Simon Says Stamp Amazing Scattered Leaves

Hello, Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Scattered Leaves stencil from Simon’s latest release, Beautiful Moments. Have you checked out the release yet? I’d love to know your favorites! Let’s get through the deets for this project, shall we?

I began this project by deciding on a color combo, which landed on Cabbage, Kale, Surf and Ocean. I used a Craft Tacky Mat to get my cardstock panel and first stencil situated. For the first stencil, I used the Cabbage and the Ocean inks, while using Kale for the second stencil. I trimmed the panel down using the new A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles and decided that I did not want this bright white panel. To remedy that, I did some light ink blending over the entire panel using the same Cabbage ink, mainly in the center, and using the Surf on the outer perimeter.

I die cut the You sentiment once from gold cardstock and twice from black cardstock, adhering all of those together for a stacked sentiment. The sub-sentiment was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder. Before adhering the sentiments to the panel, I used a gold chrome marker to go over some of the veins of the leaves for some added interest. The panel was adhered to a black panel, both sentiments were adhered using foam strips and some gold metallic pearls were added to finish up.

That does it for this one! A pretty simple project for sure, but I love the addition of the gold on the leaves! Don’t forget to check out the entire Beautiful Moments release, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Simon Says Stamp Birthday Sunflower Pattern

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Sunflower Pattern Stencil from Simon’s latest release, Cheering for You. Let’s go ahead and run 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 taping the Sunflower Pattern Stencil to a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and doing some ink blending using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Lemonade, Honey, Clay and Latte. Once the ink blending was complete, I trimmed the panel down using the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles, and splattered it using gold acrylic ink.

The centers of my flowers weren’t showing up as well as I would have liked, so I just went over those dots with a Sharpie. I used the SSS Big Old Birthday Stamp set for the sentiment and stamped that onto black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set it using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. I then used the coordinating die to trim that out, along with two extra cuts to adhere all of those together.

The sentiment was adhered to the panel using SSS 3D Foam Strips and the panel was then adhered to a black panel for contrast before being adhered to the card base to finish up.

Another super simple card for today, but I like how this one turned out! I have to tell myself sometimes that not every card needs to be some elaborate creation that takes all day! Thanks again for joining me today, and don’t forget to check out the entire Cheering For You release over on Simon’s website. Have a wonderful day!
