Simon Says Stamp You Did It Alcohol Ink

Hello! Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’re having a wonderful day so far! I’m back with another card featuring goodies from the latest Simon release, Yay You! If you know me, you know that I love stand-alone die cut sentiments, and today’s card is featuring just that! The new You Did It die cut! So, let’s go through the deets for this one!

I wanted a super simple card so that the sentiment would stand out and be the focal point, so I rummaged through my background box and found an alcohol ink background that I thought would be perfect. This particular background is using glossy cardstock along with Ranger Deception Alcohol Pearl Ink.

Once I decided on a background, I used the PinkFresh Studio Diagonal Stitched Rectangles to trim it down and give it a little interest along the edges. I also splattered the panel with Liquitex Iridescent Bright Silver Acrylic Ink.

I die cut the SSS You Did It once from SSS Matte Silver cardstock and twice from black cardstock and adhered those together using liquid glue, but offsetting them just slightly to create a shadow effect. As I always say, every card seems to need leaves and this one was no exception. I used the SSS Etched Meadow Flower and Leaves to cut a few leaves from black cardstock, as well as Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock.

I trimmed the leaves down and adhered them underneath the sentiment using liquid glue, and adhered the sentiment with glue as well. I also had to add some PinkFresh Studio Silver Metallic Pearls for some added bling and interest. The alcohol panel was adhered to a black panel using foam tape and then to the card base using SSS Dot Tape Runner.

That does it for this one! Alcohol ink backgrounds are great, because I feel like you really only need a good sentiment and some small design elements to make a gorgeous card. Thanks again for stopping by! Have a great one and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Totally Amazing

Hello Friends! I hope you are doing well! I appreciate you stopping by today to check out my card featuring the new Arches Stencil from Simon’s latest release, Yay You. I’ve had so much fun playing with goodies from this release! Let’s get into the details for this one!

I began by trimming a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock to a mini slimline size and adhering the stencil to it using masking tape. I used Turquoise Sea Glitz Glitter Gel from Gina K on this one. Once I got a good layer, I set that aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped the You are Totally Amazing, which is from SSS Clean Line Stacks set, on black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. I also used the coordinating die to trim it out, along with two more and adhered all of those together using liquid glue.

While I was die cutting, I die cut the SSS Delicate Leafy Branch a couple of times from black cardstock as well. I love the contrast that black elements provide on a card.

Now that the stenciled panel was dry, I decided the placement of the design elements and glued the black leaves underneath the sentiment and adhered the sentiment using glue as well. That panel was then adhered to a black panel using foam tape before being adhered to the card base using SSS Dot Tape Runner.

That finishes up this card! It’s always fun to use gels and pastes on cards, but I need to be better about sealing mine up, because they are becoming dried out. I hope you have a wonderful day and don’t forget to stay awesome!
