Hello everyone, today I’m taking part of a blog hop – Giveaway to share ideas and inspiration with the latest Simon Says Stamp release.
The release called DieCember®! offers 33 awesome dies and stunning glitter paper perfect for die cutting. Follow on Instagram with the hashtag #sssdiecember.
Have a look at thewhole release here!
I fell in love with “Oh Hello There Wafer Die”designed by Kristina Werner for Simon Says Stamps and I make 4 projects to share with you today
To make this card, I stamped the flowers from SSS Friends of Life Stamp Set with Clear Versamark Ink and Nuvo Fine Detail embossing powder and I applied 2 watercolor washes: 1. Lapiz Lazuli Genuine, 2. Blue Apatite Genuine Watercolor paints by Daniel Smith.
I stamped the leaves using Faded Jeans Distress Ink and I use a water brush over the Distress Ink to soften the color.
I also applied Iridescent Sunstone Daniel Smith ‘s Watercolor paint to the center of the flowers. I love the contrasts between the dark blue shades and this soft peach color.
I wanted to add dimension the word “hello”, so I die cut it 3 times form navy blue cardstock and I glue them all together, then I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze all over and allowed to dry overnight.
For the card below I stamped the image from Floral Bliss Stamp Set,on 300grams cold – cold pressed watercolor paper with Simon Says Stamp Black ink and I applied color with Zigs ( Kuretake Clean Colour real Brush).
I used Craft Perfect Black Mirror Cardstock to die cut the sentiment ( Oh hello there)
I also used a gold watercolor paint from Kuretake Starry Colours to add gold accents to the flowers, it is very hard to show in pictures but I love the golden shimmer it adds to the projects.
I also added craft foam at the back of the front panel and I also used Wonky Rectangles Wafer Dies to create that beautiful stitched frame around the edge of the card.
Below a very simple watercolor composition. I used the darker blue pen, a dark green and also a black pen from Nuvo Brush Scrip pens ( water- based) and I apply the pen directly on dry watercolor paper. Then I used a Silver Velvet brush #2 to wash the color.
I also add a blue watercolor paint by Daniel Smith and Schmincke: Horadam Watercolour Paint: 5ml: Titanium Opaque White to add light.
To create that beautiful stitched frame around the edge of the card I used Wonky Rectangles Wafer Dies
I couldn’t resist making a super easy Christmas project too using also Swirling Star Trail Wafer Dies by Simon Says Stamps. I sie dut readily the 3″ circle die cut to create the tag below.

Gorgeous colors and use of the dies. I especially like the first card and the tag. Great ideas – thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
lut those, especially Oh Hello there
Oh, you went a fun and different direction with these! With all the snow scenes thus far, it was nice to see how these can be applied for different seasons. And what a way to do it: the blue watercolor flowers are gorgeous, plus the sunstone paint in the center is perfect. I fell in love with that color for sunsets, but now I think I'm going to have to use it on all my flower centers too!
I like that new die as well. Nice job!
The first card is my favorite of all!! Thanks for sharing L
I love that you only used a part of the Oh Hello There die, that was my first thought when I saw it. The way you did you use the whole thing in the third card is just eye popping wow. Love it and all the others. Thanks for sharing.
Love all your cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your cards are truly works of art! I love your watercoloring. I adore the Wonky Stitched Rectangles! Aren't they cool! They really add a unique touch!
