Simon Says Stamp Masculine Outline Hearts

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! Today’s project is featuring the Outline Hearts Stencil from one of Simon’s latest releases, To Love. This is a super simple project, so let’s get right to it!

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

I began this project by deciding on a color scheme using a card from The Color Cubes. Once that was decided, I pulled some inks that best matched and those ended up being Dew, Mist, Cabbage and Sage. I used a Copic Multiliner to add heart doodles before trimming it down using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames.

The Love Ya sentiment was cut once from Black Glossy cardstock and twice from black cardstock, while the shadow was cut twice from Neenah 110. All of those pieces were adhered together before adding them to the heart panel using foam strips. This was then added to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! It was a quick and easy one, but I absolutely love this color scheme! Don’t forget to check out the To Love and To Be Loved release over on simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Harlequin Heart

Hello Friends and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Harlequin Heart stamp from one of Simonn’s latest releases, To Love. Let’s go ahead and get right into it!

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

I began this project by stamping the Harlequin Heart onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. Next, I did some ink blending on the panel using Lilac, Orchid and Amethyst inks.

The panel was trimmed down and adhered to a black panel for contrast, before being adhered to the card base. I die cut the You sentiment once from silver cardstock and three times from black and adhered all of those together for a stacked sentiment. I stamped the sub-sentiment, which is from the You stamp set, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder.

I adhered the sub-sentiment using foam strips and added some silver metallic pearls to pull it all together and add some bling.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Don’t forget to check out the entire release, as there are lots of good things for those Valentine cards. Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp To Love And To Be Loved Release Blog Hop – Day 1

Hello Crafty Friends and thanks for joining me! Welcome to Day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop featuring the To Love and To Be Loved releases! Be sure to comment along the hop for your chance to win a $25 coupon from Simon! There’s also a free gift with purchase when you spend $50 or more on new release products! A chance to win a coupon, a free gift with purchase AND tons of inspiration .. YES PLEASE! My project for today is featuring the new I’m Sorry die cut in my usual floral fashion! 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 cutting a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock down to the same size as the gold thin frame and splattering it with gold acrylic paint. I set that aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.

The I’m Sorry sentiment was cut once, and I die cut a few white flowers using the Cosmos Duo set, and cut the centers of the flowers from yellow cardstock. The flowers needed a little bit of shading so I added that with some Gravel ink. The centers also got some shading using Sunbeam ink. The flowers are two layers because I wanted more fullness, so I went ahead and assembled all of the pieces using liquid glue.

Now here is where things get a little wonky! I needed a longer stem for the flowers so I die cut the stem from the Divine Peony set, and I die cut a few leaves from the Winsome Branches set to go along with the stem from the Cosmos set. Light ink blending using Cabbage ink was applied to the stems and leaves.

To assemble the card, I glued the gold frame to the splattered panel, added the I’m Sorry and then added the one long stem. The first two flowers were then adhered using foam strips, I added the second stem, along with the third flower and then added the leaves atop the stems. The panel was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Be sure to comment along the Hop for your chance to win!

Simon Says Stamp Falling in Love

Hey There Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Falling in Love stencil from Simon’s latest release, To Love. I love good rainbow cards, so let’s go through the deets!

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

I began this project by ink blending over the stencil using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Celery and Surf inks. I went and washed the stencil and put it back over the panel and applied Snow Angel Paste over that.

While that was drying, I die cut the Hugs & Kisses sentiment once from gold cardstock, twice from Neenah 110lb and cut the shadow twice as well. Those were all adhered together for that stacked sentiment that I love so very much!

Once my panel was completely dry, I adhered it to the card base using foam tape and glued the sentiment directly atop that. A few gold embellishments were added to finish up.

Super simple project for today! Head on over to Simon’s website to catch the full To Love release! Thanks again for joining me, and don’t forget to stay awesome, friend!

Simon Says Stamp Thanks Exotic Blooms

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Simon has a new To Love release, and I’m back today with a project featuring the Exotic Blooms. We all know that I love the florals, so let’s go ahead and get into the details for this one!

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

I began this project by die cutting the Exotic Blooms several times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also cut a few flowers from the Hanging Leaf Ring set as well, and did some light ink blending on all of those flowers using Melon, Cantaloupe, Sherbet and Honey. The leaf portions were ink blended using Sage and Pine. Once I was set on all of the ink blending, I assembled the flowers, and added Opal Dazzling Gems to some of the flowers.

My background was created using the Double Plaid Cover and the Stitched Squares. The cover die was glued to the card base, while the gold square was adhered using foam tape. I began arranging my flowers and leaves and gluing those down as I went. I decided that some gold leaves would be nice to pull the floral arrangement together with the gold square.

The sentiment, which is from the Friendship Leafy Cluster set, was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using Detail White Embossing Powder. The coordinating die was used to trim that out along with two additional cuts for a stacked look. The sentiment was glued directly to the panel to finish up.

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did! As I said earlier, I love florals so this was a fun one for me! Thanks again for joining me and don’t forget to head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire To Love release! Have a wonderful day!
