Simon Says Stamp Sympathy Flowers

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks for stopping by! I’ve been busy working on projects for Simon’s latest release, Be Bold. Have you checked it out yet? I’d love to know your favorites from this release! Today’s project is featuring a new floral stamp set called Wild & Free Flowers. While this is a gorgeous set, it will not be the focal point for this project. I opted to use it as a background instead. Let’s run through the details, shall we?

Main Products:

I began this project by stamping one of the florals from the SSS Wild & Free Flowers onto a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using PFS Misty Coast ink. I then used the PFS Stitched Rectangles to trim it down. Then, I went to work on the focal point for this card.

I die cut the SSS Etched Magnolia Blossom and a few SSS Budding Branches from scraps of Neenah 110lb cardstock, and did some very light ink blending on the magnolia using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Bubblegum. Once the ink blending was complete, I adhered the pieces together with liquid glue, after cutting the center of the flower from black cardstock.

I also used SSS Fog cardstock to cut a few flowers using the SSS Fine Floral Stem, and used some pink cardstock to cut a few flowers using the SSS Mini Flowers & Leaves set. Those were adhered together and set aside while I continued to work on the remaining pieces of the card. I die cut the sentiment from the SSS Handlettered Greetings set using SSS Black Glossy cardstock, and adhered that directly to the stamped panel.

Next, I played around with the placement of the flowers and leaves and began gluing the leaves in place first, then the grey flowers were next, and the magnolia was adhered atop all of that using SSS 3D Foam Strips. Some of the leaves were cut and tucked in where needed, and I glued white pearls to all of the areas with a little stem. The panel was then adhered to a black panel before being adhered to the card base.

That finishes up 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 the entire Be Bold release! Thanks again for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Sorry for Your Loss

Hello Friends! I’m so glad that you stopped by today! Have you checked out Simon’s latest release, Dream Big? It’s beautiful with so many things to offer! Today’s project is featuring a new embossing folder with die, entitled Terrace Floral. Let’s get into the details!

To begin, I trimmed two panels of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and placed each one inside the SSS Terrace Floral embossing folder and ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum 6, giving me a total of two panels to work with. I trimmed one of the panels down that would end up being on the card front.

For the other panel, I used the included die to trim the one floral element out, and I fussy cut a few more of the flowers. Once all of the cutting was done, I adhered the flowers to the panel using SSS 3D Foam Squares, trimming off the excess.

The floral panel was then adhered to a black panel for contrast. I adhered a SSS Sentiment Strip directly to the flowers using liquid glue, along with some white pearls. Everything was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

Super simple card, but I like how it turned out! I always like using mainly white on sympathy cards, I guess because it’s soothing. I hope you enjoyed this project and I hope it inspires you to get crafty! Don’t forget to stop by and check out the entire Dream Big release! Have a wonderful day and stay awesome!
