Spellbinders Just A Note Daisies

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Here’s another project featuring the Yana’s Daisies from the Spellbinders April releases. Let’s get right into 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 daisies once from Neenah 110lb cardstock and once from gold cardstock. I also cut the base layer from Neenah as well for the assembly. While the white petals were still in place, I did some ink blending on those using Morning and Heather inks.

I adhered the gold outline portion to the base layer using liquid glue, and then adhered the ink blended petals in place, along with the gold centers. The sentiment, which is from the Crafty Hugs Sentiments, was gold foiled onto Neenah and trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment look.

My background panel was created using the Nested Postage Labels & Tag, and then splattered with gold acrylic ink. This panel was adhered to the card base, the daisies were adhered using foam tape and the sentiment was adhered using foam strips. I decided that I needed some additional leaves and cut those from the Club Blooms set using Neenah and gold cardstock. I added some clear drops to finish up this project.

I hope you enjoyed this one! The Yana’s Daisies products are super gorgeous and if you haven’t checked them out, I do encourage you to do so! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Tuesday, Friends! I’m back with a collection of cards that I’m referring to as tattered florals. I love how these turned out with the soft pastel colors and worn edges of the petals! These are all @simonsaysstamp products, and you can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. I hope you all have a fabulous day! Happiest Friday to you! I hope you’re having a wonderful day so far! I had some tidbits of this gorgeous, vintage inspired patterned paper leftover and decided to create some cards using the Artful Palette dies from @simonsaysstamp. I also used the stencils as a guide for the layout, because I’m just not that talented .. 🤪. I was quite amazed at how many cards that I created from these little scraps that I had leftover, plus it kind of made me look at my scraps a little bit differently knowing that I could create something beautiful from basically nothing. When the background does all the work, you only need a sentiment! I find this to be the case most of the time when working with @49andmarket washi tapes! They are perfect for creating super quick, yet beautiful cards when you’re needing to add to your stash. This particular washi tape has to be the prettiest that I’ve ever seen! 😍 If you haven’t checked them out, I highly encourage you to do so! Hope everyone has a fabulous day! Happy Monday, Friends! I recently created this dark, dramatic card using the Wild & Free product suite from @simonsaysstamp. I always love working with darker colors, but find that I don’t do it very often, so I might have to start mixing it in a bit more! You can find more details for this project over on my blog at redsas.co. Hope you have a fabulous day! Hey There, Friends! This might be my last post for a while that features the Dewpierce Butterfly from @simonsaysstamp … or it might not! 🤣🤣. I’ve really enjoyed playing with this die, as if you couldn’t tell!

Simon Says Stamp White Fusion Thanks

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new White Fusion stencil from Simon’s latest Rain or Shine release. Let’s go ahead and jump into the details.

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

I began this project by stenciling the White Fusion leaf onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using Simon’s Sage, Cabbage, Artichoke and Kale inks, along with Pinkfresh Eucalyptus ink. Once I was done with all of the stenciling, I fussy cut the leaf out, and added some gold detail with a Krylon Gold Leafing pen.

My next step was to cut a panel using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and splatter that with gold acrylic ink. I die cut the Abundant Leaf Background from Green Apple cardstock and did some ink blending along the edges using those same green inks. I adhered the background panel to the card base using foam tape, and then adhered the White Fusion leaf with foam tape as well.

The Abudant Leaf Background was trimmed apart and secured with liquid glue underneath the larger leaf. I die cut the Simple Thanks once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah 110lb and adhered all of those together before being adhered to the card. To finish up, I added some Pinkfresh Gold Metallic Pearls to pull everything together.

That does it for this project! I appreciate you stopping by, and I hope that you found a little bit of inspiration! Have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Birthday Daisies

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Spellbinders April releases are live and I’m back again today with another project featuring Yana’s Daisies. I previously posted a project that used just the petals from this project, so you’ll have to check that out. Let’s go ahead and get into 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 Yana’s Daisies several times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I knew that I wanted to use just the outline for this project, so I carefully trimmed the leaves off of the daisies. Once I was done with my cutting, I splattered the daisy outlines with black acrylic ink.

My background was created using Gravel cardstock along with the Nestled Postage Labels & Tag set. I did not want to have to cut the daisies again to get black centers, so I just used a black ink pad for that. I began adhering the daisy clusters with liquid glue, filling in all of the spaces and trimming off the excess. The sentiment was silver foiled onto black cardstock and trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment.

The gray panel was adhered to a black panel, the sentiment was adhered using foam strips, the centers were added in place and clear drops were added to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Don’t forget to check out all of the April releases over the Spellbinders webpage. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Feel Better Daisies

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back to my blog! The new April releases from Spellbinders are live, and I’m back today with a project featuring Yana’s Daisies! Yana makes beautiful florals, and I was so excited to be able to play with this collection! Let’s go ahead and go through the details!

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

I began this project by cutting Yana’s Daisies several times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. You’ll see in a later post where I use the outline of the daisies, but for this post, I wanted to use all of these petals that were leftover from that project! I picked out a bunch of the petals and did some light ink blending on those using Bubblegum ink. I also did some ink blending on the centers using Honey ink.

I retrieved some Press n Seal from the kitchen, and arranged the petals upside down around one of the centers, basically creating my own flower with the pieces. Once everything was arranged, I placed tiny pieces of foam tape on the back of the flower pieces. Once that was done, I arranged the flowers onto my panel, which I had previously splattered with gold acrylic ink.

I wanted some greenery for the flowers, so I die cut one of the leaves from the Club Blooms set from Green Apple cardstock and did some ink blending using Artichoke ink. I tucked those under the petals and secured them in place with liquid glue.

The sentiment, which is from the You Are Everything Sentiments set, was gold foiled and trimmed out several times with the coordinating die and adhered atop the panel with foam strips. To finish up, I added some Gold Metallic Pearls for some added shine.

That does it for this project! I thought this project was going to be a lot more tedious than it was, and I think that was because of the Press n Seal! Don’t forget to head on over to Spellbinders to check out all of the April releases! Thanks again for joining me, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Thank You Blossom

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back with a project featuring the new Thank You Basics from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. Let’s go ahead and go 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 die cutting the Elegant Blossom Branch from Neenah 110lb cardstock and ink blending the pieces using Guava, Limelicious and Pearfection inks. I did cut the stem portion two additional times and adhered those together, along with the pieces of the flowers with liquid glue.

The background was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames, which is one of my favorites, and then splattered using gold acrylic ink. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Thank You Basics set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. The panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape, the stem was glued in place and the flowers were adhered with additional pieces of foam tape. To finish up, I added a few clear drops for some shine.

That does it for this one! I really love the clean and simple look of this card. Clean and simple doesn’t always come easy for me, so I do enjoy when an idea comes together! Don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Mod Plants

Hello Friends and welcome back! Thanks for joining me for today’s project featuring the new Mod Plants from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. You’ve had a few day to peruse the release, what are your favorites? Let me know in the comments! 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 pulling my Bubblegum, Sunbeam and Seafoam inks. I picked out one plant from this set to do a repeat rainbow pattern. Once the stamp was place in the Misti, I inked the top portion of the stamp with the Bubblegum ink and used a blending brush to soften the edge of the ink. I did end up stamping several times to get good coverage. I then inked the middle portion of the stamp with the Sunbeam ink, softening the edges as before. I then inked the bottom portion of the stamp with the Seafoam ink, softening the edges of the ink again.

Once I was finished with one leaf, I moved it to the next area on my panel and repeated those stamping steps each time. When finished, I used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames to trim the panel down. This was then adhered to the card base using foam tape. The Sending Love & Hugs sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and the shadow portion was also cut twice. All of those pieces were adhered together using liquid glue and then added to the card with foam strips to finish up.

That does it for this one! It’s a simple design, but I really like how it turned out! Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you have a fabulous day, and don’t forget to stay awesome!

Pinkfresh Dark Floral Beauty

Hello Crafty Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring some relatively new Pinkfresh goodies. I have a problem .. I purchase Pinkfresh products, and then I never use them, so I’m trying to do something about that! With that being said, I love the pastel, floral vibe of Pinkfresh, but I wanted to try my hand at a dark Pinkfresh card. Let me know what you think in the comments. Let’s go ahead and run through the details for this project!

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

Ok, so I knew I wanted dark colors, but I didn’t want to go my usual route of black and grays, so I opted for blues and gold. I began by gold foiling the Interlaced Diamond Press Plate onto Indigo cardstock and used the coordinating die to trim it out. I also cut one from black and adhered those together using liquid glue. My next step was to cut the Fresh Florals from Partly Cloudy cardstock. This is an older Spellbinders cardstock, and I think the comparable new ColorWheel color would be Malibu.

Once all of the florals and leaves were cut, I did some ink blending on the flowers using Stargazer ink. I went pretty heavy handed as I wanted the flowers to match the indigo. After I was done ink blending, I decided that it might be pretty to add a layer of gold to everything, so I cut the Fresh Florals again from gold cardstock. I adhered the blue flowers to the gold flowers using foam squares, because I wanted to be able to see the underlying layer. I then assembled the rest of the flowers with liquid glue.

I gold foiled the sentiment, which is from the Favorite Things set, onto the same indigo cardstock and used the coordinating die to trim it out twice. Before beginning the assembly of the card, I cut a panel of the indigo and gold splattered that to add a bit of background interest.

The Interlaced Diamonds was adhered first and then I began adhering the leaves. I glued the gold leaves in place and then glued the blue leaves atop those but slightly off center. I then glued the flowers in place and adhered the sentiment in the center using foam strips. To finish up, I added gold metallic pearls to the centers of the flowers.

That does it for this project! So, how do you feel about a dark Pinkfresh card? Don’t get me wrong, I do love me some pastel colors too, but I needed to try this. I appreciate you swinging by to check out this project, and I hope you have a wonderful day! Stay awesome, friend!

Simon Says Stamp Pepita Background

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Pepita Background from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. 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 background onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using Dew, Mist and Raindrop inks. I started with the lightest color at the top of my panel and used a small blending brush to soften the edges of the ink on the stamp, so as not to have any harsh edges. I did have to repeat this step multiple times to get a good image. I proceeded with the the other colors doing the same thing.

Once I was satisfied with the stamped image, I made marks on the panel so I knew where to trim it down. I then used my scissors to trim along the edges to give it a more interesting appeal. I really liked that look and did another card the same way. I die cut the Lush Leaves from Matte Silver cardstock as well as an aqua mirrored cardstock that I purchased from my local craft store.

While I was cutting, I went ahead and cut the Scripty Hugs once from the same mirror cardstock and twice from Neenah, as well as cutting the shadow portion twice. I adhered all of those pieces together and started the assembly process. The background was adhered using foam tape while the leaves were secured with liquid glue. I added the sentiment with foam strips and added Surf Dazzling Gems to finish up this project.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I think the aqua colors pair so nicely with the silver. Don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release! Thanks again for joining me and have an awesome day!

I also used the stencils as a guide for the layout, because I’m just not that talented .. 🤪. I was quite amazed at how many cards that I created from these little scraps that I had leftover, plus it kind of made me look at my scraps a little bit differently knowing that I could create something beautiful from basically nothing. When the background does all the work, you only need a sentiment! I find this to be the case most of the time when working with @49andmarket washi tapes! They are perfect for creating super quick, yet beautiful cards when you’re needing to add to your stash. This particular washi tape has to be the prettiest that I’ve ever seen! 😍 If you haven’t checked them out, I highly encourage you to do so! Hope everyone has a fabulous day! Happy Monday, Friends! I recently created this dark, dramatic card using the Wild & Free product suite from @simonsaysstamp. I always love working with darker colors, but find that I don’t do it very often, so I might have to start mixing it in a bit more! You can find more details for this project over on my blog at redsas.co. Hope you have a fabulous day! Hey There, Friends! This might be my last post for a while that features the Dewpierce Butterfly from @simonsaysstamp … or it might not! 🤣🤣. I’ve really enjoyed playing with this die, as if you couldn’t tell! I paired these butterflies with a couple of products from other companies that I think are super fun! You can find all of the details over on my blog at redsas.co. I hope you all have a wonderful day! Happy Monday, Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today’s post is a pretty, pastel floral featuring the Graceful Flowers from @simonsaysstamp. I’m really loving the soft colors paired with the Seafoam cardstock! You can find more details over on my blog at redsas.co, along with more pics and a complete supply list!

Simon Says Stamp Nifty Happy to Know You

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m so glad that you stopped by to check out today’s project featuring the new Nifty Star Plate from the Rain or Shine release. Let’s go ahead and run through the details, shall we?

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

I began this project by die cutting the Nifty Star Plate once from Neenah 110lb cardstock and once from black cardstock. I then poked out all of the pieces from both panels and put the black panel onto a Craft Tacky Mat and put the white pieces into place. Once those were in place, I did some light ink blending using Bubblegum, Sunbeam and Seafoam inks.

To get proper placement onto my card base, I put some removable tape on the back of the black panel and began the inlay process adding the black pieces first and securing with liquid glue and then adding the ink blended pieces atop that. Once all of the pieces were in place, I carefully removed the black panel that I was using as my guide.

The sentiment, which is from the Extra Talkative set, was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using Detail White Embossing Powder. That was then trimmed out using the coordinating die along with two additional cuts. Those were adhered together and added to the card using foam strips. To finish up, I added black crystals to the centers of each piece.

That finishes up this project! I hope you enjoyed it! Inlay work is time consuming, but I think it yields such a beautiful project regardless of what it is. Thanks again for joining me today, and don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release over on Simon’s website. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Floral Harlequin Thank You

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Pepita Background from Simon’s latest release, Rain or Shine. This project is also featuring the new Thank You Basics set, which is a staple to have in your stash! Let’s go ahead and go 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 stamping the Pepita Background onto a black panel using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat setting it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I repeated that process for a second time to get a smoother embossed finish. I think the black on black with the glossy pattern is just amazing! I wanted this panel to be just smaller than my card base, so I made some marks and began cutting around the design. I absolutely love the edging of the panel!

I went ahead and splattered my card base with black ink and set that aside to dry while I worked on the other elements. I die cut the Autumn Sunflower twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock, which gave me four pieces. I also die cut the Privet Branch twice from Neenah, and cut the Winsome branch a couple of times from black cardstock.

I did some ink blending on the flower using Bubblegum and Carnation inks. I was a bit more heavy handed on the bottom layer and lighter on the top layers. The leaves were ink blended using Celery, Pearfection and Seafoam inks. I love adding Seafoam to green ink blending as I think it adds a nice little pop of color. I assembled the flower and decided to go back and cut the center from black cardstock to bring some cohesiveness.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from the new Thank You Basics set, using VersaMark ink and heat set that using Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it down so that it would fit nicely in the center of my flower. The background panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, and I began adhering the green leaves first with liquid glue. Next, I adhered the black leaves, the flower and the sentiment. To finish up, I added a few clear drops.

This card has so much dimension, and I love it! I think it would have been pretty with an aqua colored flower as well, or any color of flower! I hope you enjoyed this project, as I sure did! Don’t forget to check out the entire Rain or Shine release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day!
