latest release, Favorite Things. 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 book using Bubblegum, Gravel and Sage inks. This is a layering stamp set, so I moved onto the black areas and used VersaFine Onyx Black ink for that and heat set it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. For the “pages” of the books, I used Misty Coast ink from PinkFresh Studio.

Once the stamping of the book was complete, I adhered them to fun foam and trimmed them down to size. I also added a small pink heart and Bubblegum Dazzling Gems to the top book. The background was created using the Friendship Text Background stamp with that same Misty Coast ink. That was then trimmed down using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames. Before adhering to the card base, I added some black splatter and then adhered the books atop that. Because the books had already been adhered to fun foam, there was no need for additional foam tape.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire Favorite Things release and let me know your favorites. Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Color Swatch Wheel

Hello Crafters and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Spellbinders Color
Wheel cardstock colors and the Color Swatch Wheel dies. The purpose of this post is really just to inspire you with some color combinations that feature the colors of cardstock. Let’s go ahead and get into the details!

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

I took my color inspirations from the Color Cubes and matched the new Spellbinders cardstock colors to those, or as close as I could get them. I did add a die cut flower to each color as well, to give a little more detail. I hope you find some unique combinations that you might enjoy working with.

  • Tutu
  • Blush
  • Mint
  • Waterfall
  • Beeswax
  • Windy
  • Orchid
  • Tutu
  • Chiffon
  • Beeswax
  • Carrot
  • Poppy
  • Mulberry
  • Violet
  • Lavender
  • Lilac
  • Indigo
  • Raven
  • Merlot
  • Terra Cotta
  • Beeswax
  • Breeze
  • Lilac
  • Lavender
  • Fern
  • Beeswax
  • Saffron
  • Carrot
  • Terra Cotta
  • Poppy
  • Fern
  • Rainforest
  • Carrot
  • Oceanside
  • Malibu
  • Windy
  • Lilac
  • Blue Spruce
  • Teal Topaz
  • Waterfall
  • Fawn
  • Saffron
  • Waterfall
  • Mint
  • Carrot
  • Sicily
  • Poppy
  • Dahlia
  • Oceanside
  • Teal Topaz
  • Waterfall
  • Mint
  • Terra Cotta
  • Cinnamon

I could have made hundreds of combinations, but I got nine made. I was limited with my cardstock, so I made the best of it! If you haven’t used the Color Cubes, I highly recommend them! I do find myself getting stuck with colors sometimes, and it’s so helpful to just thumb through the cards to find a new combo that interests me. I’ve provided links to the colors that I used, along with some sampler packs. There are packs that include all of the colors as well, but at the time that this was written, those were out of stock and I was unable to provide a link to that.

That does it for this project! Like I said, I hope this post inspires you to try some new color combos, and to try the new cardstock colors from Spellbinders. Stay tuned for a shaped card using these dies! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful 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!

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!

Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Tucked Hearts

Hello Crafty Friends! I hope you’re having a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Tucked Hearts stamp from Simon’s latest release, To Be Loved. Let’s go ahead and jump into the details!

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

I began this project by pulling my inks, which were Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Seafoam and Lilac. I inked up the top portion of the stamp in the Misti and softened the edges of ink with a blending brush so that I didn’t have any harsh lines. I worked my way down the panel and through the colors until I was satisfied with the vibrance.

Once I was done stamping, I trimmed the panel down using the Chunky A2 Scalloped Rectangles. That was then adhered to the card base, and I went to work on the remaining elements of the card. I die cut the Lined Love You once from gold cardstock and three times from black cardstock and adhered all of those together using liquid glue.

I did offset the gold layer slightly so that you would be able to see the black shadow. The gold hearts are actually leftovers from the Clipping Heart that I had in my stash. The sentiment and the hearts were glued in place to finish up this project.

A super simple one for today, but those are good sometimes! We don’t always have lots of time to devote to a card, so easy peasy ones are a must from time to time. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy your day! Stay awesome, Friend!

We all know that I love a good floral or leafy card, and today’s project goes down the leafy path using the @simonsaysstamp Privet Branch. And who doesn’t love a good color combo as well?!? You can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! Happy Monday, Friends! I was asked recently to create some sympathy cards, and I always find these cards difficult to make, but I kept it toned down and simple. I feel like white on white or white with grey is peaceful ad soothing, especially during a difficult time. Happy Friday, and happy early Valentine’s to you! The other day I created a large watercolor panel with some stamping and splatter to cut all kinds of @simonsaysstamp hearts from to create four different projects. I love how each project turned out, and I’m itching to create another panel with some different die cuts. There’s a blog post if you’d like more details over at redsas.co. I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend! Happiest Wednesday, Friends! I’m back with another simple card design using an embossing folder and white ink along with a brayer. I love the hint of white on the edges of the flowers paired with a coordinating sentiment and gems for a little pop of color. Hope you all have an awesome day!
