Spellbinders Merry Floral

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring several new products from the Spellbinders August releases. It’s hard for me to think about holiday cards in August, but I really enjoyed making this card, especially with all of the glitter and splatter. Let’s run through the details, shall we?

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

I began this project by die cutting the Christmas Foliage from Crimson, Poppy, Fern, Forest and gold cardstock. I did some ink blending on the flowers using Brick ink, and used Lush Forest ink on the greenery. Once I was done with the ink blending, I assembled the flowers, splattered white acrylic ink on all of the pieces and then added sparkly glitter using some glue that dries clear. I thought all of the pieces came out really pretty with the “icy” look.

I die cut the Bow & Bell Scallop Frame from Forest cardstock and white splattered that as well. I wondered if I had too much splatter, but then just decided to go with it! I also cut the Merry sentiment from Crimson three times and adhered all of those together for a stacked sentiment.

I secured the panel to the card base and then began adhering the leaves first, followed by the flowers. The sentiment was the last addition to finish up this project.

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Don’t forget to head over to the Spellbinders website to check out all of the August releases! Thanks again for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Happy Happy Friday! I recently got the Artful Palette set from @simonsaysstamp and had to get busy creating a few cards using various patterned papers from my hoarding stash! I can’t be the only one that hoards patterned papers, right?!? These cards were quite fun to make, and I’m considering making a few more! I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

I have so many stamp sets that I haven’t used, and I’ve been trying to make my way through some of them! Today’s project is featuring one of those sets, it’s the Oh, Shiitake set from @simonsaysstamp. An oldie but goodie for sure! I love the addition of the stencil for this product suite, because sometimes I just don’t feel like coloring!

Happy Monday, Friends! Today’s post is featuring the Tiny Flora Embossing Folder from @simonsaysstamp Beautiful Moments release. I embossed the panel onto glossy cardstock and used to brayer to add the pink. In the process of brayering, the bottom portion of my panel had ink splotches that I didn’t like, so I just ripped it off and wet with what I had. Definitely a case of making something good out of something bad. I hope you all have a fabulous day!

It’s Friday and I’m back with more cards featuring the Groovy Daisies from @simonsaysstamp. Catch all of the deets over on my blog at redsas.co. Hope you all have a great day and a fabulous weekend!

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!
