Hello and welcome! Today is day two of the Simon Says Stamp blog hop celebrating the Be Bold release and I’m very glad you’re here! If you’ve arrived from Lea Lawson’s blog, you’re right on track. And, if we haven’t met before you can find me here on my blog and also over on Instagram.
I have two cards to share today so let’s dive in!
Wishing You A Beautiful Day
My first card features the fun new Pretty Petals stamp set (also available in a bundle with dies). I stamped the flower and leaf outline images in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto a panel of white cardstock. Next, I stamped the layers of the bloom in Melon, Peachy, Cheeky, and Lemonade, and the leaves in Aspen Pawsitively Saturated Inks.
Using a die from the Nested Domed Arches die set, I cut out the flower, framing it within the arch. I stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, and then set the arched panel aside.
For the background, I stamped the Hand-lettered Friends background stamp in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto a panel of peach cardstock for a subtle tone-on-tone effect.
To assemble the card, I use foam tape to adhere the stamped piece on to the background and then glued the card front to a card base.
Happy Birthday
My second card features the new Lush Leaves die and Happy die. I cut the leaves four times, once from a light orange cardstock, once from a pink cardstock, and twice from white cardstock. I arranged them around a panel of white cardstock and used glue and foam dots to adhere them.
Next, I created the sentiment by cutting the detail layer from a dark pink cardstock and the shadow layer from white cardstock. I glued the two pieces together and added them to the panel with foam tape.
Last, I added a small stamped “birthday” sentiment before gluing the card front to a card base.
