SSS DieCember 2020 Release

Posted on December 1, 2020 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends!
Today is the first day of December, oh, I can’t believe it’s already the last month of 2020, which means we can meet the Simon Says Stamp DieCember! YAY!!

For my cards today, I’m featuring the Detailed Rose die set – I loooooove it.

For my first card, I collected the patterned papers that were left here and there. I don’t know why but as soon as I saw this rose die, I thought of patchwork. I die cut the Detailed Rose from thick white cardstock & several patterned papers first. I then assembled all pieces using fine tip glue pen. I also die cut the detailed leaves from green cardstocks.

For the background, I die cut stripes from patterned papers using the Strips 1 & the Strips 2 die sets, then adhered them as shown in the picture on white card base using double-sided tape.

Doesn’t this tiny butterfly make the rose look more beautiful?!!

For my second “Thanks” card, I just used detailed leaf die in the Detailed Rose die set. I applied several Distress inks behind the Thanks sentiment panel in rainbow order – I used Festive Berries, Fossilized Amber, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, Mermaid Lagoon and Seedless Preserves.

I die cut detailed leaves (in the Detailed Rose set) & solid leaves (in the Christmas Foliage set) from thick white cardstock, then decorated the Thanks sentiment panel with them.

I will share more of my DieCember cards on Thursday. Please look forward to the 2 days DieCember 2020 blog hop starting tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS Make Merry Release Blog Hop – Day 2

Posted on October 10, 2020 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends!
Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Make Merry Release Blog Hop. I’m especially excited to be a part of this amazing blog hop because it’s Christmas hop, woohoo!! If you arrived here from super talented Heather Hoffman’s blog you are on the right track!

For my first card, I am featuring the new Center Cut Holiday Floral background stamp & the Deco Hat Gnome die. As many of you know watercolouring is my most favourite way to play with in my craft room! With these awesome goodies, I made a no-line watercoloured card.

I stamped the holiday flowers on A2 sized watercolour paper panel using Antique Linen Distress ink first, and then coloured the stamped image with Tonic Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens:
(Flowers & Berries) Red Apple, Wild Phlox
(Leaves) Sliced Kiwi, Aqua Splash, Indigo Batik
(Stems) Yellow Ochre, Caramel Pecan
I coloured with Aqua Flow Pen first, then added water using water brush.

Once the watercoloured panel was dry, I cut the centre of the panel using Stitched Circle die.

For the Deco Hat Gnome, I die cut Deco Hat from several colour cardstock – Lipstick Red, Sunshine, Mint and Green Apple. For the sentiment, I used the CZ Design Joyful dies.

Isn’t this gnome so cute?!! :D

For my second card, I used the Falling Leaves layering stencils & the Warm Hugs dies. with the first leaves stencil, I inked with Green Apple dye ink. The second leaves stencil, I inked with Green Leaf dye ink. The berries stencil, I inked with Lipstick Red dye ink. Lastly I laid acorn stencil over the panel, then inked with Rusty Hinge & Gathered Twigs Distress inks.

For the sentiment, I used the Warm Hugs dies.

It is so easy to make pretty card with layering stencils! :D

For my last project for the hop, I made a very simple Christmas ornament ball with Warm Hugs dies. I made thick white “Warm Hugs” word die cut, then glued firmly to the bottom of the clear plastic ball using multi medium matte. I filled a clear ball with lots of clear sparkling sequins & glitters.

SSS Copic coloured Poppies

Posted on September 12, 2020 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello, hello crafty friends. I hope you are having a very healthy weekend!!
Hmm… I feel so sad that it’s been over a month since I’ve made a new blog post.. I really, really missed my inky fingers, messy craft desk and many crafty friends! Now I’m so happy to share with you my Copic-coloured floral card!! :D
My today’s card, I used the Poppies Background Stamp along with other SSS products. I stamped the Poppies Background onto watercolour paper using Memento Rich Cocoa dye ink first, and then trimmed the stamped paper with A2 sized Basic Rectangle die. I coloured the stamped poppies with Copic markers:
Flower petals: (light to dark) R39 Garnet Dark Red, R29 Lipstick Red, R24 Prawn Red
Stamens: E59 Walnut Dark Brown, YR14 Caramel
Stems: E59 Walnut Dark Brown, E25 Caribe Cocoa.
After colouring, I added floral textures onto the floral panel using the Detail Petal Plate die.
For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Like You” from white cardstock, shadow from Lipstick Red cardstock, then glue together. I die cut tiny butterflies from white cardstock using the Flickering Butterflies die as well. I mounted the floral panel on A2 sized white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added all elements as shown in the picture using foam tape.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!
I bet you guys are having FUN with STAMPtember 2020, RIGHT?!! Please DO NOT miss this super awesome giveaway!
