Cherished Friends In a Wonky Heart

I've made a card using a new Simon Says Stamp die, Wonky Hearts die...and some Distress Oxide inks...

I smeared wetted distress oxide inks onto watercolor paper, dried, then die cut the heart from the colored panel, then layered three times.  I added a Simon sentiment from the Friends of Life stamp set, along with three tiny, glossy accented hearts.  I masked, then stamped the background with the Simon You Matter Background stamp.  Here's a close up...

Wonky is fun...and pretty:)!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Floral Sparkle Friends

Simon Says Stamp just came out with a brand new release last week, Cherished!  I made a card last night using one of the pretty new dies, Floral Sparkle...

I die cut the Floral Sparkle die a couple times...once throught the top panel, and then on strip that I adhered underneath the top panel.  I added a bottom piece of cardstock that I had put lots of tombow adhesive, then added die cut pieces of the flowers, leaves and dots in various blue and green paint chips...I matched the blue with one of the Simon inks for the sentiment.  I adhered all those pieces(the card panel and two strips), now adhered together, onto a white card.  Here's a close up...

Pretty and simple...and pretty simple:)!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Happy Birthday Tulips

I made a birthday card with a pretty flower stamp from the Simon Says Stamp Mom and Dad Icons stamp set...

These flowers are whimsical, but they look like tulips to me, so that's what I'M calling them:)!  I stamped them on a piece of Simon vellum(LOVE THIS VELLUM!), embossed with fine gold embossing powder, and colored the flowers and leaves from behind with markers.  I wrapped the vellum around the sides of a white panel, and popped up a stamped top panel and small bottom panel over the flowers.  Attached the whole thing onto a card.  Here's a close up to show you the pretty gold:)!...

Red tulips...with gold...LOVE!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Happy Dad Day

A Happy Father's Day card...just a little different take on the wording:)!...

  I used the new Simon Says Stamp Big Dad die and some recycled silver embossed cardstock from a perfume box(you COULD score some silver cardstock, too:)!!)...I DO love to recycle!!  I cut a slice of the cardstock big enough to fit the die, then die cut each letter of the "DAD" in a different direction on that cardstock.  I thought this die cut "DAD" looked a little industrial, and I liked it:)!...

I used pieces of a sentiment from an older Simon stamp set, Father's Day, embossed in silver onto a brown piece of Doodlebug linen cardstock. I then adhered the die cut onto the cardstock panel.  

Simple...but then most dads are...in a good way:)!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
