Simon Says Stamp Falling For You Release | "You Have the Biggest Heart" Card (video)

Hey friends!

Last Friday a bunch of designers took part in a mega blog hop celebrating the latest Simon Says Stamp Release, Falling For You. You can see the baby card I created with some of the new stamps and dies in the release HERE.

Today I have another new card showcasing the Lila's Heart Stamp Set and coordinating Hearts For Lila Dies as well as the new Falling Hearts Background Stamp. I framed up the sweet design with my favorite Stitched Rectangle Dies stacked up in a neutral tone to keep the focus on the image and greeting.

I stamped the sweet image of the girl holding the heart from the Lila's Heart Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored it in with Copic Markers. I die cut the image with the coordinating Hearts For Lila Dies. I stamped the hearts from the Spring Showers Stamp Set and colored them in before die cutting with the coordinating Spring Showers Dies. I finished the hearts with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker.

For the background and frame, I die cut My Favorite Things Whip Cream Cardstock using the two largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I did this three times. (Set aside 2 of the rectangles for other project(s).) I used the MISTI Stamping Tool with the Falling Hearts Background Stamp and stamped the background image on the rectangle with Delicata Golden Glitz Ink. I cut apart the long greeting, stacked the words one on top of another and stamped the greeting on the stamped background using SSS Black Ink.

I die cut some clouds from smooth white cardstock and vellum using the SSS Flat Bottom Clouds and layered them along the bottom edge of the stamped background, then tucked the die cut girl image into the clouds. I glued the two small die cut hearts below the stamped greeting using the Zig Glue Pen and the Quickstik Tool for perfect placement.

I adhered the rectangle scene to the center of a white card base and glued the frame around the scene, adhering the other two frames on top to finish the card.

• "Welcome Baby" Card featuring Simon Says Stamp Falling For You Stamps & Dies (video)

Congratulations to Melissa DeMonic!, the winner of the Simon Says Stamp prize from THIS blog post!

Simon Says Stamp Falling For You Blog Hop | "Welcome Baby" Card (video)

This is a mega hop today with lots of stops and lots of inspiration!

I created a baby themed card using the new Baby Party Animals Stamp Set, Party Animals Dies, Diagonal Stripes Background Stamp, and Falling Stars Background Stamp from the new release. I colored the gift packages and banners in pink for a baby girl but this same card design would be so easy to replicate in blues for a baby boy card as well!

I stamped the kitty, banner and gift packages from the Baby Party Animals Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored in the images with Copic Markers (the individual marker colors are listed and linked below in supplies) then die cut them with the coordinating Party Animals Dies.

I die cut a frame from SSS Fog Cardstock using the two largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I die cut SSS Smoke Cardstock using the second largest rectangle die. From the SSS Fog Cardstock rectangle (from the frame) I die cut a sloping landscape using the Stitched Slopes and Hills Dies. I stamped the frame with Diagonal Stripes Background Stamp using the SSS Fog Ink. I stamped the solid rectangle with the new Falling Stars Background Stamp using SSS White Pigment Ink.

I finished the greeting by stamping "baby" from the Baby Party Animals Stamp Set on the sloping landscape using SSS Fog Ink.

Lawn Fawn | "You're The Coolest" Card (video)

I'm looking forward to warm, lazy summer days filled with lounging around the pool, sunny skies, the smell of freshly cut grass and popsicles! 

The popsicles in the Best Pun Ever Stamp Set and the adorable little faces customize the frozen treats to make the cutest popsicles ever! I framed up the popsicles with a frame created with the Small Stitched Rectangles Die Collection.

I stamped the small and large popsicle images from the Best Pun Ever Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in with Copic Markers (the individual marker colors are listed and linked below in supplies). I stamped the hearts from the Best Pun Ever Stamp Set and A Birdie Told Me Stamp Set, colored them in and die cut all the images with the coordinating Best Pun Ever Dies and A Birdie Told Me Dies. 

I added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker over each popsicle and embellished the eyes with the Sakura Black Glaze Pen and dots to the cheeks with the White Glaze Pens.

I stamped a thought bubble from the A Birdie Told Me Stamp Set using the Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Ink. I stamped a greeting from the Best Pun Ever Stamp Set using Lawn Fawn Mermaid, Freshly Cut Grass, and Sunflower Ink. I die cut the greeting using a A Birdie Told Me Die.

I created the frame by die cutting SSS Green Apple Cardstock and SSS Mint Cardstock using Small Stitched Rectangles Die Collection. I stamped the green cardstock using one of the borders from the Sharp Backdrops Stamp Set using Freshly Cut Grass.

Bella Blvd 2015 Design Team | Spring Kitchen Linens

Introductions are happening over on the Bella Blvd Blog and today you can read a bit about me (if you don't already know) and see a couple of pictures of some Bella Blvd fabric projects. More photos on my projects (plus information on each) is shown below in this blog post. Be sure to check out the Bella Blvd Blog to learn more about all the 2015 designers!

I love changing out my kitchen linens seasonally from my favorite fabrics plus I love fabric napkins as a fabulous “green” option as opposed to paper products! To welcome in the spring and summer months I combined my favorite fabrics from the Sunny Happy Skies, Summer Breeze, and Snapshots collections for a set of quilted placemats, napkins, a quilted potholder and an embellished towel. 

For the quilted placemats I used a free tutorial for Patchwork Placemats from Sew4Home.com. I mixed and matched my favorite 2 1/2” fabric strips from the Bella Blvd collections for the patchwork border along the right side of the placemats with my all-time favorite floral print from the Sunny Happy Skies Collection. I backed each of the placemats with a different tone-on-tone print and used a blue stripe fabric to bind each of them.

The napkins all a single piece of fabric featuring mitered corners which give a professional looking finish for even casual napkins. I love the way the mitering looks on the backside. I topstitched twice around each napkin. The napkins measure approximately 16” square. I loosely followed a tutorial from THIS book from Sweetwater (another of my favorite fabric companies).

I love the simplicity of simple embellished kitchen towels that match the rest of the kitchen linens. I took a basic white tea towel and using THIS tutorial (and adjusting the measurements for the width of the tea towel) I made a cheerful towel with lovely prairie points that brightens up the kitchen!

I finished the kitchen collection with a double potholder made with leftover fabric scraps from all the other projects. The back of the potholder is the same patchwork 2 1/2” strips from the placemats, the pockets are my favorite floral print and I used a strip of yellow tone-on-tone fabric for the front. When sewing potholders, make sure you use a product like Insul-Bright instead of traditional batting to protect your hands from hot dishes!

Lawn Fawn | Stitched Squares Stackables Dies (video) + GIVEAWAY winner

Welcome

Today the Lawn Fawn Design Team is showcasing the Large Stitched Square Stackables Dies and Small Stitched Square Stackables Dies. These are great additions to the Lawn Fawn stitched stackables dies collection. I combined one of the squares and a circle on yesterday's card share HERE.

I die cut 9 squares from shades of blue Pint Sized Beachside 6x6 papers using a Small Stitched Square Stackables Die. Then I created my own "window" frame by combining a Small Stitched Rectangle Die with a Small Stitched Square Stackables Die. I die cut the square from the rectangle 9 times and then adhered the patterned paper squares to the card base using the frame as a guide.

I stamped images from the Let's Play Stamp Set, Year Two Stamp Set, Gleeful Gardens Stamp Set, and Wheelie Like You Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored in the designs with Copic Markers. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and adhered them behind the frame to appear like they are "peeking in", "hanging out" or "flying through" the frames.

I adhered the frame to the card and stamped a greeting from the Let's Play Stamp Set using Black Licorice Ink.

Lawn Fawn | Wheelie Like You + Gingham Backdrops (video)

Welcome to the April Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week!

Today the Lawn Fawn Design Team is showcasing the new Wheelie Like You Mini Stamp Set, coordinating Wheelie Like You Dies, and the Gingham Backdrops Stamp Set. I combined these with a Small Stitched Square Stackable Die, a Large Stitched Circle Stackable Die and Small Stitched Circle Stackables Die for a cute square shaker card!

To create the frame for the shaker, I die cut SSS Sea Glass Cardstock using a Small Stitched Square Stackable Die and Small Stitched Circle Stackables Die. I used the MISTI Stamping Tool to perfectly line up and stamp a Gingham Backdrops pattern on the frame using LF Mermaid Ink.

I die cut another square from white cardstock and a transparency using the same Small Stitched Square Stackable Die. I die cut a circle frame from white cardstock using a Large Stitched Circle Stackable Die and Small Stitched Circle Stackables Die and I die cut a circle for the inside of the shaker from SSS Fog Cardstock.

I stamped the critters and the wheel from the Wheelie Like You Mini Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored in the images with Copic Markers, and die cut the stamped designs with the coordinating Wheelie Like You Dies.

I stamped the greeting from the Wheelie Like You Mini Stamp Set on vellum using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder, the heart and embossed with rouge embossing powder, and the thought bubble from the A Birdie Told Me Stamp Set with white embossing powder. I die cut the greeting bubble using the coordinating A Birdie Told Me Dies.

To put the shaker together, I adhered the SSS Fog Cardstock circle to the white square, using the frame to line it up. I adhered a critter and the wheel to the circle. I adhered the transparency to the back of the frame, the white circle frame to the front of the square frame and the other critter under the edge of the circle on the front of the frame. I glued the greeting on the front of the frame as well. I adhered foam adhesive around all four sides on the back of the shaker frame and filled the shaker with seed beads and PPP Red Heart Confetti. I placed the back of the shaker to the frame and adhered the whole thing to a 4.25" square card base.

Lawn Fawn | Critters In The Jungle (video)

Welcome to the Lawn Fawn April Inspiration Week!

Today the Lawn Fawn Design Team is showcasing the Critters In The Jungle Stamp Set and coordinating Critters In The Jungle dies. I combined these cute critters with some Distress Ink background techniques to create this fun jungle-themed scene card!

I stamped all the images from the Critters In The Jungle Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored in the images with Copic Markers (the individual marker colors are listed and linked below in supplies). I die cut all the images with the coordinating Critters In The Jungle dies.

I created the frame for the jungle scene using the Large Stitched Rectangle Dies and Small Stitched Rectangle Dies. I inked up the inside rectangle with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and Salty Ocean Distress Ink, blending until I got a nice smooth transition in color. I dripped water on the "sky" using a paintbrush dipped in water and let the water wick away the ink. I set the piece aside to air dry for about 20 minutes.

I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Grassy Border Die and inked up the grass with Crushed Olive Distress Ink and Forest Moss Distress ink. 

I stamped the greeting from the Critters In The Jungle Stamp Set on one layer of grass using Versamark Ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder.

Next, I assembled and adhered the elements to create a scene on the card base and adhered the frame with foam adhesive.
