Simon Says Stamp New Beginnings Release…Artsy Flower Parts

March 9, 2017March 13, 2017 Pam Sparks19 Comments

So happy to share a card with you today using the NEW Artsy Flower Parts stamp set from the New Beginnings release available today! Such sweet flowers! I love this set already!

I spritzed a piece of Canson Montval watercolor paper with water and then stamped the images inked with Distress Inks. After everything was inked and stamped I spritzed with water again to cause the inks to bleed. I kept it in the MISTI stamping tool to dry so the magnets held it down to keep it from warping.

Here’s a capture of the layered up wishing die cut. I die cut it three times and glued them together with Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on black card-stock and trimmed it with an Omnigrid ruler and finger knife.

Tied on some twine, layered it on black card-stock and then on this celery green card-base.

Sharing a card today from the NEW release at Simon Says Stamp. So many pretty dies and stamps! Love is in the air, along with the snow on my blog and in Iowa. hoho

My photos don’t do this card justice. Black and gold can be so dramatic and I assure you they are on this card! (no sunshine for pictures today)

I used the Memory Box Master Oval Frame die to set this card up, then tied on some thin gold thread.

Two white die cuts glued on behind the gold die cut…

You can see this die and the rest of the release at SSS, HERE. Have fun looking and shopping!

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Here’s a phone picture I just took this a.m. Sun is bright today!

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge…

Hello stamping friends! So many fun challenges right now. I just had to jump in for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge this week, woodgrain, kraft and white. YES! I have to admit, it was hard not to use red and black too though! lol

I’m also linking to…

Happy Little Stampers new challenge – Anything Goes with Dies

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – Emboss it

Craft Stamper, Take it Make it Challenge – Anything Goes

I used SSS dies and stamps on this one with the exception of the woodgrain being from Lawn Fawn and the banner from MFT. I will put links below if you want to know the exact products.

I stamped with the MISTI on the banner and embossed with Versamark and detail white embossing powder. I did use the anti static powder first too…that especially helps with the fine, detail powders.

I edged everything with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I have a second card too! This was actually the first card I made for the challenge. lol I couldn’t stop with just one!

Here I used Memory Box and poppystamps dies. I inlaid the circle snowflake die and the center hanging snowflake dies. So, I’m linking up to a couple challenges for inlaying and also…

Copic Coloring and NEW SSS release!

Oh my, sharing the card I made with Simon Says Stamp’s NEW release “My Favorite”. Love the bike…love the flowers… and then critters with personality! Click on over to see the full release HERE.

SSS sent me the new Cuddly Critters stamp set to color up. I used Copic Sketch markers in the Warm grays 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. I stamped him twice, cut him out completely once and then cut just his arms out of the second image, so he could hold the heart.

The grass is Mowed Lawn and then Twisted Citron Distress inks, blended on with the mini ink blending tool, under the stitched line .

The sky is Tumbled Glass with a little Broken China, blended on with the mini ink blending tool, above the stitched line.

I die cut the frame with SSS Stitched Rectangle dies. The stitched grass line is from The SSS Stitched Slopes and Hills die set.

The heart is die cut from a Memory Box stitched heart die set.
