Simon Says Stamp | Hey There

Hello there, I hope you are well! Today I have a card to share using some new sets from the Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness release which is out now. The main focus is the Squeeze You set which features lemons. I always think of lemons being quite summery but they can be used for lots of occasions!

I started off my card by stamping the main image from the Simon Says Stamp Squeeze You Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I then stamped the flowers onto a separate piece of cardstock. I placed the Simon Says Stamp Squeeze You Stencils over the images to colour them in using ink blending. 

I used Altenew Pocketful of Sunshine Fresh Dye Inks (all four shades) for the lemons, Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks (the three lightest) for the leaves and stems, and Altenew Baby Pink Fresh Dye Ink for the flowers. I added dots of Copic Marker Y17 and Y15 to the lemons for some texture and interest. I die cut the main image panel using the largest die from the new Simon Says Stamp Stitched Arches Dies. The flowers were fussy cut out using scissors. 

I took the 'hey there' sentiment from the new Simon Says Stamp Paper Cut Messages Stamp Set and stamped it on top of the panel using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I then cut a little bit off the bottom of the panel. I die cut two more of the same arch, this time from Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock. I scored a line towards the top of one of the arches to create a hinge. 

I added adhesive to the hinge and then adhered it to the front of the other arch to create an arch shaped card base. The image panel was adhered on top. I adhered the flowers next, using a little liquid glue in the centres and folded up the edges slightly for some dimension. To finish, I added Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems to the centres of the flowers and then added white gel pen highlights to the letters on the sentiment.

Those arch dies are great as they have stitching on both side of the cut line - so both the positive and negative of the die cuts will have the stitching on! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!
