Paper Rose Thank You
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! I’m delighted to share this gorgeous card with you today created by Norine Hope featuring many items from the Paper Rose collection! Read on for a brief description of the process and more photos, and enjoy!
The leaf images were stamped on the watercolor cardstock with Versafine Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder and loosely watercolored.
Once dry cut the panel down to 4” x 5.25” and die cut the shadow of the Thanks Die from the panel. Wrap with gold string and adhere this panel to a white card base. Die cut the thanks word from gold cardstock adhere in the opening in the watercolor panel. Die cut the solid leaves from navy cardstock and leaf outlines from gold cardstock and tuck into the gold string.

Distress Oxide Watercoloring Encouragement Card
Hello friends, its Nina-Marie here with you today sharing inspiration using our Simon exclusive Outline Butterflies background, along with some additional exclusives that we released in our Blossoms and Butterflies collection! This is such a great time to make and share encouragement cards.
The card is watercolored with Distress Oxides; not only are these inks amazing to ink blend with, but the rich colors also make for gorgeous watercoloring.
I was going for an ethereal style with this card, so not only did I use a myriad of colors for the butterflies, but also in the background of the card itself. Mixing Oxide inks is extremely easy, so even if you are a beginner at watercoloring, I think you’ll find this Oxide ink watercolor technique super easy and also fun!
To enhance the colors of the butterflies, I used a rainbow of Nuvo Gloss Drops on their wings, and also in the background. For sentiments, I used greetings in both the You Got This CZ Design and our Comfort and Prayers set.

Waffle Flower Crafts Easy Cloud Background & Beach Scene
Hi friends! Happy Friday! Did you know we are showcasing Waffle Flower Crafts all April 2020 long as our Simon Says Stamp Brand of the Month?!
Please join me in welcoming back special guest Rebecca Keppel who is sharing a special summery project reprising some sweet summer Waffle Flower products! Be sure to watch the video for more info and enjoy!
Hi everybody! I’m Rebecca with Waffle Flower Crafts and I’m super excited to be here on the Simon Says Stamp blog today sharing a card video featuring some new stamps and dies from Waffle Flower’s July Release. In this video, I am sharing a quick and easy way to create a fabulous puffy cloud background, perfect for a fun beach scene.
The Cloudscape Panel Die cuts a 5.5 x 4.25 frame and cuts out cloud layers on the inside. You could cut this out of white and blue cardstock and alternate the colors to create a cloudy sky. I decided to cut out Strathmore Bristol Smooth White Cardstock and ink blend with Distress Oxide ink on the edges of the cloud pieces.
When you put all the pieces back together like a puzzle you end up with a really pretty sky background that was SO fast to create. I like covering the bottom piece of the die cut with blue ink to mimic water.
Next, I stamped, colored and die cut all the images from the Fun in the Sun Combo (also from the July release). These little mice and beach accessories are so fun to move around and it’s easy to combine a bunch of them to create a cute scene.
Alternate dimensional adhesive and tape runner so that some of the characters appear closer or further away. Add your sentiment and you’re done! Using the Cloudscape Panel Die is the easiest way I’ve found to create that awesome puffy cloud background and I will be using it for MANY of my card scenes in the future!
Thank you so much for stopping by! -Rebecca
