Products Used for today’s Simon Says Stamp ILYSM Card:
- ILYSM Stamp Set
- ILYSM Sentiment Die
- Blossom Burst 3D Embossing Folder
- Beautiful Branches Die Set
- Fun Birdie Die Set
How to create the Simon Says Stamp ILYSM Card:
Start with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of white cardstock and emboss it using the Blossom Bursts 3D Embossing Folder. Attach the panel to a top-folding A2-sized card base (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″).
Next, die-cut the Fun Birdie and assemble the pieces using liquid craft glue.
Then, use the Beautiful Branches Die Set to cut your foliage and florals. Cut the leaves from Green Apple cardstock and add shading with Pearfection Ink. Cut the flowers from a medium pink cardstock, with Watermelon Ink blended over the centers for dimension. Cut the flower centers from white cardstock and ink blend with Sunbeam and Honey Ink for a warm, sunny finish.
Adding the Sentiment:
Start by die-cutting the large sentiment from white cardstock, and cut the shadow layer from Audrey Blue cardstock and glue them together.
Next, using the ILYSM stamp set, white heat emboss the smaller sentiment onto a scrap of the same Audrey Blue cardstock. Trim it down and adhere both sentiments to the bottom right corner of the card front using foam squares for added dimension.
Then, attach the leaf stem and flowers with foam squares, followed by the assembled bird.
Finally, embellish the design with Surf Pawsitively Dazzling Gems for a touch of sparkle.

Beautiful card! Love the flowers and adorable bird! Awesome embossed design for your background too!
Love your card. so cute
beautiful card!!
Wow, it just gets harder and harder to choose a fave in this blog hop! I absolutely LOVE this card, Sandi!! The color harmony is exceptional. I love that Blossom Bursts embossing folder and I especially like that you left it uncolored so as to provide a perfect foil for the colorful branch and bird. This is one of the best cards of the entire 2-day hop!!
