Simon Says Stamp Painted Rainbow Birthday

Hello Friends, and thank you so much for stopping by. Are you getting lots of inspiration from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Dear Friend? What are your favorites from this release? I’ve really enjoyed playing with the Painted Rainbow background stamp, and today’s post features another project using that stamp. So, let’s run through the details!

To begin, I popped a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock in the Misti and stamped the different pieces of stamp using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in an assortment of Bubblegum, Cheeky, Melon, Lemonade, Seafoam and Lilac. I stamped one portion of the stamp, cleaned it, and moved on to the next portion with the next color. Once the background was completed, I trimmed it down using the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles.

I stamped the birthday sentiment from the SSS Clean Line Stacks set onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set that using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating die to trim out the sentiment, cutting it an additional two more times and adhering all of those together using liquid glue.

The sentiment was then adhered in the center of the panel, and I added some coordinating PinkFresh Studio Jewels along the arches of the rainbow for added interest and bling. Because, every card needs just a little bit of bling! Well, I guess this is a lot of bling!

The panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape for some extra dimension, because dimension is life!

That does it for this project! Super simple, but I love the way it turned out! The jewels coordinate so well with the Simon ink colors! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty! Don’t forget to check out the entire Dear Friend release over on Simon’s website. Have a wonderful day and stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Dreamy Daisy Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back to my blog! Today’s card is featuring the new Painted Rainbow background stamp from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Dear Friend. This is such a fun release and I had lots of fun playing with different color combos using this stamp. Let’s get to the details!

This is a pull apart stamp, so you can stamp the arches of the rainbow as close or as far apart as you’d like them. I did do a card that has the spacing as the stamp is put together, and you’ll see that another day. Anyhoo, I began by placing a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock in the Misti and stamping the arches in the selected colors of SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink, which are Seafoam, Surf, Violet, Amethyst and Lilac.

Once I had stamped enough to cover a panel, I trimmed it down using the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles. I then cut several flowers using the SSS Dreamy Daisy Layers and did some light ink blending on them using the Seafoam ink. I also cut some leaves using the SSS Winsome Branch. I adhered the flowers together using Bearly Art Glue and set everything aside while I worked on the sentiment.

I’m running short on birthday cards, so I opted to use the SSS Basic Box Card Happy Birthday die and cut it three times, adhering all of those together for added dimension. I began the placement and assembly of the card by gluing the leaves under the flowers and gluing the larger daisy directly to the panel. The other two flowers were adhered using SSS 3D Foam Squares.

I nestled the sentiment in the middle using glue and added some PFS Iridescent Clear Drops for that little bit of bling and shine. Everything was then adhered to the card base, which is Neenah 110lb cardstock.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty! Thanks so much for joining me, and my apologies for the extended break. Don’t forget to check out the entire Dear Friend release and let me know your favorites! Have a wonderful day and stay awesome!

Honeycomb and Triangle Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends and thanks for joining me toady! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted here, but it’s good to be back in the studio creating and having fun! Today’s card set is featuring several products, some new and some older favorites. So, let’s go through the details!

To begin, I cut several backgrounds from Neenah 110lb cardstock using the new-ish Concord and 9th Honeycomb Quilt Top die and the Triangle Background. These are so much fun and there are so many possibilities for awesome cards using different designs, as well as different color combinations. Once the backgrounds were cut, I pulled out two different sets of color combos using Concord and 9th cardstock and used the included dies to cut the triangles and hexagons.

For the first card, I stamped the sentiment from the SSS Clean Line Stacks onto black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating die set to trim it out along with two additional die cuts and adhered those together using glue. I determined the placement of the triangles and adhered the sentiment to the panel and began adhering the triangles using SSS 3D Foam Squares. The panel was then adhered to a black panel for contrast, and then to the card base. Once completed, I added some PFS Matte Gold Metallic Pearls for some added bling.

On the second card, I die cut the SSS Basic Box Card Happy Birthday sentiment three times from black cardstock, and adhered all of those together using liquid glue. Again, I adhered the sentiment and began adhering the triangles using foam squares for dimension. For this one, I added some shiny PFS Gold Metallic Pearls.

For the third card, I switched to the Honeycomb Quilt Top dies. Once again, I die cut the sentiment three times and glued those together and then glued it directly to the panel and adhered the hexagons using foam squares. For that added bling, I added some PFS Twilight Ombre Glitter Drops to finish it off before adhering everything to the card base.

I actually ended up making eleven cards using these two cover plate dies from Concord and 9th, most of them being birthday cards since my stash has kind of dwindled over time. It was super easy to do the cutting, and then sit and assemble.

I hope you enjoyed these cards, and I hope they inspire you to get crafty. Thanks again for stopping by today, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

PinkFresh Studio Folk Garden Birthday

Hey Guys! Ok, I have to say it .. I’m in love with this PinkFresh Studio Folk Garden set! I ordered the foil plate, die cut and stencils, and it’s a great combination. I’m sure I’ll end up getting the stamp at some point, but am super happy with my purchase! So, let’s get into today’s project, which I love!

I began my project by foiling the Folk Garden plate on a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock using the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System. I then used the coordinating stencils to add color using PinkFresh Studio Inks Ocean Breeze, Aquamarine, Ballet Slipper and Sparkling Rose and cut that panel using the coordinating die.

I needed a background for all of my leaves, so I stamped the Diamond Tiles on Neenah 110lb using Misty Coast Ink, and used the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles to trim it out. The longest part of this project was cutting all the little pieces of 3M Foam Tape to put on the back of the leaves! I placed those on my panel and trimmed off the excess.

I had in my mind that I wanted to add a really pretty gold sentiment .. guess what? I was out of gold cardstock! How does that even happen?! With that being said, I had to switch directions. My birthday card stash is seriously lacking, so I obviously went with that. I die cut the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Classic Words Die set twice from Neenah 110lb and I cut the shadow twice from the same. I needed to add color to one of the layers, and the easiest way to do that was to lay the die cut back into the negative piece and lightly ink blend over the bottom portion of my die. Once that was done, I adhered all of my layers together using Craft Tacky Glue.

My sentiment was adhered directly to the leaves and I added my required bling using the PinkFresh Studio Jewels Mix. My panel was then adhered to my card base, which is also Neenah 110lb.

I think this project came out really pretty, and I’m super happy with it! I’m so glad that you stopped by today, and I hope this project inspires you to get creative too! Don’t forget to stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Mini Stars Party Birthday Card

All the Feels Release

Hello! Hello! Thanks for stopping by today! The new Simon Says Stamp All the Feels release is AMAZING! What are your favorites? I would love to know!

For today’s project, I’m featuring the new Mini Stars Party die cut. Remember the Mini Hearts Party die from the Love You release? Same idea, just with stars! So let’s get started! To begin my project, I die cut a bunch of strips using the Pretty Pink Posh Simple Strips from various colored cardstocks. I used a tape runner to put down some adhesive on a thin piece of white paper and adhered my strips to that.

I die cut the Mini Stars Party die once out of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb cardstock. While I was cutting, I went ahead and cut the Happy Birthday sentiment twice from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb, and cut the shadow twice from black cardstock. I went ahead and adhered the sentiment pieces together using Craft Tacky Glue. I ended up trimming down the Mini Stars Party die because I wanted it to fit across my striped panel without any overhang.

I adhered the star panel directly to my striped panel using glue, and then adhered the Happy Birthday sentiment on top of the stars using 3M Foam Tape. Why foam tape? Because dimension is life! I added some of the white stars to the panel as well using foam tape for interest.

Because I like dimension and contrast, I adhered my striped panel to a black cardstock panel and then adhered that to my 5 x 7 card base, which is Neenah Classic Crest 110lb that I had previously splattered with some thinned black gouache.

That’s it for today’s project! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out the new All the Feels release! You won’t be disappointed! Thanks again for stopping by!

Stay awesome!

Birthday Bouquet

PinkFresh Studio Joyful Bouquet

Hey there! It has been way too long, I know! I’m new at this and am working to find myself a groove! Anyhoo, I’m glad you stopped by!

I just received my PinkFresh Studio shipment, which included the new Joyful Bouquet stamp, die and washi set, and I had to play right away! To begin my project I rolled out this beautiful washi onto some Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and used the coordinating die to cut all of the pieces out.

I used the PinkFresh Studio Stitched Scallop Rectangles to cut a panel of 110lb cardstock and die cut the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Classic Words die set. I cut the sentiment three times from 110lb cardstock and once from gold cardstock. Why? Because dimension is life! I will never stop saying that! I adhered all of my sentiment pieces together using Craft Tacky Glue.

I needed a background for my frame, so I stamped the PinkFresh Studio Diamond Tiles on a piece of 110lb cardstock using Misty Coast ink. Once that was done, I trimmed my stamped panel a tad bit smaller than my frame, and adhered those together using 3M Foam Tape.

I just need to say … This washi is GORGEOUS! Moving on, I played around with the positioning of my sentiment and flowers to get the perfect placement and then adhered my sentiment to the panel using Craft Tacky Glue and adhered my floral pieces using foam tape. I trimmed the excess off with scissors.

My panel was then adhered to my card base, which is Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock. And as we all know, no card is complete without some bling, am I right? I used the PinkFresh Jewels Mix to add that needed sparkle to my project.

That does it for my project today! I’m so glad that you stopped by and I hope this inspires you to get crafty in your space.

Don’t forget to stay awesome!
