Best Year Yet | Simon Says Stamp

Published on May 9, 2023May 9, 2023 by Rowhouse Greetings2 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with a project featuring the Best Year Yet stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. This stamp was part of the May 2023 card kit which will probably sell out shortly, but the individual elements are available for sale on the Simon Says Stamp website. So don’t panic if the card kit is sold out – you can still buy this stamp set on its own.

I liked this stamp because the sentiments and images are basic and I can easily put together a birthday card when I need one. It seems like I never have a birthday card when I need one so this stamp set filled that need. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Step by Step Instructions for Best Year Yet

Cut card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ for a top fold card.
Cut a piece of coordinating cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ (I used Simon Says Stamp 100# cardstock in Sunshine).
Die cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock using the middle die in the A2 Marquee Die Set. Stamp image and sentiment using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink.
Color image as shown using Copic markers (see list below).
Assemble layers as shown. Add sequins if desired (I used Surprise Party by Simon Says Stamp) using Connect Glue. I also found it easier to pour the sequins in to a triangular tray. The sequins stayed in one place and were easy to pour back into the bag. Well worth the small investment!

Now wasn’t that easy? Hope you enjoyed today’s project. See you again soon.

Supplies

COPICS: BG01, BG02, B00, RV13, RV14, RV17 (big present); Y35, Y38, YG03, YG07, G09 (small present); RV10, RV14, Y35, Y38, B02 (cake, candle & plate)

HEY FRIENDS! I was looking through my stash and came across the Anita Jeram Thoughfulness Bird stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. I purchased this stamp set with the intent of making holiday gift tags, but now it’s April and I’m just getting around to coloring the image. I decided that image would make a perfectly adorable springtime card so that’s what I did! As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Happy Dance | Pinkfresh Studio

Published on April 26, 2023April 26, 2023 by Rowhouse Greetings2 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with a new project and a new Copic coloring video featuring the Happy Dance stamp set by Pinkfresh Studio. Last weekend, I attended Simon Says Create in Columbus, Ohio, and did A LOT of shopping, coming home with many new-to-me stamp sets and dies for upcoming projects. So this is the first of many projects featuring the recent additions to my stash. For today’s project, I also fired up my Glimmer Hot Foil System (Spellbinders) to create a subtle hot foiled background.

As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Step by Step Instructions

NOTE: If you do not have a hot foil system (either Spellbinders or Gemini), you could substitute a suitable embossing folder for the hot foiled background.

Preheat your Glimmer Hot Foil System.
Cut card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ for a top fold card.
Cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″.
Foil the Hammermill cardstock using the Lush Vines Foil Plate and Opal Glimmer Foil following directions for the Glimmer Hot Foil System. Glue foiled cardstock to front of cardbase using Beacon’s 3-in-1 Craft Glue. Set aside until final card assembly.
Die cut the Ornate Oval Frame from a piece of pale pink cardstock. Die cut a second oval frame from Neenah Classic Crest 110#. Glue the die cuts together using Connect Glue.
Use Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black to stamp image from Happy Dance stamp set on a piece of Hammermill cardstock. Color image with Copic markers (see video). Die cut image using Happy Dance Coordinating Die. Apply foam squares or foam tape to the back of the die cut image and set aside for final assembly.
Cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock to approximately 1.5″ x 4.25″ and use a straight border die to create a cut pattern along the top. I used Lacy Edgers 1 by Pinkfresh Studio which has been retired, but any straight border die will work. Apply a thin strip of glitter cardstock below the die cut edge.
Stamp sentiment using Versafine Clair Ink in Nocturne.
Assembly layers as shown.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project! See you again soon!

Girl with Flower | Lee Holland Art

Published on April 25, 2023April 24, 2023 by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! It’s time for another edition of Nancy and Jill Color Together! As you know, Jill Killeen of Killeen House Studio asked me to participate in a monthly challenge with her where we would color the same image and see how we each interpreted it. This month was my turn to pick the image and I chose Girl with Flower by Lee Holland Art. If you want to play along, the digital image is available in the Lee Holland Art shop on Etsy. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

This is such a sweet image that I couldn’t resist. It’s been awhile since I colored something other than cute animals so I have to admit that this one took me a few tries. Coloring hair and skin is still a challenge for me and I just need to put in the time practicing to make it better. But I was pleased with the coloring of the dress — the pleats in particular — so there’s that!

As you can see, Jill chose a darker color scheme to match her design paper. This is an image that works either way. Check out Jill’s blog post for more information about her card.
