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!

Together By Design Color Cube Floral

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:  The Color Cubes – #193

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

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

I began my project by gold foiling the Pinkfresh Plumeria Press Plate twice. I did it twice, because I wasn’t sure if I was going to use one or two on my card. Once the foiling was complete, I pulled the inks that I thought best matched the featured card number. I began my ink blending using the coordinating stencils and then trimmed them out using the coordinating dies.

The backgrounds was created by gold splattering the Ornate Banner and the Stitched Basket Weave.. As I always say, I needed more leaves, so I cut the Curvy Leaves from Peridot and Gold cardstock. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate the banner and leaves to link to, but just use items in your stash!

The banner and panel were adhered to the card bases, the leaves were secured in place using liquid glue and the floral panel was adhered with foam tape. The sentiments were gold foiled as well, added with foam tape, and some gold metallic pearls were added to tie it all together and finish up.

That does it for this month’s project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you’ll go check out the other designer’s projects using this same card number from the Color Cubes. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Cute Duckling

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s post is featuring the new Cute Duckling from Simon’s latest release, In My Heart. 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 die cutting the pieces for the duckling from colored cardstock and adding some ink blending using Honey ink. I assembled the pieces and set that aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

The background was created using the A2 Postage Rectangles with some black splatter for added interest. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using white embossing powder and trimmed out several times for a stacked look. The panel was adhered to the card base, the sentiment was glued in place and the duckling was added with foam tape for added dimension.

That’s it for this one! A super quick, clean and simple card! Don’t forget to swing by and check out the entire In My Heart release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Striped Missing You

Hey There! Thanks so much for swinging by! Today’s project is featuring the new Missing You die from Simon’s latest release, In My Heart. It’s a super quick one, so 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 already had a striped little panel in my stash that I had been saving for a card just like this! It was made using scrap cardstock and double sided tape. I went ahead and cut the Missing You from that little panel, cut it three times from black and adhered all of them together, offsetting the black ever so slightly.

My background panel was created using the A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles, a stamp from the Tim Holtz Brushstrokes set and Seafoam ink. The sentiment was adhered to the panel using liquid glue, and my card base was splattered with some Surf ink before the panel was adhered.

See, a super simple project for today! This was my first time using this Brushstrokes set, and I really kind of like it! It adds just the right amount of something behind a sentiment. Don’t forget to swing over to Simon’s website and check out the entire In My Heart release. Thanks again for swinging by, and I hope you have a fabulous 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 Beautiful Friend Floral

Hello Friends and welcome back! There’s a super fun Instagram Hop happening today to celebrate Simon’s latest release, Beautiful Moments. Be sure to head over there to check out all of the inspiration from the team! Comment along the hop for your chance to win a $25 gift card! My project for today is featuring several new products including the Beautiful Friend die, the Country Basket Bouquet and the Nested Stitched Rectangles. 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 this project by die cutting the flowers and leaves from the Country Basket Bouquet from various colors of cardstock from my stash. I then did some ink blending on those pieces before assembling the flowers. I’ll list the colors used at the bottom of this post for your convenience. The background was created using the Nested Stitched Rectangles and some gold splatter for a bit of added interest.

The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah to create a stacked sentiment. As a side note, I opted not to use the shadow portion of this die. I measured out the center and secured the sentiment in place with liquid glue, and then began adhering the florals and leaves in place. The larger flower in either corner was cut twice with a foam square in between those layers for some added dimension.

The entire panel was adhered to the card base with foam tape to finish up. I hope you like this project as much as I do. We all know that I love working with florals! Don’t forget to head over to Instagram to catch the hop! Who doesn’t love a chance to win a gift card, especially if it’s for craft supplies!

Together by Design is our monthly collab where a group of designers all create with products from the same featured brand/designer, each adding their own creative twist. Tap the tags below to see every project and meet the designers. Happy FriYay! We made it! Today’s post is featuring the new Cute Duckling from @simonsaysstamp latest release In My Heart. Have yourself a great day and a wonderful weekend! I’ve been playing with watercolor a lot lately, and the watercolor made its way onto these projects featuring the Wild Rose from @simonsaysstamp latest release, In My Heart. You can find more deets on my blog, if you’re interested, at redsas.co. I hope everyone has a fabulous Wednesday!
