Simon Says Stamp Just A Note July Release – Margot Tile Card…

Hi everyone!  New gorgeous 3D embossing Folder to share with you today for the Simon Says Stamp Just A Note July Release!

Look at all that goodness!  Click/tap on the logo and it’ll take you to the whole release!

For my card I started by embossing the Margot Tile folder from the release with black cardstock!   It’s gorgeous!

Then I did some die cutting with Birch Press Designs Large Cosmos Contour Layers die and Curved Leaf Branch Contour Layers die.

I only used one color for the Cosmos but I inked and added a little Copic marker for a little dimension.

The Branch die is two colors of green die cut and glued up.

These dies come in a folder holder with a design sheet on how they go together!  It’s so helpful!

I used Birch Press Design Thank You Noted Script Hot Foil Plate and Die Set for the sentiment.

So happy with how it turned out… the black must just give it the drama the flower needs! lol  It didn’t take long to make either!  A big plus!

I hope I remembered everything about it.  It’s A2 size.  Comment or email if you have any questions!

Have fun checking out the new release!  What is your favorite new product/s?

Simon Says Stamp Out of This World Release Card and SALE!


Hi Summer lovin’ friends!  Scorcher here…just in time for fireworks!  Some orange heat happening on my cards with the NEW Mid Century Ethereal Plate from Simon Says Stamp Out of this World Release!

I did some puzzle work with it!  I die cut it in four colors of cardstock and then in white cardstock one time for this first card where I inlaid the pieces.

No rhyme nor reason…I tried to come up with a plan for this shape and that color but it just didn’t work out.  So random it is on all four!

I used two strips of wide scor-tape on the back and inlaid the pieces right in. It’s really fun and enjoyable!  I was surprised!  So I kept going!

 

The next two cards, I put a die cut frame with peel and stick on the front, face down and added in the pieces right side down.

Then I put a mounting foam square on the back of each shape. Turned the panel over and stuck it to a white A2 card panel.  (If I’d been thinking, I could’ve mounted it directly onto an A2 cardbase.)   Then I pulled off the peel and stick and the die cut background panel I’d used to position the shapes.

I like them popped up like this a lot too.  For some reason the camera kinda blurs them out.  Maybe my phone pictures are better, I’ll add some.

I used sentiments from the NEW Memory Box Gracious Floral Clear Stamp Set.  Stamped and die cut…stamped and heat embossed.  I used a different one on each card.

For this card, I layered the four colored panels that I’d used the shapes from so it’s like a deep frame with the shapes down in.  I hope it shows that in my pictures.

They really turned out nice.  Wish I could show you in person! lol  A fun addition to my stash!

Here’s some more pictures….I took a lot with my Nikon and my phone!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I love hearing from you and appreciate your comments so much!

Take care and Happy 4th of July!

Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Days Release…

Hello everyone! After Winter we’re thinking #Beautiful Days!  Bring ’em on!   Simon Says Stamp sent me this stamp set to play with and I’ve made two cards with it.  A super cute set, Garden Fresh!

Out came my Distress Reinkers and paint brushes to watercolor.  I stamped the images on Strathmore Best Watercolor paper with Ranger Black Archival Ink in the MISTI.

The first one I made is pretty rustic…I wasn’t sure it was post worthy but I was encouraged by cardmaker friends on Instagram to go for it!  So here it is!  A not so rustic one follows!

There’s something about watering cans that just draws me in.  I have a really old one I like to sit out for Summer porch decor.

I stamped and watercolored this regular like, then decided after I’d spattered to go over it with my Gathered Twigs mini blending tool!  All the while telling myself it was only a card! lol

It’s A2 size and I die cut the frame from Simon Says Stamp Frames die set, inked it with Gathered Twigs regular Distress ink and glued it on.

I added some think twine and a button and called it good.  The sentiment is from the set also.

Here’s my next card…not brown card! lol

Jars are so fun for flowers too!  The images in this set are so easy to color in!

The water looks dark in my pictures… I’m gonna have to go back and take some water and lighten it up!  Funny what you notice after you’ve taken photos and are writing a blog post!

I’m thinking this card could be used for any kind of shower and also for get well!  A very versatile set.

There’s one more floral image in the set that would be perfectly delightful stamped inside!  I love the birthday sentiment too!

Happy Saturday to you!  It’s looking like our weekend will be on the chill side so I might get some more cardmaking in!  A good day to shop the Beautiful Days NEW Release!

ttul!

Simon Says Stamp NEW Just For You Release!

Hi everyone!  A fun Copic colored card to share with you today.  Simon Says Stamp sent me this adorable stamp set, Magical Spring, for me to create with!  You can tell I had fun with it and using bright colors!

A delightful release with lots of Spring and Easter offerings!

I started out by stamping the cute images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill Color Copy Cardstock.  

I cut them out and colored them using Copic sketch markers and a Sakura white gel pen for accenting.

I cut an A7 cardbase from the same cardstock, masked off the edges and ink blended on a Distress Oxide background in Tumbled Glass, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.  I spattered on some white ink and regular distress ink color.

I stamped two sentiments from the set in the MISTI directly on the front of the card using Ranger Archival Black ink.

I adhered the images using foam tape and liquid glue.

Thank you for stopping by!  Be sure to check out the new release HERE

Simon Says Stamp KISSES January Release!

Hi everyone! Lots of paper hearts, hugs and kisses coming your way! Check out this NEW release at Simon Says Stamp!

Here’s the NEW stamp set that was sent to me to show off!  It’s called Swoopy Flowers!  I don’t know if I did it justice but I gave it a good try, coloring with Copic Sketch Markers!

I stamped and cut the images out on the Scan and Cut but there are dies to coordinate! There’s also a stencil for coloring!  Fun!

I used the R80s, the YR00s and the G20s. 

I made the rectangle frame with Waffleflower A2 Layers and Additional A2 Layers die sets. 

Die cut black cardstock with the smaller rectangle and the white with a larger rectangle so it’s picture framed or matted like a picture!

I love this look!  I did it with a circle die also and I’ll show that card in the next day or two.

The Happy Valentines Day sentiment is from the Love and Valentines Word Mix 2 stamp set.  I stamped in clear embossing ink, sprinkled with Lawn Fawn White Embossing powder and heat embossed it.

Some Cupcake Doodlebug Sprinkles for a little embellishment.

Other sentiments that would’ve worked here are from the Love Greetings Mix… fun.  I’ll link it below even though I’m not showing it today. 

I hope you can dash over and check out the new release.  It’s a colorful Valentine season I’m sure!  Have fun making some paper art today!
