Simon Says Stamp Love Your Heart

Hello Friend, and thanks for joining me today for more goodness from the newest Simon Says Stamp release, To the Moon! Today’s project is featuring the brand new Polka Hearts Stencil set. Is that not the cutest name ever?! Anyhoo, let’s jump right in!

I used this stencil in an unconventional manner for this card, but I like thinking outside the box sometimes. I began by taping the stencil to a scrap of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock, and applying SSS Glitz Glitter Gel in Cherry through that. I set that aside to dry while I cleaned my supplies and worked on the rest of the card.

For the background, I used the SSS Magnetic Embossing Folder and did some light ink blending in the center using PinkFresh Studio Candy Apple ink. I trimmed the panel down because I always like to mount my panels against black cardstock for contrast.

I carefully fussy cut three of the glitter hearts and foam mounted them to the embossed panel and adhered a SSS Sentiment Strip across the center one using liquid glue.

The panel was then foam mounted to a black panel using foam tape before being adhered to the card base, which is also Neenah 110lb.

Super simple card, but I like the simplicity of it! And, I like using stencils in different ways! Stop by and check out the entire To the Moon release, and let me know what you think of it! Thanks for joining me and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Love You Leaf Bundle

Hello friends and welcome back! Thanks for stopping by! I’m loving the new Rainbows release from Simon Says Stamp! Today’s project is featuring the Leaf Bundle Embossing Folder. Embossing folders are such an under used product, in my opinion, so I’m glad to see so many companies releasing awesome folders lately. Let’s get into today’s project.

I began my project by cutting a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and placing it inside the folder to run through my die cutting machine. I then used PinkFresh Studio Mint and Ocean Breeze inks to do some ink blending over the embossed panel. I used a corner rounder on the panel for something a little different and to add interest.

I cut the SSS Love You shadow portion of the die three times from Neenah 110lb and cut the sentiment once from gold cardstock and adhered all of those together using Craft Tacky Glue. This was then glued directly atop the embossed panel. I wrapped some twine around the panel for added interest, and also attached a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology in the center of the “O.”

I adhered 3M Foam Tape on the back of the panel around the twine, and attached that to my card base, which is Neenah 110lb.

That finishes this project. I appreciate you stopping by today! How often do you use embossing folders? What are your favorite ones? I would love to know in the comments. Don’t forget to check out the entire Rainbows release for some awesome new products!

Alex Syberia Design Love You Daffodils

Hello there Crafty Friends! I hope you’re doing well, and I thank you for stopping by today! I’m featuring the new Alex Syberia Design Daffodils A2 Card Panel for this post. Alex has a new release, and you should definitely check out her Etsy shop for all the digi stamps and loads of inspirations!

To begin my project, I printed the Daffodils on a sheet of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and began coloring the image using Copic Markers Y06, Y08, Y11, Y13, Y15, YR27, YG13, YG17, YG91, E71 and B0000. I continued to add shading and more details, such as the leaf veining using my PrismaColor pencils.

I didn’t want to lose too much of the image, so I trimmed my panel down to 3.75″ x 5.75″ and mounted it onto a panel of black cardstock that’s just slightly larger using 3M Foam Tape. I die cut the Lawn Fawn I Love You Border sentiment once from gold cardstock and twice from the same black cardstock and adhered those together using Craft Tacky Glue. This sentiment actually says I Love You, but I trimmed it down, because I only wanted the love you portion.

I die cut the Altenew Hanging Garden die twice from gold cardstock and prepared my card base by splattering it with Royal Talens Amsterdam Oxide Black Acrylic Ink. I love this ink because it’s such a perfect consistency for splatter! I positioned my panel over the card base to determine the placement of the gold leaves, and adhered those using glue. I then glued my panel atop the leaves to finish up my card.

This was a super fun card panel to color! Don’t forget to stop by Alex’s Etsy shop to check out all of the new images!

Stay awesome friends!

Simon Says Stamp Mini Slimline Patterns

All the Feels Release

Hello and welcome back! Today I’m featuring a super fun product from the new Simon Says Stamp All the Feels release, Mini Slimline Patterns 1. This is a set of three stencils that consists of circles, stars and stripes, perfect for all of those cute mini slimline cards!

Let’s get into today’s project! To begin, I cut three panels that were the same size as the stencils from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock, and taped those to the stencils using masking tape. Since I created three cards, I’ll go through each one separately.

For the circle stencil, I ink blended PinkFresh Studio Sparkling Rose, Sunshine and Ocean Breeze. I then went over the ink with Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel – Iridescent, and set that aside to dry while I worked on my sentiment. I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Love You once from gold cardstock and three times from Neenah 110lb cardstock and adhered those together using Craft Tacky Glue. I also die cut the Simon Says Stamp Outline Clustered Leaves once from Neenah 110lb. Once my panel was dry, I glued the leaves down only using the center stem. I then glued my sentiment atop that, along with some PinkFresh Studio Crystals Mix. I adhered my panel to another panel of Concord and 9th Sprout cardstock using 3M Foam Tape. That was then adhered to my card base which happens to be Neenah Classic Crest 110lb.

For the star stencil, I ink blended PinkFresh Studio Mint, Ocean Breeze and Soft Lilac. And again, I went over that with the Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel – Iridescent. I used the Simon Says Stamp Friends die for my sentiment and cut that three times from Neenah 110lb. I adhered those together using Craft Tacky Glue and snipped the “S” off of Friends. I used the new Mini Starts Party die to cut stars from white and glitter cardstock. I used the same inks to do a little ink blending on the white stars. I glued my friend sentiment directly to my card panel and attached the “shine brightly,” which is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Sentiment Label Stickers, using 3M Foam Tape, along with the stars. I mounted my panel to another panel of Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass cardstock using foam tape, and that was then adhered to my card base finishing up this project.

Now for the striped stencil .. I ink blended Distress Oxide Chipped Sapphire, Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar and went over that with the same glitter gel. I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Just Because sentiment three times from Neenah 110lb and adhered those together using Craft Tacky Glue. I also used the Simon Says Stamp Cosmo Flower Frame for this one and trimmed the flower out of the frame.

I adhered my sentiment directly to my card panel, and adhered the flower using foam tape. I once again adhered this panel to another panel of Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass cardstock before adhering that to my card base. I ended up using PinkFresh Studio Jewels Mix for my necessary bling!

There’s three projects using the three stencils from the new Mini Slimline Patterns 1! These were super fun to make because I always forget about busting out my gels and pastes! Don’t forget to check out the new release, All the Feels! So much stuff to inspire you!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and stay awesome my friend!

Love You Chunky Hearts

Hello crafty friends! How are your Valentine’s Day cards coming along? I have a few that I would like to send out, and really need to get myself in gear!

For today’s post, I’m using the Simon Says Stamp Chunky Hearts Panel die.

To begin my project, I spent some time die cutting the panel fifteen times from fifteen different colors of cardstock. These cardstocks included some from my stash, as well as some from Concord and 9th and The Stamp Market.

For my card panel, I die cut the Chunky Hearts die from Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock, and also used the Postal Frames die set from The Greetery. I then ink blended my card panel using Distress Oxide Spun Sugar. After that, I adhered my card panel to the base using foam tape for dimension.

I added a small piece of foam tape on the back of each colored heart and inlaid them into my card panel. I die cut the Love You shadow sentiment three times from white cardstock and the Love You sentiment once from gold cardstock and adhered all of those together and glued it to my card panel.

That’s it for today’s card. I hope you enjoyed this project and that it inspires you to get busy on your Valentine’s Day cards!
