SSS STAMPtember® Blog Hop

Hello, hello crafty friends! Happy STAMPtember®! Yay!!

StamptemberOh my goodness! I am so super excited and extremely honored to be a part of Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Blog Hop!!

September is my favourite month of the year other than Christmas for card making and I am ready to enjoy the month-long event, STAMPtember®!! Are you ready?!

YoonsunHur-20150902-SSS-Stamptember-Hop01A new Stitched Leaf Wreath die is so versatile. It makes 9 adorable autumn leaves at a time. It can be used by itself as a negative wreath panel, or positive die cuts with other supplies. I really love it!!

To create this card, 1) I die cut many autumn leaves from the watercolour paper using Stitched Leaf Wreath die, loosely coloured them with Distress inks using waterbrush. 2) For my watercolour background, I blended onto the watercolour panel with several colours of Distress ink using mini blending tool, spritzed with water using Mini Mister. I then added water droplets. 3) I tied the natural twine at the bottom of the background panel and then mounted it on the SSS white top fold scored card base. 4) To finish it off, I mounted all leaves as shown to the watercolour panel using dimensional foam tape and then stamped the sentiments with black ink – ‘Hello’ from the Hello Friend Stamp Set, ‘SENDING LOVE’ from the Best Hugs Stamp Set.    YoonsunHur-20150902-SSS-Stamptember-Hop02
YoonsunHur-20150902-SSS-Stamptember-Hop03Yee haw! What a FUN Christmas!! I particularly LOVE the Warm Christmas Wishes Stamp Set because it’s really happening in Australia lol!

For my second card – oh, super duper fun – I used no-line watercoloring technique. I 1) Stamped images from the Warm Christmas Wishes Stamp Set onto the watercolour paper using Antique Linen Distress ink, coloured them with Distress markers. 2) Stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Graphic Stamp Set on the white card stock using black pigment ink, fussy cut it. 3) Mounted the watercolour panel on the white card base and then adhered the sentiment on that using dimensional foam tape.

YoonsunHur-20150902-SSS-Stamptember-Hop04For my last card for the hop, I played with warm colours of Hybrid ink cube. These are so soft like pigment inks but quite a juicy like dye inks. SO CHARMING!!

To create my wide striped background, 1) I masked off strips using washi tape and blended with (from the top) Lemon Chiffon dye ink, Twirling Tutu, Rosie cheeks, Apricot, Sunkist hybrid inks, and lastly Sunshine dye ink using mini blending tool. I then stamped images from the Hello Friend Stamp Set on the inked panel using embossing ink, clear heat embossed. I then added machine stitches.

  1. I’m sitting on the floor where I fell when I saw this incredible post with all these fabulous cards you made. Your so talented, you must get tired of hearing that. Each one of your creations is a masterpiece.

  2. I LOVE your work. The autumn leaves card is outstanding. That is a cute, fun Christmas card and I appreciate the nice work you did on the striped card, including REAL stitching.

  3. I love the “washy” watercolor look you got on your first card. Great colors, too. I also like the bling you used for the Christmas lights on the palm trees–so cute! And the ink blending on your last card is divine. I like the subtle visual texture your clear-heat-embossed images give, and the stitching texture. I think you’ve inspired me to try zigzag stitching on my cards as well as plain o’l straight stitching. :) Tfs! ~ Andrea

  4. These cards are all gorgeous! Santa’s glittery beard, I just love that! The clear embossed background on your third card is so subtle but adds SO much to that card, I really have to use that technique!

  5. Lovely cards! I adore lots of colour. In particular, I like the falling leaves. They look beautiful against the watercolour background. Thanks!

  6. Love these beautiful cards you shared with us! There are so many great new products in this release, my favourites are the dies like the wonderful little stitched leaves you used for the first card. Really love the striped and stitched background on the Hello Girl card too! 😍
