Simon Says Stamp Clean and Simple Wildflower

Welcome back, Friends! Today’s post is a clean and simple design, which is hard for me sometimes. It’s once again featuring the Delicate Wildflowers from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. Let’s go into the details.

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

I began by die cutting the wildflowers from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some light ink blending using Honey, Pearfection and Gravel inks. Once done with that, I assembled the pieces of the flower.

My background was created using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and gold splattered before gluing the stem in place. The flower and sentiment, which is from the Reverse I See You EZ Strips, were adhered with foam strips. The panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape to finish up.

Like I said, a super simple card for today. Thanks again for stopping by, and don’t forget to check out the entire Friend Like You release. Have yourself a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Splash

Hello Crafty Friends! Thanks for stopping by to check out today’s post featuring the new Undersea Friends set from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. This was an easy one, so let’s get into it.

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

I began this project by stamping one of the Undersea Friends onto some Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using clear embossing powder. I then colored the image with Copic Markers C00, C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5.

There is a die set that does with these stamps, but I did not have that, so I fussy cut my image. I then pulled some blue cardstock from my stash and cut those to fit my card base and tore the top edges to resemble waves. I stamped the sentiment and the bubbles directly onto the card and glued my blue layers in place, while the fish was adhered using foam strips.

That does it for this one. A pretty simple, yet cute card. I don’t normally prefer cutesy sets, but I think this card came out good. I hope you like it as well. Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day! Stay awesome, friend!

Simon Says Stamp Hummingbird Hugs

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Brilliant Hummingbird from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. Let’s run through the details!

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

I began this project by die cutting the Brilliant Hummingbird, the Delicate Wildflowers and the Dainty Floral Vine all from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I went ahead and pulled Heather, Honey, Pearfection, Seafoam and Gravel inks to do all of the ink blending on these elements. Once I was done, I assembled the hummingbird and flowers and set those aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

I used the new A7 Rectangles and cut a panel of Neenah that got gold splattered. I also used two of the rectangles to cut a gold frame that would go around the outside of splattered panel that I just cut. I glued the gold frame in place and then began gluing the leaves in place.

The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed that out three times for a stacked sentiment. The sentiment, flowers and hummingbird were adhered using foam strips for some added dimension and some gold pearls were added for some shine to finish up.

That does it for this project! I don’t often enjoy making A7 cards, but sometimes the extra space is nice. I hope you have an awesome day, and don’t forget to check out the entire Friend Like You release.

Simon Says Stamp Here For You

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Contemporary Lighthouse Embossing Folder from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. Let’s go ahead and run through the details for this one.

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

I began by embossing the folder onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock. I then began coloring the image using Copic Markers C1, C3, C4, C6, C7, E23 and Y17. When I was satisfied with the coloring, I did some ink blending using Sunbeam, Sky and Night inks, being very careful not to mix the yellow and blue because I didn’t want to end up with green.

Before working on the sentiment, I splattered the panel with some white acrylic ink to mimic stars. The sentiment was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set using Detail White Embossing Powder. That was trimmed out three times for a stacked sentiment.

I adhered the panel to the card base using foam tape and glued the sentiment in place to finish up.

That does it for this one. I’m not very good at coloring embossing folders, but I gave it a try anyway. Is it perfect? No. But, I’m happy with the outcome. Thanks again for stopping by. I do truly appreciate it, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Blog Hop Day 2

Also, don’t forget to check out Day 1 for more chances to win! My post for today is featuring the new Brilliant Hummingbird, and of course I had to pair it with some florals, so let’s go ahead and go through the details!

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

I began by die cutting the hummingbird pieces from Neenah 110lb cardstock and ink blending those using Sweets, Sprout, Fairway, Surf and a tiny bit of Flannel. I went ahead and assembled the hummingbird and decided that I wanted the beak dark, so I cut that from some Forest cardstock, and added a tiny black gem for the eye.

The flowers and stems were die cut from Cotton Candy, Green Apple and black cardstock. I used the same inks for the ink blending on these pieces as well. I assembled the flowers and placed foam strips on those before stamping the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat setting that using Detail White Embossing Powder.

The background panel was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and gold splattered before adhering the stems with liquid glue and adding the flowers. The hummingbird was added with foam strips as was the sentiment. The panel was then adhered to the card base with foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you like it! Thanks again for joining me and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Color Block Mosaic

Welcome back, Friends! I’m back today’ with a project featuring the new A7 Rectangles from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. This is a very large die set, however I only used one of the dies to create this panel. Small die cuts need some love too! I recently created a grid front card using the Delicate Wildflowers, and I pretty much used those same colors for this card. Let’s go ahead and run through the details!

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

I began this project by pulling out a bunch of colored scraps and die cutting the smallest rectangle from the A7 Rectangles set. I knew that I wanted to create a large panel, so it was quite a bit of die cutting! Once all of the cutting was complete, I placed foam strips on the back of all of the pieces.

I cut a panel and gold splattered it for a bit of added interest and then began adhering the strips in the pattern that you see. I was able to trim off the excess and use the pieces in other areas. The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and once from Neenah 110lb cardstock and adhered together. That was then glued to one of the rectangles and the panel was secured to the card base to finish up.

A super simple card for today, although time consuming. Sometimes I like the process of assembling something like this. This is just an idea to give your die sets another look at a different way tot use them. Thanks again for stopping by, and don’t forget to check out the entire Friend Like You release over on Simon’s website. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Hey Friend

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I’m so glad that you stopped by to check out today’s project featuring the new Delicate Wildflowers from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. This project also features the new EZ Strips Everyday stamp, so let’s go ahead and go through the details!

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

I began this project by pulling out a bunch of colored scraps and die cutting the wildflowers from those, while cutting the centers from black cardstock. Once all of the cutting was complete, I did some ink blending on the flower pieces using Sweets, Cantaloupe, Honey, Spring, Marine, Surf and Lilac. The flowers were then assembled using liquid glue.

My background was created using two of the Pinkfresh Double Stitched Rectangles, and I splattered that for some added interest. I arranged the flowers in rainbow order and adhered them using foam tape, leaving space in the middle for the sentiment.

The sentiment uses the new EZ Strips Everyday, and was stamped onto black cardstock and heat set using Detail White Embossing Powder. That was trimmed down and adhered to the panel using foam strips as well, to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! I like giving small die cuts a little love now and again too. You’ll see later on another project that uses a small die cut to create a full panel. Thanks again for joining me, and don’t forget to check out the entire Friend Like You release. Have an awesome day, friend!
