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!!

MFT WSC 289

Hello crafty friends, happy Wednesday!
I am sharing with you my card for My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 289.
MFT_WSC_289
Here is what I came up with:
YoonsunHur-20160713-MFTWSC289-001For my card today, I turned the sketch on its side. To start, I created my own background with the Arrow Ends Background Builder stamp. I stamped it on watercolour paper panel with Black Soot Distress ink, then lightly brushed them using a wet flat brush. Next, I ink blended on a separate watercolour paper with rainbow colours of Distress ink using mini ink blending tool: Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, and Seedless Preserves. I then die cut them with the Chevron Fringe Die-namics. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Celebrate with Cake set on black card stock in white, then cut out a banner using the Blueprints 29 Die-namics.

Stamp of Approval Lovely Notes Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to be a part of the Stamp of Approval Lovely Notes Collection Blog Hop today!
SOA-BlogHop-BannerStamp of Approval is a collection of products (stamps and dies) that work fabulously together, but they’ll also work incredibly well with supplies you already own. They are released quarterly and sell out quickly (the last one sold out in 33 hours!).

Today I have three cards for you featuring the Butterfly Notes, Lovely Flowers, Handpainted Thanks, and Wonderful Wreath stamp sets.YoonsunHur-20160712-SOA-A001For my first card, I created a watercolour butterfly card with the Butterfly Notes stamp set – it is one of my favourites in the Lovely Notes Collection. First I stamped the large sized butterfly from the Butterfly Notes set on an A2 sized cold press watercolour paper panel with Distress inks: (from the top) Dried Marigold, Tumbled Glass, Victorian Velvet. I then added more colours to each butterfly with Distress inks using a wet paint brush:
Red butterfly: Festive Berries & Fired Brick
Blue butterfly: Twisted Citron & Mowed Lawn
Violet butterfly: Wild Honey & Mermaid Lagoon
I added some ink splatters around the butterflies. For the sentiment, I stamped them in black pigment ink. Finally, I mounted the watercolored panel on white card base using double-sided tape.

YoonsunHur-20160712-SOA-B001For my second card, I used the Lovely Flowers and Handpainted Thanks (designed by Neat & Tangled) stamp sets. To start, I randomly stamped the flowers and leaves from the Lovely Flowers set on an A2 sized white paper panel with MFT hybrid inks using the Mini MISTI stamping tool. I then added some opaque white ink splatters over the stamped images. Next, I stamped the sentiments on the bottom left corner of the stamped panel using VersaFine Onyx Black – “thanks” from the (Neat & Tangled) Handpainted Thanks stamp set and “You Made My Day” from the Butterfly Notes set. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-side tape, then added some clear droplets on the stamped flowers using Ranger Glossy Accents.
YoonsunHur-20160712-SOA-B002
YoonsunHur-20160712-SOA-C001For my last card, I used the Wonderful Wreath stamp set. To start, I created my own background with the musical notes – I stamped them on white paper panel in Altenew Evening Gray dye ink. For my focal panel, I die cut from watercolour paper using the banner die in the Lovely Flowers die set first, and then stamped the leaf wreath from the Wonderful Wreath set on it with Altenew Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades dye inks. I also prepared the birds, fruits, pine cones for decorating the wreath. I mounted all elements as shown to an A2 sized white card base using dimensional foam tape, then embellished with a few PPP clear sequins.
YoonsunHur-20160712-SOA-C002Hmm, it looks like a Christmas card, don’t you think? :D

Print
Today our team is taking a fresh look at our most recent release with inspiring ideas and innovative takes on the complete collection. We love the opportunity to look at our products with fresh eyes, envisioning entirely new ways to showcase the possibilities they present. We can’t wait to share our ideas with you!

YoonsunHur-20160712-MFTRR-A001
For my first card, I used the Big Birthday Balloons Die-namics as my main supply. First, I die cut the balloons from watercolour paper, then lightly coloured them with Distress inks using a wet paint brush: (from the top left corner) Worn Lipstick, Squeezed LemonadeTea Dye, Antique Linen, Tattered RoseTwisted Citron, Tumbled Glass, and Victorian Velvet. Once the balloon die cuts were dry, I adhered them as shown to an A2 sized white paper panel using double-sided tape. For the sentiment, I stamped it from the Big Birthday Sentiments set on white card stock in Black Licorice hybrid ink, then cut out a banner using the Blueprints 27 Die-namics.
YoonsunHur-20160712-MFTRR-A002

YoonsunHur-20160712-MFTRR-B001Here is another card with a birthday balloon! I tried to make a clean and simple layered card. I die cut a piece of watercolour paper using the Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, positioned the Big Balloons Stencil on the top right corner of it, traced the balloon very lightly with a pencil, then coloured the balloon with Festive Berries and Fired Brick Distress inks using a paint brush. Next, I die cut another rectangle panel, the same size of the watercoloured balloon panel, from the Dots & Stripes Neutral Paper Pack using the same Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I then stamped the Transparent Triangles Background on the Kraft card base using Latte hybrid ink. I mounted all elements as shown to the Kraft card base using dimensional foam tape. For the sentiment, I stamped “Make A Wish” from the Celebrate with Cake set on white card stock in Black Licorice hybrid ink, then cut out a small banner using the Blueprints 30 Die-namics.
