Let Your Dreams Blossom

Hello Crafters and welcome back! There’s a super fun Instagram hop going on featuring some of the new products from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Just a Note. Be sure to head over there to check it out and comment along the way for your chance to win a $25 gift card from Simon. Who doesn’t love gift cards, right?! My project for today is featuring the new Plant Sentiments stamp set, so let’s run through the details, shall we?

To begin this card, I stamped some florals from the SSS Best Friend Ever set onto some Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaMark Ink. I then heat set that using Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder. Once those were stamped, I used the coordinating die to trim them out and added color using Copic Markers R30, RV00, RV91, YG05, YG13, and YG63.

I used the Let Your Dream Blossom sentiment from the SSS Plant Sentiments set and stamped that on black cardstock using VersaMark Ink, and embossed that using the same gold embossing powder. Once that was done, I did end up fussy cutting the sentiment out. I used the SSS Detail Petal Plate to cut the background and did some very light ink blending on the corners using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Celery.

I played around with the placement and decided that I needed some leaves, which happens quite a bit for me! I used the SSS Windswept Leaves and cut a couple of those. To assemble the card, I adhered the leaves using liquid glue and adhered the florals using foam tape for added dimension. For portions that I cut off, I added some of those around the edges as well.

The sentiment was also adhered using foam tape before adhering the entire panel to a black panel. I like using black panels for the contrast that it provides. Everything was adhered to the card base, and I added some clear drops for a little added bling.

That finishes up this project. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires some of your creativity! Don’t forget to head over to Instagram to hop along leaving comments for your chance to win a gift card.

Melon Birthday Bouquet

Hello Friends and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project. Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Just a Note, is live and I’m featuring a card using the new Summer Bouquet Stencil. So, let’s run through the deets, shall we?

To begin, I taped the stencil to a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and added ink using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Melon, Sherbet, Celery and Limelicious. I concentrated color towards the centers of the flowers and at the base of the leaves. I rotated the stencil around to fill the panel before trimming it down using the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles.

I chose the SSS Happy Birthday Brush Script for my sentiment, and die cut that once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and adhered all of those together using liquid glue. The sentiment was then adhered towards the bottom of the panel.

Before assembling the card, I splattered my card base using some gold acrylic ink. Once that was dry, I adhered the panel using foam tape for a little added dimension. To finish up, I added some PFS Gold Pearls for that much needed bling.

That does it for this one. I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out the entire Just a Note release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day and stay awesome friend!

Full Bloom Sunrise Stem

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for stopping by. Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Just a Note, is live, and I’m back today with a card featuring the new Plant Sentiments stamp set. Since I gravitate towards flowers, I was super happy to receive a sentiment set that would coordinate. So, let’s run through the details for this one.

I began this card by die cutting three of the SSS Sunrise Stem flowers from Neenah 110lb cardstock. To add color to the flowers, I did some ink blending using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Celery, Limelicious, Lemonade, Sunbeam and Lilac.

Once the flowers had some color, I cut a background using the SSS Stitched Whirl Background and set that aside while I worked on the sentiment. I selected a sentiment from the SSS Plant Sentiments set, and stamped that onto some black cardstock using VersaMark Ink. I then heat set it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder and hand trimmed it out.

I assembled the flowers using liquid glue and then arranged them atop the background and adhered those to the panel. I then figured out the placement for the sentiment and adhered that using foam tape for a little added dimension. The panel was then adhered to a black panel for contrast before being adhered to the card base. I also added a few clear drops for added interest.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space. Be sure to check out the entire Just a Note release over on Simon’s website, because there’s lots of fun things to look at and be inspired by. Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to stay awesome!
