Simon Says Stamp - You Are My Favorite Release

 

Welcome to my blog and a new card for Simon Says Stamp featuring the 'Flowering Frame' stamp set which forms part of the incredible new 'You Are My Favorite' release which is available now and you should definitely check it out because there is MUCH to love.  THIS LINK will take you to all of the new products and in case you missed it last Friday, there was a livestream of the new products and designer card samples which you can view HERE.

For this card, I took an A2 panel of cardstock in a pretty pastel pink shade.  I then used Distress Oxide Ink in Lumberjack Plaid and one of the three images from the Flowering Frame stamp set and I repeatedly stamped the entire panel, turning the image this way and that until it was fully covered.

I used a white Prismacolor pencil and coloured the flowers to make them slightly pop against the pink and then I die cut using Alex Syberia Design's Nested Scalloped Frames Die Set to give it the stitched edge.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Wavy Scallop Stitches Wafer Die to give the pretty curved edge.

I took a panel of white cardstock and used the same nested scalloped die to give it the same finish.  I popped the panel in my Misti and stamped the small floral image at the bottom in red and stamped the cursive 'thank you' sentiment in black.

The coloured panel was backed with white craft foam and glued to the white panel which in turn was glued to a card base.

In case you missed it back on April 24th, here is the first card I shared using the Flowering Frame stamp set.  Thank you for stopping by for the details today, I hope you enjoyed it.  Shop the new release and much, much more and happy crafting friends!

Alex Syberia Designs BetterPress Release Hop and Giveaway

Thank you for navigating to my blog today from the Alex Syberia Designs Instagram Hop celebrating their new BetterPress Release Hop and Giveaway.

To create this card I used the following Alex Syberia Designs products:-

Abstract Floral Background Press Plate

Classic Sentiments Press Plate

Nested Scalloped Frames Die Set

Sweet Friend

Sweet Friend Die

I created an A2 white panel of cardstock and die cut using the largest nested die from the Scalloped Frames Die Set.  I then took a second white panel and using some pink Spellbinders foil, I used my Glimmer machine and the Abstract Floral Background Press Plate and foiled the smaller panel with the pink floral design and then I reduced it's size by using a smaller die from the Scalloped Frames Die Set to die cut it.  This panel was backed with white craft foam and applied to the A2 white panel and then this was glued to my card base.  

I used the Classic Sentiments Press Plate and black foil to produce the 'Celebrate' sentiment and the xoxo was borrow from the Sweet Friend stamp set.

I then stamped the images I was wanting from Sweet Friend and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Mice - E44, E31, E41, E40

Blush and Ears - RV55, RV63, RV52, RV00

Flowers - Y28, Y26, Y21, RV55, RV00

I highlighted their blushing cheeks and die cut and then I backed images and sentiments with foam tape and applied them to the pretty foiled background

A few sparkling clear sequins completed the project.

 

Alex Syberia Designs - New Release Instagram Hop

Thank you for joining me on my blog today where I have the details for this new card for Alex Syberia Designs which I'm featuring on the Instagram hop today showcasing the new release and with the design team and guests participating.  Join the hop by visiting my Instagram post for this card found here.

I created this card by starting with the layered cardstock mats.  I selected some patterned cardstock from my stash and used that to inform the colours for the whole card.  I matted up the patterned panel to a slightly larger dark green panel and this in turn was glued to an A6 card base and you can see a little white around the the outside behind the green.  I used the Nested Scalloped Frames Die Set  to create the feature panel which I ink blended with a little Blush ink by The Stamp Market.  I glued this to the other mats.

Choosing toning cardstock colours, I die cut the different components of the new 'Whimsy Blooms Bouquet Die Set'.  I assembled the flowers and then gathered the stems together and glued them together at the bottom.  I added glue in a few areas to the back of the bouquet and adhered the whole bunch to the blended background.  I die cut the bow from kraft cardstock and adhered it right where all the stems come together.

To finish the card I used the Friend Die to create the main part of the sentiment, die cutting white and gold cardstock and then adhering in position.  I then chose the 'Happy Birthday To You' sentiment phrase from the Celebration Sentiments and this was added with foam tape to keep up with the dimension on this card.  Anytime you need to build a bouquet this new die set has you covered!

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  I'll be back on Saturday with a new card for Alex Syberia Designs which also features new stamps from the release.
