Stamp Simply May 2024 New Release- Eucalyptus Silhouettes

 

Hi Friends!

Today, I am sharing a very card designed using the brand new release stamp set, Eucalyptus Silhouettes from Stamp Simply (this set also has a coordinating die set and comes as a bundle). 

Sometimes you need to a quick sympathy card and this one was very easy to create:

Using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and a stencil brush, apply ink over a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of white cardstock (to resemble clouds- this is hard to see in the photo).  Heat set the ink with a heat tool.

Ink the Eucalyptus Silhouette images using a variety of green inks and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock around the edges.

De-static an area in the upper right hand part of the panel with an embossing powder tool, ink the sympathy sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Trim the panel to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”, mount onto light green cardstock, trim and mount onto pale blue cardstock, trim and mount onto a white card base.

Add a strip of the white scallop braid trim to the card front and a strip of blue gingham designerpaper along the inside left hand side of the card base to finish off the card.

Stamp Simply May 2024 New Release- Daisy Pitcher Sending Cheer

 

Hi Friends!

Today, I am sharing a card designed using one of the brand new release stamp sets, Daisy Pitcher Bundle from Stamp Simply. 

I love the Daisy Pitcher Bundle- it is so bright and cheery!  There are several different sentiments that will work for cards year round.

To create this card:

Using the Interwine 3D embossing folder, emboss a piece of white cardstock, trim to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”, adhere to a piece of green cardstock.

Add a piece of the eyelet lace, and layer a 2” x 4” piece of the yellow gingham patterned paper over the top of the lace.

Adhere a piece of sage twill ribbon over the panel and wrap the ends of the ribbon behind the panel before mounting it onto light blue cardstock.

Mount the entire card front panel to a white card base.

Add a strip of the yellow gingham patterned paper to the inside of the card base.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the daffodil pitcher image along with the sentiment from the Daffodil Pitcher Bundle with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the sentiment with the Fishtail Sentiment Banners die and mount onto the upper left hand part of the card front with dimensional foam.

Water-color the daisy pitcher image with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die.

Mount the floral image to the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

Sunflower Season- To Everything There Is A Season

 

Hi Friends!

I am thankful to be back to designing cards again!  The last few months have been a whirlwind of emotion as well as additional physical work since my beloved hubby went to be with the Lord!  He did so much around our home with the yard work as well as vehicle maintenance.  

The Lord has given me the strength to do some of the work that he used to handle and has blessed me with others who are helping me get the jobs done. 

In the meantime, I have not had time to create (plus felt that I had lost my mojo).  This week I had dental surgery and had to take it easy so I decided to take some time to create a few cards using Stamp Simply stamps and other supplies.

Today I am sharing a floral card featuring the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps- Sunflower Season Bundle along with the Echo Park Farmer’s Market 6x6 paper pad and other Stamp Simply ribbon, dies, etc.

The Sunflower Season stamp set is the Floral Stamp of the Week and tomorrow is the last day of the sale.  This is one of my favorite florals from Stamp Simply- I love sunflowers and the fonts on the verses and sentiments in this fun set.

I was able to incorporate the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #187 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge into the design (diagonal Nature-Green-Die Cut or Punch).  

I have owned the Sunflower Season set for a while and it was designed several years ago (one of the requirements of The Retro Rubber Challenge Blog is to use stamps sets that are over one year old or older).

I am also entering this card into the Word Art Wednesday #553-#554 “Anything Goes”Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will visit the Stamp Simply blog along with the other challenge sites- gorgeous inspiration from all!

This card was fairly simple to create- the sunflower and sentiment verse images were stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink,  then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 

The sunflower image was colored with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die.

The Echo Park Farmers Market 6x6 designer paper was trimmed before layering onto white cardstock, trimmed and layered again onto black cardstock.

After heat embossing the sentiments from the Sunflower Season on white cardstock, they were die cut with the medium die from the Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Rectangle dies.

The sentiment panel was mounted onto black cardstock and trimmed close to the edge before mounting onto the layered designer card panel.

The black and white gingham ribbon along with strands of Kraft Baker’s Twine were added (wrapping the ends behind the panel).

Mount the entire panel onto a white card base.

Adhere the Sunflower image with dimensional foam and finish off the card with a kraft twine bow and button (threaded with Natural Burlap String).
