Black-Eyed Susan Style Daisy Cards - Simon Says Stamp

Hello! If you have been following along with my cards using one particular die from Simon Says Stamp, well...today I have the next installment! This time I used that same die to create another flower - this time a Black-Eyed Susan!

Once again, I love how just switching up the colors on this Tilted Daisy die made it look like something ENTIRELY different - and a few leaves again from Privet Branch die just give them an entirely different look as well! Like the last cards I shared, I used all colored cardstock from Concord & 9th Jewels and 2025 color mix, then blended ink on in Honey, Woodsy, and Artichoke to add some shading and depth. My grip mat was very helpful for that! I used Kraft cardstock for the cardbases, and added a bit of ink blending around the edges of one, and the some around the center of the other one. I grabbed a panel of Eggshell cardstock, and die cut a window using Petal Tipped Labels - then used the negative space as a window, and the die cut frame as a panel on the other card. I tucked and arranged the stems and blooms on there, then added a rounded corner on one, and a good dose of White Splatter medium for some texture. Added sentiments from Vintage Blooms, stamped in black on yellow cardstock, then heat embossed with clear powder to make them pop. Finished off with a few Dazzling Gems in clear for a touch of sparkle! Here is a closer look at these cards:

Echinacea Style Daisy Cards - Simon Says Stamp

Hello! I had so much fun with those pastel daisy cards I shared a couple days ago (you can see them HERE) - that I pulled out that same die from Simon Says Stamp, and went a little crazy over the weekend creating totally different styles with it (I'll be sharing a couple more designs this week that I created - stay tuned)! I love how that floral design is super versatile, and perfect for a variety of different floral styles. Today's cards feature one I have growing in my yard - Echinacea, also known as purple cone flower! 

I love the slightly more vintage feel these cards have, in contrast to the fresh and clean pastels with bright white daisies that I shared first! For these, I cut all the Tilted Daisy flower layers from colored cardstock, and then did a bit of ink blending on each one to add shading and depth. Cardstock was from Concord & 9th Jewels and 2025 color packs, and I used two shades of cardstock for the flower layers. I added shading with the following inks: Honey, Cabernet, Galaxy, Artichoke, and Woodsy - using my Grip Mat to hold them in place while blending. I then used some of those same ink colors to do some ink smooshing on watercolor paper to make a simple background for the flowers. I also die cut Privet Branch from the same colored cardstock, and trimmed individual leaves off to add to the stems to give them a different look. I added some splatters to the blooms with White Splatter Medium that recently released, and then added sentiments using I'm Sorry Sentiments and Bad Day Good Vibes sets. Finished off with a few Lilac Dazzling Gems for perfectly coordinating sparkle! Here is a closer look at each of these cards:

Frosty Glittery Birthday Duo - Simon Says Stamp

 Hello! Today I'm throwing it back to some older supplies from Simon Says Stamp, paired up with some glittery ombre cardstock that is so pretty! I tried it both ways, as the die cut panel, and as the backing for the die cut panel.

I started off with the Starburst Plate die, and cut it one time from one piece of the Crafter's Companion Ombre Glitter cardstock, and once from white cardstock. I then reversed which went behind each of those panels. The glitter cardstock is a little tricky to die cut, but adding a panel of bubble wrap helped it cut so much better! I added a cluster of birthday sentiments from Birthday Basics stamp set - I thought it was fun to add several sentiments instead of just one, and really let them shine! I finished off with LOTS of Dazzling Clear gems in fun starburst clusters using the pattern of the cover plate. While it took a while to adhere them down, I love the finished effect of all the sparkle! Here is a closer look at both of these cards:

Pastel Daisy Wishes - Simon Says Stamp

Hello! Today I've got a sweet trio of daisy cards to share using a couple of fun newer dies from Simon Says Stamp! I just love this new floral die, and it's especially fun on these pastel shades of cardstock!

I started off by die cutting all the layer for the the Tilted Daisies die 3 times, and assembling together the flowers. I die cut the Sweet word die 3 times from yellow cardstock, and 3 times from white cardstock, adhering them together slightly offset for a shadow effect. I then cut panels of colored cardstock, layered them with foam adhesive on white cardbases, and added my flowers and large word die. I stamped the secondary sentiment with Big Botanicals stamp set in Cheeky, Marine, and Sprout inks to coordinate with the cardbases, and then trimmed into strips with a diagonal edge to adhere under the larger sentiment. Added some coordinating Dazzling Gems in Bubblegum, Surf, and Sprout, and then some splatters using White Splatter Medium. To get a more controlled splatter effect, I used the rounded tip on my Score and Embellishment Wand to dip in and drop onto the cards. I varied the size, and tried to add them randomly - and I love the effect and how it worked! Here are more photos of this finished trio:

Graphic Painted Leaf Cards - Simon Says Stamp

  Hello! Today I'm sharing a couple of fun die cut cards with some graphic layouts and fun touches - I'm also using lots of supplies from Simon Says Stamp! 

This past week I shared a couple cards using the fun Granulating watercolors that I picked up, and these cards featured anther way I put them to use! I die cut the new Basil Leaf die a few times from watercolor cardstock, then added color with one of the options in the palette. I love how as it dried, the colors shifted and changed to get this pretty mottled look! I die cut some arches from Honey Gold satin mirror cardstock using A2 Arches die, nesting each smaller size inside the next to get a variety of different sizes of frames, all from one piece of the cardstock. I adhered those in fun arrangements on each cardbase, tucking the watercolored leaves in and trimming off any excess stem pieces. I added sentiments from Swiss Dots set, and a few Pinkfresh Iridescent Dew Drops, then rounded off one corner on each card to finish off! Here is a closer look at each of these:
