Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects from the latest All the Feels release with Simon Says Stamp. You can check out all of the fun, new products HERE!

SSS-Sweet Garden Cherry Tree, Floral Garden, Bear Hugs, Reverse Sassy Mama

My first card features the adorable Bear Hugs die. I used khaki, vanilla & black cardstock for the bears. I also added a small rosy cheek using an R30 Copic.

SSS-Bear Hugs, Reverse Sassy Mama

For the sentiment I used one of the new Reverse Sassy Mama Sentiment Strips. The background is some older pattern paper by Pinkfresh Studio.

This next card uses the Sweet Garden Cherry Tree die. I masked off the blooms to blend color onto each one using distress inks. I added some chunky rainbow jewels to the centers of each bloom.

I added acetate to the back of the die cut to turn it into a shaker and filled it with heart & star confetti. The background is Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper again and the sentiment is from the Floral Garden set.

Friendly Flowers

March 20, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the beautiful Friendly Flowers stamp set included in the April Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Friendly Flowers

To begin I embossed the large floral swag in clear onto white cardstock. I blended distress ink in Kitsch Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon for the color. I added a little bit of Candied Apple to the centers of the flowers to make them pop. These small detail brushes work so good for this.

SSS-Friendly Flowers00

I stamped the sentiment & striped border image also from Friendly Flowers and flicked on some black soot onto the panel.

Blooming Meadow

February 28, 2021

Hi there! Can you believe today is the last day of February already? Where do the days go? Today I’m sharing another project featuring the Hello Beautiful release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Blooming Meadow, Mix & Match Squares Stencil

For the background I used the Mix & Match Squares Stencil. I blended Pinkfresh Studio inks onto a panel first to lay down a soft base, then I adhered the stencil over top and blended with the same colors with more intensity. I added a few flicks of similar color inks as well as water & white ink over top of the blending for a little texture.

For the bouquet I embossed the outline images from Blooming Meadow in white onto vellum and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The sentiment is also from Blooming Meadow embossed in white onto black. For embellishment I added a few Raindrops.
