STAMPtember CZ Design Exclusive

Hello Crafters, and welcome back! Are you having a wonderful STAMPtember with all of the releases, collabs and the new Tim Holtz class coming up? Oh my word, there’s so much going on! For Simon’s 17th year of STAMPtember, they are celebrating CZ Design! Several new products are being released, and I’ll be sharing more, but for today’s post, I’m focusing on the Oh My Goth products. 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 ink blending a panel using Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Villainous Potion. Once satisfied with the blend, I trimmed out the panel using the A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles and added some splatter. I then stamped the house, bats and moon from the Oh My Goth set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed them using clear embossing powder. I kept heating and adding more powder to get that thicker, shinier finish.

I then die cut all of those elements and used a grey copic marker to color the edges since I had stamped everything onto white cardstock. The Oh My Goth sentiment was cut from black mirror cardstock, as well as black and Green Apple cardstock. I think this would have also been cool to cut from purple mirror cardstock, but I didn’t have that! My panel was adhered to a black panel for contrast, the house was glued in place, while the bats and sentiment were adhered using foam tape. The card base got a black splatter and the windows were colored yellow to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope I’ve inspired your spooky creations for the season! Stay tuned over on Instagram for my other CZ Design projects using other fun, new products! Have a wonderful day, and Happy STAMPtember!

Altenew Seasonal Blooms Card Duo

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! For today’s project, I pulled an older kit from my stash to create with! It was about time, as I had never used this Craft Your Life Seasonal Blooms kit before! Why? Who knows! But, I had fun creating these two cards and really want to spend some time creating more! It’s a really great kit as it includes the stamp set, coordinating dies, stencils and an embossing folder! So many opportunities for beautiful projects! Let’s go ahead and run through the details, shall we?

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

I began these project by stamping the large floral image onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using clear embossing powder. I then used the coordinating stencils to add color with Sunbeam, Honey, Carnation, Perfection and Gingerbread inks. For even more depth on the image, I went back in with some colored pencils to enhance the shadows.

This was a large image, so I really wanted to get two cards out of it, so I decided on the place to cut it apart. I did not want some weird cut off portion of a flower, so I ended up cutting around a leaf and you can’t even tell! For one half of the image, I used some Copic Multiliner pens to color the white edges and portions black, as I would be adhering it to a black panel. The half of the image, I left as is because I was going to mount it onto a white panel.

The sentiments were cut several times using black and gold cardstock and adhered together for that stacked sentiment that we all love. My white panel was cut using a postage set, and both panels got a dose of gold splatter. The florals were adhered using foam tape, while the sentiments were glued directly to the panels. I added some gold metallic pearls to finish up both of these projects.

That does it for this post! I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did. Not even sure why I hadn’t used this kit .. maybe it was the out of sight, out of mind situation! Anyhoo, I’m glad that I did, and found myself on the Altenew website looking at other Craft Your Life kits! Shhhh! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Amazing Daisies

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the Dewdrop Daisy from a recent Simon release, paired with some other elements. Let’s go ahead and go through the deets!

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

I began this project by die cutting two of the daisies from white cardstock and the centers from black cardstock. I did some ink blending using Melon, Cantalope and Sherbet and adhered the pieces of my flower together. The background panel was made using a piece of patterned paper from Arden Creative, along with some stamping, some rub-on transfers and some splatter.

Once satisfied with the background, I distressed and curled the edges a little bit before adhering the inked up frame using foam tape. I did use some Seafoam ink as well as some of the ink from my orange brush to ink it up. The leaves from the daisy set were cut once from white cardstock and once from Fog cardstock. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using white embossing powder and trimmed out several times.

The background panel was added to a black panel for contrast, the leaves were glued in place while the sentiment and flowers were adhered with foam tape.

And that finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I like when patterned paper can do most of the work for the background! Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Simon Says Stamp Hello Bloom

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Sometimes I like creating backgrounds with small dies, and today’s post features just that! I paired the hello from Simon’s newer set, Paper Cut Word Mix 1 along with the Tim Holtz Bloom Colorize. Let’s run through the deets!

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

I began this project by die cutting all of the hello pieces first from black mirror cardstock and regular black cardstock. All of those were adhered together and set aside. I then die cut the pieces of the flower and leaves from pink, yellow, Fern, Forest, Sage and Beeswax cardstock. Of course I have to add ink blending, so I used Carnation, Peony, Rose, Honey, Sage and Pine for that.

Once everything was ink blended, I assembled my pieces and gave the leaves and black background panel some gold splatter. The background panel got trimmed down using the A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles before securing the hello sentiments with liquid glue. The excess was trimmed off and the panel was adhered to another black panel before being adhered to the card base.

The leaves and yellow flowers were glued in place, and the pink flower was secured with a bit of foam tape to finish up.

This project was a bit time consuming, but I absolutely love how it turned out, and I hope you do too! Thanks again for stopping by to check out today’s project, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!

Simon Says Stamp Butterbloom Color Blocks

Hey There! Thanks so much for swinging by to check out today’s project! This one is featuring a newer product and an older one from a card kit. So, let’s just 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 die cutting the Butterbloom Flowers from Neenah 110lb cardstock and cutting the stems from Green Apple cardstock. I ink blended those using Cheeky, Blush, Butter, Honey, Seafoam, Ocean and Pearfection. Once done, I assembled the flowers and attached the stems.

I die cut a panel using the Sparkler Scallop Frames and used the Long Stem Florals Color Block Stencil to add the blocks of color and then added the florals. I decided afterwards that some black splatter would have been good, so I placed some torn paper towels over the middle section and gave it a light splatter.

The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using white embossing powder, trimmed out several times and then adhered to the card using foam tape to finish up.

It’s a relatively simple design, but I will admit that I had to do the color blocks twice, because I did not get the spacing correct the first time. Oops! Mistakes happen! Thanks so much for swinging by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Hi There Blooms

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for stopping by! I’m back today with a post featuring the Sunflower Blooms and Chunky Ovals from Simon’s latest release, Every Happiness. I chose to go in a pink/purplish direction with my sunflowers for this one, 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 began by die cutting the florals and leaves from Neenah 110lb cardstock. Normally, I probably would have cut these from colored cardstock, but I was borrowing my friend’s die while she was visiting and I didn’t know what I was going to be making at the time. So, I just felt that I would have more options if they were cut from white cardstock. I did some ink blending on the flowers and leaves using Carnation, Lilac, Orchid, Aspen and Pine. For the centers of the flowers, I just used a black Copic marker to color those.

Once everything was ink blended, I went ahead and assembled the flowers and figured out the rest of my design. I stamped the floral from the Beautiful Flowers set onto a panel of black cardstock, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using clear embossing powder for a tone on tone effect. I then used the Chunky Ovals to trim it down, along with a panel of Lavender cardstock. My sentiment was stamped using VersaMark, heat set using white embossing powder, and trimmed out several times.

I went ahead and black splattered my card base, adhered the ovals and began securing the leaves with liquid glue, while the flowers were adhered using foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment was also added with foam tape, and some clear gems were added to finish up.

That does it for this project! I really love using dark colors sometimes, and I thought this dark background would pair well with the dark centers of the flowers. Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have yourself a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Bellflower Hugs

Hey There, Friends and welcome back! Today’s post is featuring the new Bellflower Blossoms Stencil from Simon’s latest release, Every Happiness. Let’s get into the deets!

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

I began this project by ink blending the stencils using Aspen, Sage, Clay, Terracotta, Honey, Surf and Ocean. Once I was done with that, I felt like the flowers needed a bit of grounding, so I opted to scribble around the images using a Copic Multiliner pen. I wasn’t too careful with this, and didn’t really try to be too perfect with it. Before moving on, I gave the panel some gold splatter, because I love splatter!

The panel was then trimmed down using the Sparkler Scallop Frames. I die cut the Lush Leaves once from Waterfall and gold cardstock, and did some ink blending on the colored cardstock using the same Ocean ink. The leaves were then adhered to the panel in a side swag fashion, if you will. The sentiment was cut from gold and white cardstock, adhered together and glued directly to the panel to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Bedazzled Hello

Hello, Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s quick project using the new Bedazzled Embossing Folder along with the Paper Cut Word Mix from Simon’s latest release, Every Happiness. Here’s 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 embossing a panel of Neenah 110 cardstock using the folder and doing some ink blending using Shell, Sherbet and Punch inks. I did pull my color inspiration from The Color Cubes, because I wanted to try something a little different. Once I was done with that, I added a black panel for some contrast and added a tiny black gem to the centers of the medallion if you will.

I then die cut the hello from gold and black cardstock, adhered all of those together and added it to the panel using foam tape.

See, super simple project for today! The longest part was adding all of the gems! Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day! Don’t forget to stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Amazing Petals

Hey There, Crafty Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s post featuring the new Tissue Petal Stems from Simon’s Every Happiness release. I borrowed this set from a friend, but I might just have to add it to my cart, because I love how they turned out! Let’s 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 floral pieces lots of times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. Like I said, I borrowed this from a friend and had no idea at the time how I would be using it, so I thought it best to just cut from white cardstock. I did some ink blending on the pieces using Cheeky, Zest, Honey and Cabbage. Once I was done with the ink blending, I went ahead and assembled the flowers.

The background panel was created using Teal Topaz cardstock along with the Crimped A2 Rectangles and some gold and white splatter. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink, heat set with white embossing powder and layered up. I glued my flowers in place, after much playing around with placement, and added the sentiment with foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this project! I really love yellowish orange flowers against the teal background! Have you checked out the Every Happiness release yet? I’d love to know your favorites! Until next time, have a fabulous day, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Take Care Florals

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! There’s a fun Instagram Hop going on today to celebrate the Simon Every Happiness release! You don’t want to miss your opportunity to discover some new inspiration and to win a $25 gift card! Head over there and comment along the hop for your chance to win! Today’s project was a fun one for me, because we all know that I love florals! My card today is featuring the new Leafdance Flowers and Frame so 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 my project by die cutting the pieces from Windy, Lavender and Beeswax cardstock. I did some ink blending on the leaf portions using Summer Shower and Seaside inks, while the ink blending on the flowers used Amethyst ink. I assembled the flowers and set those aside while I worked on the rest of the card. I knew that I wanted a darker background to showcase the florals, so I opted for Rain Forest cardstock.

For some added interest on the background, I added some silver splatter. The sentiment was cut using Matte Silver cardstock and also from black cardstock. All of those layers were adhered together for a stacked sentiment. This sentiment has been discontinued, which makes me sad because it’s always been a favorite, so any sentiment from your stash would work just as well! I adhered the leaf frame portion to my background, added the flowers using small bits of foam tape and secured the sentiment with liquid glue to finish up.

Another beautiful floral project in the books! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Don’t forget to check out the entire Every Happiness release, and head over to Instagram to join the hop! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have yourself a fabulous day!
