Together By Design Featuring Distress Oxides

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:  Distress Oxides

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

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

My project got pretty detailed, and I apologize for that, but let’s go ahead and run through the details! I began by creating the background first using Distress Oxide sprays in Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Broken China. I did also use regular Distress spray in Gathered Twigs. I was drying my panel between ink applications, so that I would get some good color variations. Once I was satisfied with the background, I did some stamping using various Tim Holtz sets from my stash, and trimmed it down using A2 Postage Rectangles. I knew that I wanted some texture as well, so I mixed some Ranger Transparent Texture Paste with some Distress Salvaged Patina Paint and added that through the TCW Mini Well Rounded Stencil. I’m not even sure if this stencil is still available, but any stencil that you love would work just great!

For the focal image, I stamped the Floral Trims stamp onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set that using clear embossing powder. I then did some watercoloring using Distress Oxide ink pads in Salvaged Patina and Walnut Stain. While I was creating my background panel, I went ahead and created another panel that I used to cut the frame surrounding the floral. That was trimmed out using the same postage set and adhered to the floral.

The background panel was adhered to a black panel for contrast, and then adhered to the card base. I added some bits from the Tim Holtz Curator Ephemera Pack, as well as some Field Notes PET Tape from 49 and Market. The floral was adhered using foam tape and some black butterflies were added to tie in all of the black stamping. The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Theories Quote Chips set that I added some Salvaged Patina ink to and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it a bit of shine.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you’ll stop by again next month to find out what our featured product or brand will be! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Black Out Peony

Hello Friends, and welcome back to my blog! Today’s project is once again featuring the Peony and Bells Embossing Folder and Die from Simon’s latest release, Always There. Let’s get into the details!

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

I began this project by embossing the folder onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and ink blending using Bubblegum, Carnation and Celery inks. Once satisfied with the ink blending, I used a black ink pad to rub over the raised portion of the panel.

The sentiment was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder. I used the coordinating die to trim it out three times for a stacked sentiment.

The sentiment and dew drops were secured with liquid glue to finish up this project. A super simple project, but I love the look of the black next to the pink and green!

Thanks for stopping by to check out this project! Be sure to check out the entire Always There release over on Simon’s website. Have yourself an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Artsy Butterflies Text

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I’m so glad you stopped by today to check out this project featuring the Artsy Butterflies. Let’s get right into the details!

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

If you’re like me, you’re hoarding patterned paper like it’s never going to be made again, am I right?! I decided that I would part with a little bit of it, and stamp the Artsy Butterflies onto a panel of pastel marble paper from P13 using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder. I then used the coordinating dies to trim them out, along with a black layer as well. I will link to a similar patterned paper at the bottom of this post.

The background is a combination of things with the bottom layer being a panel of ColorBlend cardstock that was black splattered and then a panel of Dina Wakely transparency that I smeared with Distress Paint.

The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using detail white embossing powder and trimmed out with three additional cuts for a stacked sentiment. I adhered the black butterfly to the stamped butterfly using foam squares, and then those were adhered to the transparency using strong double sided tape. To adhere the transparency to the colored panel, I put some strips of the same tape on the backside underneath the butterflies so that you wouldn’t be able to see it. The sentiment was secured with the same tape as well.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you have a great day!

Simon Says Stamp Grateful Heart

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s post is featuring the new Crocus Duo from Simon’s latest release. This ended up being a twofer project, but I’m only writing about one of them today, so 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 knew that I wanted my Crocus flowers to be purple, so I die cut the flowers several times from three different colors of purple cardstock. Once I had cut all of the flowers, I did some ink blending on them using Crocus and Lilac inks, and assembled them. The flowers are only two layers, but I cut an additional layer to be adhered to the back. While I was cutting, I did cut the stems and grass from green cardstock.

My background was created using a very old Simon background stamped onto a very pale blue cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat embossing it with white powder. This is where the twofer part comes in to play. I die cut that blue panel using the Whirl Diamond Plate, but only used the inner circles for this project. I also die cut a panel of Moonflower cardstock using that same plate. Before assembling this part, I decided that I wanted those inner circles black splattered.

This background ended up being a little bit of work, but I think it was worth it in the end. I went ahead and glued the Moonflower panel to the card base, and inlaid the splattered blue circles. After playing with the flower arrangement, I decided that it might be pretty to add some grass pieces that were similar to the other cardstock colors that I was using.

The flowers were adhered using foam tape, while the stems and various leaves were secured with liquid glue. The sentiment was stamped, white heat embossed, trimmed out and adhered to the panel with glue as well. To finish up, I added some dew drops for added interest.

That does it for this project. I hope you like it! I’ll post the other project using the rest of the background at some later date. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Together By Design Color Cube Floral

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 Watercolor Wild Rose

Hello! Hello! Thanks so much for swinging by to check out today’s project featuring the new Wild Rose stamp set from Simon’s latest In My Heart release! Let’s get into it!

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

I began this project by stamping both of the florals onto a large panel using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting them with clear embossing powder. I then did a very loos watercolor wash over both and went back in with darker details and shadowing. Once everything was dry, I fussy cut both images, as I did not have the coordinating dies.

The background panels were created with black splatter and the Nested Stitched Rectangles. Both sentiments were stamped with VersaMark Ink, heat set using Detail White Embossing Powder and cut multiple times with the coordinating dies.

The florals were adhered using foam tape, while the sentiments were secured with liquid glue. I thought some clear drops were a nice finishing touch.

That does it for this one! I’m not very good at watercolor, but I enjoy it when I do give it a try. Don’t forget to check out the entire In My Heart release, 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! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Blended Daisies

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! The Beautiful Moments release is live, and I’m back with a project featuring the new Groovy Daisies with a soft blend. 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 Groovy Daisies onto a panel using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossing it using clear embossing powder. I knew that I wanted to double heat emboss, and when I do this, I stamp the second time with VersaMark ink and heat again using clear powder. I do this because, during the heating process, I find that the paper warps a tiny bit and if I stamp again in black, it can sometimes be slightly off. By stamping the second time with VersaMark, you don’t notice that.

I really love how the ink blending turned out using Bubblegum, Lilac, Marine and Seafoam inks. Once done with the ink blending, I trimmed the panel down using the new A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles, and mounted it onto a black panel for contrast. The sentiment was cut once from Matte Silver cardstock and twice from black cardstock, while the shadow portion was cut four times. All of those were adhered together using liquid glue for a stacked sentiment. I added some matte silver pearls to the some of the flowers to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you like it, and I hope you’ll stop by and check out the entire Beautiful Moments release! Thanks again for swinging by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Together By Design featuring Kristina Werner with Concord and 9th

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:  Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

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

For this month’s project, I opted to use several products from Kristina including the Pretty Posies Background Stamp, along with Pretty Posies Dies, Written Words Stamps and the Long Line Leaves Dies. My design ended up being a twofer, hence using multiple sentiment sets. Let’s go through the detail

I began by stamping the Pretty Posies Background onto a panel of black cardstock using VeraMark Ink and heat setting that using Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder. I then took my scissors and fussy cut around the flowers creating two separate panels.

Truth be told, I could have cut the panel apart better and ended up with a larger second panel, but what was done was done! Before adhering the panels with foam tape, I did gold splatter both card bases, stamped the Feel Better Soon sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink and heat set that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.

I die cut the sentiment for the other card three times using the same black cardstock for a stacked sentiment look, along with three small flowers for added interest. To finish up, I added some gold gems to the centers of the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did! I don’t often do twofer projects, but am pleasantly surprised when it happens that way! Stay tuned next month where we will feature a different brand that all of us will be creating with! Stay awesome, friend and have an awesome day!

Happiest Wednesday to you! I got myself in a grungy mood with the Dewpierce Butterfly from @simonsaysstamp latest release, Always There, so I created this card the other day. Sometimes when I think of grungy, I think of darker, neutral colors but I put a spin on this with some pastels instead. You can find all of the deets, as well as more pictures and a full product list over on my blog at redsas.co. Hope you all have a fabulous day!

I created this black out card the other day, which features the new Peony and Bells Embossing Folder from the @simonsaysstamp Always There release. I really enjoy this technique because it’s not about being perfect! Being perfect is cool and all, but perfection rarely works out in my experience.
