Simon Says Stamp Happy and Joyful Release

Hey everyone. It’s time for the Simon Says Stamp Happy and Joyful release. It’s an amazing release and I have a quick card to share with you. The stamp set I’m using is the new Simon Says Stamp Lisianthus stamp. Isn’t this flower beautiful! As soon as I had this stamp in my hands I knew I wanted to watercolor this image.

To begin, I heat embossed the image onto watercolor paper. Next it was time to add color. My watercolor today is from a cute shop on Etsy called IUILE. I used her watercolors to color my Hero Arts MMH kit a few months back. You can take a peek at it here.  The colors are just so gorgeous. For just a touch more of shimmer, I incorporated some new watercolors I purchased from Amazon. (Disclaimer: I REALLY struggled with these watercolors on their own however I will try again to see if I can get the hang of them.)

Once I had everything watercolored, I stamped a birthday sentiment from the set. I LOVE how large these sentiments are in the kit. Plus you get a variety of fonts and that’s a total bonus!

Adhering this panel to a black layering paper, it really made the flower bloom. Onto a white card base it went and this card was done.

I hope you score some really great products from the Simon Says Stamp Happy and Joyful release. You can also check out some of my other cards using Simon Says Stamp products by clicking the link. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

 

Alcohol Ink Valentine’s Day Card: Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 5

Hey everyone. We are to the final day of the Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2022. After watching a video by Tim Holtz I was inspired to pull out my alcohol pearl inks and play. And I’m so glad I did because the cards I created came out so pretty!  Let’s dive into the cards.

 

In the tutorial you will see how easy it was to create these gorgeous alcohol peal ink backgrounds. Remember, when you are playing or creating with alcohol inks just have fun. It takes practice to really learn how the inks will move so the more you use them the better you will understand how it flows.

 

 

The clean and simply style of these cards really make me happy. They were super easy to create and I will now leave my inks out more often to just create with no card design in mind.

 

Using that gorgeous Stylized Heart from Simon Says Stamp, pulls all this gorgeousness together.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have enjoyed the series this year. See you back here soon.


Simon Says Stamp Stitching Heart Die

Hey everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using the new Simon Says Stamp Stitching Heart die. I really love getting into stitching more and more so this die was perfect for just that.

 

The die makes tiny little piercings in your card panel however, using a embroidery needle I was able to make them a little bigger so I could stitch along the lines to make complete my heart design.

 

I paired it with Matte Gold Cardstock from Simon Says Stamp and Pitch Black Cardstock from Hero Arts.

I truly LOVE the simplicity of this card. The sentiment came from the For My Sweet stamp set from Simon Says stamp and the gold mate pearls are from Trinity Stamps.  Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back heres soon.

Simon Says Stamp Handmade Holiday Release

Hey everyone. This morning I’m sharing a card using a new product from the Handmade Holiday Release from Simon Say Stamp. My card is featuring the Holly Branch Embossing Folder. WOW this embossing folder is stunning.

To create this gorgeous background I first spritzed a piece of white cardstock with Rangers Distress Mica Spray. Next I dried the cardstock with my heat tool until all the moisture was out of the paper. Pulling out my embossing folder, I placed the paper inside with the embossed side facing the paper and ran it through my die cutting machine.

 

Since I had not played with my Nuvo Mousse in a very long time, I decided to buff it over the embossed paper to give it an aged look. Oh the shine on this card is incredible in real life!

 

I used my R39 Copic marker to color over the berry and finished the card off with the Simon Says Stamp Large Joy die cut!

 

This was an incredibly easy card to make. You can use different colors of mica spray and the Nuvo mouse! Make sure to swing back by here at 1:00pm EST today for the next tutorial for the Holiday Card Series 2021. See ya then.
