Simon Says Stamp Light Me Up

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for joining me today! Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Sweetheart, is live and it has so many awesome things! I was lucky enough to get to play with the new Love Bulb die, and I just think it’s so cool! Let’s go through the details, shall we?

To begin, I die cut the SSS Love Bulb from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and colored the base and outline using Copic Markers in C2 and C5. For the “inside” of the bulb, I did some light ink blending using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Bubblegum. I removed the heart from the bulb and added Carnation Pink Nuvo Crystal Drops and set that aside to dry.

Moving on with the rest of the card .. I cut a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frames and used the same Bubblegum ink for some light ink blending where the light bulb will be placed. I used the SSS Heart Stream die to make a “cord” for the bulb using SSS Holographic cardstock.

This cute little sentiment is from the SSS Light Me Up set. I stamped the sentiment on black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. I then used the coordinating die to trim it out. I also went ahead and cut two additional die cut sentiments and used liquid glue to adhere all of those together for a bit of dimension.

All of the elements of the card are cut and ready, so let’s assemble the card! I glued the Heart Stream along the top of the postage edge panel, and then glued the bulb underneath one of the hearts. The sentiment was then glued underneath the bulb and the heart was glued to the center of the bulb. This panel was then adhered to a card base using foam tape.

That does it for this one! It’s kind of a clean and simple card for me, which I never make, but I like the way this one turned out! To be completely honest, I wasn’t sure about the pink heart, but I decided to just go with it. Head on over to Simon and check out the entire Sweetheart release! I’d love to know your favorites! Thanks again for stopping by and stay awesome friend!

Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Hello

Hello Crafty Friend, and happy StampTember! StampTember is always so exciting! So many new products, and so many awesome collaboration sets! To celebrate, we are having a huge blog party! There will be tons of inspiration AND a scavenger hunt for exclusive codes to the Simon Says Stamp store! You can check out the SSS Blog for more inspiration, more details and more links to blogs with even more exclusive codes! You’ll find my exclusive code below! Today’s card is featuring this new, awesome, Fine Petal Background Plate. Such a cool plate to play with! So, let’s get right into the details of it.

I began by ink blending a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock using Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron and Broken China. I then used the SSS Fine Petal Background Plate to cut the ink blended panel using the Gemini Jr. I did have to run it through about four times to get a really good cut.

Once the panel was cut, I zhooshed most of the petals to give them some good dimension! I left some petals near the bottom un-zhooshed, is that even a word? Anyhoo, I left some flat so that I had a place for the sentiment. I then adhered the ink blended panel to a black cardstock panel using liquid glue. I thought the black background made a bold impact against the rainbow!

Next, I used the SSS Hello die and cut that from black glossy cardstock three times and adhered all of those together using glue. I also cut the shadow once from vellum and glued that behind the sentiment. This was then glued to the panel near the bottom.

This panel was then glued to the card base, which is Neenah 110lb. This was a super simple and quick card, but I love how it turned out! I really love the black elements combined with the rainbow colors!

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you’ll stop by and check out the entire StampTember line up! There’s so many great things in this release! Here’s my exclusive code for the SSS store! Join the scavenger hunt for more codes! Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day and don’t forget to stay awesome sweet friend!
