Hello crafty friends, for today I made three clean and simple sympathy cards using the new Stylized Flower wafer die by Simon Says Stamps.
I have been obsessed with die-cut windows, transparencies, and shakers.
So I paired the Stylized Flower with basic shapes dies from Spellbinders Fluted Classic collection to die-cut decorative windows on the cards today.
Note: to die-cut all the cards in this post I used the Spellbinders Platinum Die Cutting Machine ( large format)
SSS Stylized Flower
- SSS Stylized Flower is a single cutting die that will cut out an intricate flower.
- The die-cut flower measures 2-1/2″ x 3″ inches.
- There is a coordinating stencil available and it is called SSS Stylized Flower Stencil.
Stylized Flower “with Sympathy” Card
This is a 5 x 5 inches card that features a semitransparent background ( velum) affixed to a die-cut square window.
Cardmaking Process
- First, I made the card base using white cardstock.
- Then, I used 2 dies from Fluted Classics Squares to die-cut the front panel of the card.
- Note : I opened the card base and I placed the dies on the back of the front panel so that I got a nice finish inside of the card.
- Next, I adhered a square piece of Vellum over the window in the front panel.
- I adhered the die-cut flowers on the corners and over the velllum.
- To finish, I glued a die-cut frame over the raw edges.
- The sentiment was hot foiled using Polished brass hot foil and a glimmer plate from Yana’s Tiny Sentiments.
- To embellish I used white pearls.
STYLIZED FLOWER “Sending Thoughts and Prayers” card
This is a 5×7 inches card that features a semi-transparent background (vellum) decorated with intricate die-cuts, affixed onto an oval die-cut window.
Cardmaking Process
- First, I made the card base using white cardstock.
- Then, I used 2 dies from Fluted Classics Ovals to die-cut the front panel of the card.
- Note : I opened the card base and I placed the dies on the back of the front panel so that I got a nice finish inside of the card.
- Using a die from Fluted Classics Oval, I die-cut an oval piece of Vellum and I glued over the window in the front panel.
- Next, I adhered the die-cut flowers around the edges of the velllum piece and I glued a die-cut frame over the raw edges.
- I added the sentiment from sentiments Strips Reverse Symphaty and 3 die-cut butterflies made using SSS Adeline Butterfly wafer die .
- To add colour to the butterfies, I used an SSS Blenidng Brush + SSS Surft + SSS Ocean Ink and I splattered the paper with Spellbindersd Sparkle Silk and blue ink diluted in water.
- I added white pearls to embellish.
STYLIZED FLOWER “Sending Love During this Difficult Time” card
This is a 3-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ inches slimline card that features a transparent ( acetate) background and a shaker decorated with intricate flowers.
I changed my mind many times about the color of the card so you might be able to see some pink edges underneath the white die cuts…
So this wasn’t intentional but after spending a couple of hours in the making I defo had to share this prototype.
Cardmaking Process
- First, I made the card base using white cardstock.
- Then, I used 2 dies from Fluted Classics Slinline die set to die-cut the front panel of the card.
- Note : I opened the card base and I placed the dies on the back of the front panel so that I got a nice finish inside of the card.
- Next, I trimmed two 3-1/4″ x 8-1/4″ inches pieces of acetate, I added the confetti in the middle and stick them together using SSS 1/4″ red double sided tape.
- I adhered the sheker onto the card base window and set a side using liquid glue.
- Appart, I die-cut 2 slimline frames.
- Then, I glued the flowers made using Stylized Flower wafer die over the edge of one of the frames and I glued the other frame over to cover the raw edges.
- To finish, I glued the frame with the flowers over the shecker.
- The sentiment is from Strips Reverse Symphaty.
- To embellish I used pink pearls.
I believe this combo Stylized Flower wafer die by Simon Says Stamps + Spellbinders Fluted Classic collection allowed me to add interest to these very simple compositions.
