Pinkfresh Best Tulips

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I recently purchased some new Pinkfresh products and needed to play with the Timeless Tulips product suite! It’s so very pretty, and I just couldn’t wait any longer! Let’s go ahead and go 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 this project by gold foiling the tulips onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock. I then used the coordinating stencils to ink blend using Berrylicious, Sweet Mustard, Eucalyptus and Evergreen. I tried to concentrate color at the base of the flowers and leaves to give some added depth. Once satisfied, I used the coordinating die to trim it out.

The background is a very dark green that I dry embossed the Lush Vines Foil Plate onto. I then gold splattered that before adhering the frame, which was created using two of the Double Stitched Rectangles. I left most of the bottom of the frame open so that I could tuck the tulips down into it. The sentiment was gold foiled onto that same dark green cardstock and trimmed out three times for a stacked sentiment. That was glued directly to the panel and the panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape to finish up.

A pretty easy yet beautiful project! The product suites from Pinkfresh make it super easy to create gorgeous projects, so you should definitely check them out, if you haven’t already! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous week!

Simon Says Stamp Bird Branches

Hello Friends! I’m so glad that you stopped by to check out today’s project featuring the new Bold Bird Branches Embossing Folder from Simon’s latest release Moments In Time. 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 embossing the folder onto a panel of Fern cardstock and rubbing Kale ink over the raised portions of the panel. That left the leaves, flowers and birds the original color. I then took a scrap of Neenah 110lb cardstock and used the included die cut to cut the birds, and then run them through with the folder to get the texture.

The birds were ink blended using Seafoam, Surf and Heather inks. I decided that the flowers on the panel needed some color, so I colored those using Salvaged Patina Distress Paint and a paintbrush. I adhered a black jewel for the eyes on the birds and secured them to the panel using foam strips.

The sentiment is from the new I See You EZ Strips set that I gold foiled and trimmed down. This was adhered with foam strips as well and I added some gold gems to the centers of the flowers to finish up.

Another simple project for today. I really like the look of this technique of adding color to the raised portions of an embossed panel. Have you tried it yet? Don’t forget to stop by and check out the entire Moments In Time release. Thanks again for stopping in, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Thanks Citrus Spritz

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the Citrus Spritz dies from the Spellbinders June releases. Let’s go ahead and get into the details!

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

I began this project by die cutting the lemons from Beeswax cardstock, the flowers from Neenah 110lb and Blush cardstock and leaves from Peridot cardstock. I did some ink blending on this pieces using Carnation, Honey, Pearfection and Flannel inks.

Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers and set everything aside while I worked on the rest of the card. I die cut a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using the Nested Potage Labels & Tag and splattered that with gold ink. I also went ahead and die cut the Woven Lattice Texture from Neenah 110lb cardstock as well.

The postage layer was adhered to the card base and the lattice was glued into place. I began adhering the leaves and flowers in place first, along with the first lemon, and then adhered the last two lemons using foam strips. The sentiment was gold foiled onto black cardstock and adhered to the card using the same foam strips for a bit of added dimension.

That does it for this project! I appreciate you stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day! Stay awesome, friend!

Simon Says Stamp Relax Snake Plant

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Snake Plant Stencil and Die from Simon’s latest release, Moments In Time. Let’s jump right into it.

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

I began this project by gathering a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock, my inks and a Craft Tacky Mat. This stencil set has five stencils, so the inks that I used were Celery, Limelicious, Fairway, Pearfection and Emerald.

Once the ink blending was complete, I used the coordinating die to cut out the leaves. I also cut the leaves from Fern and black cardstock and adhered all of those together, offsetting them slightly. This was then adhered to a Forest panel that I had previously gold splattered.

The sentiment, which is included with the die set, was cut once from gold cardstock and once from black cardstock, while the shadow portion was cut twice from the same Forest cardstock. This was then glued directly atop the leaves to finish up.

That does it for this one! The snake plant always reminds me of my Mom, as she always had one on the front porch. I would love to have one, but the google machine says that they are toxic to cats, and I’m a cat person. Oh well. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Mini Slimline Daisies

Hey There, and welcome back to my blog. I’m so glad you stopped in to check out today’s project featuring the new Tattered Daisy and Thank you Text background stamp from Simon’s latest release, Moments In Time. Let’s get into 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 the daisy five times from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and cutting the stems from Fern cardstock. I then did some ink blending on the flowers using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Honey, Seafoam, Surf and Heather inks and then assembled the flowers. I was too lazy to go back and cut the centers from black cardstock, so I just used my Rainbow Splash Black ink pad to color those.

The background was created by stamping the Thank You Text onto a panel of Neenah and heat embossing it using Detail White Embossing Powder. I then used the same inks from the ink blending and smooshed them one at a time onto my glass mat with a spritz of water and did some smooshing onto the panel using a piece of left over plastic from packaging. Because I had white on white embossing, it was quite hard to tell which direction the text went until I added the ink, of course! I had originally wanted the rainbow to go from left to right, but that didn’t work out, so I sucked it up and just went with it, because again, I was lazy.

The sentiment, which is from the Thank You Basics set, was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set using the same white embossing powder as before. I trimmed that down and began assembling the card.

I decided on placement and glued the stems to the panel while the flowers were adhered using foam strips. I trimmed off the stems and adhered the sentiment with foam strips as well. This was then adhered to a black panel before being adhered to the card base, and some clear drops were added to finish this project up.

I don’t normally do mini slimline cards, but this design warranted a larger canvas to achieve the rainbow pattern. I hope you like it! It certainly was a fun project to work on! Don’t forget to check out the entire Moments In Time release, and have yourself a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Thank You Daisy Bundle

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! The latest Simon release, Moments in Time, is live and today’s project is featuring the new Tattered Daisy along with the Thank You Text background stamp. I kind of went crazy with this flower die cut, so you’ll be seeing it a bunch! Let’s go ahead and go through 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 die cutting the daisy five times from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some ink blending using Seafoam, Surf, Marine, Cadette, Heather and Field. I did also use the Rainbow Splash Black ink pad to color the centers of the flowers, because I was feeling a bit lazy and didn’t feel like going back to cut those from black cardstock. Just keeping it real for you .. I do get lazy from time to time. Once the ink blending was complete on all of the pieces, I assembled the flowers and set those aside while I worked on the other elements of the card.

I have a bunch of gold splattered panels sitting around from a class that I taught, so I went ahead and used one of those and stamped the Thank You Text onto that using Misty Coast ink. I chose this ink, because it’s a very light ink and does really well when you’re wanting a barely there type of image. While I was stamping, I went ahead and stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it out using the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for that stacked sentiment that I love.

For the assembly, I arranged and determined placement and then secured the stems in place using liquid glue, while the flowers and sentiment were added with foam strips. The panel was adhered to the card base and some clear drops were added to finish up.

That does it for this one, and I really like how it came out! I hope you do too! Don’t forget to check out the entire Moments in Time release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Pinkfresh Regal Florals

Hey There! So glad that you stopped by! For today’s project, I’m revisiting my desire for dark, dramatic Pinkfresh florals! I really like how this one turned out, so let’s go ahead and go through the details!

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

I began by die cutting the Fresh Florals from Purple Mist and Green Apple cardstock. I did some ink blending on the florals using Regal Kiss and some on the purple leaves using Soft Lilac. For the green leaves, I used C9 Avocado ink. I went back and cut a few centers from gold cardstock and went ahead and assembled the flowers using foam strips between the purple and green layers. I also glued the leaves together, offsetting those slightly.

The Leafy Lattice was gold foiled onto Plum cardstock and trimmed out using the coordinating die cut. The sentiment was gold foiled as well on the same plum cardstock and trimmed out three times for a stacked sentiment.

The background was created using the PFS Sparkling Diamonds plate, which I think was discontinued. That’s a shame, because I really do love this die cut. I adhered the lattice to the panel using liquid glue, and then began gluing the leaves in place. The sentiment was adhered using foam strips, and the flowers were the last thing to be adhered.

That does it for this project! While I do love the pastel vibe of Pinkfresh, I also love a dramatic Pinkfresh project as well! At this point, I’m challenging myself to create darker cards using their products. I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did! Thanks again for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Birthday Cosmos

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Cosmos, as well as the Journal Grid in a clean and simple design. These products are from the May releases, and you should definitely check them out! Let’s go right into the details!

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

I began this project by cutting the Cosmos from Neenah 110lb cardstock and the pieces from pink and yellow cardstocks. I did some light ink blending on the petals using Peony ink, drew some veins with a pink colored pencil and assembled the flower with liquid glue. I wanted this flower on a stem so I used the Layered Wildflowers set and cut that from Green Apple cardstock with some ink blending with Pearfection ink.

The Journal Grid BetterPress Plate was inked using Misty Coast ink, trimmed down and gold splattered for some additional interest. I chose the light grey ink because I wanted a subtle background for this card.

I gold foiled the You Are Everything Plate onto Neenah 110lb and trimmed it out with the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts because I love that stacked sentiment look. The background was adhered to the card base and the leaves and flower were glued in place while the sentiment were adhered using foam strips.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out all of the May releases over on the Spellbinders website! Thanks again for joining me, and have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Thinking of You Anemone

Hello Friends, and thanks for stopping by! The May Spellbinders releases are live, and I’m back today with a project featuring the Anemone, along with the Script Text BetterPress Plate and the Summer Solstice Garden Sentiments. Let’s go ahead and get into the details!

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

I began this project by die cutting the Anemone from Neenah 110lb cardstock, along with black and yellow for the pieces. I did some light ink blending on the petals using Peony ink. I knew that I was going to want some leaves, so I cut those using the Vivid Blooms set from Green Apple cardstock and did some ink blending on those with Pearfection ink.

I gold foiled the Script Text plate onto Neenah 110lb cardstock, and gold foiled the sentiment onto black cardstock. I trimmed out the sentiment with the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for a stacked sentiment. I trimmed the script background and gold splattered it before adhering it to a black panel.

The leaves were secured in place using liquid glue, while the flowers and the sentiment were adhered using foam strips. To finish up, everything was adhered to the card base, and I added some gold metallic pearls to one leaf.

That does it for this project! I hope you’ll take some time to check out all of the new May releases over on the Spellbinders website! There really is a lot of good stuff! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Floral Birthday Grid

Hello Friends, and welcome back! The May Spellbinders releases are live today, and I’m back with a project featuring the new Journal Grid along with the Anemone and Cosmos florals. Let’s run through the details for this one!

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

I began this project by die cutting the Anemone and Cosmos flowers from Neenah 110lb, pink, yellow and black cardstocks. I did some light ink blending on the flowers using Bubblegum ink. Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers using liquid glue and set those aside while I figured out the rest of the card.

I went ahead and gold foiled the Journal Grid onto a panel of Neenah 110lb and added some gold splatter for additional interest. While I was foiling, I gold foiled the Summer Solstice Garden Sentiments onto black cardstock and trimmed that out with the coordinating die, along with two additional cuts for a stacked look.

I adhered the grid to my card base using foam tape, and started playing around with placement. I decided that I need some other florals and leaves and cut those using Vivid Blooms and Sealed Wildflowers from pink, yellow and green cardstock. I did do some ink blending on one of the smaller flowers using Carnation ink and some Pearfection ink on the leaves.

I secured the leaves in place on the panel using liquid glue, followed by the smaller flowers and then the larger flowers. The sentiment was glued in place, and I added some Gold Metallic Pearls to finish up.

That does it for this project! Everyone knows that I love florals, so I really enjoyed this project! I think that I’m going to get a lot of use out of this Grid Journal Press Plate, as you can use it with inks and foils, which I love! Don’t forget to head over to the Spellbinders website to check out all of the new releases! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Happy Happy Friday! I recently got the Artful Palette set from @simonsaysstamp and had to get busy creating a few cards using various patterned papers from my hoarding stash! I can’t be the only one that hoards patterned papers, right?!? These cards were quite fun to make, and I’m considering making a few more! I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend! I have so many stamp sets that I haven’t used, and I’ve been trying to make my way through some of them! Today’s project is featuring one of those sets, it’s the Oh, Shiitake set from @simonsaysstamp. An oldie but goodie for sure! I love the addition of the stencil for this product suite, because sometimes I just don’t feel like coloring! Happy Monday, Friends!
