Simon Says Stamp “Just For You” Release

Posted on by maryredjr

Are you ready for another awesome release from Simon Says Stamp? Today’s release is full of all kinds of amazing products. Here is a link to the entire release: https://bit.ly/3ZR0bAs

I was given the Leaf Edges Cling stamp. It has two separate leafy stamps that can be used seperately or together. I love that they are very different from each other so I made two cards that are also very different.

For this card, I started by stenciling the leopard print from the Simon Says Stamp Animal Prints Stencil onto tan card stock with Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide. Then, I stamped the simple leafs from the Leaf Edges Cling Stamp in GinaK Grass Green Ink. I used my Copic markers to color the leaves. I love how this looked on the card. I used a deckle edge rectangle die to cut out the panel. I adhered the patterned panel to a bright green, top folding A2 card base. Next, I die cut the Love Ya sentiment and also cut out a smaller sentiment strip and adhered it to the card.

How fun is this?!

I designed a more elegant card for the second one.

I used the other leaf image from the Leaf Edges Cling stamp for this card. I stamped the leaves with embossing ink onto GinaK Black Onyx card stock. Then, I sprinkled on GinaK Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder and used my heat gun to melt it. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sassy Thankful stamp set with embossing ink. Once again, I sprinkled the gold embossing powder and melted it. Once cooled, I die cut the sentiment using the coordinating dies. I added foam tape to the back to add dimension.

Before I adhered the sentiment, I splattered gold and silver ink all over the background. I think this makes the card special! You know I love splattering. I adhered the sentiment and then adhered my finished panel to a top folding A2 card base.

As you can see, this is a very versatile stamp. I hope you check out this new release from Simon Says Stamp. I have provided my affiliate link for your shopping ease:

Indigo Sympathy Card

Posted on by maryredjr

Today I am sharing a recent sympathy card I made. I was inspired by cards on the Pinkfresh Studios webpage and also the current Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #525. Here is the sketch:

And here is the card I created:

I used the following products to create my card:

~Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Vines Die and Washi Tape

~Pinkfresh Studio Mini Slimline Essentials Dies

~Unity Stamp Company May Hope Sustain You stamp set

~GinaK In the Navy Ink

~sequins and paper from from my stash

I really like all of the texture I created with the different layers of die cutting.

For me, sympathy cards are difficult to make. It was nice to have a sketch for inspiration. Do you have a go to design for sympathy cards? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks!

Peppermint Mocha Season

Posted on by maryredjr

I had so much fun creating this card for the Coffee Loving Cardmaker’s Fall/Winter blog hop!

My entry

I started by stamping this adorable image from Stamplorations recent release with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Then, I used my Copic markers to color it. I really enjoyed creating my mocha swirl inside the cup! Since I don’t have dies, I needed to fussy cut my colored image. My background was created by die cutting a tan piece of cardstock with Lawn Fawn’s Quilted Backdrop and adhered that to my card base. I added foam tape to the back of my cup image to give my card some dimension. Lastly, I added sparkly washi tape to add some more detail to my card.

I think I am ready for Peppermint Mocha season! How about you?

Divinity Designs: Is it a Match Made in Heaven?

Posted on by maryredjr

I certainly hope so! I am so thrilled to have joined Divinity Designs as a guest designer. I have always been a huge fan of their unique dies and I appreciate all of their uplifting stamps and sentiments.

This month they have released the Twist and Pop die. This die helps you to create a fun, pop up feature to the inside of your card!

For my card I used the Great Faith stamp/die duo for the florals and sentiments. I really love the hibiscus image, so I stamped it in a light ink to create a floral background. I’m so pleased at how this turned out. I stamped and Copic colored several more of the hibiscus images and then die cut them to place on my card.

Here are the other supplies I used on this card : A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer, Oval Dies, Pierced Oval Dies and the Twist and Pop with Layers die.

Here is another card I created from the new release. This card features the My World stamp/die duo. This set contains lots of sentiments that would be perfect for Mother’s Day as well as some pretty rose images. I also incorporated the Delicate Doily Die that I decided to use the inlaid die-cutting technique. I have been creating lots of “thinking of you” cards during this pandemic. I believe this card would be perfect to send to one of my far away relatives.

For this card I used the following additional supplies from Divinity Designs LLC: Shabby Rose Collection paper pack, Bitty Blossoms Dies , Rectangle Dies, Pierced Rectangle Dies and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.

For this card, I really wanted the Delicate Doily Die to be the focus. I die cut 2 doilies and offset layered them. I stamped the sentiment from the Great Faith Stamp/Die Duo directly onto the top layer of the doily. Lots of rectangle layers to complete the background.

For this card I used the following additional supplies from Divinity Designs LLC: Shabby Rose Collection paper pack, Rectangle Dies, Pierced Rectangle Dies and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.

I hope you are inspired to check out the new release from Divinity Designs. Thanks for stopping by!
