Bold Sunflower Card Duo - Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness Release

Good morning! Today I've got some bold and bright cards using more of the NEW Every Happiness release from Simon Says Stamp - and I'm using that same amazing sunflower layering stamp that I shared a project with last week. This time I switched up the stem colors, and made a set of cards instead of a 3D project.


I stamped a couple of the blooms from the beautiful Sunflower Meadow layering set with the same Butter, Zest, Honey, and Allspice for the bloom, then switched things up and stamped the stems with Cadette ink. I just love yellow and blue together! For the background, I used some Honey cardstock with the gorgeous new Bedazzled embossing folder, then layered up a couple of the new Stitched Arches dies cut from white and Starlight cardstock. I used sentiments from the set, stamped in black, wrapped some white twine around the entire cards and tied in a bow, then finished off with a few Dazzling Sunbeam gems for sparkle! Here are more photos of this finished set:

Twirl-Worthy Birthday - Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness Release

Good morning! I have another card to share today using the NEW Every Happiness release from Simon Says Stamp. It's full of happy pastels and playful images, and an adorable punny sentiment as well!


I started off by die cutting one of the Petal Point Frames from Sea Glass cardstock - I often die cut pretty frames like this from white and layer over colored cardstock, but this time I reversed it, and I really love how it looks! Need to remember to do that more often! I then die cut 3 of the circles from Artful Palette Christmas set using Lemon Chiffon, Cotton Candy, and Green Apple cardstocks. I stamped 3 images from Easy Breezy and heat embossed with clear powder for a touch of shine, then layered all the die cut pieces and image with thin foam adhesive for lots of dimension. I stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the same set, trimmed it into a thin strip, and added it as well. Finished off with a few coordinating Dazzling gems in Butter, Bubblegum, and Sprout! Here's a closer look:

Whimsical Woodlands Cards - Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness Release

 Good morning! I'm back today with some sweet and simple layered up cards using more of the BRAND NEW Every Happiness release from Simon Says Stamp. I love detailed image with simple stamping, and layered up on sweet pattern paper helps make them pop even a little more. And these images couldn't be sweeter, could they?!?


I started off by choosing two images from adorable Woodland Friends set, and stamping them on the smooth side of the cute Textured Colored Cardstock that released a little while back. I heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for some extra shine, then die cut them out. I die cut one of the new Petal Point Frames from white cardstock, then pulled out some Lawn Fawn Bitsy Blooms pattern paper to layer up, cutting one pattern with the new Chunky Ovals, and using one trimmed to fit my A2 cardbases. Sentiments were also heat embossed, and I used foam adhesive to layer each card together. Finished off with some Dazzling Gems in Sprout and Butter to coordinate with each card! Here is a closer look at this duo:

Floral Arches Birthday Cards - Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness Release

Good morning! I have more inspiration to share with the BRAND NEW Every Happiness release from Simon Says Stamp - today a set of soft and dreamy floral birthday cards! I'm always a sucker for pretty arches, and adding stitching to this new set makes them even more amazing. Paired with lovely stamp layered florals?!? Perfection!


For these cards, I started by cutting a window in A2 panels of Starlight cardstock using one of the new A2 Stitched Arches dies. I stamped and layered up a few of the new Forest Forage in Summer set using Honey, Blush, Ballerina, Cookie, and Sprout inks to tuck into the arches. Before adhering them all together, I blended some Butter and Cheeky inks each on one cardbase to add a bit of color behind them. Then I tucked and arranged, adding liquid glue to adhere, and fluffing up each piece of foliage for tiny bits of dimension. The small sentiments are from that same set, and the larger birthday sentiment is from another new set - Daisy Frame - that has so many perfect sentiments in a stunning font! I finished off with a few coordinating Butter and Bubblegum Dazzling Gems. Here are more photos of these soft and pretty cards:

Lovely Lemon Shaped Card - Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness Release

Good evening! I'm super excited for the gorgeous BRAND NEW Every Happiness release from Simon Says Stamp, and kicking it off with a soft and sweet shaped card! I adore lemons, and this stunning set that is part of the new release not only includes a stamp and die, but stencils for coloring! Could it get any better?!? And this design just felt meant for a shaped card design - I love how it came out!


I started off by stamping the image from Squeeze You in Latte ink, then leaving it lined up in my MISTI to restamp afterwards, I moved on to ink blending the image. I used Butter, Zest, and Honey for the lemons, and Spring, Dublin, and Lucky for the greenery. A bit of White Pigment ink was perfect for the inside of the lemon slice to soften it up, Cheeky for the flowers, and then some Cappuccino took care of the branch color. Once it was all ink blended, I put it back in my MISTI and restamped over with the same Latte ink. I thought about doing black ink, but I loved how soft it looked, so I decided to stick with this. Restamping helped crisp up all those details though! I created a shaped card with the previously released Chunky Scalloped Ovals from white cardstock paired with the new Chunky Ovals dies scored and adhered for the back of the card (scroll down a couple photos to see that), and also a panel of Cream cardstock for the front. I love how these dies work together! I added the images and stamped sentiment, tied a little white twine bow, some white gel pen accents, then embellished with a few Clear Dazzling Gems to finish it off! Here are more photos of all the details:
