Simon Says Stamp SUPERSTAMPtember 2024 Celebration Cards…

So happy to be here today to share cards I made with the Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box Collaboration stamp set!  It’s so cute and I loved working with it!  I ended up with 3 cards!  * This is a limited edition set and only available while supplies last!!!

I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  A little white gel pen and black glaze pen on the Nordic snowgirl’s eyes.

I ink blended some Faded Jeans Distress ink onto the background of a white A2 size cardbase and randomly stamped some of the snowflake from the set in the same ink.  I stamped off on a scrap piece of paper first so the snowflakes wouldn’t be too dark.

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the cardbase. Then mounted the colored images with thin mounting tape to the cardbase.

Tied on some Peppermint twine because it adds a little cuteness! lol

Next is the cute little Nordic Winter penguin!

I die cut The Snowflake Hexagon twice, glued them together, then figured out where I wanted to stamp the sentiment.  I used the MISTI stamping tool.  Stamped it in Versafine Onyx Black.

I mounted the Hexagon with thin mounting tape to the A2 size cardbase, then mounted the penguin in the center with thin mounting tape.

Last card I stamped with the Poinsettia border that comes in the set.  I wasn’t sure where I was going with this but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

I used a piece of vellum over the background to make the Merry Christmas stand out and I love the peppermint twine with it again!

I swiped the Red Geranium ink pad over white cardstock and then die cut the Merry Christmas Wave die from that.  I used scor-tape on the back side of the die so I could easy layer in the white letters, then stuck it to the solid die backer. Fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Holler if you have any questions, I’m sure I forgot something.

poppystamps Nordic Happy Snowman Card…

Hi everyone!  I know most of us love snowman!  It seems like this cutie should have a name, oh it does!  Happy!

I saw a card made with this sketch and thought it’d work so well with the new Memory Box 6×6 paper pads, Yuletide Cheer and Yuletide Plaid!  I love these pads!  Good thing! lol  24 double sided papers, 12 designs, 2 of each.

I started by die cutting, coloring with Copics and piecing  ‘Happy’ together.  Do you have the R07 Copic marker?  It is one of my favorite reds ever!  If you remember the Basic Gray paper line for Christmas, E07 matched it perfectly!

I also colored the background for Let it Snow with E07 also.

I diecut the Memory Box Nested Globe die in white and the Nested Globe Bases die in white and colored the base with E07 and E09.

The plaid paper is cut 4 in. x 5 ¼ in. and the banner is 2 ¼ x 5 ½ in.  I cut the fishtail end with a scissors. Then I wrapped gold thread around it and tied a box before I glued it to the plaid panel.

That’s about it!  I used my favorite thin mounting foam tape to adhere ‘Happy’ to the globe.

The green Copics I used are G24 and YG99.

Linking to some card challenges…

ABC Christmas – S and T, S is for Stencils and/or T is for Traditional Christmas Colors

Merry Little Christmas #58 – anything Christmas goes

The Paper Funday #69 – Anything Goes with optional twist

I almost wished for snow this week! It was so muggy and hot here in Iowa.  Next week looks more like Fall temperatures.  whew.  So thankful for air conditioning!  I’ve been riding my bike more but these temps put a halt to that.  Maybe this coming week and I can get back to it.

Thank you for stopping by!  I love hearing from you and appreciate your encouraging words!  I still haven’t counted how many Christmas cards I have made.  One of these days I’m gonna say post in the comments how many you have! lol  I think it’d be fun to see and we can encourage each other!  I have birthday cards to throw in the mix this week.  How’d it get to be Sept. 21st anyway! Crazy!  ttul!

poppystamps Nordic Wintertide Stockings Merry Christmas Card…

Hi everyone!  Have you counted your Christmas card stash yet?  I haven’t!  I haven’t kept up very well with my policy of finishing the insides either!  I will be sorry yet again this year! lol

A very easy die cut card A2 size today.  I cut this NEW poppy Nordic Wintertide Border Set three times for the wider border and three times for the narrow border.  Next time I will just space them better so I don’t have the piece I had to trim at the top.

Believe it or not these dies cut very well!  I die cut with the blades up, and angle the die into the machine.  Try it!  It works!

I pieced together the NEW poppy Nordic Stockings and Merry Christmas Moonlight Script dies…very straight forward/easy!

I used the NEW Memory Box red cardstock!!!  OH wow!  This cardstock is beautiful!  Dave sent several colors and I can’t wait to use them!  8.5 x 11 size!!!  yahoo!

Here’s a video showing the colors!

I die cut a vellum circle to put behind the sentiment and stockings, it just needed it!

Linking to some card challenges…

A Cut Above – anything goes with a die cut

The Paper Shelter #609 – punches and/or dies

ABC Christmas – S and T, T for traditional colors

Sparkles Christmas – sentiment as the focus

There you have it!  A festive, easy card and I didn’t even have to fill the stockings!  Although I think they’d be super cute with stuff in them, I just couldn’t land on anything.  I tried adding poinsettias but nope, didn’t suit my eye!

Off to work on some more Christmas cheer! Thank you so much for stopping by!

poppystamps Nordic Dancing Gnome and Large Mushroom House Be Merry Card…

Time for a cute card!  Something to make you think of cooler temperatures!  That’s how we’re feeling here in steamy Iowa! Can you say Summer?!

I had fun making these NEW poppystamps dies up…die cutting, inking, gluing, arranging and spattering.  Here’s the card! lol

I die cut the lower mushroom parts in kraft cardstock and inked with Gathered Twigs Regular Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

The upper mushroom is die cut in white cardstock and inked with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink using an ink blending brush and aged with regular Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool. The smoke in white and inked with Hickory Smoke Oxide ink.

The trees and the gnome are all die cut in Neenah Classic Crest White cardstock and inked with Oxide inks and blending brushes….

hat with Peeled Paint (less pressure to get the lighter part)

flesh parts are Tattered Rose with a hint of Vintage Photo on the edges

trees are Rustic Wilderness with a little bit of white showing here and there and those spots inked with Peacock Feathers

Backgound panel is Neenah Classic Crest White inked with Peacock Feathers, spattered with water droplets, let it dry

be merry is die cut in white also, back layer inked with Peacock Feathers and spattered with water droplets also, white layer glued on top

Panel is glued to a 5 x 7 cardbase, mushroom house adhered with my favorite thin mounting tape, trees glued directly to the card, gnome and sentiment adhered with thin mounting tape.

Last step was spattering with white drawing ink.

His belt buckle is colored with a gel pen and I added a few clear fairy drops.

I hope he makes you smile!  It’s so cute!  A happy card that makes me happy too!

poppystamps Whittle Tropical Gator Kit Card…

Surprise!  Now I’m wishing I’d thought to make the bow and hoop red! lol  Happy Fourth of July friends and cardmakers!

Such cute critters from poppystamps and everything you need to make this card or another version in the kit!

Personality indeed!  They’re having a Summer good time!

I colored the die cuts with Copic Sketch Markers after I die cut them in Hammermill Color Copy 100# cardstock.

Branches – YG17, YG 67 and G99

Tree Trunks – E43, E44 and E47

Splash – B000, B00, B01 and B02

Bow and hoop – RV02 and inked a little bit with my dirty pink oxide ink blending brush

Tie – B05 and BG09

Umbrella – N2, 3, 4, 5

Gators – YG21, YG23 and inked a little bit with my dirty green oxide ink blending brush

I kept it clean and simple by just mounting the colored die cuts onto an A2 size Neenah Solar White 110# cardbase that I inked with a little bit of Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.

Small pieces of the thin mounting tape behind the pieces and placed similar to the picture on the envelope of the kit packaging.

So cute and easy to do!  Aren’t the teeth fun?! lol

Have a beautiful holiday rest of the week and enjoy the fireworks if you can stay up late enough! haha!
