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!

Happiest Friday to you! I hope everyone has had a great week! Today’s project is featuring the Sunflower Blooms from @simonsaysstamp latest release, Every Happiness. I chose to use a different color palette for the sunflowers because, why not?!?! I kind of like the pink and purple against the black background! You can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. Hope you have a great day and a wonderful weekend! Happiest Friday, Lovelies! I hope you’re not sick of the florals, because I just can’t help myself! This one is using the Bellflower Blossoms from @simonsaysstamp latest release, Every Happiness. I felt like this stencil needed some grounding, so I opted to loosely scribble around the images. The other products used are oldies but goodies! You can find more details over on my blog at redsas.co. Have a great Friday! Sending you a Bedazzled Hello this morning! This project is using the new Bedazzled Embossing Folder and the Paper Cut Word Mix set from @simonsaysstamp Every Happiness release. I pulled my color inspiration from The Color Cubes, because I was feeling a little stuck in my color rut, and I quite like how this one came out! You can find more deets for this project, as well as others, over on my blog at redsas.co. Yesterday on the @simonsaysstamp YouTube live with Heidi, she commented on how many gorgeous florals are in the new Every Happiness release, and I couldn’t agree more! So today, I’m continuing on with the florals using the Tissue Petal Stems! I actually borrowed this set from my friend, @teacher11494 who also creates gorgeous floral cards, and decided that I needed to purchase it for myself! Because, who doesn’t need another floral added to their stash, am I right?! There’s a blog post over at redsas.co with all of the info, if you happened to be interested. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! Today I’m participating in a Simon Says Stamp Instagram hop, and we’re featuring the Every Happiness release!

Simon Says Stamp Friendly Butterflies

Welcome back crafty friends! So glad you stopped by to check out today’s project featuring the Dewpierce Butterfly once again. I’ve had so much fun creating with this die, and it’s probably getting about time to put it away for a little bit, and move on to something else! Anyway, 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 butterflies from yellow and black cardstock and ink blended the edges using Honey ink. Those were assembled and set aside while I worked on the rest of the card. The background panel was actually a panel that I already had in my stash which had yellow splatter on it, so I just added some black splatter.

I die cut the filmstrip from black, added the PET Tape to the panel and then secured the filmstrip over the tape with liquid glue. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using gold embossing powder and trimmed out three times for a stacked sentiment.

The splattered panel was adhered to a black panel with foam tape for contrast, the sentiment was glued in place, as were the butterflies to finish up.

That does it for this project! Do you ever have panels lying around and feel a sense of accomplishment when you can finally find it a home?! That was my feeling with this one! And, I just love the butterflies AND the PET Tape. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!
