Today I am sharing two projects I created using this stamp set. Here’s what they look like
I started out by stamping my images on some smooth white card stock and I colored them in with my Copic markers. I fussy-cut the image with my precision scissors. For my first card below, I also used the Everglade Collage Wafer Dies by Simon Says Stamp and an older stamp set by Newton’s Nook called Newton’s Autumn. I stamped the leaves on some white card stock, colored them in with my Copic markers and die cut the leaves using the coordinating dies. I adhered the leaves on my collage frame.
I cut an A2 size piece of some Bristol Smooth white card stock and inked it up with Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink. I used my Darice Cats embossing folder to add some cute texture to this colored background. I die-cut some white card stock with the Everglade Collage Wafer Dies and adhered this piece onto my colored and embossed background.
I assembled my card by adhering my foreground to my card base. Here’s my first card:
I couldn’t help but add that cute bow from my all-time favorite Pines & Holly die set by Newton’s Nook Designs. Here’s a little close-up:
Also added some blue enamel dots from my stash and used my white gel pen to add more details to the card to finish the design. Here’s another look:
For my second card, I created a simple one-layer birthday card using the cute images from the stamp set.
I added the balloons from the Fabulous Frenchie stamp set by Newton’s Nook. Here’s a little close-up:
Also used my white gel pen to add more details to the little pups and to the balloons to give it a whimsical touch. To finish my design, I used glossy accents to make the balloons shine!
I hope you like my projects today. Please visit Simon Says Stamp to purchase this exclusive stamp set. Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!
