Sunny Days Ahead Release

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using some of the new products from the latest Sunny Days Ahead release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Outline Mama, Extra Large Congrats, CZ Grad Hat dies, Rose Trio & Graduation Celebration Layering Stencils

This first card uses the Graduation Celebration Layering Stencil on the background. There are three stencils in this layering stencil set. I only two of the stencils: the confetti & the graduation caps. I first blended a soft layer of distress inks on the panel and then went over with the stencil using the same colors for a tone on tone look.

Extra Large Congrats, CZ Grad Hat dies, Graduation Celebration Layering Stencil

For the sentiment I use the CZ Extra Large Congrats die with rainbow pattern paper. I also used the CZ Grad Cap die and added a coordinating sentiment with one of the Sentiment Strips Reverse Grad.

This next card is for all the mamas out there:) I did the same sort of recipe that I used on the first card with a soft, subtle ink blended background and then tone on tone inking with a stencil. For this card I used the Rose Trio stencil.

SSS-Outline Mama, Rose Trio Stencil

For the sentiment I used the Outline Mama die along with a coordinating sentiment from the Sentiment Strips Reverse Mom set. I also added a few embellishments from the new sequin mixes: Soft Sunrise & April Showers.

Waffle Flower-Everyday Pattern Papers

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few projects that I’ve created using some of the gorgeous new Everyday Pattern Papers by Waffle Flower.

Waffle Flower-Yippee, Fresh Rainbow, JJ's Rainbows paper

These papers tickle my rainbow lovin’ heart. Not only do they have bright, vivid colors and fun patterns, but they are 80lb. in weight, which would make them be suitable for card bases.

Waffle Flower-Fresh Rainbow, JJ's Rainbows paper

This first card uses some rainbow pattern paper from JJ’s Rainbows paper pack. I used the Fresh Rainbow panel die, which coordinates perfectly with the pattern paper. For the sentiment I used the Big Dots Sentiments set.

Waffle Flower-Fresh Rainbow, JJ's Rainbows paper

I used more of JJ’s Rainbow paper on this next card along with the Fresh Rainbow panel die, but this time I turned it into a shaker card.

Waffle Flower-Fresh Rainbow, JJ's Rainbows paper

For the sentiment I used the Fresh Rainbow stamp set. To create the shaker I backed the panel with acetate and lined the back with foam strips. To fill the shaker I used Pink Moonstone sequins.

My next card features strips of cardstock from the Half-Half Unicorn & Enchanted pattern paper packs.

Waffle Flower-Yippee

I used the Yippee stamp set & coordinating dies for the sentiment & images.
