Simon Says Stamp - STAMPtember® 2022 Blog Party



Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember® 2022 Release Blog Party! With so many fabulous choices, it was super hard to choose what to use for my blog party project and I surprised myself by going for a simple stencil as sassy stamp set!


The Fall vibes are strong with this card and I am deliberately going for earthy neutrals and textures that don't usually get as much "air time" in my craft room! I hope you like the result and do be sure to visit the Simon Says Stamp Blog to check out all the other STAMPtember Blog Party projects!



Let's review the key supplies for today's card. NOTE: STAMPtember release items are linked in the "Featuring" section below of the card description and here in the Supplies Section at the end of this post.



For the ink-brayering, we will use 3 earthy neutral Distress Oxides:

GIVE THANKS CARD - Ink-brayering, Stenciling and Die-cutting

A2 Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Stenciled Layer: 4" x 5 1/4"


Featuring:


 

INK BLENDING


Cut a 6" x 6" piece of 110lb white cardstock.














Roll the small brayer over the surface of the pad to transfer ink to the "roller".


Roll the brayer over the cardstock as shown to apply each ink color to the cardstock.











 

STENCILING

Place inked cardstock on a piece of scrap paper before placing it on your crafting surface.


Tip: I will be using a Wendy Vecchi Stay-tion to hold the stencil in place.










Using a palette knife, apply a layer of Translucent Crackle Paste through the openings in the stencil to create a dot pattern.












Once dry, trim to size for the card front.















 

DIE-CUTTING AND STAMPING

Die-cut 4 Buckeye Leaves: 1 matte gold, 1 matte silver and 2 white














Add a drop of Picket Fence Distress Paint to your craft mat, spritz with water and mix with the Distress Splatter brush. Use the splatter bush to add droplets of the white paint to the die-cuts in a random splatter. Once dry, adhere each in a slightly offset fashion to the white die-cuts.



Adhere foam strips to the and foamsquares to the leaves as shown



Stamp the sentiment in Brushed Corduroy Oxide onto white cardstock and then die-cut.


 

ASSEMBLY

Pop-up the stenciled panel with foam tape and adhere to the white card base as shown.

Remove the protective backing from the foam tape and adhere to the card background.

Apply Simon Says Stamp Craft Tacky Blue to the die-cut sentiment and adhere to the card base.



 

Feast your eyes on that yummy crackle!


The metallic leaves give the card just a touch of fancy!



I only used to non-sassy part of this sentiment of this card, but the set has so many snarky options that I will definitely come back for more!



I hope you can see why it is hard for me to resist a rainbow!



This is such an easy and fun card that I hope you will be tempted to give his a try in your favorite color palette!
