Tag: SSS Out of This World

Sending My Love Icon

Hello and welcome back! So glad that you could stop by today to check out another card featuring the new SSS Happy Icons stamp set, which is from their latest release, Out of This World. Let’s run through the details, shall we?

To begin, I stamped one of the stamps from the SSS Happy Icons stamp set onto a scrap of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I repeated that process for a second time to get a smoother finish on the embossing. Once done, I used scissors to trim the image down to actual size.

I pulled out the SSS Friendship Text Background stamp and stamped that onto a panel using PFS Misty Coast ink and trimmed it down using the SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frames. I foiled this sentiment from Spellbinders Yana’s Sentiments using silver foil onto black cardstock and trimmed it out using the included coordinating die. I cut it an additional two times and glued all of those together for added dimension.

Before assembling the card, I splattered the card base using acrylic ink. The text background was adhered and the Happy Icon was adhered atop that using foam tape, and the sentiment was glued in place.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out the entire Out of This World release! Thanks again for stopping by and as always, stay awesome!

Slimline Rainbow Sunflowers

Hello Fellow Crafters, and thanks for swinging by! I hope you’re doing well and having a wonderful day! Today I’m participating in a super fun Instagram Hop to celebrate Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Out of This World, so be sure to head over there to check it out! Leave comments along the hop for your chance to win a $25 gift card to Simon Says Stamp! Who doesn’t love gift cards?!? Today’s project is once again featuring the new Bountiful Sunflower Blossom. I really have had loads of fun playing with this die! So let’s go through the deets for this one!

I had the idea of lining up sunflowers on a card, and in my brain, the sunflowers were smaller and I could get more on a card front, but that’s the problem with ideas. Sometimes they don’t work out as we had anticipated. But nonetheless, I like how this card turned out. To begin, I cut the SSS Bountiful Sunflower Blossom six times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I had to cut it six times, because I used two rows of petals instead of just the one that it cuts.

I had to do the ink blending on each piece separately so as to get each petal covered, so I lined up the pieces for the flower up and proceeded to ink blend those. The colors that I used were the SSS Pawsitively Saturated inks in Bubblegum, Lemonade, Seafoam and Lilac. This seems to be my go-to set for rainbow ink blending. Once the flowers were done, I adhered the pieces together using liquid glue.

For the background of the card, I used the SSS Slimline Marquee die to trim a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and splattered it using acrylic ink. I set that aside to dry and worked on the sentiment. I die cut the hello sentiment, from SSS Handlettered Greetings, once from SSS Holographic Cardstock and once from black cardstock, and adhered those together off center just the slightest.

To assemble the card, I layered the splattered panel onto a black panel for contrast and glued the two side sunflowers directly to the panel, while adhering the center flower with some foam tape. I then glued the sentiment to the center of the middle flower, leaving the ends of the sentiment free floating, if you will. I added some clear drops before adhering everything to the card base.

That does it for this one! I never make slimline cards, but I end up liking them when I do! Anyhoo, I hope you like it too, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space. Don’t forget to check out the entire Out of This World release, and let me know your favorites. Also, don’t forget to head over to Instagram to join in the hop!

So Appreciate You

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for stopping by! Today’s project is featuring the new Pawsitively Saturated Ink Cubes in Yellow Sunsets, from Simon Says Stamps’s latest release, Out of This World. Have you checked it out yet? What are your favorites? I would love to know what they are. Let’s run through the details for today’s project!

I began with a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and swiped the SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink Cubes, from the Yellow Sunsets, across the panel. The colors that I used were Lemonade, Sunbeam, Citrine, Melon and Cantaloupe. Once that was done, I used the SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frames to trim it down. I used a larger frame to trim a panel of black cardstock as well.

The black and yellow was really speaking to me, so I used the SSS Etched Crocus Stems and cut some of those from black cardstock. I used a white gel pen to add some detail to the flowers before adhering them to the yellow panel with liquid glue. I used a sentiment from the SSS Reverse Gratitude Sentiment Strips and used foam tape to adhere that.

The yellow panel was then adhered to the black panel before being adhered to the card base. To finish up, I added some clear drops for a little bit of added interest.

Super simple project today, but simple cards are sometimes all that you need, or all that you feel like making for that day. Not every card has to be an elaborate undertaking to create. I hope you enjoyed this project, and I hope it inspires you to get creative in your space! Don’t forget to check out the entire Out of This World release, and don’t forget to stay awesome! Have yourself a wonderful day!

Simple Sunflower Blossom

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back to my blog! I’m so glad that you stopped by! I’m back today with a card featuring the brand new Bountiful Sunflower Blossom, from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release Out of This World. I can’t even express how much I love this die! Flowers and sentiment dies are my jam, so I was thrilled to receive this sunflower die! Let’s run through the details for this project, shall we?

I had a lot of ideas going on when making this card, and it originally was going a different direction when I decided that I liked the white on white texture of this one. I began by cutting the SSS Bountiful Sunflower Blossom five times from Neenah 110lb cardstock and assembling those together using liquid glue.

I played around with the placement of the flowers on the card front, trying to cover as much surface area as possible. Once trimmed, I filled in with the remaining pieces and petals. I decided that a white on white theme was quite calming, so I opted for a more suitable sentiment.

The SSS Prayers die seemed a suitable fit for this card. I tried a white sentiment, but ultimately decided on using Polished Gold cardstock. I cut the shadow portion of the die three times and the sentiment portion once and adhered all of those together before gluing to the card.

To finish up, I added some clear drops for a little added interest. That finishes up this card. Super simple, but I like the way it turned out. Simple isn’t usually my go-to, and I struggle with this design process, so I hope you enjoyed it! Don’t forget to check out the entire Out of This World release, and let me know your favorites! Thanks again for stopping by, have yourself a wonderful day, and stay awesome friend!

Strawberry Fields

Hello Friends and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a card featuring the new Strawberry Fields Embossing Folder from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Out of This World. I had a fun time working on this one, although it took me the better part of a day. That’s just me though, it takes me forever to color anything! Anyhoo, let’s roll through the details of this one.

I began by trimming a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and misting it with a bit of water before running it through the die cutter. Once the image was embossed, I sat down and got to coloring! The Copic Markers used were R27, R35, R37, R39, RV14, B0000, Y18, N1, C2, BG96, YG99, G21, G24, G85 and G94. If you don’t have a Copic Hex Chart, I highly recommend it. It’s super nice to be able to glance at the chart and know which colors will work nicely together.

Once all of the coloring was complete, I used a Copic Multiliner 0.03 to add some detail for the strawberry seeds. I then trimmed the panel down just a smidge and adhered it to a black panel for a little bit of contrast.

For the sentiment, I opted to use the SSS Thanks die. I cut the shadow three times and the sentiment once from Polished Gold cardstock and adhered all of those together using liquid glue. That was then placed in the center of the panel.

I adhered everything to the card base and added a few clear drops to complete this project.

That does it for this one. Don’t forget to check out the entire Out of This World release and let me know your favorites! Thanks again for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Beautiful Icon

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back to my blog! I’m so glad that you stopped by to check out today’s card featuring the new Happy Icons stamp set from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Out of This World. So, let’s get right to it, and talk about the deets!

To begin, I selected one of the stamps from the SSS Happy Icons stamp set and stamped it on a scrap of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink. Once I got a good impression, I heat set it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I repeated that process a second time for a smoother finish on the embossing.

Once the embossing was done, I used some scissors to trim the image down to its actual size. I then used the SSS Pride Flags to cut strips of rainbow cardstock. Those were then adhered to a scrap of cardstock and trimmed down as well.

I used the SSS Beautiful die and cut that three times from black cardstock and glued all of those together. I stamped the “you are,” which is from the SSS Tiny Words stamp set, on black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat embossed it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder.

Before assembling the card, I splattered the card base using black acrylic ink. The flag was glued to the card base, while the icon and sub-sentiment were adhered using foam tape for added dimension. The beautiful sentiment was glued atop the card to finish it up.

That’s all for this one! It’s not too elaborate, but I like the way it turned out! I hope you like it too, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space. Don’t forget to check out the entire Out of This World release, and let me know your favorites! I’m nosey. I like knowing things! Thanks again for stopping by! Have a wonderful day and stay awesome!

Sending Love Sunflower

Hello and welcome back friends! I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with goodies from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Out of This World. For today’s card, I’m featuring the new Bountiful Sunflower Blossom. Let’s go through the deets, shall we?

To begin, I cut the SSS Bountiful Sunflower Blossom twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some ink blending using the new Pawsitively Saturated Ink Cubes in Yellow Sunsets. Once all of the color was added, I adhered the layers together using liquid glue. I also added a little bit more detail using Copic Markers E18, E31, E35 and E55.

I used the SSS Kaleidoscope Embossing Folder to emboss a black panel, and I used the SSS Privet Branch to cut leaves from Polished Gold cardstock. I played around with the placement of the leaves before gluing those in place, and then glued the sunflower atop the leaves.

A foiled sentiment seemed to be the perfect fit for this card, so I used a sentiment from the SSS Everyday Acetate Sentiment Strips set and hot foiled that using gold foil. I adhered the sentiment over the sunflower using foam tape for some added dimension.

The finished panel was then adhered to a yellow panel for some contrast before being adhered to the card base.

That finishes up this project. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty! Stop by and check out the entire Out of This World release and let me know your favorites. Have a wonderful day and stay awesome!

Pastel Birthday Wishes

Hello Crafty Friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! I’m back with a card featuring a new product from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Out of This World. This release has a lot of fun things, including a few new embossing folders, and some gorgeous flowers, just to name a few! Today’s card is featuring the new A2 Scalloped Rectangle Stencils. Let’s go through all of the deets for this one, shall we?

To begin, I used the SSS A2 Scalloped Rectangle Dies to cut a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock. Then, I taped the SSS A2 Scalloped Rectangles Stencil to the panel and did some ink blending. The colors that I used were Bubblegum, Lemonade, Seafoam and Lilac.

Once the ink blending for that stencil was done, I taped a Tim Holtz stencil over the scalloped stencil and ink blended the same colors to get the dot detail in the background. Double-stenciling, if you will. I removed both stencils, cleaned them and set them aside.

I chose the focal points for the card and die cut the SSS Cosmos Stem from Neenah 110lb and adhered those to the panel using liquid glue. I opted to use the birthday sentiment from SSS Elegantly Modern Greetings stamp set and stamped that using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I repeated that process for a second time to achieve a smoother finish on the embossing. I then used the coordinating die to trim that out, along with two additional die cuts for added dimension.

The sentiment was adhered together and placed over the cosmos stems using foam tape. The sub-sentiment was glued directly to the panel. I added some iridescent drops for added bling, before adhering the panel to the card base.

That does it for this one! Have you tried double stenciling before? I really like the look that it gives. I hope you enjoyed this project, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty! Thanks so much for stopping by and don’t forget to check out the entire Out of This World release. Stay awesome friend!
