Be Bold Release

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects from the fun, new Be Bold release with Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Branching Flowers, CZ Scripty Hugs

My first card features the Branching Flowers Embossing Folder with the CZ Scripty Hugs. I added a bit of subtle ink blending to the blooms and leaves for added dimension.

My next card uses the Meadow Swag die along with the Hello die from the A2 Nesting Frames die set.

SSS-Meadow Swag, A2 Nesting Frames

Both word dies look so good with matte gold on vellum along with a few clear sequins.

Wild & Free Flowers

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using the latest April card kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Wild & Free Flowers

For my first card I used the Wild & Free Flowers stamp set, stamping the bloom with Latte ink onto Buttercream and using one of the circle dies to create a window frame for it. I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock for a pop of color along with milky splash drops.

For my second card I used the Floating Flowers embossing folder, included in the kit, with Buttercream cardstock. I embossed the bloom from Wild & Free Flowers in white onto vellum and added the left over circle die-cut from the first card because I’m thrifty & nifty like that:)

Whimsy Floral

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the Floral Whimsy Stencil Set. I used several Pawsitively Saturated Ink colors.

SSS-Floral Whimsy, CZ Hi There Greetings

For the sentiment I used the CZ Hi There Greetings Stamp Set along with a few Rainbow Splash clear drops.

Mix & Match Butterflies

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the Mix & Match Butterflies stamp & die set. This set was also included in the latest March Card Kit.

SSS-Mix & Match Butterflies, CZ Basic Trio

I used the dies to create open windows for the butterflies on the background and stamped them tone on tone with matching inks & cardstock. Then I embossed a butterfly in white onto vellum and added a matte gold hello from the CZ Basic Trio die set.
