Delicate Garden

 I've been lusting after this Delicate Garden Craft Your Life set for a year now, and I finally caught it on sale earlier this month!  Here are some cards I made using this wonderful set.


supplies: white cardstock, dps from Whimsy Stamps Mix-n-Match 2 pack, Delicate Garden embossing folder, stencils, and matching die, Altenew Cherry Blossom, Pocketful of Sunshine, and Green Valley inks, Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments stamps and die

First I used the embossing folder to emboss this image, then the stencils to color it, and finally the matching die to cut it out.  Then I ran it through the folder again to refresh and deepen all the details.  I love dots and stripes, and this paper pack is a great one that has both!  There is a stamp set also in this set, but when using the embossing folder, I don't think you need it.  

The stamp set, stencils, and dies have 2 more floral arrangements in this set.  They are often used together with the above image, but today I wanted to let them shine on their own.


supplies: white and purple cardstock, Delicate Garden stamp, stencils, and die, Altenew Enchanted Garden purples and Green Meadows greens inks, Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle die, Simon Blossom Field embossing folder, Spellbinders All You Need Sentiments glimmer plate and die, Lavender Petal glimmer foil


supplies: white, lemon yellow, and black cardstock, Delicate Garden stamp, stencils, and die, Altenew Pocketful of Sunshine yellows, Golden Sunset oranges, and Spring Bouquet greens inks, Pink Fresh Studio Floral and Diamond Tiles coverplate, Spellbinders Curved Everyday Sentiments glimmer plate and die, gold glimmer foil

This is certainly a set that gives you your money's worth!  I love sets like these that give you lots of products that all coordinate.

Thanks for stopping by!

Simon Says........Anything Goes

 

Welcome to a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog!


 

It's Anything Goes week, and the team is featuring Whimsy Stamps.  You don't have to use this brand to enter, but we'd love to see it being used if you have any of their products.  This week I chose a paper pad of neutrals.


supplies: white, Slate, yellows, Green Apple and Green Leaf cardstock, Whimsy Stamps Mix n Match Neutrals paper pad, Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms dies, Simon Painted Hello dies, small foam squares to pop up flower layers

This paper pad has 7 different patterns of 4 neutral colors: grey that I've used here, black, brown, and tan.  These small-scale patterns work beautifully with this sketch, and I popped some yellow flowers on top to brighten it all up.

These paper pads also come in 2 other color configurations.

Now it's your turn!  We have a $25.00 gift certificate

Simon Says.......Slimline Card!


Happy Wednesday!  Time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday blog!



This week our theme is Slimline Cards, and the team is featuring Whimsy Stamps.  You don't have to use these products to play along, but if you have any we'd love to see them being used.  I chose their Tweetie Pie set of clear stamps for my card today.


supplies: white and Audrey Blue card, Tweetie Pie stamps, tiniest snowflakes from Lots of Snowflakes, glue pen, prisma glitter, tiny sequins

Though full-size slimline cards (3 1/2 " X 8 1/2") are hard for me to photograph, I chose to make my card this size so I could use all these adorable little elements on it.  There's still another bird in this set, along with lots of fun sentiments.  After stamping and coloring, I went back in and added some glittery snow and some tiny snowflakes, and then some sequins for some winter sparkle.

Now it's your turn!  We have a $25.00 gift certificate

A Rainbow Wreath

 I had pulled out this retired Pink Fresh Studio Leafy Wreath die, intending to cut it from some cardstock that I had colored with fall colors.  Then I saw this sheet of patterned paper that came in a Simon Card Kit and thought I'd try cutting it to make a rainbow wreath.  I love how it turned out!


supplies: white cardstock, rainbow dp from Whimsy Stamps Rainbow paper pad, Pink Fresh Studio (retired)  Leafy Wreath die and Perfect Sentiments stamps and die

I cut the wreath out of the center of an A2 panel, then used the remainder to frame my white panel.  It's such a shame that this die has been retired, as it has great dimenstion with the parts that you can pop up!  Irregardless, this idea would work with any wreath die.

I'll be entering my card into the Pink Fresh Studio September 2021 Challenge, all about leaves and greenery.




Thanks for stopping by - hope this brightened your day!

Simon Says.......Anything Goes


Happy Wednesday - welcome to our challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog!



 It's Anything Goes week, with the added option of making a slimline card, and the team is featuring Whimsy Stamps products.  I chose a really lovely pad of floral papers and made 2 mini slimline cards.


supplies: white and a pink cardstock from Memory Box Berry Red collection, Whimsy Stamps Fabulous Florals patterned paper, MFT Sending You Hugs die, Heffy Doodle Bold Banner Sentiment stamps and matching die, pink ink, irridescent sequins 

Most of the florals in the paper pack have a bold striped pattern on the reverse that will coordinate with it, so this pack is very versatile.  Here's a 2nd card using both those elements; I've always loved a combo of florals and stripes.


supplies: white and Lavender cardstock, Fabulous Florals paper pack, Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Borders 2 die, PinkFresh Studio Perfect Sentiments stamp and die, heart sprinkles

Now it's your turn!  We have a $25.00 gift certificate

Simon Says........Time to Sparkle and Shine!

 

Happy Wednesday - welcome to our challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog!



"Time to Sparkle and Shine" is the theme we've chosen for you this week, and the team is featuring Whimsy Stamps.  You'll have 2 weeks for this challenge, so we can all fully enjoy our holidays!

Here's my card.  I used prisma glitter as my sparkle, and did minimal coloring, letting this lovely stamp do all the work.


supplies: white and Lipstick Red cardstock, Whimsy Stamps Snow Road cling stamp, tumbled glass distress ink, red ink and marker, an old PTI bird stamp, Simon Holiday Hellos sentiment, Unicorn Dust prisma glitter and glue pen

After stamping and trimming out my panel, I added a light layer of tumbled glass distress ink for the sky, and colored in only the house and the tree trunk, with a light grey shading on the fence posts.  I also stamped a little cardinal on the fence (not part of this set). Then, using my glue pen, I put down a thick layer of glue on the tree branches, the piles of snow on the little pines, the house roof, and on the shading of the landscape, then sprinkled glitter over it all.  This sentiment from a small set is the perfect size, and I stamped it in red.

This card has a lovely sparkle in real life, just like freshly fallen snow, but not so much in these photos, so sorry.  Here's a little closer shot.  At least it shows a bit of the dimension the glitter adds.  This is a really lovely stamp, one which I will use often, as a snowy scene like this reminds me of home and growing up.

Simon Says.........Anything Goes!



Happy Wednesday - welcome to our challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!



Time for an Anything Goes challenge!  The team is showcasing Whimsy Stamps this week.  When I went to the store to choose something for this week, I found this amazing Lilac and Butterfly cling stamp.  I didn't look any further, because lilacs are one of my favorite flowers, and there really aren't many lilac stamps around.  When I got it home and stamped it for the first time I saw what I didn't notice at first: that the stamp is drawn so that the butterfly appears 3D.  Here's my card.


supplies: white and Lavender cardstock, Lilac and Butterfly cling stamp, colored with Zig markers and water, sentiment from Simon Stronger Together, Altenew Creative Edges Lace die 

I had planned to stamp the butterfly a 2nd time and pop it above the design, but there was no need - it stands out beautifully on its own!

Now it's your turn!  We have a $25.00 gift certificate
