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 Take Care Florals

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! There’s a fun Instagram Hop going on today to celebrate the Simon Every Happiness release! You don’t want to miss your opportunity to discover some new inspiration and to win a $25 gift card! Head over there and comment along the hop for your chance to win! Today’s project was a fun one for me, because we all know that I love florals! My card today is featuring the new Leafdance Flowers and Frame so 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 my project by die cutting the pieces from Windy, Lavender and Beeswax cardstock. I did some ink blending on the leaf portions using Summer Shower and Seaside inks, while the ink blending on the flowers used Amethyst ink. I assembled the flowers and set those aside while I worked on the rest of the card. I knew that I wanted a darker background to showcase the florals, so I opted for Rain Forest cardstock.

For some added interest on the background, I added some silver splatter. The sentiment was cut using Matte Silver cardstock and also from black cardstock. All of those layers were adhered together for a stacked sentiment. This sentiment has been discontinued, which makes me sad because it’s always been a favorite, so any sentiment from your stash would work just as well! I adhered the leaf frame portion to my background, added the flowers using small bits of foam tape and secured the sentiment with liquid glue to finish up.

Another beautiful floral project in the books! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Don’t forget to check out the entire Every Happiness release, and head over to Instagram to join the hop! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have yourself a fabulous day!

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!

Together By Design Featuring CZ Design “Simple Ho”

Together By Design is a monthly collaboration where a small group of designers all create with products from the same featured brand. Each of us chooses a favorite product and puts our own creative spin on it, showing just how many different ways one brand can inspire. Follow along, explore every project, and discover new designers and new favorites along the way.

This month’s featured brand/product:  CZ Designs “Simple Ho”

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

I’ll start by saying that I chose this month’s product .. If you know me personally, you know that I’m quite churlish with a weird sense of humor. I will often use the term Ho as a funny greeting, or a funny term of endearment. I mean absolutely no disrespect when I’m using the term. While at CREATE this year with my friends, I saw this die cut hanging in the Holiday section and I jokingly said, “Wassup, Ho?” And things spiraled from there, using various sentiments that we saw with the word Ho at the end of it. Examples, You’re doing great, Ho. Sending love and hugs, Ho. You make everything better, Ho. You get the idea! Hence, Ho became our chosen product for this month’s design.

I recently purchased a bunch of 49 and Market products, to include rub-on transfers and various ephemera pieces, so I decided to put some of those to good use! However, in searching for these products online, it appears that it has sold it, which tends to be the case with the 49 and Market collections. My apologies on that. I began this project by die cutting a panel using the Nested Stitched Rectangles and adding some gold splatter, followed by some rub-on transfers.

I pulled some ephemera pieces that would match the colors of the rub-ons that I used. Next, I die cut the sentiments a bunch of times from black and gold cardstock, adhering all of those together for a very stacked sentiment. Unfortunately, it appears that the “sup” die cut has been discontinued, which is sad, because I really like it! I tore the edge of one piece of ephemera and secured it with liquid glue, along with the other pieces, while the sentiments were adhered using foam tape. I felt some black butterflies were in order, so I cut and added a few of those to finish up.

I hope that if you’re seeing this card, you are finding humor and not finding offense, because it really is just my weird sense of humor. I hope you’ll check out the posts from my friends to see how their creative juices flowed using the say die cut. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have yourself a fabulous 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!

Spellbinders Dear Santa Floral Letter

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project! This one is featuring the Happy Post Envelope and Festive Floral Mix from the Spellbinders Dear Santa collection. I always enjoy working with florals from Spellbinders, and this project was no exception! Let’s go ahead and run through the details!

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

I began the project by die cutting my florals from Chiffon cardstock, and the various leaves from Sage and Forest cardstock. The envelope elements and my background were cut from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I did some ink blending on the flowers and leaves using Cherry Blossom and Pine inks. Once that step was complete, I assembled the flowers and set those aside.

My background panel was cut using the Nested Postage Labels and Tag and then embossed using the Scribbled Letter Embossing Folder. I thought that folder would pair well with the die cut letter that would be tucked into the envelope. Before adhering the background to the card base, I did give it a gold splatter treatment. At this point, I went ahead and cut the heart and the Noel sentiment from gold cardstock. The sentiment was also cut several times from Neenah so that it would be a bit more sturdy.

The envelope was assembled and adhered to the panel, and I began tucking in the flowers and leaves adhering those with liquid glue. The gold heart and sentiment were then added to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I’m really loving this color palette, and might need to try it again on a different project! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have yourself a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Grungy Dewdrop Daisy

Hi Friends! Thanks for joining me! Today’s project is featuring the new Dewdrop Daisy from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. I had this background lying around from a previous project, and I thought that I could give the daisy a grungy feel for all of these components to work together! Let’s go through the deets!

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

As I said, I already had this background panel, which was created using Distress Oxide Sprays, inks and paint. I die cut the panel using the Sparkler Scallop Frames and did some stamping, stenciling and splattering on it. The daisy was die cut from cream cardstock and ink blended using Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina, Walnut Stain and Peeled Paint.

My background panel was adhered to a black panel for contrast, the stem was glued in place, while the flower and sentiment were adhered with foam tape to finish up.

That’s it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Make sure to check out the entire Shine On release for a look at all of the new goodies! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Simon Says Stamp Pastel Birthday Wishes

Welcome back, Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Tall Happy Cover from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. This was a quick project, so let’s get into the details.

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

The background for this project was a super quick watercolor background in softer tones that I splattered in the corresponding areas with Dina Wakely Gloss Sprays. The sprays that I used were Magenta, Lemon, Turquoise and Eggplant. I was unable to find all of the sprays on the Simon website, so I’ll link to a similar product. The panel also got a good dose of white splatter since I was cutting the Tall Happy from white cardstock.

The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using clear embossing powder for the first time. The second and third times, it was stamped using VersaMark ink and heat set again with the same clear powder. By doing this three times, it gave a super smooth, glossy finish. You may be asking why I stamped with the VersaMark for the second and third times, and that’s because I find that when heat embossing, my paper warps ever so slightly and then the stamped images don’t line up exactly. By stamping it with the VersaMark ink, you can’t even tell. Just a little hack that I like to use when I’m heat embossing an image several times. The sentiment was trimmed out several times as well to create that stacked sentiment look that I love.

The Tall Happy was glued atop the watercolor panel, that panel was then adhered to a black panel for contrast and the sentiment was glued in place to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to swing over and check out the entire Shine On release! I’d love to know your favorites! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Silly Goose from @brutusmonroe is today’s @simonsaysstamp STAMPtember collaboration! A fun set for your Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas projects! Grab yours while supplies last! Still cruising along through STAMPtember! Today’s fun products from @simonsaysstamp are embossing folders with coordinating dies! There are several, but I chose the Fenceline Cat because cats rule in my world! 🖤 If you want to say otherwise, we can tussle out back! 🤣🤣. Because these are Simon branded products, they will be restocked as necessary, so yay! I hope you all have a fabulous day! Confetti Yeti is the next fun STAMPtember collab set from @simonsaysstamp and @trinitystampsllc! I went clean and simple, because I think critters pair well with this type of design. Quantities are limited, so don’t delay!
