Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Blog Party! Cue the Confetti!

September 2, 2023September 2, 2023 Pam Sparks23 Comments

Happy Day! It’s that time of the year when Simon Says Stamp has a BIG release, STAMPTEMBER!

I’m participating in the blog party that starts on the Simon Says Stamp blog, HERE.

I received the stamp set ‘Cue the Confetti‘! Super fun to stamp a one layer card and use a lot of the stamps in the set!

I stamped in black, masked using the reverse of the positive image to fill in the balloons with ink blending. I used the positive mask of the balloon to stamp the confetti in the background.

Very fun, festive, cute sentiments in this set! I found them very usable and I love the Big Happy Birthday for the inside! I also stamped it in color on the envelope.

I can also see these balloons and even some of the sentiments used for other occasions like retirement. It’s all about you today. There’s no such thing as too much happy! YAY! And even Make it Epic!

It was fun to do stamping! I do so much die cutting and gluing.

I used the MISTI to stamp the sentiments and a clear block to stamp the balloons, confetti and sparkles.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I have a banner to share with your for a great giveaway when you order today or tomorrow from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope you enjoyed my celebratory card!

It’s Slim size and fits in a business size envelope.

Talk to you again soon and enjoy the Labor Day weekend!

I accidentally stamped it in black first but after I stamped it in Rich Cocoa Memento ink a couple times and then ink blended it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink, I was glad for the accident! Happy surprise!

Paper Smooches and Artistic Outpost…

January 29, 2013February 3, 2013 Pam Sparks19 Comments

Now there is a contrast in companies!!! lol oh well… both cute cards! You know I LOVE cute!

Yesterday was day one of the Clean and Simple Cardmaking 2 Class…. the heart tree card is my take on the homework we were assigned…

I used five sets from Paper Smooches (to get enough different hearts) and a couple older clear sets from Hero Arts for the birdie and the sentiments. Links below to the Paper Smooches sets…

Dot pattern paper is by Paper Studio. The main image mat is cut with the Perfect Layers tools! Link in the sidebar or below in the supply links.

This is an A-2 size card (4.25 x 5.5)

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Next up is a stack of snowman ATC’s (artist trading cards). The snowman image is from Artistic Outpost, He is painted with Distress reinkers, the sentiment from Paper Smooches, the snowflake border is a Martha Stewart punch and the washi tape is from My Minds Eye! Cute! love him!

This ATC is 2 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 in.

I’m linking my ATC to the Artistic Outpost January Referral Program…Anything Goes! yea! Hope I win! hehe

It’s a dreary day here (weather wise)… working on laundry…need to send a couple cards (imagine that)! Are you like me? Making cards but have a hard time getting them in the mail… ugh! Oh and then back to class! I do love CAS cards almost as much as coloring cards! Thanks for looking at my post again… I love hearing from you and seeing what you’re up to! Holler if something doesn’t make sense… ‘Email me’ tab under the header!
