Pattern Paper Home Card - Simon Says Stamp

  Good morning! Today I'm sharing a card featuring pattern paper and a fun newer stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. I love the bold primary colors together!

I chose some pattern papers with neutral designs from the Carta Bella Mercantile 6x6 paper pad, and white heat embossed different houses from the No Place Like Home stamp set. I die cut each one, and then arranged them on my white cardbase with a mix of foam adhesive and liquid glue, and stamped the sentiment and additional images in the open space. I rounded off the top right corner, added a thin strip of one of the pattern papers on the left side, and finished off with a few coordinating enamel dots sprinkled around! Here are more photos of this card:

Felt Stitched Chicken - Spellbinders

Hello! Dropping by with something a little different today! I recently got some fun dies designed  from Spellbinders to play with, and the timing couldn't have been better, since I also had recently ordered a pack of felt to play with! 

The die I used was called Felt Cozy Cluck - and I used the Trend Collection of felt - love these warm colors! I stitched it together with white embroidery floss using a mix of two different stitches, and added a bit of polyester stuffing I happened to have on hand from many years ago. This made it a cute little plushy! I glued the beak on, and added wiggly eyes for fun as well. Finished off with a wrap of Ivory jute string, and added a bit of glue to hold the bow in place. Here is a closer look at this cute little chicken:

Spring Greetings Floral Egg Trio - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Today I'm sharing the cards that use the items leftover from yesterday's cards - although, I'm really not sure which one was the main items, and which one was the leftovers? Really, they just worked perfectly to get two complete cards sets! I'm using some recently released items from Simon Says Stamp for these cards as well.

As I already mentioned, I used the full panels of Spellbinders cardstock that were embossed with Floral Easter Egg embossing folder from yesterday's cards. I utilized the negative space from the egg I die cut for those cards as a window or focal point for my sentiment. I added some Shimmer Vellum behind the shape on my cardstock, and popped the panels up with foam adhesive. Sentiments were from Blessings at Easter, and I added some tiny branches from Winsome Branch die. Finished off with a few sparkly Trinity Stamp iridescent bubble embellishments for sparkle. Here is a closer look at the finished set:

Shiny Floral Egg Trio - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! I have a light and airy trio of cards today using some recently released items from Simon Says Stamp, and a fun technique to get a fun shiny card highlight! You can check out my Instagram HERE to see a quick process video of how I did it!

I started off by embossing the Floral Easter Eggs embossing folder from 3 colors of Spellbinders cardstock, and 3 times from Cream cardstock. I then used the included die to cut out one particular egg from the background. (Check back tomorrow to see how I put those backgrounds to use!). I then held the cut out embossed egg with reverse tweezers, smooshed the front of it directly into my clear embossing ink pad, then sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set. I did this 2-3 times to each egg to make sure it had a good coating of shine. Then, I adhered it over the cream background with a bit of foam adhesive, and wrapped some Iridescent twine around those panels, before adhering with foam adhesive to white cardsbases. Added sentiments from Reverse Thank You sentiment strips, and a few sparkly Simple Stories enamel dots to finish off! Here is a closer look at these cards:

Floral Layered Sorry Cards - Simon Says Stamp

  Good morning! I have a couple floral layered cards to share today with some supplies from Simon Says Stamp. I also have a couple cards up on the Simon Says Stamp blog today, and these cards started off with some leftovers from those cards actually! You can see those cards HERE if you want more info - I love how they came out!

The circles are what I started off with for these cards - leftover from the windows I cut in the cards shared on the SSS blog today using Basic Circles dies. I added some more pattern paper from the same Carta Bella Secret Garden paper pad for a background and used extra bits to add stripes behind the circles. I also die cut Leaf Flourish from white cardstock, and trimmed in half to tuck behind both windows. Sentiment uses I'm Sorry die, cutting the main word from Gold Pearl cardstock, then the shadow layer from white cardstock and vellum, stacking together to soften the white cardstock slightly. Secondary sentiment is from the I'm Sorry sentiments stamp set, stamped in black and trimmed to add. Finished off with a few Spellbinders Satin Gold flat sequins for some finishing sparkle! Here are more photos of these cards:

Love You Floral Circle - Simon Says Stamp

 Hello! I had a bit of time to play this weekend, and randomly started putting together a few items I had leftover from other projects, or just items that I hadn't ended up using for one reason or another. All supplies are from Simon Says Stamp, and it was super fun to give them some new life!

I started off with an embossed background using Pinnacle Hearts on white cardstock for some simple background texture. I layered together a couple of circles die cut with Basic Circles from white and black cardstock, then layered over some leftover stamped and die cut florals from Blessings at Easter. They were stamped in Zest, Apple, Amethyst, Surf, and Dublin inks. Sentiment was a mix of the top sentiment from Loving Thoughts, and the larger sentiment at the bottom from Just a Note Notes, and I matted that one in black cardstock as well. Tucked some black and white baker's twine in there, tied in a bow, and popped a dot of Nuvo Drops in Blizzard in the center of each flower, then finished off with a few Surf Dazzling gems to finish off! Here is a closer look at this finished card:
