The floral image was repeatedly stamped around the perimeter of the colored cardstock panel using a black ink for Copic coloring. I colored these beauties in with Copic Markers on the light colored cardstock and stamped over the whole thing with white pigment ink using the new STAMPtember Old Letter Background. I'm always a sucker for a beautiful text background! I paired phrases from the Framed Friendship Stamp Set with the Simon Says Stamp Friend Dies for the sentiment.

I heat set the ink to dry it fast and stamped the frame from the Framed Friendship Stamp Set was stamped over the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. To make the frame even (only half stamps at a time), I stamped and embossed one half of the design, flipped the panel (not the stamp) in my MISTI, and stamped and embossed the other half.
The Simon Says Stamp Friend shadow was die cut from smooth white cardstock. The sentiment was die cut from smooth white cardstock adhered to Fun Foam with Stick It Adhesive. The letters were colored in with the following Copic Markers:
Pink: RV52, RV55, RV66
Red: R30, R32, R35

Mint: G00, G02, G09

Welcome to the August Edition of Making the Cut, my monthly video series at Simon Says Stamp! This month I am sharing a trio of modern squares backgrounds cards created with Basic Squares Wafer Dies. I love finding ways to take basics from my stash and using them in fun and unusual ways! Something as simple as a square is instantly transformed when tipped at an angle and inlaid for a stunning pattern! Pop a gorgeous floral die and sentiment strip on top and you have beautiful cards for any occasion!

THE BACKGROUNDS
All three backgrounds were created exactly the same with the Basic Squares Wafer Dies. Six squares were die cut and then five squares were die cut again with the next smallest square, essentially giving you five frames and a square. The center of each top fold card base was found with a ruler and I placed a small pencil mark there. Taking the largest frame, I adhered it to the top of the card and trimmed the excess. The next large frame was adhered next to it on a side and the excess trimmed. The excess pieces were then used to fill in the bottom and other side of the panel. The rest of the frames/squares were adhered the same way until the entire background was finished.
Inlaying the squares/frames gives you a nice flat panel, perfect for embellishing, isn't too thick, and is easy to mail. I don't recommend placing squares one on top of another as the layers get super thick, making them difficult to trim with scissors or a paper trimmer and you won't be left with a flat surface to embellish.
Once the background was assembled, Stick It Adhesive was adhered to both sides of a piece of Neenah 80 lb. Cardstock. A Crocus Flowers die was die cut from the cardstock, the backing paper removed from the floral, and adhered to the front of the card. Another Crocus Flower was die cut from a separate piece of smooth white cardstock. The backing paper was removed from the flower on the front of the card and the other die cut adhered on top. The flower was also die cut from Simon Says Stamp Lavender Cardstock and Hero Arts Palm Cardstock. The flower pieces were inlaid into the design.
Once the background was assembled, Stick It Adhesive was adhered to both sides of a piece of Neenah 80 lb. Cardstock. A Dahlia Stem was die cut from the cardstock, the backing paper removed from the floral, and adhered to the front of the card. Another Dahlia Stem was die cut from a separate piece of smooth white cardstock. The backing paper was removed from the flower on the front of the card and the other die cut adhered on top. The flower was also die cut from Simon Says Stamp Cotton Candy Cardstock and Lawn Fawn Cilantro Cardstock. The flower pieces were inlaid into the design.

Happy Fri-yay! Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Let's Connect Release Blog Hop Day 1. Today I'm so excited to share this trio of funny toilet paper cards featuring lots of new stamps and die from the release. The We're Like Toilet Paper Stamp Set and coordinating dies were used throughout all three cars. The Interactive Toilet and Toilet Paper Slider created interactive elements on two of the three cards. The awesome Detail Petal Plate was used as a background for all three designs. I love how it almost gives that "quilted" toilet paper look! Let's get started creating these funny cards!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these funny toilet paper cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The Interactive Toilet was die cut from smooth white cardstock, silver foil cardstock, and Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass Cardstock. The toilet background was adhered directly to the card base above the sentiments. The layering pieces were adhered on top of the background design with foam adhesive. Shading was added with C00 and C2.
The images were adhered with foam adhesive as shown and the panel was secured to a white top fold card base to complete the card.
TOILET PAPER SLIDER CARD
The Toilet Paper Slider was die cut from smooth white cardstock. The images were shaded with COO and C2 Copic Markers. The slot was die cut from the gray background panel. Be sure you take into consideration hiding the slider when designing your card. (I talk about this int the video.) Foam adhesive was placed on the background panel. The foam adhesive helps the slider move easier.
Before placing the slider in place greetings from the We're Like Toilet Paper Stamp Set were stamped on the toilet paper. I had to alter the greeting to make it fit the portrait style of my design. The slider was put in place and the roll was adhered over the slider with foam adhesive along the tops and sides.
Toilet Paper Rolls: C00, C2, Colorless Blender, R00, E55, E57
Hearts: R24, R29, R39
A greeting from the We're Like Toilet Paper Stamp Set was stamped on Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment was die cut with the stamp set's coordinating die. The sentiments and images were adhered to the background with foam adhesive.

I love that even with a 3D club kit, you can create a more one dimensional project, like a card! I wanted to show the versatility of the kit as well as show how to assemble the 3D components in my latest video. I created a mini easel with canvas to decorate my craft room. How cute would these be as place settings for a craft retreat or get together with friends?!!!! I also took many of the dies from the kit, pairing them with the Crafty Sentiments Hot Foil Plates and Craft Happy Stamp and Die Bundle to create this rainbow of paint tubes card! No matter what you make, you're going to love this month's Large Die of the Month Club Kit!
THE EASEL
The long piece from the 3D Still Life Easel & Canvas Kit was die cut 5 times from gray woodgrain cardstock and assembled according to the video instructions. The "metal" piece at the top of the easel was die cut twice (one for the front and one for the back) from Silver Mirror Cardstock. The piece was secured to the top of the main frame on the front and back. The two pieces for the front were cut smaller according to video directions and adhered to the easel (be sure not to adhere the top piece until you decide on portrait or landscape format for your "canvas". The leg and stabilizer piece were adhered the the back of the easel.
The paint tube, paint splatter, brushes, and palette were die cut from many FSJ cardstocks, assembled, and adhered to the canvas before being adhered to the easel.
Glossy Accents was applied to the paint palette and paint splatter for a glossy, raised finish.
The paint tubes and paint splatter were die cut many, many times from smooth white cardstock and an entire rainbow array of FSJ Cardstock. The images were adhered to the design around the circle as shown.
The paint palette and paint brushes were were die cut, assembled, and adhered to the design as shown. Glossy Accents was applied to the paint.
A greeting from the Craft Happy Stamp and Die Bundle was stamped on Black Licorice of Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The phrase was trimmed into a strip and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.

The Foiled Brushstrokes and Stripes Glimmer Hot Foil Plates make awesome backgrounds. I used the stripes from the collection in a diagonal along the bottom right corner of a FSJ Pool Play Cardstock panel using Silver Foil. I like to start with a bigger panel than what I need and then trim it down to size for my card. This panel was trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4".

Hello friends! Today I am guesting over on the Simon Says Stamp blog with these lift ink butterfly backgrounds cards featuring the June 2020 Card Kit, Beautiful Butterflies.

All three cards are the same basic design but feature different alcohol ink colors and greetings. I purposely created a rainbow effect with my three cards, even though a "rainbow" isn't featured on the individual designs. 🌈❤️
Tim Holtz Idea-ologyTypography Findings were used to create the greeting. I glued them in place with Glossy Accent and positioned them easily with a pair of craft tweezers.
A sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies 6x8 Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being trimmed into a strip and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.
