Sympathy Fern

I used the beautiful new Simon Says Stamp Curled Fern Frond die set, from their Moments in Time release, to make a sympathy card...

I die cut the fern in a green cardstock, then another couple times with vellum.  I positioned them on a textured colored panel, then added a stamped, silver embossed and die cut sentiment.  I added some dots that I had made with glossy accents, for some added interest.  Here's a close up...

I don't know about you, but sympathy cards are always hard for me to make...it's nice to have one for one of those unexpected and sad moments in time, in advance.  I hope you are having a great week..so thankful for you...please take care!  

Thank you so much for visiting me today, I hope you go into Friday and this coming weekend fantastically!! Hugs!! Lisa

Rainbow of Butterflies

I have made a card with a pretty new Simon Says Stamp die set of butterflies, from their newest release, Moments in Time...

I die cut all the butterflies from patterned paper, as well as from vellum, for an extra layer beneath the patterned one.  I then put some foam squares(cut in 1/2) behind each butterfly...the patterned and the vellum butterflies... 

I used some very thin black wire, and wound it around each butterfly, twisting it behind the butterfly and then giving each a set of antennas with the ends of the twisted wire.  I adhered them to a panel that I had run through my Big Shot with a piece of burlap on it, between two rubber embossing mats, giving the panel some texture.  I added a stamped and die cut sentiment, adhering between the rainbow of butterflies.  

Here's a close up...

This card was alot of fun!  Hope you're having a great start to your week, and hope you have some time to have fun in your creative space!  

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

A Daisy Thank You

I have made a thank you card with an older much loved Simon Says Stamp daisy die, along with a sentiment die, frame die and background stamp from Simon's newest release, Moments in Time!

I die cut the daisy, colored the center with a marker, and layered the stem and added some brushed on green ink on the stem for depth.  I die cut and layered the Giggle Thank You sentiment with black glosssy cardstock, and stamped the background through a ripped piece of paper, torn in a rounded square over the card, with a light gray ink.  I die cut and layered the frame with the same black glossy cardstock as the sentiment.  I adhered all the elements onto the card, adhering the flower at a significant angle...just liked it.

Below is a close up...

Hope you have a great weekend...I am hoping for a great one, myself!!

Thank you so much for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Happy Cover

I have made a birthday card with one of the amazing new Simon Says Stamp dies, from their new Moments in Time release!...

I die cut the sentiment cover from white cardstock, and layered.  I cut strips of colored cardstock, and adhered them to a piece of paper.  I adhered the white die cut sentiment onto the colored strips and added a couple cut out sentiment strips from a Simon set of strips.  I added black glossy die cut letters int5o the spaces on the die.  Here's a close up...

This die has so many possibilities.  There is a coordinating set of sentiment stamps from this releae, that has perfect sentiments for lots of different occasions, and I've linked it below,  Hope you are having a great start to your first week in June!  `
