Simon Says Stamp - Happy Camper Release

Hello friends!  Today I have a new card for Simon Says Stamp that features products from their new and available for purchase 'Happy Camper Release'.   This link will take you to all of the new offerings, so DO check them out!  

This card uses the new Delicate Blossoms stamp set together with the formerly released Bundle of Stitched Shapes Die and Stitched Ovals Die.

I took a white A2 panel of cardstock and stamped the large Delicate Blossoms image in black ink.  I used my Misti for this in order to be able to repeat stamp for a flawless image.

I coloured the background and blooms only with Copic markers and chose to not colour any of the leaves at all.  I then splattered white acrylic paint across it, making sure to spritz it very finely.

I used the large die from the Bundle of Shapes Die.  With the skinny outside cut, I glued that to the card base directly and with the main centre panel I backed that with white craft foam and and adhered to the card base.

To complete the card I die cut the white oval and stamped the Thinking Of You sentiment and this was applied to the floral background with foam tape.

A few little sparkling accents were adhered for a pretty finishing touch.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Simon Says Stamp - Happy Camper Release

Welcome to my blog and my second card for Simon Says Stamp's 'Happy Camper Release' which is available for purchase NOW!

My card today features the new Mid Century Ethereal Embossing Folder, Fancy Thank You Die and Fun Bird Die.  I have also incorporated into my design the Stitched Circles Die and Thoughtful Message (stamp set).

I took an A2 panel of kraft cardstock and using the new embossing folder to create the wonder 3D pattern.  I adhered this panel to a larger white card base and set it to one side.

I used the Stitched Circles Die to create two hoops that I would nestle my birds in.  I secured ribbon to them and applied them to the card with foam tape.

I die cut the 'Fun Bird' twice and ink blended all of the parts before adhering it together and securing with foam tape within each hoop.

Next, I grabbed the new Fancy Thank You die.  This comes in two parts.  The shadow I die cut in white and with the actual thank you words, I ink blended using the same hues used in creating the birds.  I adhered the words to the white shadow background and adhered with more foam tape.

For the finishing touches I came in with a metallic gel pen and dotted in some interest on the birds then I used a white gel pen to add further interest in the form of highlights in both the background, birds and sentiment.

To complete the card I stamped the 'for everything' sentiment on a strip and applied below the big 'thank you' and I adhered a few sparkling clear sequins throughout the scene.

I appreciate you stopping by to read my blog today.  If you missed my first release card yesterday please continue to scroll and you'll find it directly under this post.  Thank you!  Happy shopping!

 

Simon Says Stamp - Happy Camper Release

 

Hello and welcome to my blog and a brand new release from Simon Says Stamp.  This is the Happy Camper release and you use THIS LINK to take you to their website and view the entire collection.

My first card for this release features the Jenoblade illustrated stamp set called 'Cute Campers' together with the 'Simple Stars Stencil'.  I have also incorporated the use of the always useful 'Postage Stamp Edge Frames Die'.

I used the stencil on white cardstock and used blue ink and then used the stencil again on blue cardstock and used white pigment ink to create the background panels.

I used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames Die to die cut the blue panel and I also used the same size die to cut a kraft panel to ground the scene I was about to create.

I stamped the 'Cute Campers' images with black ink and coloured the images with Copic markers.  I used a white gel pen to add blooms to the shrubs behind the campground and to decorate the scarf along with other highlights.  Images were fussy cut and applied with foam tape.  The decorative panel was backed with white craft foam and applied to the white/blue star panel.

I stamped and applied the sentiment strip and with that this sweet card was complete.

Enjoy shopping the new release - available NOW!

Alex Syberia Design - New Release Instagram Hop Day!

 

Welcome to my blog!  I hope you have navigated your way here today from my Instagram profile where the Alex Syberia Designs Design Team are enjoying a hop and giveaway event filled with amazing inspiration from all of the designers!

To make this flamboyant card I have used:-

Summer Flower Press Plate (NEW!)

Essential Sentiments Press Plates (NEW!)

To create the card I used my hot foil machine not the BetterPress platform.  I used gold foil for both the flower and the sentiment.  I also die cut the sentiment with the dies included in the Essential Sentiments set.

Once foiled I coloured the flower image using the following Copic markers:-

Petals - E44, YR24, Y15, E50

Flower Centre - E49, E77, E44, E43, E41

I trimmed the panel down just a little, I wrapped a strip of heavyweight vellum around it and I backed the whole panel with white craft foam and adhered to a sturdy A2 white card base.

The simple finishing touch was to apply the sentiment which I added with foam tape to continue the dimension.

I absolutely LOVE this incredible Summer Flower, it really packs a punch! Release is available now, shop until you drop!

My card today has used the following products:-

Peony Blossoms BetterPress Plates (NEW!)

Essential Sentiments Press Plate (NEW!)

Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set

I used a die from the Good Day die set to create a smaller than A2 white panel with a decorative edge.  I glued this panel to a white A2 card base.

I hot foiled using the Peony Blossoms press plate instead of using the BetterPress (remember, press plates do both)!  I used gold foil and then used Copic markers in RV04, RV02, RV00, RV000, Y00 and Y000 to colour the blooms, inspired by some peonies in our own garden.  Leaves were coloured with YG67, YG13 and YG11.

I fussy cut the image and backed it with foam tape and applied to the white background.

I hot foiled the Essential Sentiments all in one go so that I had this sentiment and all of the others for future projects.  I used a holographic gold for a little dazzle to do this and the set comes with a coordinating die ... who doesn't like die cutting their sentiments beautifully?  I applied the sentiment with more foam tape and a few flat cup gold sequins were adhered to complete the floral design.

I'll be back on Friday July 4th with a second card using products from the release.  The Design Team will be holding an Instagram Hop that day with lots of inspiration.

Simon Says Stamp - Friend Like You

 

I have my third card to share with you today featuring products from the incredible Friend Like You release by Simon Says Stamp.  This card focusses on the Wildflower Cuttings stamp set which I have combined with Simon's Postage Stamp Edge Frames die and their Pawsitively Perfect Craft Glue (shown in photos).

I started with a minty green panel of cardstock and I used a dark green ink to repeatedly stamp one of the larger stem images from the Wildflower Cuttings stamp set.  I adhered this to a white card base using the Pawsitively Perfect Craft Glue.

I used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames die in two sizes to create a vellum panel and then a white panel.

On the white panel I stamped the stem in vase image from Wildflower Cuttings and I coloured it with Copic markers.  I glued the two panels together and backed them with white craft foam and adhered to the background.

To complete the card in a simple way I stamped a sentiment from Wildflower Cuttings on a sentiment strip and I added it with dimensional foam tape.  Lastly, I used the Pawsitively Perfect Craft Glue to adhere some tiny sparkling clear sequins.  This glue does everything and dries clear and should be a staple in your craft room.

I appreciate you coming by my blog today and I wish you a wonderful week ahead.
