Happy DieCember®! If you’re unfamiliar with DieCember®, it’s a month long party hosted by Simon Says Stamp celebrating dies and die-cutting. Today’s card shares features products from THIS new release… To create this card, I started by applying Distress Oxide inks through THESE stencils. I die cut two layers from the image from THESE dies. I adhered the pieces to a background embossed with THIS die using THIS embossing mat in my die cut...
Hello there, crafty friends. Today’s card features a background with lots of texture thanks to Embossing Glazes and stencils… To create this card, I started by applying Orange, Yellow, Teal, and Brown ink through an older stencil in my crafty stash (it’s the Autumn Wreath stencil from SSS). Once dry, I applied THIS clear ink on top of the inking I just did. Next I applied the coordinating color of Embossing Glaze on top...
Hi, crafty friends. Today’s card features new products from the Rainbow Splash line from Simon Says Stamp… To create this card, I started by applying ink through THIS new stencil on a 4×4 white cardstock square. I masked off the sections of the pencil with THIS masking tape so I could add multiple colors. Next, I laid THIS grid stencil on top and ran it through my embossing machine with THIS mat so it...
Hello, crafty friends. I have a spooky slimline card to share today featuring new products from Hero Arts… To create this card, I started with the background. I cut a piece of THIS cardstock to slimline size — and applied THIS Glow-in-the-dark lacquer pen liquid through THIS stencil. I did this at the top of the card, let it dry, and then repeated the process on the bottom of the card. I ink blended...
Happy STAMPtember, crafty friends! If you are unfamiliar with STAMPtember, it’s a month long celebration of stamping and crafting. There is so much fun in store for this month but let’s start with a card I created with THIS STAMPtember release by Simon Says Stamp… To create this card, I started by white heat embossing THIS text background on an A2 piece of white cardstock. Next, I applied blue Distress Oxides through each layer...
Hello again, crafty friends. I have a birthday card to share today… To create this card, I started with the background. I applied white pigment ink through THIS confetti stencil on a piece of neenah desert storm cardstock. I wanted the colors of the confetti to be vibrant so I like to put a layer of white down before putting dye ink on top. Next, I die cut the panel using THIS stitched rectangle...
Hello again, crafty friends. I have a 5×5 square card to share today… To create this card, I applied ink through THESE layering stencils to create a sunflower background. I used a darker cardstock so to make the inks stay bright, I used Distress Oxide inks. Because of the ink’s pigment properties, it will stay bright on dark colored cardstocks. Instead of using the last layer of the stencils, I just added some white...
Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card share is a card I made for a friend’s baby shower… To create this card, I swiped THIS trio of yellow ink across a white A2 panel to create an ombre look. These three yellow inks are new additions to the Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks and they are fantastic! Once dry, I used the same colors and applied the ink through THIS stencil for a tone on...
