Hello! Today, I’m delighted to be sharing three projects as part of a Simon Says Stamp blog hop showcasing products from the FRIENDLY FROLIC release.
My first project showcases the Folk Dance die, with which I used the inlay technique (one of my favorites).
- To create a frame for the pieces, I die-cut the Folk Dance panel several times from black cardstock and adhered the layers together. I backed the panel with white cardstock.
- I used the Folk Dance die to cut the leaves and petals from colored cardstock and adhered the pieces into the frame.
- I adhered the assembly to a card base.
- I stamped the Big Thanks sentiment on a white cardstock strip with black ink.
- I die-cut the Big Happy sentiment and applied it to the strip.
- I adhered the strip to the card.
My second card features the Diamond Pattern die.
- I inked a cardstock panel (masking as I went along) with Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Twisted Citron, and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks and cut it with the Diamond Pattern die.
- I adhered the panel over a similarly colored piece so that the diamond pattern revealed a second layer of color.
- I added a sentiment cut with the You Da Best die.
My final project combines an image from the Plantiful Puns stamp set with the Diamond Pattern stamp.
- I stamped the Plantiful Puns image and colored it with Copic markers.
- I stamped the card front panel with the Diamond Pattern stamp using Versamark ink.
- I cut a circle in the panel and adhered the plant image from behind.
- I heat-embossed the Plantiful Puns sentiment on a strip, which I adhered just under the plant image.
- I adhered the panel to a dry-embossed card base.
