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!

Happy Tuesday, Friends! I’m back with a collection of cards that I’m referring to as tattered florals. I love how these turned out with the soft pastel colors and worn edges of the petals! These are all @simonsaysstamp products, and you can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Happiest Friday to you! I hope you’re having a wonderful day so far! I had some tidbits of this gorgeous, vintage inspired patterned paper leftover and decided to create some cards using the Artful Palette dies from @simonsaysstamp. I also used the stencils as a guide for the layout, because I’m just not that talented .. 🤪. I was quite amazed at how many cards that I created from these little scraps that I had leftover, plus it kind of made me look at my scraps a little bit differently knowing that I could create something beautiful from basically nothing.

When the background does all the work, you only need a sentiment! I find this to be the case most of the time when working with @49andmarket washi tapes! They are perfect for creating super quick, yet beautiful cards when you’re needing to add to your stash. This particular washi tape has to be the prettiest that I’ve ever seen! 😍 If you haven’t checked them out, I highly encourage you to do so! Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Happy Monday, Friends! I recently created this dark, dramatic card using the Wild & Free product suite from @simonsaysstamp. I always love working with darker colors, but find that I don’t do it very often, so I might have to start mixing it in a bit more! You can find more details for this project over on my blog at redsas.co. Hope you have a fabulous day!

Hey There, Friends! This might be my last post for a while that features the Dewpierce Butterfly from @simonsaysstamp … or it might not! 🤣🤣. I’ve really enjoyed playing with this die, as if you couldn’t tell! I paired these butterflies with a couple of products from other companies that I think are super fun! You can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday, Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today’s post is a pretty, pastel floral featuring the Graceful Flowers from @simonsaysstamp. I’m really loving the soft colors paired with the Seafoam cardstock! You can find more details over on my blog at redsas.co, along with more pics and a complete supply list! I hope you all have a fabulous 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!
