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!

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 Glowing Daisies

Welcome back to my blog! Today’s project is featuring the Dewdrop Daisy from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. I had seen a photograph of a flower on Instagram that had these stunning colors, and I decided that I was going to try to recreate it with some ink blending! 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 by die cutting a bunch of times from Neenah cardstock. The flower has two layers when assembled, but I opted to add an additional layer for more fullness. The ink colors that I used for the flowers were Carnation, Heather and Morning. I started with the Carnation in the center of each piece and then added the Heather just outside of that, and then added the Morning on the ends of the petals. Once done with that ink blending, I glued the pieces together and added the black center piece using foam tape.

My background was created using a plum colored cardstock that was silver splattered before adding the Whirl Diamond Plate that was cut from Moonflower cardstock. If there are flowers, you know that I have to have lots of leaves! I die cut the Budding Branches several times from Lavender cardstock, as well as from matte silver cardstock. The edges of the lavender leaves were ink blended with some Iris ink for some depth and dimension.

I began the assembly by arranging the flowers and securing the purple leaves first and then the silver leaves, just slightly offset so that you could get a glimpse of everything. The flowers were secured with foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment was stamped onto the same plum cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using silver embossing powder. It was trimmed out several times, adhered together and then secured to the card front. Because the Budding Branches have spaces for “buds,” I always like adding embellishments there. I added purple crystals to the purple “buds” and matte silver pearls to the silver “buds” to finish up.

That does it for this beauty! When I showed my friend this card, her reply was, “those flowers are glowing,” hence the name of the post! I thought this was a really gorgeous color combination and enjoy putting this card together. Don’t forget to check out the entire Shine On release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Tattered Florals

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring and older floral die set from Simon. This set has several pieces to it, which includes a detail die cut, the solid petal die cut and the center die cut. For this project, I only used the solid petal die cut. Let’s go through the deets!

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

I pulled a panel of watercolor paper and added some very soft rainbow colors and let those mix to create the oranges and purples. Once that was dry, I did some splatter using Dina Wakely Gloss Sprays, which I guess have been discontinued on Simon’s website, as well as lots of gold splatter. I did some stamping on the panel using the Crackle Background along with a Tim Holtz set.

Once all of that was complete, I die cut bunches of petals from the Cosmo Flower Petals set, which has been discontinued, and distressed the edges with the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser tool. My apologies for using a set that has been discontinued, I was not aware that it was no longer available. I’ll try to find another flower that can be used in the same way. The centers of the flowers were cut using black cardstock and the petals were secured in place using liquid glue. I did opt to add Glossy Accents to a couple of the flower centers for some added interest.

The background panels were cut using the Stitched Rectangles along with some gold splatter on those as well. They were secured to the card base, the flowers were added and some sentiment strips were added to finish up.

That does it for this project. I really love the tattered edges of these flowers paired with the soft pastel colors. I hope you do as well! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Simon Says Stamp Amazing Floral

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I recently ordered the Wild & Free Flowers product suite and promptly made a card with it using some darker colors. Let’s 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 one of the florals onto a panel of Neenah cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it with clear embossing powder. I then used the stencils to do some ink blending using Seafoam, Surf, Ocean, Sprout, Fairway and Field. Once that was complete, I used the coordinating dies to trim out the image.

I knew that I wanted a dark background, so I pulled some Forest cardstock and cut a panel of that using the Sparkler Scallop Frames with a good dose of white splatter. I also cut another panel of Forest cardstock for the other background. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark Ink, heat set using white embossing powder and trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment.

The splattered background was adhered to the other Forest background using foam tape for a bit of added dimension, while the flower was adhered using thin foam squares, and the sentiment was glued directly to the panel. I added some dew drops to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you like it! I really love working with darker colors, but don’t do it that often, so maybe I need to mix that in a bit more! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Graceful Hugs

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s post is a pretty, pastel floral featuring the Graceful Flowers stamp set that I picked up while I was at the CREATE event back in April. 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 floral onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaMark ink and heat setting that using white embossing powder. I then pulled the Bubblegum, Seafoam and Zest inks to do some simple watercoloring. I smooshed the ink onto my glass mat and added the ink to the image using a water brush. When done with that, I used the coordinating die to trim it out. I did add a little bit of black detail to the centers of the flowers using a Copic Multliner pen to bring out some of those details.

The background panel was created by cutting a panel of seafoam cardstock using the Teardrop Pinpoint Frames and giving it a good dose of white splatter. You guys know that I always need more leaves, so I pulled the Lush Leaves die and cut that from white and silver cardstock. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using clear embossing powder.

The background panel was added to the card base, the silver leaves were secured with liquid glue, then the white leaves, the floral was adhered with foam tape, the sentiment was secured and some dew drops were added to finish up this project.

And, that does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I think this is a really pretty color combo and look forward to creating another project using them. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

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 Thanks Floral Hexagon

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for joining me! Today’s project is featuring the new Elongated Hexagons from Simon’s latest release, Always There. When I saw these hexagons, I knew that I wanted to create a floral card, because that’s what I do! Florals are my jam, and I just can’t help that! Let’s go ahead and go through the details for this project.

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

I began the project by die cutting my florals using the Aurora Blooms, which I happened to pick up while I was at CREATE. I did some ink blending on the flowers using Seafoam, Surf, Mint and Sun-kissed inks. Those were then assembled and set aside while I worked on the other elements of the card.

I die cut a frame using the Elongated Hexagons, added some light ink blending using the Seafoam ink and embossed that center portion using the Tiny Floral Embossing Folder. The Thanks, which is from a retired set, was cut once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah for a stacked look, which we all love! Before assembling the card, I did some heavy white splatter on the leaves for some added interest.

The card base was gold splattered and the hexagons were adhered using liquid glue. The leaves were secured with glue as well, while the flowers were adhered using foam tape. The sentiment and gold pearls were added to finish up this project.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you’ll swing by and check out the entire Always There release. Thanks for stopping by!

Because these are Simon branded products, they will be restocked as necessary, so yay! I hope you all have a fabulous day!
