Simon Says Stamp Christmas Cardinal

Hello Friends, and welcome back to my blog! Hope you’re having a great STAMPtember so far! Today’s project is featuring the new Cute Cardinal along with some older products. Let’s 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 cardinal from Poppy, Black and Beeswax cardstock and ink blending using Brick ink. I also cut the Arching Leaf Border from Sage cardstock and used Field for the ink blending on that. Once I was done ink blending the leaves, I gave them a good splatter of white, along with my forest green background. When the splatter was dry, I applied some liquid glue down the centers of the leaves and added some glitter for an icy look.

The sentiment was stamped onto that same green cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set using white embossing powder. It was trimmed out three times for that stacked sentiment look. When my glitter was dry, I started the assembly process.

I arranged the leaves and secured those in place using liquid glue, tucking in the extra leaves from the die cut set. I also added red gems in random places for the appearance of berries. The cardinal and sentiment were secured with foam tape, and the panel was adhered to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this project! I’m really loving that snowy, icy look on my holiday cards, so I’m thinking that I might have to incorporate it into my personal Christmas cards for this year. Don’t forget to head over to Simon’s website to check out the entire release. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome 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 Envelope Grid

Hello and welcome to STAMPtember! There’s a huge Blog Party happening today to celebrate the launch of STAMPtember, and everyone participating has a graphic for you to claim a free gift with purchase, or a free gift with a certain dollar amount, so join the scavenger hunt for all of the deals!

Over the last couple of months, I have created cards by taking the smallest die from a set and repeating the pattern. Today’s card is another example of this. While I love this new Mail Call set, I thought it would be cute to grid an envelope grid, 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 die cutting the envelope several times from quite a few different colors of cardstock. I wasn’t sure how many I would need, so I just went ahead and cut a bunch. I then added these tiny heart stickers, which are from Doodlebug Designs, that I’ve had forever.

The background was created using the new A2 Postage Rectangles along with some black splatter. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using clear embossing powder. I trimmed it out several times using the coordinating die to create that stacked sentiment that we all love.

I decided on the sentiment placement and adhered that with foam strips, while the envelopes were adhered with foam tape. A super simple card, but I love the way it turned out, and I’m so glad that I took the time to do all of the die cutting.

That does it for this project! Do you like creating grids or repeat patterns on cards? Don’t forget to check out the entire STAMPtember release over on Simon’s website, and stay tuned all month for those long awaited collaboration sets! Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Hello Sunflower

Hello Friends, and welcome to STAMPtember! Have you had a chance to check out the entire STAMPtember release yet? I’d love to know your favorites in the comments! Stay tuned for a huge blog party taking place tomorrow! I really had fun making this card, which uses the new Sunflower Dreams stamp paired with some other leaves. Let’s go 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 Sunflower Dreams onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using clear embossing powder. I then pulled out my watercolors and painted the main flower only. Once I was done with the painting, I went back in and added some details using colored pencils, Copic markers and a Copic Multiliner pen. Because I only wanted the larger flower, I set out on the tedious task of fussy cutting.

I then die cut the Abundant Leaves several times from Neenah, as well as gold cardstock, and I cut the center of the flower from the Autumn Sunflower set. I went ahead and ink blended the green leaves using Sprout, Field and Surf inks. The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and twice from the dark green cardstock to create a stacked sentiment.

The forest green background was gold splattered before adding the other elements. The gold leaves were added first, with the green leaves being offset slightly. The sunflower was added using foam tape, as was that extra sunflower center that was cut. The sentiment was adhered directly to the card panel using liquid glue to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you like it! I do love the contrast of the background with the flower and leaves. Don’t forget to check out the entire STAMPtember release, and stay tuned all month for lots of surprises! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Big Bus

Hello there, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Big Bus from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. A perfect die cut for all of those back to school cards, and this one is a shaped 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 die cutting all of the elements of the bus from coordinating cardstock colors, meaning the bus was cut from yellow, the tires were cut from black, the wheels and bumpers were cut from matte silver cardstock, etc. Once I was finished with the die cutting, I did some shading on the bus and windows using Honey and Morning inks.

When die cutting the bus itself, I folded the yellow cardstock in half and did a partial die cut to create the shaped card. I assembled the bus with all of the cut elements, and added this Reverse Back to School sentiment strip with foam tape to finish up.

This really was a simple project to complete, and I just love that the card itself is the bus! I hope you enjoyed it as well. Don’t forget to check out the entire Happy Camper release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Geometric Hello

Hello Crafty Friend and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Mid Century Elemental Plate from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. I actually made several cards using this plate, but I think one is my favorite! 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 ink blending a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Seafoam and Lilac inks. I then ran the panel and plate through the die cutting machine, trying to keep the pieces in tact as much as possible. I placed some Press n Seal on the front of the panel and placed small pieces of foam tape on the back of the pieces.

I then removed the negative frame piece and placed that, along with the card base in the corner of the Misti to help with placement. I removed the backing from the foam tape and adhered the pieces to the card base and once again removed the negative frame piece when I was done.

The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock, twice from Neenah, while the shadow portion was cut twice. Those were all adhered together and glued to the front of the card to finish up.

That does it for this project. I love the soft blend that I was able to get on this project, and the gold sentiment went perfectly! Don’t forget to check out the entire Happy Camper release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Fun With Friends

Hey There, and welcome back! I’ve done a couple of cutesy cards lately, and here is my second one featuring the Cute Campers set from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. Let’s go ahead and go through the deets!

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

I began this project by stamping all of my elements using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting them with clear embossing powder. I then used way too many Copic Markers to color in all of my images! I’ll list those at the bottom of this post, to save space and time.

Once all of the coloring was complete, I fussy cut the images out. There are coordinating dies for this set to make things easier, but I didn’t have those. My background panel was created using a deckle edge die cut and some ink blending with Sky, Dusk, Night, Sunbeam and Black inks. I did add some white splatter on the panel to mimic stars for some added interest.

The tent, trees and camper element were adhered directly to the panel with liquid glue, because I wanted them to appear more in the background, while the critters, fire and sentiment were adhered with foam tape. The panel was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

That’s it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Cutesy cards really aren’t in my wheelhouse, but I really enjoyed creating this scene! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day, friends!

Simon Says Stamp I Love You Dual Diamonds

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back to my blog! I’m back today with a card featuring the new Dual Diamonds from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. This card is also featuring the new ilysm stamp and die set, 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 ink blending a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Seafoam and Heather inks. I then ran the panel and die through the machine, being careful to keep the pieces in place. I went ahead and placed some Press n Seal to the front of the panel and added pieces of foam tape to the back of the diamonds.

I pulled the negative frame portion from the Press n Seal and placed that, along with my card base into the corner of the Misti. Once I removed the backing from the foam tape, I lined up the diamonds with the guide piece in the Misti. I could then carefully remove the negative frame piece, and all of my diamonds are perfectly lined up!

I die cut the ilysm sentiment once from black glossy cardstock and twice from black cardstock, while cutting the shadow portion twice from Neenah. All of those were adhered together and glued directly to the card. The sub sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set with Detail White Embossing Powder, trimmed down and adhered with foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I do love a great ink blended panel! Don’t forget to check out the entire Happy Camper release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Blossom Bursts

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Blossom Bursts Embossing Folder from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. 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 this project by embossing the folder onto a panel of watercolor paper. To add color to the flowers, I used Bubblegum, Carnation, Cantaloupe, Honey, Sunbeam, Surf, Mocha and Ocean ink. I began with one color and smooshed some ink onto my glass mat and painted it on using a detail water brush.

Once done with the painting, I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark ink onto black cardstock and heat setting it with Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it out using the coordinating die, along with two extra cuts, and adhered all of those pieces together.

The trimmed panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, while the sentiment was adhered using foam strips. I also added a few Dazzling Gems to finish up.

That does it for this one. I hope you enjoyed it! This was just an easy way to stretch your ink pads and use them for more than just stamping or ink blending. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Nesting Bird

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Fun Birdie from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. Let’s get right 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 pieces from Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some ink blending using Surf, Ocean, Mist, Heather and Black inks. Once done with the ink blending, I assembled the bird using liquid glue, adding a black gem for the eye.

Next, I cut the Rustic Nest from dark brown and Desert Storm cardstock, adhering the pieces together, tucking in the twigs on the side. The background panel was created by cutting it with a deckle edge die, smooshing some Seafoam ink onto my glass mat and using a paper towel inside a ziplock bag to tap the color onto the panel. This is a technique that Cathy Zielske uses, and it works really well!

I decided on the nest placement and stamped the sentiment directly on the panel using VersaFine Onyx Ink and heat set that using clear embossing powder. The nest was glued to the panel and the bird was glued inside the nest. The panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this one! Head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire Happy Camper release. Thanks again for joining me, and don’t forget to stay awesome, friend!

Simon Says Stamp Delicate Blossoms

Hello Friend, and thanks for joining me! Today’s project is featuring the new Delicate Blossoms stamp from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. There’s a fun Instagram Hop going on over there, so be sure to check that out, as Simon is giving away a $25 gift card at every stop along the hop. 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 stamping the image onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using clear embossing powder. I then went to work using pan watercolors to color the image. I’m not even going to lie, this process too me almost an entire day! I’m very slow and I wanted to make sure that I had some depth to the flowers and leaves.

Once I was satisfied, I used the new More A7 Rectangles set to trim it down. I added some foam tape to the back of the panel and adhered it to a black panel for some contrast. I cut my card base, black splattered it and set it aside while I worked on the sentiment. I cut the hello once from silver cardstock and twice from black cardstock, while cutting the shadow portion twice as well. All of those pieces were adhered together before moving on.

I adhered the panel to the card base, glued my sentiment in place and added some silver embellishments to finish up. I chose the space near the bottom right, because I did not want to cover up any of the flowers that I had spent hours coloring!

That does it for this project. I hope you like it! I love the finished product of a watercolor piece, I just wish that it didn’t take me so long to complete! Don’t forget to check out the entire Happy Camper release! Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!
