STAMPtember Paper Roses "Long Stem Flowers" Slimline Card

TGIF! Today's Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Exclusive Stamp Set is "Long Stem Flowers" by Paper Roses. This 6" x 8" stamp set includes beautiful florals, stems, leaves, and sentiments.

The images were stamped and embossed on dark gray cardstock with white embossing powder before being colored in with Polychromos. Simple stenciling over the panel, heart embellishments, and mixed and matched fonts perfectly finish this card.

There are very limited quantities available and it is ONLY available at Simon Says Stamp this STAMPtember while supplies last. The exclusive collaborations are selling out in record time this year, so act fast if you can.

This is the 11th Anniversary of STAMPtember and it's bigger and better than ever! Thank you so much for being a part of this incredible month-long stamp party!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this polychromos slimline card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

The background was die cut from Slate Cardstock using a Slimline Nested Rectangles Die. 

Images from the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Exclusive Stamp Set is "Long Stem Flowers" by Paper Roses and a sentiment from the Clean Line Gratitude Stamp Set were stamped on the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The flowers/buds were colored with White, Pink Carmine, and Dark Red Polychromos.

The leaves and stems were colored with White, Permanent Green Olive, and Deep Cobalt Green Polychromos.

The Simon Says Stamp Tiny Dots Stencil was stenciled over the background with white pigment ink. It's easy enough to stencil around the colored images rather than over them. I find this technique works best with a stencil that is easy to line up. Stenciling adds a great bit of interest to the background without overwhelming the design.

The panel was adhered to a white slimline card base (3 1/2" x 8 1/2") and finished with a scattering of Trinity Stamps Jelly Drop Hearts.

Watch the creation of these hello & thank you die cut cards made with the Spellbinders September 2020 Small Die of the Month from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

Subtle embossed backgrounds really showcase the die cutting layered on top. I also think some tone-on-tone background stamping would be beautiful here.

 

For the "Hello" card, FSJ Hazelnut Blend Cardstock was trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed with the Barn Wall Embossing Folder. The background was adhered to a white side fold card base.

The foliage frame was die cut with FSJ Fresh Forest Cardstock and Gold Mirror Cardstock. Each frame requires two die cut pieces. I layered the green on the gold and adhered and assembled the frame on the card as shown.

The flowers were die cut from FSJ Haystack Cardstock, Buttercream Cardstock, Pumpkin Bred Cardstock, Cranberry Bliss Cardstock, and Gold Mirror Cardstock. The flowers were assembled and adhered around the frame as shown in the video above.

The "Hello" sentiment was die cut from FSJ Cranberry Bliss and Gold Mirror Cardstock. The red was adhered on top of the gold for a bit of "shadow" and adhered to the background as shown. A T-Square Ruler helped line up the sentiment perfectly.

For the "Thank You" card, FSJ Denim Days Cardstock was trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed with the Pretty Plaid Embossing Folder. The background was adhered to a white side fold card base.

The foliage frame was die cut with FSJ Fresh Forest Cardstock and Gold Mirror Cardstock. Each frame requires two die cut pieces. I layered the green on the gold and adhered and assembled the frame on the card as shown.

The flowers were die cut from FSJ Haystack Cardstock, Buttercream Cardstock, Pumpkin Bread Cardstock, Cranberry Bliss Cardstock, and Gold Mirror Cardstock. The flowers were assembled and adhered around the frame as shown in the video above.

The "Thank You" sentiment was die cut from FSJ Cranberry Bliss, Pumpkin Bread Cardstock, and Gold Mirror Cardstock. The colored cardstock was adhered on top of the gold for a bit of "shadow" and adhered to the background as shown. A T-Square Ruler helped line up the sentiment perfectly.

Phrases were glimmered on FSJ Haystack Cardstock with Gold Foil using the Glimmer Hot Foil System. The phrases were die cut with the coordinating strip die ad adhered to the background with foam adhesive.

Nuvo Crystal Drops in Gold were adhered to the orange and red flower centers to finish the card.

The greeting was die cut vertically with a Sentiment Labels Die. The greeting was adhered to the center of the panel with foam adhesive.

The "white space" around the panel was filled in with an assortment of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink, Red Berry, Ripened Pumpkin, Dandelion Yellow, Green Apple, Caribbean Ocean, Berry Blue, and Crushed Grape.

3 Easy Distress Oxide Backgrounds (Simon Says Stamp)

Hello friends! Have you seen the newest Distress color from Tim Holtz, Crackling Campfire?!!! It is a gorgeous orange color perfect for fall and beyond! I'm sort of obsessed. Today I'm going to close out August with three easy Distress Oxide Backgrounds that I hope inspire you to play with your inks.

Don't forget that STAMPtember starts tomorrow, September 1st! Be sure to come back at 12 p.m. Eastern tonight for the STAMPtember Release and a video. Whoohoo!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of these easy Distress Oxide inked backgrounds cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

REVERSE CRACKLE BACKGROUND

The Reverse Crackle Background was stamped o a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of smooth white cardstock with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink. Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Ink was blended around the edges to help draw the eye into the details we will be adding to the center of the panel.

The Simon Says Stamp Large Stitched Maple and Large Stitched Oak dies were die cut from smooth white cardstock. The leaves were inked with Fossilized Amber, Aged Mahogany, and Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide Inks. The edges of the leaves were inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink. A Distress Sprayer was used to add oxidation to the leaves. Gansai Tambi Starry Colors gold watercolor was splattered over the leaves for additional distressing. Once dry, the leaves were adhered to the center of the crackle background.

 

Smooth white cardstock was adhered to Fun Foam with Stick It Adhesive. The adhesive was also placed on the back of the Fun Foam. The Big Thanks Die was die cut from the dimensional sandwich and inked with Aged Mahogany and Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide Inks. The greeting was adhered to the "shadow" die cut from smooth white cardstock and adhered to the center of the design as shown. 

A sentiment from the Big Thanks Words Stamp Set was stamped on smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The phrase was die cut with a Nested Banners Die and adhered below the scripty Thanks with foam adhesive.

The panel was adhered to a white side fold card base and finished with Trinity Stamp Coffee Bean Hearts.

EMBOSSED RESIST BACKGROUND

The MFT Stamps Ghoulish Greetings Background was stamped on a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Crackling Campfire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks were applied over the inked area, blended, and the excess ink buffed away from the embossed areas. A Distress Sprayer was used to add oxidation to the and Gansai Tambi Starry Colors gold watercolor was splattered over the background for additional distressing. 

A clear embossing ink pad was swiped on a scrap of smooth white cardstock and the Crackling Campfire Embossing Glaze was applied to the ink twice and heat set. The Boo! sentiment was die cut from the glazed cardstock and adhered to the top of two more die cut greetings for a bit of dimension. The greeting was adhered to the panel as shown. A Sentiment Strips Halloween greeting was trimmed into a thin strip and adhered with foam adhesive.

The Friendly Ghosts Die was die cut multiple times from smooth white cardstock. Circles were die cut from Black Licorice Cardstock and adhered behind the faces. The ghosts were adhered around the perimeter of the card with foam adhesive as shown. Any excess was trimmed away with scissors. I kept some of the tails and adhered them in open areas with liquid adhesive.

The panel was adhered to a white top fold card base and finished with Trinity Stamp Coffee Bean Hearts.

DIE CUT MASK BACKGROUND

The Simon Says Stamp Center Cut Hexagon Floral Background was stamped on smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The Hexagon Greetings Die was die cut from Masking Paper and used to mask off the background design so Distress Oxide colors in Fossilized Amber, Aged Mahogany, Crackling Campfire, and Gathered Twigs. The floral designs were painted with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors and a medium water brush pen to really draw your eye into the beautiful floral detail.

To easily trim the background so the design is centered I used a Basic Rectangles Die.

A Hexagon Greetings image was stamped on smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting was inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink for embossed resist and adhered to the background with foam adhesive.

An additional sentiment from the Say It All Friend Stamp Set was stamped stamped on smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The phrase was die cut with a Nested Banners Die and adhered below the hexagon greeting with foam adhesive.

The panel was adhered to a white top fold card base and finished with Trinity Stamp Coffee Bean Hearts.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower Daisy Release (Blog Hop + Giveaway)

Hello friends! Today I am thrilled to be joining Altenew for the Craft-A-Flower Daisy Release Blog Hop! You should be arriving from Laurie Willison's blog. For my cards today I created a one layer background with stenciling and glimmer foiling that perfectly compliments the gorgeous die cut layered daisies, die cut scripty sentiment, and stamped phrase. Let's get started!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of these craft-a-flower daisy die cut cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

THE BACKGROUND

To create the backgrounds for my card I used a Trinity Stamps A2 Foundations Rectangle 6x6 Stencil to mask off a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of smooth white cardstock. 

For the mint background card, Pinkfresh Studio inks in Mint and Meadow were applied inside the rectangle stencil. The light color was applied all over and the darker color around the edges only. A Spellbinders Essential Glimmer Rectangles Glimmer Plate was used to glimmer Cobalt Blue Foil on the background to decorate the inked edge!

For the blue background card, Pinkfresh Studio inks in Sky Blue and Summer Shower were applied inside the rectangle stencil. The light color was applied all over and the darker color around the edges only. A Spellbinders Essential Glimmer Rectangles Glimmer Plate was used to glimmer Polished Brass Foil on the background to decorate the inked edge!

THE SENTIMENTS

For the mint background card a sentiment from the Altenew Sincere Greetings Stamp Set was stamped on the background with Pinkfresh Studio Meadow ink. The Handwritten Hello greeting was die cut from smooth white cardstock and Lawn Fawn Rainforest Cardstock. The die cut was adhered above the stamped phrase.

For the blue background card a sentiment from the Altenew Sincere Greetings Stamp Set was stamped on the background with Simon Says Stamp Blue Island Ink. The Handwritten Hello greeting was die cut from smooth white cardstock and Lawn Fawn Rainforest Cardstock. The die cut was adhered above the stamped phrase.

THE FLOWERS

The Altenew Craft-A-Flower Daisy flowers for the mint background card were die cut from Lawn Fawn Guava Cardstock, Hero Arts Peony Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Paper Bag Cardstock, and Lawn Fawn Chocolate Bar Cardstock. The leaves were die cut from Lawn Fawn Cilantro Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Meadow Cardstock, and Lawn Fawn Rainforest Cardstock.

The flowers were shaded with R30 and R32. The flower center was shaded with E44, E47, and E49. The flowers and leaves were adhered to the card as shown.

The Altenew Craft-A-Flower Daisy flowers for the blue background card were die cut from Lawn Fawn Sticky Note Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Sunflower Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Paper Bag Cardstock, and Lawn Fawn Chocolate Bar Cardstock. The leaves were die cut from Lawn Fawn Cilantro Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Meadow Cardstock, and Hero Arts Palm Cardstock.

The flowers were shaded with Y15 and Y18. The flower center was shaded with E44, E47, and E49. The flowers and leaves were adhered to the card as shown.

Funfetti hearts were added to the cards to finish the designs.

Vellum Window Thanks Card (Simon Says Stamp)

Happy Saturday! I've got a fun stencil + watercolor technique for you today that features a beautiful little vellum window over the top of the background as to still showcase the background behind. I'm using the Poppy Bouquet Stencil with Distress Oxide Ink and Karin Brushmarker Pro Markers to create my own custom background! Let's get started!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this vellum window thanks card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

THE BACKGROUND

To create the background the Poppy Bouquet Stencil was temporarily adhered to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of Canson Watercolor Cardstock with Pixie Spray. Antique Linen Distress Oxide Spray was applied with a blending brush and the stencil removed.

Karin Brushmarker Pro Markers in 051 Orange Red, 213 Cocoa, and 281 Olive Green were used with a Medium Water Brush Pen to paint over the stenciled design! I love how this gives a watercolored stenciled look so quickly and easily!

The Thank You Background was stamped over the stenciled + watercolored design with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Ink.

 

The background was die cut with a Basic Rectangles Die and then adhered to a white side fold card base. The frame die cut with an A2 Thin Frames Die and adhered over the background to give it an elegant "framed up" look. 

THE SENTIMENT

A vellum rectangle was die cut from vellum using a smaller Basic Rectangles Die. An A2 Thin Frame was die cut from gold mirror cardstock and adhered over the top. Not only does this give an elegant look but it's a great place to hide adhesive when adhering to the background panel.

Alphabet letters from the Rounded Alphabet Small Dies were die cut from gold mirror cardstock and adhered to the vellum rectangle to spell the word, "thanks".

A greeting from the Window Frames Stamp Set was stamped on smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder before being die cut with a Nested Banners Die. The banner was adhered with foam adhesive below the die cut greeting.

A Trinity Stamps Coffee Bean Heart was adhered below the banner.

Inside Spinner Fairy Cards (Simon Says Stamp)

Hello friends! I love a good surprise inside a card, don't you?!!! Today I'm sharing how to create this inside fairy spinner showcasing the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set! Not only is the card front a darling little fairy scene but when you open up the card there's a surprise inside with a spinning fairy! All the stamped images and greetings are from the Fairytale Spinner stamp set. I love keeping it easy like that! Let's get started!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this vellum window thanks card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

THE CARD FRONT

The card base was created by trimming Hero Arts Arctic Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scoring in half at 4 1/4".

A piece of Hero Arts Mist Cardstock was trimmed to 3" x 5 1/2" and stenciled with the Simon Says Stamp All The Clouds Stencil and Lawn Fawn Yeti Pigment Ink. Once the ink was dry, a sentiment and "sparkles" from the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set were stamped over the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. 

Lawn Fawn Cilantro Cardstock was die cut with a Simon Says Stamp Grassy Edges Die to create two borders, inked with Simon Says Stamp Teal Ink, and adhered along the bottom edge of the scene as shown.

A piece of smooth white cardstock was trimmed to 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and a Simon Says Stamp Scallop Stitches Die was used on both long sides to add detailing. The stenciled panel was adhered to the white strip.

A fairy, butterflies, and flowers from the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:

• Fairy: Beige, Flesh Colour, Pale Pink, Mustard, Pale Yellow, Light Blue, Blender, Bright Yellow, Yellow
• Purple Butterfly: Dark Pink, Purple
• Blue Butterfly: Blue, Light Blue
• Pink Flower: Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Green, Light Green, Yellow Green
• Yellow Flower: Bright Yellow, Yellow, Pale Yellow, Green, Yellow Green
• Red Flower: Carmine Red, Light Carmine, Green, Light Green, Yellow Green

The images were die cut with the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Dies and adhered to the scene strip to liquid glue or foam adhesive.

THE INSIDE SPINNER PANEL

Hero Arts Mist Cardstock was trimmed to 5 1/4" x 8 1/2" (just a 1/4" shorter on one side than a standard A2 card). The card was scored at 4 1/2" and then 2 1/4" from each side.

The inside of the Hero Arts Arctic Card Base and the spinner panel were stenciled with the Simon Says Stamp All The Clouds Stencil and Lawn Fawn Yeti Pigment Ink. Once the ink was dry, a sentiment and "sparkles" from the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set were stamped over the panels with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. This brings the design from the front of the card to the inside for a cohesive look!

The front and back of another fairy, butterflies, and flowers from the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:

• Fairy (both front and back): Beige, Flesh Colour, Pale Pink, Mid Brown, Blue, Light Blue, Green, Yellow Green, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink
• Purple Butterfly: Dark Pink, Purple
• Purple Butterfly: Light Violet, Pale Violet
• Pink Flower: Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Green, Light Green, Yellow Green
• Yellow Flower: Bright Yellow, Yellow, Pale Yellow, Green, Yellow Green
• Red Flower: Carmine Red, Light Carmine, Green, Light Green, Yellow Green
• Light Purple Flower: Light Violet, Pale Violet, Green, Yellow Green
• Dark Purple Flower: Dark Pink, Purple, Light Green, Yellow Green

The images were die cut with the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Dies.

The floral images and butterflies were adhered along the bottom edge of the panel being sure to avoid any of the scored lines. 

A piece of thin thread was adhered at the top and bottom of the circular opening using a nice, strong adhesive. You want to make sure the thread is nice and taut so that the image on the string will spin!

The string was sandwiched between the front and back fairy images using liquid adhesive. 

Strong double side adhesive was placed along the two outer sides of the inside panel (see video) and adhered to the inside of the card. You want to make sure and avoid adding adhesive to that center pop up panel so that the card will pop open and the image will spin!
