heat embossing – A Red Letter Day

Simon Says Stamp has just unveiled their latest release, and it is filled with fresh products perfect for holiday papercrafting and beyond. I couldn’t wait to dive in and create with the stunning new products!

This clean and simple card features the brand new Peacebird stamp set and the Hopeful Peacebird wafer die set.

To create this card, I started by die cutting the Hopeful Peacebird out of Simon Says Stamp white glitter card stock. I also cut it 3 more times out of white scrap card stock. I adhered those together using liquid glue. I die cut the leaf branch 5 times out of green card stock. Next, I added glitter texture paste to the leaves to add a little sparkle. While the paste was drying, I cut a gray panel to 4″ x 5 1/4″. I layed out my die cut pieces to determine where I wanted the sentiment to be placed. I stamped the sentiment from the Peacebird stamp set with embossing ink. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and then adhered the die cuts. Lastly, I adhered the gray panel to a top folding A2 card base. A matching envelope makes this card extra special!

I have a special giveaway for one of my blog readers: the adorable Warm Thoughts stamp set ! Please leave a comment and I will pick a random winner on Sunday, November 9th.

Welcome to another day of inspiration, this time featuring the beautiful Dahlia Background stamp. This large floral is so pretty and very versatile! It could be colored with various mediums, simply stamped or stamped and embossed. It is stunning!

The Dahlia Background is the star of this card! I love this gorgeous illustration and the detail it adds to my card. I stamped it with embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder onto a kraft A2 card panel. Next, using the A2 rectangles, I diecut a frame out of white cardstock. Several flowers were cut using the Fine Floral die and a few different colors of cardstock. I adhered those to the corners of the frame. I did pop up the red flower using thin adhesive squares. To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment from the EZ Strips Everyday stamp and die set, in Simon Says Stamp Punch ink. This set gave me lots of sentiments all ready to add to lots of cards. (Such a time saver!!)

I loved this stamp so much, I created another card featuring it!

This time, I stamped the Dahlia Background stamp onto watercolor paper. Using Tim Holtz’s watercolor pencils, I watercolored the dahlias. Watercoloring is very relaxing and I don’t attempt it enough. Since I wanted the dahlias to be focus, I decided to make center step card. I used this die to create the card base and cut the image panels. The little banner is also a die from this die set. The sentiment is again from the EZ Strips Everyday stamp and die set. It fit nicely on the bottom of the card panel.

Isn’t this fun? And it folds flat to fit into a standard A2 envelope. I love how this turned out.
