SSS Bold Flowers

Hello crafty friends, happy Wednesday!
Today I have a couple of floral cards to share with you using the SSS Bold Flowers set along with other SSS products.

For my first card, I 1) Die cut the Marilyn Full Card from white card stock, and then used all positive & negative pieces. 2) Stamped flowers & leaves from the Bold Flowers set onto another white card stock using several SSS dye inks:
Flowers: Rose Apple, Rosie Cheeks, Sunshine, Hydrangea
Leaves: Dusty Sage, Willow (hybrid), Scuba (hybrid).
3) Die cut all stamped images with the matching dies. 4) Die cut the Flickering Butterflies from white card stock. 5) Heat embossed the sentiment from the Let Us Rejoice set on black card stock in white, trimmed it down. 6) Mounted the Marilyn Full Card die cut panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added all elements to the centre of the card front using foam tape.
I love decorating floral card with butterflies!!

Here is another flower card with the Bold Flowers stamp set. I randomly stamped flowers & leaves on the Wonky Rectangle Panel using several SSS dye inks, then lightly inked the edges of the stamped panel with Tattered Rose Distress ink.
For the sentiment, I used the SSS CZ Design Love You Like stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS Sending Sunshine Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
Welcome to the second day of the Simon Says Stamp Sending Sunshine Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the Bibi Cameron’s blog you are on the right track.

For my first card, I am featuring the Bohemian Lace Background Stamp along with other SSS products.
I started by heat embossing the Bohemian Lace Background onto watercolour paper panel using white embossing powder. I die cut from the bottom right corner of the panel using the Stitched Circle die, and then ink blended on the panel using several Distress inks & mini round blending tool: Scattered Straw, Victorian Velvet, Crushed Olive, Tumbled Glass, Tea Dye, and Pumice Stone.
I stamped the sentiment “Thank you” from the Wreath Greetings set on the bottom right corner of the white card base using VersaFine Onyx Black ink, then mounted the main panel onto the card front using foam tape. I added some tiny butterflies (from the Flickering Butterflies die) and PPP Sparkling Clear Jewels around sentiment area.

For my second card, I am featuring the Spring Flower Burst & the CZ Design Love You Like Stamp Sets.
I stamped flower clusters from the Spring Flower Burst set onto watercolour paper panel using VersaFine Onyx Black ink, watercoloured the stamped images with Derwent Inktense colored pencils & water brush. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the CZ Design Love You Like set on Schoolhouse Red cardstock in white, trimmed it down. I stamped another sentiment “SO SO MUCH” on white card stock with black ink, trimmed it down as well.
Once the watercoloured floral panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment cut & tiny butterflies using foam tape.

For my last card for the hop, I am featuring the Hello There Stamp Set and the Dazzling Circle Die.
I die cut the Dazzling Circles from an A2 kraft paper panel at first. Under the die cut panel, I ink blended on white card stock with green coloured Distress inks: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Crushed Olive.
I added a cute watercoloured squirrel & sentiment banner (from the Hello There stamp set), tiny butterflies (from the Flickering Butterflies die) using foam tape.

SSS Sending Sunshine Release

Hello crafty friends!

YAY!! The Simon Says Stamp Sending Sunshine Release is LIVE! There are full of awesome products in this release! Today I have two floral cards to share with you using the new Flower Cluster Die – it’s one of my favourites among the entire new products.
For my first card, I made white flowers on kraft base. I die cut the Flower Cluster from white card stock five times, stacked them up using fine tip glue pen – made 2 thick flower die cuts. I then simply adhered them on kraft card base. For the card base, I applied the Stitched Whirl Background Die.

To created the card, I die cut the Flower Cluster from white paper panel, inlaid the die cut in place, and then added the colours to petals & leaves using coloured card stocks.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Spellbinders May Large Die of the Month

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
Today I have a couple of floral cards to share with you using the Spellbinders May Large Die Kit.
This month’s kit features 3 swirly leaves and 4 flowers, they are so beautiful!!

Here is what I came up with:
For my first card, I created a floral Mother’s day card. I die cut flower from watercolour paper several times, then adhered them onto watercolour paper panel using glue pen. I ink blended on the panel with Festive Berries, Tattered Rose, and Scattered Straw Distress inks. I then freely brushed the inked panel using a wet paint brush. Once the panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape.
For the sentiment, I used the SSS CZ Design Love You Mama Stamp Set.

For my second card, I made a CAS card! I die cut from dark grey panel using one of swirly leaves in the kit, die cut from white card stock using the same leaf die, and then inlaid the white die cut in place. I added red flowers and white enamel dots.
