Simon Says Stamp Thank You Daisy Bundle

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! The latest Simon release, Moments in Time, is live and today’s project is featuring the new Tattered Daisy along with the Thank You Text background stamp. I kind of went crazy with this flower die cut, so you’ll be seeing it a bunch! Let’s go ahead and go through the deets for this project.

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

I began this project by die cutting the daisy five times from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some ink blending using Seafoam, Surf, Marine, Cadette, Heather and Field. I did also use the Rainbow Splash Black ink pad to color the centers of the flowers, because I was feeling a bit lazy and didn’t feel like going back to cut those from black cardstock. Just keeping it real for you .. I do get lazy from time to time. Once the ink blending was complete on all of the pieces, I assembled the flowers and set those aside while I worked on the other elements of the card.

I have a bunch of gold splattered panels sitting around from a class that I taught, so I went ahead and used one of those and stamped the Thank You Text onto that using Misty Coast ink. I chose this ink, because it’s a very light ink and does really well when you’re wanting a barely there type of image. While I was stamping, I went ahead and stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it out using the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for that stacked sentiment that I love.

For the assembly, I arranged and determined placement and then secured the stems in place using liquid glue, while the flowers and sentiment were added with foam strips. The panel was adhered to the card base and some clear drops were added to finish up.

That does it for this one, and I really like how it came out! I hope you do too! Don’t forget to check out the entire Moments in Time release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Lovely Heart Grids Featuring Your Paper Insider

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! I recently received Box 11 from Your Paper Insider, and went to work on creating a few cards! If you haven’t looked into Your Paper Insider, I encourage you to do so! It’s a quarterly subscription box filled to the brim with interesting and gorgeous papers from all over the world! Let’s go ahead and go through the details for this set!

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

All of the cardstock for both of these cards came from Box 11 with the exception of the black. I thought the pink and purple paired nicely with this awesome purple glitter paper! I began this project by die cutting the SSS Printmaking Hearts once from all three of the colors.

For one of the cards, I opted to splatter the card base with Distress Oxide Sprays in Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet, while the hearts for the second card got the splatter. I just wanted to mix up the design a little between the two cards.

I placed foam strips on the back of the hearts and secured them to the card bases, mixing up the pattern, but still having the glitter heart in the center. The sentiments were stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. They were trimmed out along with two additional cuts for a stacked sentiment, and adhered directly to the heart using liquid glue.

That does it for these projects! I hope you like them! They’re both simple projects, but sometimes simple is good! Don’t forget to check out Your Paper Insider! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Layered Poppies

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the Layered Wildflowers along with the Scallop & Stitched Edge Ovals from the Spellbinders May releases. 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.

While this set has three different flowers, I opted to only use one of them. I began this project by die cutting the flower pieces from Poppy, Fern, Beeswax and black cardstock. I did some ink blending on the petals and centers using Cranberry and Honey inks. Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers and set them aside while I worked on the remaining elements.

I used the larger scallop oval to cut from black cardstock and used one of the stitched ovals to cut a smaller panel from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I used the Journal Grid to add texture to that white panel for some added interest, as well as some black splatter. I did go ahead and splatter the card base as well to tie everything together.

The sentiment was gold foiled onto black cardstock, and I added foam strips to the back of that. The stems were glued into place and the flowers were adhered with foam strips, as well as the sentiment for a bit of added dimension.

That does it for this project! I love how these poppies turned out, and can totally see myself using these again in the future. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a great day!

Pinkfresh Regal Florals

Hey There! So glad that you stopped by! For today’s project, I’m revisiting my desire for dark, dramatic Pinkfresh florals! I really like how this one turned out, so let’s go ahead and go through the details!

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

I began by die cutting the Fresh Florals from Purple Mist and Green Apple cardstock. I did some ink blending on the florals using Regal Kiss and some on the purple leaves using Soft Lilac. For the green leaves, I used C9 Avocado ink. I went back and cut a few centers from gold cardstock and went ahead and assembled the flowers using foam strips between the purple and green layers. I also glued the leaves together, offsetting those slightly.

The Leafy Lattice was gold foiled onto Plum cardstock and trimmed out using the coordinating die cut. The sentiment was gold foiled as well on the same plum cardstock and trimmed out three times for a stacked sentiment.

The background was created using the PFS Sparkling Diamonds plate, which I think was discontinued. That’s a shame, because I really do love this die cut. I adhered the lattice to the panel using liquid glue, and then began gluing the leaves in place. The sentiment was adhered using foam strips, and the flowers were the last thing to be adhered.

That does it for this project! While I do love the pastel vibe of Pinkfresh, I also love a dramatic Pinkfresh project as well! At this point, I’m challenging myself to create darker cards using their products. I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did! Thanks again for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Birthday Field Notes

Hello Friends and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the Field Notes Wildflowers along with the Molded Frame 3D Embossing Folder from the Spellbinders April releases. I got a little behind from traveling and then being sick for a week, so I’m playing a little bit of catch up! Let’s go ahead and go through the details for this one.

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

I began this project by creating the background first using the Molded Frame Embossing Folder, trimming it down slightly and then adding some splatter. The next step was to cut the flowers pieces using Neenah 110lb cardstock and Fern cardstock.

I placed tiny pieces of foam tape on one of the floral pieces and then adhered the other piece atop that for a more dimensional look. This was then adhered to the stem and black gems were added to the centers of the flowers.

The black strip is part of the wildflower set, but it was smaller than I wanted, so I just cut two of them and trimmed off one end of both. The sentiment was created using the Ideal Moments Sentiments BetterPress Plate along with black BetterPress ink.

The panel was adhered to the card base, the floral was glued in place along with the black strip and the sentiment was adhered with foam strips to finish up.

A simple project for today, but I love the classic look of white flowers on a white background. I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Spellbinders Birthday Cosmos

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Cosmos, as well as the Journal Grid in a clean and simple design. These products are from the May releases, and you should definitely check them out! Let’s go right into the details!

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

I began this project by cutting the Cosmos from Neenah 110lb cardstock and the pieces from pink and yellow cardstocks. I did some light ink blending on the petals using Peony ink, drew some veins with a pink colored pencil and assembled the flower with liquid glue. I wanted this flower on a stem so I used the Layered Wildflowers set and cut that from Green Apple cardstock with some ink blending with Pearfection ink.

The Journal Grid BetterPress Plate was inked using Misty Coast ink, trimmed down and gold splattered for some additional interest. I chose the light grey ink because I wanted a subtle background for this card.

I gold foiled the You Are Everything Plate onto Neenah 110lb and trimmed it out with the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts because I love that stacked sentiment look. The background was adhered to the card base and the leaves and flower were glued in place while the sentiment were adhered using foam strips.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out all of the May releases over on the Spellbinders website! Thanks again for joining me, and have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Thinking of You Anemone

Hello Friends, and thanks for stopping by! The May Spellbinders releases are live, and I’m back today with a project featuring the Anemone, along with the Script Text BetterPress Plate and the Summer Solstice Garden Sentiments. 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 began this project by die cutting the Anemone from Neenah 110lb cardstock, along with black and yellow for the pieces. I did some light ink blending on the petals using Peony ink. I knew that I was going to want some leaves, so I cut those using the Vivid Blooms set from Green Apple cardstock and did some ink blending on those with Pearfection ink.

I gold foiled the Script Text plate onto Neenah 110lb cardstock, and gold foiled the sentiment onto black cardstock. I trimmed out the sentiment with the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for a stacked sentiment. I trimmed the script background and gold splattered it before adhering it to a black panel.

The leaves were secured in place using liquid glue, while the flowers and the sentiment were adhered using foam strips. To finish up, everything was adhered to the card base, and I added some gold metallic pearls to one leaf.

That does it for this project! I hope you’ll take some time to check out all of the new May releases over on the Spellbinders website! There really is a lot of good stuff! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Floral Birthday Grid

Hello Friends, and welcome back! The May Spellbinders releases are live today, and I’m back with a project featuring the new Journal Grid along with the Anemone and Cosmos florals. Let’s run through the details for this one!

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 the Anemone and Cosmos flowers from Neenah 110lb, pink, yellow and black cardstocks. I did some light ink blending on the flowers using Bubblegum ink. Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers using liquid glue and set those aside while I figured out the rest of the card.

I went ahead and gold foiled the Journal Grid onto a panel of Neenah 110lb and added some gold splatter for additional interest. While I was foiling, I gold foiled the Summer Solstice Garden Sentiments onto black cardstock and trimmed that out with the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for a stacked look.

I adhered the grid to my card base using foam tape, and started playing around with placement. I decided that I need some other florals and leaves and cut those using Vivid Blooms and Sealed Wildflowers from pink, yellow and green cardstock. I did do some ink blending on one of the smaller flowers using Carnation ink and some Pearfection ink on the leaves.

I secured the leaves in place on the panel using liquid glue, followed by the smaller flowers and then the larger flowers. The sentiment was glued in place, and I added some Gold Metallic Pearls to finish up.

That does it for this project! Everyone knows that I love florals, so I really enjoyed this project! I think that I’m going to get a lot of use out of this Grid Journal Press Plate, as you can use it with inks and foils, which I love! Don’t forget to head over to the Spellbinders website to check out all of the new releases! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Mosaic Just Because

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I hope you’re doing well and having a great day! Today’s project is featuring the new Mosaic Petals Stencil from Simon’s latest release, You Are My Favorite. Let’s 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 cutting a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and putting my panel and stencil onto my Crafty Tacky Mat to begin the inking process. This is a five stencil set, and the inks that I used were Heather, Violet, Limelicious, Pearfection, Lemonade and Honey.

Once done with the inking, I trimmed the panel down using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and prepared the sentiment. I die cut the Fancy Just Because once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah, while cutting the shadow portion from green cardstock. I adhered the panel to the card base using foam tape and secured the sentiment with liquid glue. Some gold pearls were added to finish up.

That does it for this project! Like I said, a simple one! Don’t forget to head on over to check out the entire You Are My Favorite release! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

Simon Says Stamp In My Thoughts Botanical

Hello Crafters, and welcome back to my blog! I appreciate you stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Big Botanicals from Simon’s latest You Are My Favorite release. Let’s not waste time, and get right to the details!

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

I began this project by stamping the flower portion of this stamp using Sunbeam ink, and the leaf portion using Limelicious ink. I just used a Post-It to mask off the areas, so nothing super technical. I then used Copic Markers Y15, Y18, YG05, YG17 and YG23 to add color to the stamped image. I also went in with some colored pencils to add some extra detail to the shaded areas.

Once I was done with the coloring, I fussy cut the image out. As a note, there are coordinating dies for this stamp set, in case you aren’t a big fan of fussy cutting. My background panel was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and splattered with some gold ink. Once the splatter was dry, I stamped the sentiment, which is from the I’m Sorry set, using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.

My panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, and the floral was adhered using foam strips. I did add a few gold embellishments to tie everything together.

That does it for this project! A relatively clean and simple design for this one. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!
