Simon Says Stamp Sweet Wishes Release, Heartfelt Snowflakes Card…

Hello everyone!  No flurries here yet!  We did get some rain early this morning though.  I’m sure they’ll come at some point!  In the meantime, I’ll just take them on paper!

What a gorgeous stamp set this is!  So many stamping possibilities!  Back to the basics!

I’ve had this paper pad for a year or so, just finally using it!  I’ll link it below if it’s still available.

I cut down the 6×6 piece to 4 ½ in. x 6 in.  Stamped several stamps from the set in Versafine Onyx Black ink in the MISTI.  Wow, they stamped nice!   So fun to just stamp!

Tied on some gold cord, layered it on a glossy black cardstock and glued it to a white cardbase!   It’s around an A6 size but I’ll probably mail it in an A7 envelope.  It will post for one stamp though!  YAY!

Black snowflakes….who knew! lol  I think it’s a CAS card but the true CAS ppl will throw a fit because it’s not white.  lol  Oh well!

Linking to some challenges…

ABC Christmas – October challenge U for unusal Christmas Colors (black snowflakes) or V for Velvet

Peace on Earth #74 – inspiration board  (lots of snow)

Love Those Pretty Papers – theme is Autumn but anything goes as long as it’s pretty paper!

Addicted To Stamps and More – #479 any occasion

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I’m still busy resetting my stamp rooms.  The collection is 30 years strong.  Rather overwhelming but fortunately I don’t have other collections!  whew! lol

Enjoy this new release!

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.

SSS STAMPtember Christmas Block Art Tags and Cards…

Hello everyone!  A bit of a blizzard happening here, hoho! Sharing a few things from this NEW STAMPtember release stamp set illustrated by Miriam Prantner called Christmas Block Art.

My projects are pretty straight forward.  The snowflake tags and tree cards are stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then ink blended with Distress Inks.  I linked the ones I used below.

For the trees I used an old primitive star Marvy  paper punch and glitter cardstock.

I love this primitive looking tree… so cute!  I added some Memory Box Fairy Gems from the Christmas pack.  Mini slimline card size.

So fun….this last photo is the first things I made with the set. I stamped all three on one piece of 4.25 x 5.5 cardstock panel but ended up cutting them apart and making tags instead of a card.

I used Distress Oxide inks to ink up the stamps in the MISTI but I didn’t write down what colors I used. ugh.  I stamped some snowflakes on the tree but they didn’t show up well enough after they dried so I added some using an old EK Success paper punch.

The sentiment over the star is from a SSS set that’s not available anymore.  Sorry about that!  It’s Holiday Greetings Mix 1.

Oh Christmas Tree is included in the stamp set with the block art images.

Walking is from a new set from Memory Box, Holiday Wishes.

Linking to some challenges…

Merry Little Christmas #58 – anything Christmas goes

NBUS #66 – never before used stuff!

Peace On Earth #71– anything Christmas goes

And my set of three tags to this challenge…

Word Power #9  – words/sentiment is the focus

I hope you’re enjoying this month at Simon Says Stamp!  A long with the new STAMPtember release there is a collaboration set or something happening every day of this month!  So fun!  Go HERE to check it out everyday at noon ET.  One more thing….free shipping with this code!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Simon Says Stamp Cheering For You Release!

Hi everyone!  New! New! New! It’s a challenge to keep up with all the new but so worth it!  I’m super excited to share my card with you because you know how we need man/boy cards so often!

So many guys love football!  Hey, I bet there’s some gals that do too!  Not me but I had fun making this card!

The name of this new stamp set is Football Season and there are coordinating dies too!

I stamped the football on the background panel randomly and then filled in the stitching lines with white gel pen just around the parts that would show.

I cut a smaller white panel, added the torn piece of grass green cardstock for the turf, then stamped the goal post and colored it with Copics.  Then I went in with a cloud stencil and brushed in some clouds.

Four perfect sentiments in the set too!   I used the birthday one, sssshhhh, I cut it apart but it fits back together fine. lol

Timeout!  on the front and It’s your Birthday on the inside.  I heat embossed on both with white embossing powder.

Super fun set that I know I’ll get lots of use out of with so many boys in the family!

My card is A2 size.

Linking to some challenges…

NBUS (never before used stuff) #64 – New stamp set

Seize the Birthday – anything goes

 

 

 

 

 

The Paper Funday #67 – anything goes

 

I hope you enjoy looking around at this release…oh I stamped the helmet on the back of the card and will put my name under.  So many creative things you can do with this set… the t-shirt with numbers…words for congrats even!

Simon Says Stamp Sunny Vibes Release Around the World Card…

Hi cardmakers and friends!  Sunny Vibes….sure makes me think of Summer, vacations and travel.  I’m not going anywhere but I can send this card instead!  So many cute illustrations in this stamp set.  There’s a coordinating die set and another die set if you don’t want to stamp.

I’m not sure if there is a thing called ‘air mail’ anymore…takes two days to get a piece of mail to someone in the same town!  I love using postal elements on cards though.  I heat embossed AIR MAIL in white on red cardstock.

I stamped the images and colored with Copics.  I didn’t like the continents in brown so I stippled on some Rustic Wilderness Oxide ink. That was tricky but I didn’t want to start over.

I colored the airplane with a metallic gel pen then went over it a few times with a clear glaze pen.

The sentiments are straight in the stamp set but using the MISTI I curved them a little and stamped with Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink.

Ended up being a 5 ½ inch square card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Sending smiles to you wherever you are!
