Simon Says Stamp Welcome Baby

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s post is featuring the new Duck Trio from Simon’s latest release, You Are My Favorite. I do want to note that I used a sentiment die cut that is no longer available, so I will link to something similar in the list below. Let’s get into the details!

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

I began this project by die cutting the Duck Trio from Neenah 110lb, black and yellow cardstock. Once those were cut, I assembled the ducks and set them aside while I worked on the other elements of the card.

I die cut a background panel using the Nested Postage Labels & Tag and splattered that with black ink. The sentiment, which is no longer available, was die cut once from black glossy cardstock and three times from regular black, and adhered together for a stacked sentiment.

The sentiment was adhered to the background panel, trimming off the ends, while the ducks were adhered using foam strips for added dimension. Everything was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it! My card was made into a baby card, but really, any sentiment of your choosing would work well too! Don’t forget to check out the entire You Are My Favorite release over on Simon’s website! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Welcome Baby

Hello Beautiful Release

The Simon Says Stamp Hello Beautiful release is amazing, and I’m loving my Welcome die! I really can’t stop playing with it! I rarely, and I mean rarely, ever make baby cards, but I think these turned out super cute!

I ended up making two baby cards, because you know, I wanted one in pink and one in blue! As you can see, both cards are made exactly the same way, so I’m only going through making one card. So what are the details? Lemme tell you! First off, it’s a lot of die cutting, make no mistake about that! I began by cutting a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock using the SSS Detail Petal Plate. Actually, all of the die cutting used is Neenah 110lb, except for the pink and blue leaves. Moving on .. I die cut the Etched Eucalyptus Wreath twice, and the Detail Elm Leaves four times from pink or blue cardstock in my stash. I used the SSS Rounded Alphabet Small to cut the letters for Baby, and I cut those two times each.

See what I mean? A lot of die cutting! I adhered the four Welcome die cuts together using Craft Tacky Glue, and the two letters for Baby. Once I figured out the placement of the Etched Eucalyptus Wreath, I glued those two together using only four points. I wanted to be able to tuck the Detail Elm Leaves in the nooks and crannies of the wreath.

Of the Detail Elm Leaves cut, I used the smaller leaf and the medium leaf. While my wreath was lying on top of my card panel, I figured out the placement of the medium Elm leaf and glued those underneath the wreath. I then adhered the wreath to the card panel with Craft Tacky Glue using only four points again. I didn’t want anything on this project adhered flat.

I placed a small amount of glue on the smaller Elm leaf and tucked those into the wreath. I then adhered the letters for Baby inside the wreath, towards the bottom. Cutting four of the Welcome die might seem a bit like overkill, but I wanted it to be sturdy, because the Welcome is only adhered to the wreath at the letters E and M.

To finish, I adhered some pink sequins from the SSS Strawberry Shortcake pack to the pink card, and some sequins from the SSS Moonshine Confetti pack to the blue card. And my last step was to adhere my card panel to my card base, which is Neenah Classic Crest 110lb, using 3M Foam Tape.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this project, and hopefully, it inspires you to get crafty! Do you have any favorites from the Hello Beautiful release? I’d love to know what they are!

Stay awesome!
