Simon Says Stamp Circle Thanks

Hello Friends, and thanks for joining me! Today’s post is featuring the new Circle Frames from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. I love geometric shapes, so I got right to work creating a couple of cards using this set! Let’s go ahead and go through the details!

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

A while back I was creating fun watercolor backgrounds for die cuts, and I had a panel left over, and I thought it would be cool to create a geometric card using that. Someone had asked me to make a video of the process for creating the watercolor background, and you can view it here, if you’re at all interested. I began by pulling the smaller die cuts from this set and cutting them from the watercolor panel and from some black cardstock. This die set is a great value, because there are ten die cuts in this set, so definitely check that out!

Once I had all of my pieces cut, I played around with the placement on a panel that I had cut using the A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles. Before adhering anything to the panel, I gave it a dose of black splatter, and gave my solid black pieces a dose of white splatter.

The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using white embossing powder and trimmed out several times for that stacked sentiment look that we all love. This sentiment is from the XL Greetings 3 set, but I haven’t been unable to locate it on their website, unfortunately, but any sentiment you have would work just fine! My splattered panel was adhered to a black panel for contrast using foam tape, while the circles and sentiment were secured with liquid glue.

That does it for this project! A simple yet fun project! I hope you stop by and check out the entire Shine On release, as there’s lots of fun stuff to peruse! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Friendly Butterflies

Welcome back crafty friends! So glad you stopped by to check out today’s project featuring the Dewpierce Butterfly once again. I’ve had so much fun creating with this die, and it’s probably getting about time to put it away for a little bit, and move on to something else! Anyway, 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 die cutting the butterflies from yellow and black cardstock and ink blended the edges using Honey ink. Those were assembled and set aside while I worked on the rest of the card. The background panel was actually a panel that I already had in my stash which had yellow splatter on it, so I just added some black splatter.

I die cut the filmstrip from black, added the PET Tape to the panel and then secured the filmstrip over the tape with liquid glue. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink, heat set using gold embossing powder and trimmed out three times for a stacked sentiment.

The splattered panel was adhered to a black panel with foam tape for contrast, the sentiment was glued in place, as were the butterflies to finish up.

That does it for this project! Do you ever have panels lying around and feel a sense of accomplishment when you can finally find it a home?! That was my feeling with this one! And, I just love the butterflies AND the PET Tape. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!
