Folk Dance Die from SSS Friendly Frolic New Release…
Hi everyone! AWESOME new release up at Simon Says Stamp! They sent me the Folk Dance die to create with…here’s what I came up with this time around!
I die cut a piece of copy paper to make a stencil…
Used the stencil to ink up a card panel with Picked Raspberry and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks and the mini ink blending tools. Sprinkled on Clear Embossing powder and heat set.
Then I die cut a card panel of 110# Neenah Solar White and layered/glued it over the top of the inked panel.
Tied on some pink twine…glued that to a top folded card base.
Die cut a Double Stitch Rectangle from poppystamps…inked the interior cut with Peeled Paint Oxide ink…
Die cut SSS Painted Thanks die two dies from the same white and glued them together and mounted them to the rectangle with mounting tape.
Have fun checking out the NEW RELEASE HERE!
A big thanks for visiting my blog today and thanks for your wonderful comments too! I appreciate them so much and love hearing from you!

Simon Says Stamp NEW Release Good Vibes!!!
Cute or what?!!! This pup has the right idea for staying cool this Summer!
Simon Says Stamps sent me this super cute stamp set to create with from their new release Good Vibes. So I set to Copic coloring!
The name of this set is Summer Cuddly Critters, you can check it out HERE.
I just had to grab the mirror silver cardstock for the ‘shades’. So funny… when you hold the card up, you can see yourself in them, just like the real thing!
Super easy card really… a Lawn Fawn Stitched sun die… the MFT Beach die set and the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die that I love to use!
I stamped in the MISTI with Ranger Archival black ink for the sentiments and Memento Tuxedo Black for the images I colored.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy shopping the new release HERE! Some fab stuff again! yay!

Simon Says Stamp Leafy Circle Cards…
Hi everyone! WOWzer it’s a hot day in May for IA! 93˚! eek! So I’m inside writing a blog post. I wanted to go on a walk but not if it means melting!
My cards today feature Simon Says Stamp’s new Leafy Circle die. It’s from the latest fabulous release called ‘Sending Sunshine’.
What I did…I die cut a piece of 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock with SSS Stitch Frame die. Then instead of cutting the die in the panel, I embossed it using the tan mat, shims and the multi purpose platform in my Big Shot like you would do an embossing folder.
Using the ink blending tools and 3 Distress ink colors, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Peeled Paint, I added color. I thought it was so cool, I did the same technique (embossing/inking) for my next card but added a kraft color panel with the Leafy Circle cut in it over the top of the ink blended piece. whew… run on sentence.
Hey, talking about inks made me remember this… 25% off Ranger right now at SSS, use code RANGER25
I stamped the sentiment on vellum with Ranger Archival ink, trimmed it and used the Glue Dots Vellum adhesive on the back, just gotta tell you, that worked slick. Then I stamped explore nature on the white panel with the same ink. Stamping for both using the MISTI.
I matted the white panel with a green rectangle die cut from the Memory Box Rectangle Basics set. I love that teeny border. Mounting tape on the back of that and placed on a top folded kraft color cardbase that I edged with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool.

Next card…same wreath but I CASEd myself…brought back that Meadow Flower… can’t get enough of it I guess!
This time I ink blended with Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Inks. Colored the flower head with Copics and added three Nuvo White drops. I used mounting tape behind the flower, the flower stem leaves and the sending die cut.
Both of these cards are A2 size and good for snail mail!
