Simon Says Stamp November 2018 Card Kit | Inspired by Jennifer Mcguire Card + GIVEAWAY

Creative blocks can be a pain to work through. I tend to get them when I've been away from my supplies for several days but it can happen anytime. Nothing is worse than when you have time to create and you sit and stare at your supplies! Creative blocks happen to everyone and one of my favorite ways to get past them is to create a card based on another card. Most of the time I will make a card based on one of my past cards that I love. It's always a good way of working through a block. Another way is to create a card inspired by a friend or designer. Today I wanted to share a card created using a design that my friend, Jennifer McGuire, made awhile back (HERE). Please remember whenever you create a card lifted or inspired by another designer that you give credit to that designer and that you ask permission to share. :) I'm sharing a single design here today but if you want to see lots and lots of amazing alcohol lift ink designs, please be sure to check out Jennifer's blog post HERE. Thanks Jennifer!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this inspired by Jennifer card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

This card was created with components from the November 2018 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit and a few supplies from my stash!

For the alcohol inked background I applied Valencia, Butterscotch, Honeycomb, Terra Cotta, and Gold Mixative Alcohol Inks to Yupo Cardstock, adding Blending Solution as needed and let the inks dry completely. Leaves from the Thanks and Leaves Stamp Set were stamped over the background with Alcohol Lift Ink for the beautiful, yet subtle fall leaves background.

A frame was die cut from some of the Ivory Cardstock included in the kit using the Repeating Circles Die.

The Thankful Die was die cut from Gold Glitter Cardstock and adhered to an Ivory Cardstock shadow die cut. The sentiment was adhered with foam adhesive. Another greeting from the Thanks and Leaves Stamp Set was stamped on Orange Peel Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat set with Antique Gold Embossing Powder before being trimmed into a thin strip and adhered with foam adhesive.

Butterflies Adornments from the kit were inked with Alcohol Inks and once dry adhered to the card with foam adhesive.

The design was finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Copper Penny and Pale Gold.

Simon Says Stamp November 2018 Card Kit | Leaves Backgrounds Cards

Hello. I'm over on the Simon Says Stamp blog today with a set of simple embossed leaves backgrounds cards featuring the Simon Says Stamp November Card Kit. The gorgeous Thanks and Leaves Stamp Set included in the kit is perfect for creating fall and Thanksgiving themed cards!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of these leaves backgrounds fall-themed cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

The cardstock and stamp set from the kit were used for this trio of fall-themed cards below. The Distress Oxide Inks and Nuvo Crystal Drops are from my stash.

Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder was used to emboss a sentiment and leaves from the Thanks and Leaves Stamp Set. Distress Oxide Inks in Aged Mahogany and Fired Brick were applied over the Orange Peel Cardstock for depth and dimension. A Distress Sprayer was spritzed over the background and blotted dry with a paper towel. The oxidation allows the original color of the cardstock to show though the inking. An additional sentiment from the Thanks and Leaves Stamp Set was stamped on the Desert Storm Cardstock and embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder before being trimmed into a thin strip and adhered to the background with foam adhesive.

Nuvo Crystal Drops in Auburn Pearl, Copper Penny, Autumn Red, and Gloss White were added to the design.

Hero Arts Brass Embossing Powder was used on the Green Leaf Cardstock for my second card. Distress Oxide Inks in Forest Moss and Gathered Twigs were applied over the cardstock. Like the first card a Distress Sprayer was spritzed over the background and blotted dry with a paper towel. The oxidation allows the original color of the cardstock to show though the inking. An additional sentiment from the Thanks and Leaves Stamp Set was stamped on the Desert Storm Cardstock and embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder before being trimmed into a thin strip and adhered to the background with foam adhesive.

Nuvo Crystal Drops in Auburn Pearl, Copper Penny, Bottle Green, and Gloss White were added to the design.

My final card share today featuring Hero Arts Copper Embossing Powder embossed images on Desert Storm Cardstock. Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Inks were applied over the Desert Storm Cardstock and finished exactly like the first two cards.

Nuvo Crystal Drops in Auburn Pearl, Copper Penny, Autumn Red, and Gloss White were added to the design.

Watch the creation of these three die cut truck cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

While you can create cards for all the seasons with the Truckin' Through the Seasons Large Die of the Month Club Kit Dies, I made three today: a Christmas card, a fall/Thanksgiving card, and a summertime vacation card. Y'all, I couldn't love this die set more. Truly. How absolutely adorable is this truck?!!!!! I want to make all the seasonal cards with it!

As summer is giving way to autumn here in the midwest USA I decided to create one last summer-themed card with this awesome beach themed truck. That gorgeous beachy patterned paper? That is from the Spellbinders October Card Kit of the Month. I knew I wanted to keep the focus on the die cut truck but still be really intentional with my paper choices to help "tell the story". 

Sentiments from the Simon Says Stamp Vacation Time Stamp Set were stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embosses with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and Gold Embossing Powder.

The strip was trimmed to 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and matted on a glitter cardstock (this one is from the Hero Arts October Card Kit of the Month) before being adhered to a white top fold card base as shown.

The truck dies and accessories were die cut from regular cardstocks, mirror cardstocks, assembled as shown, and the beachball was finished with a layer of Glossy Accents.

The patterned paper for the Christmas truckin' card are also from the Spellbinders October Card Kit of the Month. I love how this one looks like a snowy, winter scene!

Sentiments from the Simon Says Stamp Peace On Earth Stamp Set were stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embosses with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and Gold Embossing Powder.

The strip was trimmed to 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and matted on a glitter cardstock (this one is from the Lawn Fawn Holiday Sparkle collection) before being adhered to a white top fold card base as shown.

The truck dies and accessories were die cut from regular cardstocks, mirror cardstocks, and assembled as shown. 

The patterned paper for the fall/Thanksgiving truckin' card are also from the Spellbinders October Card Kit of the Month. The soft orange of this pattern compliments the orange/white pumpkins and navy truck!

Sentiments from the Simon Says Stamp Autumn Greetings Stamp Set and Tiny Words Stamp Set were stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embosses with Hero Arts Copper Embossing Powder.

The strip was trimmed to 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and matted on a mirror cardstock (this one is from the Spellbinders October Card Kit of the Month) before being adhered to a white top fold card base as shown.

The truck dies and accessories were die cut from regular cardstocks, mirror cardstocks, and assembled as shown. 

Make sure to check back soon for more die cutting ideas using the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club Kit Dies, Give Thanks and also the Spellbinders October Card Kit of the Month (the patterned papers from today's cards are from the October Card Kit!).

My Favorite Essentials By Ellen Set Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ellen Hutson 11^th Anniversary Hop! We are so thrilled to have you joining us!

It was so hard to choose just one favorite Essentials By Ellen Stamp Set to feature today. When I really sat down to think about it I realized that the All Inside Stamp Set was more than likely my favorite because of it's versatility with the addition of Bear Ware and Bear Ware 2. I love then companies bring out "add-on" types of stamp sets that extend the life of the original set!

I've created a trio of seasonal bear-themed cards to share with you today.

All three cards feature the bear from All Inside, the tree from Bear Ware 2 and a scattering of other elements and/or greetings from All Inside, Bear Ware, Bear Ware 2, Cozy Lady, and Warm Fuzzies.

The images from the All Inside, Bear Ware, Bear Ware 2, and Cozy Lady were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating All Inside Dies, Bear Ware Dies, Bear Ware 2 Dies, and Cozy Lady Dies.

Backgrounds for all three cards were created with the MFT Drifts and Hills Stencil and Distress Inks:

• Winter Card: Tumbled Glass
• Love Card: Spun Sugar, Gathered Twigs
• Autumn Card: Peeled Paint, Wild Honey

Greetings from the Holiday Words Die Collection were die cut from the bottom edge of the winter and love-themed cards. Additional words were die cut from smooth white cardstock. The backgrounds were adhered to top fold card bases with the greetings stacked one on top of another ending with the stenciled greeting on top.

Greetings from the Bear Ware 2 and Warm Fuzzies stamp sets were stamped on black cardstock with Versmark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being trimmed into thin strips and adhered over the die cut greetings (winter and love card) and directly along the bottom edge of the card (autumn card).

The die cut stamped and colored images were adhered to the inked scenes as shown.

Each design was finished with a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Rose Water, Limoncello, and Sea Breeze.

Lawn Fawn | Forest Feast Thanksgiving Card

Welcome to the Lawn Fawn August Inspiration Week!

Today the Lawn Fawn Design Team is featuring the new Forest Feast Stamp Set and Dies and Birch Trees Dies. I created a Thanksgiving forest scene sure to make the recipient smile! I paired these new stamps and dies with previously released stamps and dies.

Images from the Forest Feast Stamp Set and Thankful Mice Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock using Jet Black Ink. The tree stump was stamped with Walnut Ink and all the images were colored in with Copic Markers and die cut with the coordinating Forest Feast Dies and Thankful Mice Dies.

The background was die cut from a Watercolor Wishes patterned paper using a Large Stitched Rectangle Die. A green Knock On Wood patterned paper was die cut using the same die and then borders were die cut using Stitched Hillside Borders Dies. Trees were die cut from a Knock On Wood patterned paper using the Birch Trees Dies.

Greetings from the Forest Feast Stamp Set were stamped on the background using Black Licorice Ink.

The borders were adhered along the bottom edge of the background and the birch trees were tucked into the borders, framing up the sentiment.

Leaves from the Jump For Joy Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock using Sunflower, Pumpkin Spice, and Chili Pepper Lawn Fawn Inks, die cut with the coordinating Jump For Joy Dies and adhered to the trees as shown.

The rest of the images were adhered to build the thanksgiving table scene and a black glaze pen was used to add detail to the eyes.

The panel was adhered to a white side fold card base to finish the design.

Lawn Fawn | Happy Harvest Scalloped Box Card Pop Up Card

Pop up cards are such a fun, interactive way to design a dimensional card and the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop Up Dies make creating a pop up card so super easy! No measuring is necessary and the card is perfect for displaying! I paired the pop up card with images from the Happy Harvest Stamp Set and Jump For Joy Stamp Set for my card share today.

The base of the card was die cut from Perfectly Plaid Fall 12x12 patterned paper. Two panels are needed for the pop up box and I die cut 4 "inside" pieces for the four layers I'm adding to the design. I assembled the layers first and then put the box card base together. *Be sure to check out the video for exact instructions on putting together the box easily.

A Picket Fence was die cut from smooth white cardstock and a Simple Grassy Hillside was die cut from Sunflower Cardstock and adhered to a couple of the inside layers.

Outline images from the Happy Harvest Stamp Set and Jump For Joy Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Jet Black Ink and colored in with Copic Markers. The corn stalks were stamped with Butter and Sunflower Inks, the sunflower stems were stamped with Freshly Cut Grass Ink, and the leaves were stamped with Sunflower, Lobster, and Carrot Inks. The images were die cut with the coordinating Happy Harvest and Jump For Joy dies and adhered to the different layers as shown.

Greetings from Jump For Joy were stamped on a die cut panel from the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop Up Dies using Carrot and Walnut Ink. Additional images and panels were stamped and embellished for the two side panels.

A larger panel was die cut using a Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop Up Die and stamped and embellished with images from the Happy Harvest Stamp Set, Jump For Joy Stamp Set and Push Here Stamp Set to complete the design.

I highly, highly recommend picking up the Thankful Heart Stamp Set. This gorgeous greeting stamp set is my new favorite and will be used a lot not only this time of year but all year round!

I trimmed a piece of Ivory Cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" and then ran it through a Big Shot using the Flower Frenzy Embossing Folder. I die cut the "signage" from a scrap of the woodgrain patterned paper using the Sketch Frame Die. I pulled apart the Metallic Copper Envelope and die cut the frame from the envelope as well.

I stamped a greeting from the Thankful Heart Stamp Set on the woodgrain patterned paper with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I adhered the sign to the embossed background and then glued the metallic copper frame around the woodgrain sign.

I die cut leaves from additional red, orange, yellow, and green patterned papers using the Stitched Maple Trio dies. I inked the leaves with Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey, and Forest Moss Distress Inks. I adhered the leaves to the bottom two corners of the sign as shown and finished the design with drops of glitter glue.

I adhered the entire panel to a ivory card base using foam adhesive.

I stamped a thanksgiving greeting on the inside of the card using a sentiment from the Thankful Heart Stamp Set  using Delicata Celestial Copper Ink.

Simon Says Stamp October 2016 Card Kit | Autumn Blessings Die Cut Cards

The Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit may have sold out but the components are still available for individual purchase. I used my favorite Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Fall 6x6 patterned paper with the Simon Says Stamp Ring Frame Die for pretty framed up papers. Simple accents and a delicate die cut greeting from gold metallic cardstock make for a trio of gorgeous autumn blessings cards.

For the dimensional ring frames I applied Stick It to two sides of Fun Foam, removing stick it from one side and applying white cardstock and then die cutting the dimensional frames with the Simon Says Stamp Ring Frame Die. I adhered the frame to the front of a Side Fold Card Base. I die cut three patterns from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Fall 6x6 patterned paper and filled the ring frames with the patterned paper circles.

I die cut maple leaves from a bronw Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Fall 6x6 patterned paper using the Stitched Maple Trio Dies. I attached the leaves to the card with mini glue dots.

Distressing was added to the backgrounds by watering down some Tarnished Brass Distress Paint and flicking it over each with a paintbrush.

Once the paint was dry, I added an acorn to the largest maple leaf and added a scattering of pearl gemstones. Additional leaves were die cut from metallic gold cardstock from the Stitched Pumpkins Dies. A greeting was die cut from the same cardstock using the Autumn Blessings Die and attached to the card with small drops of liquid glue.
