Simon Says Stamp Mini Slimline Windows and MFT Spring Gnomes Card…

Pam Sparks15 Comments

Truth – You’re a friend like gnome other!  Cardmakers just click!

I’m using the NEW Simon Says Stamp Mini Slimline Windows die today from the latest release, ‘All The Feels’….very fun to create three little scenes with the NEW My Favorite Things Spring Gnomes Stamp and die sets too!

I die cut the Windows die and backed it with Memory Box NEW Madras Plaid Blue and Violet 6×6 paper pad.  Such gorgeous papers!

The gnome, flowers and grass are die cut in Copic coloring cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Accented with a white Sakura gel pen.

I stamped the sentiments with the Misti stamping tool. On the inside I stamped the ‘I carrot about you so much’ sentiment and added a carrot. ❤

Hope it makes you smile and think Spring!

Simon Says Stamp Botanical Split Background Slimline Card…

Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today’s card I’m using the center section of this new stamp from Simon Says Stamp’s latest NEW release ‘Hello Beautiful’. It’s a cool 6×6 background stamp but it splits into three pieces and you can use it all or just parts!

I started with Strathmore Best Watercolor paper pad, the brown one, taped it down, spritzed with water good and dropped in distress ink pad refill inks. Then I used that camera lens cleaner puffer tool.  I think that’s what it is anyway.  To move the inky water around.

Then I dried it with the heat tool.

After it was good and dry, I used the powder tool on it before I heat embossed the stamp in white on the watercolor background.

Then the question was, what to do with it! lol

I wanted to bring in some color, so I picked a light yellow from my stash.

Heat embossed a couple sentiments on vellum from SSS Sending and Wishing stamp set. Trimmed it down, folded it around the watercolor panel, taped it on the back, die cut the label and glued it on.  Nothing complicated at all!

I’ll link up what I used below…hopefully they’re all still available!  Have you tried making slimline cards yet?  What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp Love You and Love You, Too Release Cards…

Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone!  I got a kick out of this sentiment… I hope you can see it good enough.   Very hard card to photograph!

“I sort of maybe love you a lot”, we could probably add, depending on what day it is! lol

A very CAS card but I like it a lot.  Better IRL. It always bugs me when I can’t capture it the way I see it!  🙂

I die cut a heart from the Memory Box Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out set in a 4.25 x 5.5 inch panel and in the card base.  They have to be lined up.  I sandwiched the Simon Says Stamp Birch Tree Window inbetween the panel and the base.

I cut a piece of vellum a quarter inch longer than enough to cover the front panel and taped the extra behind the panel so it doesn’t show when you put the panel on top of the cardbase.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the NEW Simon Says Stamp Love Greetings Mix clear stamp set on the vellum before I adhered it to the card panel.  TIP:  When I heat emboss, I always have my piece laying on a piece of cardboard so it doesn’t curve up or down when I apply heat.  I leave it lay there to cool to.  Sure keeps it from warping on me.

The two red hearts I die cut from the Simon Says Stamp Stacked Hearts die.

 

This card is one of the stencils from the NEW Simon Says Stamp Hearts and Streamers Stencil set.

I taped the stencil down and used Silver Embossing Paste from Ranger through the stencil, then sprinkled on clear glitter and dumped off the extra.

Let the paste dry while you’re embossing the sentiment from the NEW Simon Says Stamp Love Greetings Mix stamp set on vellum
 and die cutting a few red hearts from glitter cardstock with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Heart Collage die.

This card is 5 ¼ inches square.

A fun Valentine and I used some of the stash too!  I wanted to use red glitter embossing paste but it was dried up. boo.  So it’s good to use your stuff! lol

Fun stamps and dies from Simon Says Stamp for Valentines Day.   I’ll link up what I used below!

Simon Says Stamp NEW DieCember Release Card…

Pam Sparks10 Comments

How about a festive card today with the NEW Detail Bohemian Plate from Simon Says Stamp’s DieCember release! It was hard to cover up the pretty design but I think you can still see it.

A scrap of Memory Box plaid paper for accent… Memory Box Forest Pine Branch and Mistletoe Bundle for the focal points.  The sentiment is from the poppystamps Christmas Greetings stamp set.

Click over and check out the new release HERE…

Thank you for clicking over! Happy cardmaking to you!
