Simon Says Stamp Lots of Welcome

Hello Beautiful Release

Hey! Hey! Hey! How’s it going? Today I’m sharing a Welcome Home card featuring the new Welcome die from Simon Says Stamp’s new release Hello Beautifu!

Let’s jump right into it! I began by cutting a panel of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock using the PinkFresh Studio Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die, and then I die cut my SSS Welcome sentiment eight times. While I was cutting, I went ahead and cut the house from the SSS Village die from black cardstock in my stash.

I centered up my first Welcome die cut at the bottom of my panel and adhered it using Craft Tacky Glue. Working around the tall part of the “L”, I started adhering the other Welcome sentiments. Once the Welcome sentiment was adhered, I would trim off the rest of the sentiment and add it to the other side of the “L.” Hopefully that makes more sense as you look at the pics.

Taking a look at the row just above the bottom Welcome .. I positioned the next Welcome just to the right of the tall part of the “L.” Then, I trimmed off the excess on the right side of the panel and added it to the same row on the left side of the “L.” Maybe that makes more sense! Anyhoo, I continued that pattern until I reached the top of the panel.

I adhered the black house somewhat in the center using 3M Foam Tape, and positioned the letters for HOME just below that. These letters are from PinkFresh Studio and they are the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers from their Let’s Stay Home Collection. Super cute!

For the final steps, I added a Heart-Fetti Shape from Doodlebug Designs to the house, I adhered my card panel to a black panel just slightly larger for some contrast, because I like my contrast, and I adhered those to my card base, which is Neenah Classic Crest 100lb cardstock.

I enjoyed the power of repetition on this card! A simple sentiment made a big visual impact just by repeating the pattern!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this project and it gives you some inspiration to try some repetitive elements on your projects. Don’t forget to check out the new SSS Hello Beautiful release!

Stay awesome!

Simon Says Stamp Welcome to the Neighborhood

Hello Beautiful Release

Hello Friends! Isn’t the new Hello Beautiful release gorgeous? There’s literally something for everyone! I’m super excited to be sharing the Welcome die cut with you! I had a ton of fun creating this card and thought that it turned out kinda cute!

To begin, I cut an A2 card panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80lb, and ink blended Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn using the SSS Clouds for Days stencil. Unfortunately, the cloud detail doesn’t really show in the pics. Anyhoo, moving on .. Next I stamped the houses from the Home Sweet Home set in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and embossed it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. I actually stamped and embossed the houses twice because I was pretty sure that I was going to need two strips of houses to cover my card panel. I also stamped my little sub-sentiment with VersaMark Ink on black cardstock and embossed with SSS Detail White Embossing Powder.

Now that everything is stamped, it’s time to get coloring all of my cute little houses. The Copic Markers used were: YG03, YG13, YG17, YG67, N0, N2, N3, N4, RV00, RV02, RV10, RV11, E04, E70, E71, E74, Y08, Y15, B34, B41, B45, B91, B93 and BV23. I know that’s a lot of markers, but I wanted all the houses to be unique!

Now for some die cutting! I used the Home Sweet Home coordinating die to cut out the houses, and I used the SSS Sentiment Labels Die to cut my sub-sentiment. On a side note, I use that Sentiment Labels Die ALL THE TIME! I wasn’t sure that I would, but it’s been a great investment! Back to it .. I die cut the Welcome sentiment three times from black cardstock and adhered those together using Craft Tacky Glue, and I cut the shadow once from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and adhered those together.

Now for the hard part! Figuring out the placement of everything! I say hard part only because I knew that I was going to be cutting my little strips of houses, and I REALLY didn’t want to mess those up .. that coloring took me quite a bit of time! Even after I had figured everything out, I was STILL nervous about cutting my houses!

As you can see from the pics, I ended up with four rows of houses around my sentiments. The bottom and two top rows of houses were adhered to my card panel using 3M Foam Tape. The row above my sentiment was adhered directly to the panel with glue, as well as the Welcome sentiment. I did however, pop my sub-sentiment up with foam tape because dimension is life!

To finish up my card, I adhered my card panel to a black panel for some contrast, and I adhered those to my card base, which is Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock. No card is complete without some bling, am I right?! I added some green jewels from the PinkFresh Studio Jewels Mix.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this project, and I hope you’ll check out this new release! You can catch the whole release HERE. Also, don’t forget to check out #ssshellobeautiful over on Instagram for lots of inspiration from the team! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp Welcome Home

Hello Beautiful Release

Hello! Hello! I’m back with another card featuring the new Welcome die cut from the brand spanking new SSS Hello Beautiful release! What are your favorites of the release? You can check out the whole release HERE.

Alright, let’s get into the deets of this card. I first cut a white card panel from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock using the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles from PinkFresh Studio. I then pulled out my Simple Strips die from Pretty Pink Posh and got to die cutting a bunch of strips from various colored cardstocks in my stash. I think most of these are SSS cardstock, but I can’t be sure on that!

While I was over die cutting, I went ahead and cut my Welcome sentiment four times and the houses from the SSS Village set once from Neenah Classic Crest 110lb. I then used some tape runner on a thin piece of white paper and began adhering my strips to that. If we’re being honest here, I messed up my rainbow and then just had to mix them up .. you know, to look like it was on purpose!

Once I thought I had enough strips, I started playing with the layout on my card panel and finally decided on the layout that you can see here in the pics. Before I proceeded any further, some black splatter needed to happen .. Just a little to pull all of the black elements together. I glued down my little panel of strips to my card panel using Craft Tacky Glue, and adhered all four of my Welcome die cuts together and then adhered that to the bottom of my strip panel. I added 3M Foam Tape to the backs of the houses and positioned those just above my main sentiment.

So I knew that I wanted this card to say Welcome Home, but I searched and searched for a “home” word stamp to no avail. What was I to do? To solve this dilemma, I busted out the handy, dandy label maker! I made my tiny label and positioned it next to the house, and I was pleased with the way it looked. Then I decided that I wanted a cute little sub-sentiment, so I scoured through my bajillion Reverse Sentiment Strips and settled on this one. I trimmed it using the SSS Sentiment Labels die and popped it up on some foam tape. I adhered my card panel to a black panel of cardstock for some contrast and adhered all of that to my card base, which is Neenah Classic Crest 110lb.

There you have it! I enjoyed this card because I really like working with strips, and it came out bright and fun! I hope you enjoyed this project and that it inspires your creative juices! Don’t forget to check out the Hello Beautiful release, and definitely check out #ssshellobeautiful over on Instagram! That’s where you’ll find tons of inspiration!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Simon Says Stamp Welcome Floral Frame

Hello Beautiful Release

Welcome Back! Get it ..Welcome? Yeah, that was cheesy, I know! I just love all of the detail and elements of this card! I’m so glad that you stopped by to check it out!

Now for the deets! I started by stamping the flowers from the SSS Best Friend Ever set with VersaMark ink on Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock and embossing it with Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder. Then I got to coloring with my Copic Markers! The colors I used are: YG03, YG13, YG17, RV00, RV10, RV11 and Y11.

Once the coloring was done, it was time to do some die cutting. I used the SSS Best Friend Ever Die set to cut the flowers. I cut the Welcome die once from gold cardstock from my stash and four times from Neenah 110lb. I also used the 110lb to cut the Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackable frame from Lawn Fawn and the SSS Simple Stem four times.

I needed something behind the frame that would work well with my flowers. I opted for this piece of beautiful, blue plaid paper from PinkFresh Studio, which is in their My Favorite Story Collection. I trimmed it down and mounted it behind my frame using 3M Foam Tape. Before I adhered the flowers with foam tape, I decided the placement for the SSS Simple Stem and adhered those to the blue panel with Craft Tacky Glue.

This card is almost done!! I adhered all of my layers of the Welcome die together using Craft Tacky Glue. Remember that was four layers out of Neenah 110lb cardstock and once out of gold cardstock! That’s a crazy amount, but I needed it to be sturdy, because the Welcome sentiment is only attached to the frame at the letters W and E.

Just look at that dimension!! Love, love, love it! As always, I had to add some blingy sequins to finish it up.

Well, there you have it! My floral welcome card showcasing the new Welcome die from the Simon Says Stamp HELLO BEAUTIFUL release. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you found some inspiration to get crafty!

Stay awesome!
