Simon Says Stamp Believe In You Release Cards…
Hello! I have two cards to share with you using a new die, Today Will Be Awesome, from Simon Says Stamp’s new release, Believe In You. Check out the release! It’s huge and lots of beautiful stamps and dies!
I’m also using their Nautical Stripe Stencil that was new with their last release. Here I used it straight up and down on Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster cardstock, inkblending on Cookie Monster ink with a mini ink blending tool. I love the tone on tone look!
I die cut the stenciled panel with a Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die.
I die cut the new die in TE’s Toffee cardstock and since it’s thicker the letters stayed in the cut. Then I die cut it in Cookie Monster and glued the letters over the Toffee die cut. Easy placement that way..
The die comes with a rectangle die to back it too… that’s handy. I cut it from TE’s Confetti Cake cardstock.
I embellished with the Memory Box Scribble Leafy Branch Background die cut from TE’s Granny Smith cardstock and a few Doodlebug Matte Sprinkles.
For some reason I really like how this turned out! lol It’s not like me to have such a contrast of colors!
My next card…
Same die and stencil, I just did the stencil diagonal both directions, with Lawn Fawn Merman and Cilantro inks and Confetti Cake and Granny Smith cardstocks.
I used the next size down of the Wrapped Stitch Rectangles dies and added the Scribble Leafy Branch Outline die to the leaves this time.
I like this one too. I should mail them! Imagine that! lol
oh and here’s a picture of a couple backgrounds I made last month with this stencil but didn’t get anything made up. Too bad, they would’ve been great patriotic cards! So the stencil, 3 different ways!
Thank you so much for stopping by! I appreciate it and always hope you enjoy and are inspired by my cards!

Simon Says Stamp Sketched Flowers Card…
Hi everyone! A floral card with a big thanks to share with you today.
I stamped this beautiful floral image from SSS Sketched Flowers clear stamp set with Archival Black ink in the MISTI on watercolor paper.
I used the most amazing markers to watercolor with! Have you heard of the Karin Markers? They’re from Poland. Just WOW! So cool! I was so surprised and delighted when the pkg arrived at my front door! A birthday present for me?! YES! From an awesome friend!!! 😀 Best Birthday ever!!! 😀
A story I made on Instagram about them… HERE.
They are awesome markers for lettering too. I’m still working on that… practice, practice!
I spattered and after everything was dry, I die cut the word ‘thanks’ from Altenew’s lower case alphabet set right out of the colored floral piece! :O
That took a couple weeks for me to get up the nerve! lol No big deal after all. haha whew!
I added mounting tape to the back of each of the letters and placed them back in after I backed the piece with black cardstock.
I’ve seen a lot of cardmakers do this and have always loved it. So glad I finally did it! The simple ‘with heartfelt’ is from a Memory Box clear stamp set.
Links below to what I used…
THANK you so much for stopping by and supporting my cardmaking and blogging! I appreciate it so much! YES, with heartfelt thanks! Have a beautiful day! It cooled off here and I even opened the windows because the humidity is low…so unusual! So happy about it! lol

SSS ‘Celebrate You Release’ Filigree Message Circle Die with MB Flower Dies…
It’s time for a NEW release from Simon Says Stamp! They sent me their new Filigree Message Circle die to play with. Kinda fitting since it was designed by Memory Box.
So I set to work and used a couple Memory Box flower dies too!
I used sentiments from the SSS last release, Tiny Words Encouragement clear stamp set. Links below…
I wanted to embellish the circle so I diecut the NEW Memory Box Daisy Silhouette die in white and colored with Copic Sketch markers.
YG17 Matches Taylored Expressions Peapod cardstock perfectly! I’ll link below.
Here’s a top view because there is dimension to the card! 😀
The top layer is Taylored Expressions Toffee cardstock.
A close up…I think this picture captures the sweetness of the card the best! 😀
Next photo, the cards together…a variety of things you can do with this die. Use your other circle dies to frame it etc. My white die cut panel is popped up to the card base with foam mounting tape and the kraft die cut panel is adhered directly to the card base.
I have this Lawn Fawn Inside Out Circle die set and love how it framed this Filigree Message Circle die.
I wanted to embellish with flowers again and liked the idea of tulips cuz it’s May and tulips are big in the area we live.
This is the Memory Box Springtime Tulips die. I clipped out the tulips and used them without the circle they come with.
A top view… I ink blended the flower parts that come with the die to back the tulips, with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and the mini ink blending tool.
I ink blended the card base with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.
The leaves are inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.
Sweet, feminine cards that anyone would enjoy receiving. YAY!
