Sunflower Seasons

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick fall card designed with the Sunflower Season Bundle and the Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Scripture stamp set along with lace, paper and other supplies- all from Stamp Simply!

To create this card:

Trim a piece of the Wood Textures 6x6 paper to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.

De-static the wood textures paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Scripture stamp set with Versafine Black Onyx ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing powder has cooled, mount the panel onto a piece of chocolate cardstock, trim close to the edge.

Add a strip of Venise Lace and adhere a piece of the chocolate pleated ribbon (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the ends behind the panel).

Mount the entire panel onto a white card base.

Adhere a 1” x 5 ¼” strip of the wood texture designer paper to the inside of the card base (I like to do this to use up some of the scraps).

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the sunflower image with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, watercolor the flower image with water-based markers and distress inks.

Use the coordinating Sunflower Season die to die cut the sunflower (also die cut another image from white cardstock to layer behind the colored image).

Mount the sunflower image to the card front with dimensional foam.

Add a few bronze rhinestones to the upper right hand corner to finish off the card.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #661-#662 Anything Goes Challenge .

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing black and white cards with a “pop” of color.   Plus, Stamp Simply is a Super Sponsor of the National Coffee Day 2023 Blog Hop!

Plus, it is time for the  National Coffee Day 2023 Blog Hop and Stamp Simply is a Super Sponsor!

I decided to create a black and white with a "pop" of color coffee card using the Have A Cup on Us Bundle along with the Sunflower Season stamp set (using a fun masking technique). 

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online challenges, so I am linking this card to the Can You Handle the Pressure “Anything Goes with optional twist Bees/Beehive” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, or the National Coffee Day 2023 Blog Hop , I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Emboss a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of white cardstock with the Sizzix 3D Texture Fades A6 Intertwine Embossing Folder.

Trim the panel to approx. 4” x 5 ¼” and mount onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of black cardstock.

De-static a piece of the Sunset Ink Drops paper (approx. 2” x 4” piece) with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from Have A Cup On Us with Versafine Onyx Black, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

FYI- my piece of ink drops paper is approx. 2” x 4” and is part of a cut off from a previous project- I love using up my scraps!

Mount onto black cardstock (approx. 2 ¼”x 4 ¼”) and adhere to the embossed panel. 

Wrap a piece of the black and white baker’s twine over the panel and adhere the entire panel onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” white card base.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the coffee cup stamp from Have A Cup on Us with Versafine Onyx Black, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, stamp the coffee cup image onto a sticky note or masking paper, carefully cut out the cup to keep the outside covered, and mask around the coffee cup image.

De-static the coffee cup image with an embossing powder took, ink the sunflower image from Sunflower Season with Versafine Onyx Black, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Remove the masking paper and die cut the coffee cup with the coordinating Have a Cup On Us die. 

Color the sunflower with yellow water-based markers and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Finish off the card with the black and white baker’s twine  bow and a few black rhinestones.

Sunflower Season

 

Hi Friends!

This week the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing their favorite stamp sets.  I always have trouble picking a favorite since I love all of the stamp sets at Stamp Simply!

I love the sunflower image as well as the fonts on the sentiments in the Sunflower Season stamp set.  I also love the coordinating die in the Sunflower Season bundle and how it matches the floral image perfectly.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and since sunflowers are also one of my favorite flowers, I am participating with The Flower Challenge #81 “Use Your Favorite Flower” Challenge.  I am also playing along with the Word Art Wednesday #599-#600 Anything Goes Challenge.

 

To create this card:

Ink the sunflower image using Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die.

Die cut two additional flowers from plain white cardstock and layer behind the colored image.

Trim a piece of Craft Consortium Ink Drops – Earth designer paper to 4” x 5 ¼”. I loved this particular piece of paper since it looked like a painted landscape and thought it would be a perfect backdrop for the sunflower :-)

De-static the lower right hand area and upper left hand area with an embossing powder tool.

Ink the sentiments from Sunflower Season with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto the prepared areas, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Mount onto a piece of black cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

Mount the die cut sunflower image with dimensional foam.

Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the petals and add a few rhinestones to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Sunflower Season Bundle (Stamp Simply)

Inks/Mediums: Versafine Onyx Black, Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker

Cardstock/Paper: White, Black, Craft Consortium Ink Drops 6x6 Paper Pad- Earth
