Simon Says Stamp Leafy Thank You

Hello Friends, and thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project, which features one of my favorite older products. I love florals and leaves, and I regularly go to the Privet Branch, and I just love this color combo as well. Let’s run through the deets super quick!

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

I cut my background panel using the A2 Postage Rectangles and gold splattered that for added interest. The color combo used here is from the Color Cubes, and I just think they go together so well. If I’m being honest, I don’t know what two of these colors are, because they were already cut and stashed in the envelope with the die cut. I’ll link to the ones that I do know though.

The background was adhered to the card base using foam tape, and I arranged the leaves and secured those in place with liquid glue. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink, heat embossed using white embossing powder and stacked for more dimension. I added a few gold embellishments to finish up.

If I have extra die cuts, I usually keep them with the die itself and that way, I can pull a card together pretty quickly sometimes. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a great day!

Crafty time this week! It’s Friday, we made it, and I’m back with a super duper, simple card using an alcohol panel and a cover die cut that were just hanging out in my stash! We all know that I love a good floral or leafy card, and today’s project goes down the leafy path using the @simonsaysstamp Privet Branch. And who doesn’t love a good color combo as well?!? You can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! Happy Monday, Friends! I was asked recently to create some sympathy cards, and I always find these cards difficult to make, but I kept it toned down and simple. I feel like white on white or white with grey is peaceful ad soothing, especially during a difficult time. Happy Friday, and happy early Valentine’s to you! The other day I created a large watercolor panel with some stamping and splatter to cut all kinds of @simonsaysstamp hearts from to create four different projects. I love how each project turned out, and I’m itching to create another panel with some different die cuts. There’s a blog post if you’d like more details over at redsas.co. I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend! Happiest Wednesday, Friends! I’m back with another simple card design using an embossing folder and white ink along with a brayer. I love the hint of white on the edges of the flowers paired with a coordinating sentiment and gems for a little pop of color. Hope you all have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Love You Watercolor Hearts

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Happy Valentine’s Day to you as well! I made several cards for today’s post using some watercolor hearts that I made using various Simon products. 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 taping down a large panel of watercolor paper, adding different shades of reds, pinks and an aqua color, which ended up making the purple color. I let the panel dry and used a stencil with various circles to add some white ink. Once those were dry, I outlined them with a Copic Multiliner and did some stamping using a couple of background stamps and VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I was unable to locate one of the stamps that I used, but any text stamp would work just fine. Once I was satisfied with the stamping, I did some gold splatter for added interest.

I pulled several heart die cuts, along with several other design die cuts and cut those. I was unable to find some of the die cuts that I used as well, and I apologize for that, but just use what’s already in your stash. I did edge some of the hearts with a gold leaf pen for some added interest and splattered my card bases and panel with black and gold acrylic inks. Some of the hearts were adhered using foam strips, while some were just glued directly to the panel or card base. The sentiments were cut from several different strip sets and adhered with glue or foam tape.

That does it for this post! I hope you like all of the cards as much as I do. I really had a lot of fun creating all of these projects, and am itching to create another watercolor panel to play with. I’ll list all of the products that I used below, just in case you’re interested. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Just Because Daisies

Hello Friends, and thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring a couple of products from Simon, including the Tilted Daises. This was a quick one, so let’s zoom 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 daisy pieces from white, yellow and green apple cardstock. I did some light ink blending on the flower portions using Honey and Shark inks before assembling them with liquid glue.

The background was stamped onto a panel using Misty Coast ink and trimmed down using the A2 Postage Rectangles. The stems were glued in place atop the panel, while the flowers were adhered using foam strips. The panel was adhered to the card base, and clear drops were added to finish up.

That does it for this one! Thanks again for joining me, and have a super awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Love You Jumbled Hearts

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for stopping by! Today’s project is featuring the Jumbled Hearts Background Stamp and the Love You sentiment die cut. Both are oldies, but both are goodies! 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 stamping the background onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. The panel was then taped to a board, and I sprinkled some Nuvo Shimmer Powders on it and spritzed with water. The colors that I used were Catherine Wheel and Cherry Bomb. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the Cherry Bomb on Simon’s website, but you might be able to find it elsewhere. I love these two colors of shimmer powders because of the different pinks, and yellows that you get, which in turn then creates some oranges.

Once the panel was dry, I used the A2 Postage Rectangles to trim it down, and then added some black to some of the hearts using a Copic Marker. The sentiment was cut once from glossy black cardstock and three times from regular black cardstock. Those were all adhered together for a stacked sentiment and then adhered to the panel using foam strips.

That does it for this project! A pretty simple and easy card, but I love the different colors mixed with the black sentiment. Thanks for joining me today, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Floral Warm Wishes

Welcome back, friends! I’m so glad that you stopped by to check out today’s post featuring the new Warm Wishes Medley Script and the Nested Stitched Ovals from Simon’s DieCember release. 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 die cutting the sentiment three times from red cardstock and creating the frame from white cardstock. To be honest, the flowers and leaves were already cut from a previous project from several months ago, and they were cut from white and fog cardstock.

My background was created using the Snowflake Burst Pinpoint plate and splattering that with some silver acrylic ink. I adhered the frame to the panel with foam tape and secured the leaves and flowers to the frame with liquid glue.

The sentiment was added with glue, as well as the red gems for a touch of sparkly! That does it for this project. Don’t forget to head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire DieCember release. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Peaceful Bird

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! We are celebrating the DieCember release with a super fun Instagram Hop, so be sure to check that out for your chance to win a gift card to the Simon’s website! Who doesn’t love winning gift cards, am I right?! Today’s project is featuring the new Flourish Bird in an icy surrounding along with the EZ Strips Christmas stamp, so let’s go ahead and get into 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 bird twice from red cardstock, and ink blended it using Brick ink. Once done with the ink blending, I assembled the bird with foam tape in between the two layers. I then got started on the spruce sprigs.

The greenery was cut several times from Fern and Forest cardstock, adding the Diamond Dust to them using liquid glue. Those were all set aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark Ink, heat set using Princess Gold Embossing Powder and trimmed out using the EZ Strips Rounded Rectangles die.

The background was created using a panel of the forest cardstock that was gold splattered and the Whirl Diamond Plate cut from the same cardstock. That was adhered in place and I began adhering the sprigs in place as well. Some of the sprigs were trimmed off and tucked in different place for a more full appearance. The bird and sentiment were adhered using foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this one! Sorry if you guys are tired of the icy leaves, I’ve just been having so much fun making them! Don’t forget to join the Instagram Hop! Comment along the hop for your chance to win a gift card. Thanks so much for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp You Can Do Anything

Hello Friend, and thank so much for joining me! I’m back today with a project featuring the Mountain Horizon from Simon’s DieCember release. What are your favorites from the release? I’d love to know in the comments! I’ve already added things to my shopping cart! Let’s go ahead and jump into the details for this one.

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

When I saw this Mountain Horizon die cut, I knew that I wanted to try to do something different with it. I thought it might look cool if I only used a few pieces of it to create an abstract design, so that’s what I did! I die cut it from several different colors from my stash and began adhering them to a black splattered panel.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark Ink, heat set it using white embossing powder and trimmed it out several times for a stacked sentiment. I added my panel to a black panel for some contrast and secured the sentiment with foam tape for dimension to finish up.

A pretty simple project for today, but I really like how it turned out! I hope you do too! It was just an idea to try to stretch the possibilities for the die. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a great day!

Simon Says Stamp Thanks Leaf Ring

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome to DieCember! It’s my favorite month after STAMPtember! Today’s project is featuring the new Classic Leaf Ring in super fun colors, 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.

This die set contains the leaf ring along with a separate leaf die, so I cut the leaf ring once from Rainforest, Sage, Sunshine and gold cardstock. I also cut the separate leaves twice from all of those colors as well. My background was created using the Wistful Leaves Embossing Folder along with the A2 Postage Rectangles.

I wanted some interest on the background, so I splattered it with Raindrop ink before adhering the leaf rings. I adhered one ring down and adhered the next one offset slightly, until they were all adhered. I then went back and added the separate leaves around to make it fuller. I went ahead and adhered the panel to the card base using foam tape and then adhered the sentiment, which was cut once from gold cardstock and tree times from white cardstock.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I always love creating projects with leaves, and this one was no exception. Don’t forget to check out the entire DieCember release over on Simon’s website. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Christmas Grid

Welcome back, Crafters! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Tree Plate from Simon’s latest release, And Everything Nice. This is a simple card that would be great for mass producing, that is of course, if you like die cutting! Let’s go ahead and get into 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 Tree Plate from red cardstock and splattering the trees with white ink. I used the negative panel to adhere to my card base with removable tape to help in the placement of the trees.

The trees were adhered using foam tape, and the sentiment was glued directly atop those. I decided that I needed something on the tops of the trees, so I die cut the Mini Hearts Party from silver cardstock and glued them in place to finish up.

That does it for this project! Like I said, a super simple one, but I do love me a good grid pattern! Don’t forget to check out the entire And Everything Nice release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and have yourself a great day!

Simon Says Stamp Pink Poinsettia

Hi Friends, and thanks so much for joining me! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Layering Pine Sprigs from Simon’s latest release, And Everything Nice. Let’s get into the details for this one, and a little back story of how it came about.

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

I began this project by die cutting the sprigs a bunch of times from Fern and Forest cardstock. I assembled the pieces and set them aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card. I die cut the sunflower from pink cardstock three times and did some ink blending using Carnation ink. I cut the center of the flower from Green Apple cardstock and assembled all of those pieces together. For some interest and shine, I added some green gems to the center.

Now for the back story .. I had all of the assembled pin sprigs on my desk when I received a phone call from my daughter, so I sat playing with them and moving them around when they ended up in this starburst pattern and that’s how this particular design came to be. I had originally planned on just having them here and there around the flower, but I like this better! I die cut the Acorn Bundle from Desert Storm and chocolate and ink blended that using Mocha ink.

My background was created using the Snowflake Burst Pinpoint Plate and I adhered the sprigs in place using liquid glue, while the flower and acorns were adhered with foam tape. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black and heat set using clear embossing powder. It was trimmed out using the coordinating die cut three times for a stacked sentiment. That was also added using foam strips to finish up.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it! I know this is technically a sunflower die cut, but I thought it was fine to use it as a poinsettia. What do you think? Don’t forget to check out the entire And Everything Nice release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!
