Popping in today with a clean and simple card for Freshly Made Sketches and Color Throwdown. The inspiration photo at CTD features carrots and I almost went that route but decided to feature green more than the other two colors of tan and orange. Take a look:
I used all Simon Says Stamp products for my card. The berry stem is called Etched Berry Branch. I die cut it from bright green and kraft cardstock. I adhered them together offsetting slightly so you can just see the kraft peeking out from behind the green. The striped images are from a Simon Says Stamp set that is no longer available called Hello Darling. It was stamp in tan and orange inks. I adhered the berry stem and then added orange enamel dots to the stem. The sentiment is from another Simon Says Stamp set called Sunshine Flowers. I stamped it in tan ink and then adhered my panel to a kraft cardstock base.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Hello! I'm popping in today with a card for a couple of challenges: Sunday Stamps and the Paper Players. The challenge at the Paper Players is clean and simple with flowers so I just had to play along.
I used the color combo from Sunday Stamps to color up my Honey Bee Stamps tulip bouquet with Copic markers. I was able to use most of the Sunday Stamps color, but I did add in a little bit of blue. I hope that is okay. I used my Birch Press Pinpoint Radial plate to add interest to my background. The sentiment was stamped in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink and die cut with the matching die. I die cut the bouquet, popped it up on the background along with the sentiment. To fill in the background a little more I added lots of sparkling clear sequins.
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm guesting over on the AJVD blog today and I'm sharing a card that I made with one of their newly released floral sets. All the sets are just gorgeous! Here is a little peek:
I hope you will head over to the AJVD blog to check out my card. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
Hello everyone! I'm popping in to share two cards that I made with a die from the new Simon Says Stamp Hello Gorgeous release. SSS was so kind and sent me the fun Stained Glass Sun die to create with. You can find the full release right here. (Affiliate links used where possible. Using my links allows me to earn a small commission. Thank you for your support.)
For the first card I created a clean and simple shaker. I have some fun patterned papers that feature rainbows, suns and lots of bright colors. If you look closely at the patterned paper behind the shaker window you can see it has little suns on it! I filled my shaker with seed beads in white and silver, as well as clear and white sequins. The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Sunshine Flowers stamp set and was stamped in a fun bright yellow ink. I'm going to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge because I do love to make a shaker card!
For the second card I used more of the patterned paper and did some stenciling with stencil butter. How fun is that paper? I just love it!
For this card I decided to use the Stained Glass Sun die to create a stencil. First attempt didn't work out. With the second attempt I decided to use vellum and then used Pixie Spray. That worked better, but I created a problem for myself when I added glitter to the yellow Stencil Butter that I used. It stuck everywhere, lol! Thank goodness I had an oval die that I could use to cut out the stenciled sunburst. You can see a little bit of the glitter around the edges. I die cut the patterned paper, adhered it to a bright pink cardstock base, add the stenciled oval and the added the die cut sentiment. The sentiment was made with two different Simon Says Stamp dies: Hello and Sunshine. I'm going to add this to the challenge at Global Design Project. Their challenge is a theme one: rainbows! I think I have that covered, lol!
Make sure you check out the Hello Gorgeous release. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
All of the products used today are from the new Celebrate You collection from Spellbinders. Specifically, I used the new Splatter embossing folder, the Assorted Tags die set and a sentiment from the Celebrate You Glimmer Sentiments hot foil plates. I die cut the light teal cardstock with a Spellbinders Essentials rectangle die and then embossed it with the Splatter embossing folder. I was going to use the entire piece, but my first idea wasn't doing it for me so I decided to trim the piece down and adhere it directly to my white cardstock card base. In the Assorted Tags die set is a thin die that you can use to create a piece of twine to thread the tags on. I die cut two and adhered them to the light teal strip for a little bit of added interest. My bloggy friend, Linda, had created several different cards using both the embossed and debossed sides of cardstock. I thought it would be fun to deboss two of the tags I die cut from yellow cardstock and then foil the sentiment on the third tag. I adhered the tags as shown and then added a little twine bow to the tag with the sentiment. Like I said... super simple!
I hope you will check out the new Spellbinders release. Thanks for stopping by and having a lovely day!
