Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Oak Leaf

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Oak Leaf stencils and die cut from Simon’s latest release, Every Happiness. I decided to give my oak leaf a rainbow spin, so let’s go ahead and get into the details!

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

For this project, I decided that I didn’t want a boring, green leaf, so I pulled the rainbow colors for the ink blend on this one! The colors used were Bubblegum, Sweets, Sunbeam, Seafoam, Surf, Lilac and Orchid. Once done with the ink blending, I used the coordinating die cut to trim it out along with a black one. Those were adhered together using foam tape to create a shadow for the leaf.

My sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink and heat set using white embossing powder. It was trimmed out several times for a stacked sentiment. The background panel was cut using the Nested Stitched Rectangles and some black splatter was added before adhering the strip of PET Tape along the side. The panel was adhered to a black layer for contrast, the leaf was added and the sentiment was glued in place to finish up this project.

Another project complete! This has been a fun release to play with! I hope you’ll swing by and check out the entire Every Happiness release! Until next time, have a great day and stay awesome!

Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday so far! I’m back with a project featuring the @simonsaysstamp A Little Artsy set. I didn’t want to cover up this fun patterned paper, so I opted to stamp the butterfly on acetate, which worked out well! The black ink dried back a little on the acetate, so I just traced on the back with a black Copic marker to darken it back up.

Happy Monday, Friends! I found some time over the weekend to create another quick card using the Sketched Florals Watercolor Card Fronts from @simonsaysstamp. I’ve quite enjoyed the simplicity of these cards, since I seem to have a problem with overthinking my cards! 🤣🤣 I can’t be the only one, right?!?!

Masculine cards are easy and quick to make with an embossing folder, a sentiment and some metallic rub-ons! I paired black, gold and sage together for this one. I tend to over complicate my cards, so I always feel like I’m cheating when I’m able to make quick cards 🤣🤣🤣. I hope everyone has a great Saturday and a wonderful weekend!

Happiest Friday to you! Today’s project is featuring the Dewdrop Daisy from @simonsaysstamp along with some other fun products from various companies. You can find all of the deets over on my blog at redsas.co, if you’re interested. I hope everyone has an amazing day!

Happy Wednesday to you! I recently purchased these @simonsaysstamp Watercolor Card Fronts and added some quick, loose watercolor along with a sentiment, and BAM! This card came together in no time at all! Can I just add that purple and sage are super pretty together! That is all. Hope you have an amazing day!

Spinning by to say Hi on this Tuesday morning! This sweet little card was created using the Easy Breezy set from @simonsaysstamp. A little ink pad watercolor and some Copics brought this one all together! I hope everyone is having a great week so far! The humidity in Virginia is unbearable, so I’m staying in the studio!

Simon Says Stamp Glowing Daisies

Welcome back to my blog! Today’s project is featuring the Dewdrop Daisy from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. I had seen a photograph of a flower on Instagram that had these stunning colors, and I decided that I was going to try to recreate it with some ink blending! 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 by die cutting a bunch of times from Neenah cardstock. The flower has two layers when assembled, but I opted to add an additional layer for more fullness. The ink colors that I used for the flowers were Carnation, Heather and Morning. I started with the Carnation in the center of each piece and then added the Heather just outside of that, and then added the Morning on the ends of the petals. Once done with that ink blending, I glued the pieces together and added the black center piece using foam tape.

My background was created using a plum colored cardstock that was silver splattered before adding the Whirl Diamond Plate that was cut from Moonflower cardstock. If there are flowers, you know that I have to have lots of leaves! I die cut the Budding Branches several times from Lavender cardstock, as well as from matte silver cardstock. The edges of the lavender leaves were ink blended with some Iris ink for some depth and dimension.

I began the assembly by arranging the flowers and securing the purple leaves first and then the silver leaves, just slightly offset so that you could get a glimpse of everything. The flowers were secured with foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment was stamped onto the same plum cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using silver embossing powder. It was trimmed out several times, adhered together and then secured to the card front. Because the Budding Branches have spaces for “buds,” I always like adding embellishments there. I added purple crystals to the purple “buds” and matte silver pearls to the silver “buds” to finish up.

That does it for this beauty! When I showed my friend this card, her reply was, “those flowers are glowing,” hence the name of the post! I thought this was a really gorgeous color combination and enjoy putting this card together. Don’t forget to check out the entire Shine On release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
