Fresh Bloom Release

Hi there! Have you seen the fun new Fresh Bloom release by Simon Says Stamp? It’s so fun! There’s a little something for Easter, Spring and all year round as well.

SSS-CZ You Got This Tag, Triangle Blast Stencil, Peeking Bunny, Bunny Wishes

I created a couple of quick and easy projects using some of the fun new products.

SSS-CZ You Got This Tag, Triangle Blast Stencil, Peeking Bunny, Bunny Wishes

This first card uses the fun new You Got This Tag designed by the one and only Cathy Zielske. She’s my fave:) I die cut the tag using Lawn Fawn pattern paper. For the background I used the Triangle Blast stencil and distress inks in similar colors to the tag: Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feather & Salty Ocean.

This adorable little mini card features the Peeking Bunny die. I can’t with the simply cuteness! I used more Lawn Fawn pattern paper and embossed a sentiment from Bunny Wishes on the bottom.

After die cutting the floral images, I embossed a sentiment included in the Build-a-Flower: Dahlia stamp set. Before adhering the images I flicked a little bit of Licorice liquid watercolor onto my white cardbase. I also added a few Studio Katia sequins here and there for embellishment.

Sketched Flowers

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the Sketched Flowers stamp set.

I stamped the floral image with Memento ink and colored it with Copics. Then I took a white gelly roll pen and added some highlights along with a few flicks of licorice liquid watercolor.

Masking with Distress Oxide Sprays

Hi there! Today I have a couple projects to share with you that I’ve created experimenting with masking using Distress Oxide Sprays.

SSS-CZ Love You-Distress Oxide Sprays

For this first card I simply masked off straight lines and overlapped the sprays to give it that gorgeous combination of colors. The colors of Oxide Sprays that I used are: Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon & Cracked Pistachio.

SSS-CZ Love You-Distress Oxide Sprays

For the sentiment I used the CZ Love You word dies along with a few Studio Katia sequins.

SSS-CZ Love You-Distress Oxide Sprays

For this next card I used a heart mask that I created with one of the Ornate Love hearts dies and some acetate. This could be so much fun to do with various shapes like maybe triangles for a fun geometric design.

SSS-Everyday Words on a Line-Distress Oxide Sprays

For the sentiment I used one of the Everyday Words on a Line dies. Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

I’m feeling pretty much addicted to these oxide sprays at the moment, and have more ideas than time. If only I had a cook and a house cleaner and a nanny, lol! I hope you enjoyed! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Birdie Wreath

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the adorable new Birdie Wreath set.

Mama Elephant-Birdie Wreath & Hippity Hop

To begin I stamped several of the images from Birdie Wreath as well as the banner image from Hippity Hop and colored them with Copics. Then I used the coordinating creative cuts to die them out.

Mama Elephant-Birdie Wreath & Hippity Hop

For the background I blended Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar, Wild Honey & Squeezed Lemonade onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. Then I used foam tape to pop up the images over the ink blended background.

Mama Elephant-Birdie Wreath & Hippity Hop

I added some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Rose Water, Orange Marmalade & Limoncello here and there for accents. Those Nuvo Drops are dangerous. Once you get started, it’s almost impossible to stop!

I think this would make a perfect wedding or even baby card. Hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Distress Oxide Sprays

SSS-Everyday Words on a Line, Ornate Love & Distress Oxide Sprays

Hey there! Today I have a fun project to share where I experimented with the Distress Oxide Sprays. These are so much fun to used, although I have MUCH to learn! Once I sprayed the background with Mermaid Lagoon & Cracked Pistachio I turned it into a card using the hearts from Ornate Love, a sentiment from Everyday Words on a Line & Tiny Words. I also added a few gorgeous Studio Katia sequins.
