SSS Masterpiece Box Blog Hop

Hello, hello crafty friends, happy Saturday!
Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Masterpiece Box Release Blog Hop!!
Masterpieces_927_gallerySSS-OhHappyDayMasterpiece Box, it’s so special to me! I designed the “Oh Happy Day” stamp set for the box! I am SO honoured to be a part of this splendid event as a stamp designer and a card maker!!!

YoonsunHur-20160716-SSS-BlogHop-A001For my first card, I used the “Oh Happy Day” stamp set I designed. To start, I stamped the sentiment on the centre of an A2 sized watercolour paper panel in VersaFine Pigment Ink Onyx Black. I then stamped the flowers and leaves on it using SSS inks. (All supplies are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used.) I coloured the outlined flowers with Distress markers. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape, then added clear droplets using Ranger Glossy Accents.
YoonsunHur-20160716-SSS-BlogHop-A002I stamped this yellow flower using the NEW SSS Lemon Zing dye ink – This yellow is truly beautiful!!

YoonsunHur-20160716-SSS-BlogHop-B001For my second card, I made a fun card with the Mama Elephant Tiny Ninjas stamp set – they are super cute!!! To start, I made “A city in the dark” scene with Distress ink blending. I heat embossed the city building from the Mama Elephant Central Park set on watercolour paper in white, ink blended it with Faded JeansSeedless Preserves, and Black Soot Distress inks using mini ink blending tool, then added water droplets and pearl white ink splatters. Next, I stamped the ninjas on white card stock in VersaFine Onyx Black, then fussy cut them. Once the inked panel was dry, I mounted it on an A2 sized white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added a stitched rectangle window panel and adorable ninjas using dimensional foam tape.

SSS Handwritten Floral Greetings

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
Today I want to share with you a couple of my leaf wreath card using so beautiful Simon Says Stamp Handwritten Floral Greetings stamp set.
YoonsunHur-20160715-SSS-BothSSS-HandwrittenFloralGreetingsFor today’s cards, I made my own leaf wreath with the outlined leaf stamp in the set.
SSS-20160715-P01To start, I placed a circle die on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel, then traced a circle very lightly with a pencil (or mechanical pencil).
SSS-20160715-P02Next, I stamped the leaf from the Handwritten Floral Greetings set along the circle line using Antique Linen Distress ink.
SSS-20160715-P03I then basically coloured them with Distress markers and water brush.
YoonsunHur-20160715-SSS-A001I added more colours and more water! Because I wanted to have a more subtle watercolour effect!! I ripped out the bottom of the panel, inked the edges of it with Crushed Olive Distress ink using mini ink blending tool. I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black. Finally, I mounted it on an A2 top folded kraft card base using dimensional foam tape.
YoonsunHur-20160715-SSS-A002
YoonsunHur-20160715-SSS-B001Here is another card with the same design on kraft base. I stamped the leaf along the circle line using white pigment ink first, and then coloured them with white acrylic paint using a paint brush (without water). Once the panel was dry, I stamped the same leaf onto the same place in black pigment ink again, then added Perfect Pearls Mist and opaque white ink splatters. Like my first card, I ripped out the top & bottom of the panel, inked the edges of it with Vintage Photo Distress ink. I mounted the panel on kraft card base using dimensional foam tape, then embellished with a few 4mm PPP gold sequins – I love white on kraft!!

SSS Summer fun in the sun

Hello crafty friends, I hope you are having a great weekend!
Today I’m just popping in to share my fun watercolour card with the Simon Says Stamp summer themed stamp sets.
YoonsunHur-20160710-SSS-001For today’s card, I used the Summertime Animals & Warm Christmas Wishes stamp sets together. First, I stamped the palm trees from the Warm Christmas Wishes set, pineapples from the Summertime Animals set on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel in VersaFine Pigment Ink Onyx Black using the Mini MISTI stamping tool. I then stamped the sentiments & tiny images from the Uplifting Thoughts set on the centre of the panel in VersaFine Onyx Black as well. Next, I coloured the images with Derwent inktense colored pencils – I coloured with the pencils first, and then dabbed them with the waterbrush. For the background, I coloured around the sentiment areas with Distress inks using a wet paint brush: Squeezed LemonadeMowed Lawn, and Peacock Feathers. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the stamped sun images using dimensional foam tape.

SSS Fun tropical pineapple

Hello crafty friends!
Today I am sharing with you my fun tropical pineapple card with the new SSS Summertime Animals stamp set.
YoonsunHur-20160630-SSS-001Have you ever seen any pink or blue pineapple in real life? Hmm, I haven’t seen but it’s possible to make in our creative imagination, don’t you think? :D
SSS-SummertimeAnimalsFor my card today, I used only the pineapple image in the Summertime Animals stamp set. First, I stamped the pineapples on watercolour paper using VersaFine Smokey Grey, watercoloured them with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor, and then die cut them with the matching die. Next, I die cut a separate watercolour paper using the A2 sized rectangle die in the SSS Basic Rectangle die set. And then roughly watercoloured the background with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor using a wet flat brush. Once the panel was dry, I mounted the watercoloured panel on an A2 sized white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the pineapple die cuts on it using dimensional foam tape. Finally I mounted the sentiment banner on top of the card using foam tape, then added some Glossy Accents water droplets.
YoonsunHur-20160630-SSS-002That’s it for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day!!
