SSS United We Craft! Party

Posted on April 4, 2020 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello awesomely creative friends!
I believe that all of you and your family there are well! Today is a very special day. Simon Says Stamp threw a very exciting party called “United We Craft! Blog Party”. I’m so happy to be a part of this EPIC party today.

For my first card, I used the Botanical Heart stamp & die set – it’s definitely one of my favourites among Simon products. Colouring large sized floral image takes time but I don’t care. I just feel so great like being an artist during this time. :D
I stamped the floral image from the Botanical Heart set onto watercolour paper using VersaFine Vintage Sepia pigment ink, then coloured the stamped image with Tonic Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens – these aqua pens are also one of my favourite watercolour mediums. Once the watercoloured floral image was dry, I die cut it with the matching die.
For the sentiment, I stamped it from the Just Because Word Mix 2 set on white cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black, and then die cut it.
I added clear droplets here and there.

For my other two cards here, I used the Layered Tulips stamp set along with the Lettered Greeting Cards Sentiment Strips – it took less than 20 minutes to make each card!
For the blue tulips, I used Lake Shores & Blue Jay dye inks.
For the layered red tulips, I used Rose Apple & Lipstick Red dye inks.

Our intention in creating the #SSSUnitedWeCraft hashtag was to encourage everyone to show the human side of our quarantined creativity (as well as the beautiful things that everyone is creating). We would love for you to share photos with you and your family creating – your kids, your significant other, your pets, or anyone else in your house OR photos of Zoom craft sessions or Instagram story parties that you are having with your creative friends. We want to show how crafting is bringing us together in new ways. You can share your photos in your blog post (if you are doing a blog), but we would really love for you to share sweet, crafty faces on Instagram and use the hashtag #SSSUnitedWeCraft to allow us to see the happiness that our craft is bringing to the world.
Ta-da! I will give away these 6 of my cards in the picture to 6 of my precious IG followers! Please visit my IG (Click HERE).

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a safe and healthy weekend!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

PPP Spring Blessings

Posted on April 1, 2020 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, I really hope you and your family are healthy and safe during this difficult period.
Today I have a cheerful card with newly released PPP Crocus stencil & Spring Blessings Script die.
I started by making floral background with the new Crocus stencil – I love it!! I placed the Crocus stencil on the bottom left side of watercolour paper panel in place, then taped all leaves using washi tape to avoid the mixture of purple & green colours. I ink blended Crocus with some Distress inks:
Petals : Seedless Preserves
Leaves : Mowed Lawn & Crushed Olive
I made one more flower on the top right side of the panel. After ink blending, I added Copic V15 marker to give the petals more depth and ink splatters as well.
For the sentiment on the centre, I used the Spring Blessings Script die. I die cut it from SSS Green Apple cardstock.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a healthy day.

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

PPP Baby Boy Card

Posted on March 21, 2020 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends!
Today I have a sweet little baby boy card to share with you using brand new Pretty Pink Posh products. I used the Baby and the Little One sets.
I heat embossed the word “BABY” onto the Sea Glass cardstock in white first, and then die cut it with the matching die. I then adhered the “BABY” die cut on the same coloured Sea Glass card base using foam tape. I die cut several stars from blue & white cardstock using the Baby coordinating die set as well.
I stamped several cute images from the Baby & the Little One sets on watercolour paper using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink, coloured them with Copic markers, then die cut them with the matching dies. I added all cute images as shown in the picture on the card using foam tape.
I added white dots here and there using Tonic Simply White Nuvo Crystal Drops.
As you may know, Paulina, the Pretty Pink Posh owner, recently gave birth to a son, Zion.
Congratulations Paulina! Your Zion is a blessing from heaven!!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a healthy weekend.

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Pinkfresh Studio Floral Cards

Posted on March 19, 2020 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends!
Today I have simple & elegant floral cards with some Pinkfresh Studio floral-themed products – Just Because and Floral Cluster sets.

First two cards, I used the Just Because set along with the Essentials: Classic Words die set.
It’s so easy to make! I heat embossed floral image from the Just Because set on Lipstick Red paper panel using white embossing powder first, and then partially coloured the image with ivory polychromos colored pencil.
Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape, then added opaque white ink splatters & white dots.
For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Beautiful” from white cardstock using the Essentials: Classic Words die set, adhered it on the bottom of the card using foam tape.

For my second card, I used the same way with the first card but made it on kraft card base.

In this card, I used the Floral Cluster set along with the Essentials: Classic Words die set. I heat embossed the floral cluster onto Soft Navy paper panel in white, coloured it with polychromos colored pencils, then die cut it with the matching die.
I mounted the Soft Navy panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the flower image on the top-right corner using foam tape.
I hope, pray and believe that the whole nation will recover soon. Stay safe!

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Paper Rose Ella’s Garden Scribble Roses

Posted on March 11, 2020 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends!
Today I have a couple of floral cards using the Paper Rose Ella’s Garden Scribble Roses die set along with the Ella’s Garden Rose Bouquet stamp set.To create this card, I die cut flowers & leaves from watercolour paper using the Ella’s Garden Scribble Roses dies first. I then inked inner pieces using some Distress inks:
Rose petals : (from left to right) Tattered Rose, Festive Berries, Seedless Preserves
Leaves : Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough, Crushed Olive
I applied double-sided tape to the back of outlined flowers & leaves die cuts, and then inlaid all of the pieces in place. I die cut two of outlined leaves from white cardstock as well.
For the background panel, I lightly painted with Tumbled Glass Distress ink, added blue & green ink splatters. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the Garden Scribble Roses using foam tape. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Ella’s Garden Rose Bouquet set on black cardstock in white, then trimmed it down.
I added water drops here and there using Tonic Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops & PPP clear droplets.

Here is another card with the Ella’s Garden Scribble Roses die set. In this card, I only used leaves from the set.
For the metallic blue leafy background panel, I die cut the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle panel from watercolour paper first, and many leaves from watercolour paper as well. I adhered leaves onto the panel as shown in the picture using fine tip glue pen, then painted onto the panel using blue & purple metallic watercolours. I added opaque white ink splatters. For the sentiment, I used the Pinkfresh Studio Hey Gorgeous die set.
Oh, I’m so satisfied with the result!! :D
