Simon Says Stamp October Release!
NEW! NEW! NEW! Welcome to my blog post today introducing a new stamp from the Simon Says Stamp Cozy Hugs Release.
When this stamp came in the mail… I was stunned with the size but loved the bold print of it and challenged with what I would do!
So I put it in the MISTI and started inking with Lawn Fawn Ink Cubes, Lobster and Artichoke. I tore some scrap paper squares to kinda mask off but finally just ended up wiping off if I got ink where I didn’t want it.
I LOVE it! ❤
Fortunately I thought to snap a phone picture before I chopped it in half! (sorry it’s blurry, ugh, I only took one)
It’s just everything traditional Christmas to me! lol
I used a wide ruler to try to decide WHERE to cut it in half…finally realized there was no rhyme nor reason to where!
I ended up with two Mini Slimline size cards.
This one I just stamped a sentiment right over the design. Happy Christmas from the SSS Inside Christmas Greetings stamp set.
The second I tried gold heat embossing directly on the design but it didn’t show up as well as I thought it would.
I heat embossed a piece of vellum and positioned it directly over the direct to card embossed sentiment.
Now I wonder if I shouldn’t have added some gems or something but you know me… I err on the side of clean and simple!
Are you looking forward to Christmas creating or have you already started? This release has some wonderful things in it!
Tired to catch the gold embossing in the picture a little better.
I had fun making these!
I hope you’ll check out the new release. Thank you for clicking from my blog…if you click from somewhere else but want me to get credit, be sure to come back to my blog and click again. I appreciate it so much and thank you from the bottom of my cardmaking loving heart! ❤

Simon Says Stamp/Memory Box STAMPtember Collaboration!
Welcome to my blog, it’s that time of year! STAMPtember at Simon Says Stamp and a collaboration with Memory Box! I have two cards to share…
The stamp set has beautiful botanical images and sentiments! I hope you will love it too!
Beautiful images to color! I used Copic Sketch Markers for my cards today. G21, 24, 28, 29 for the greens. R24, 37, 39 for the berries.
There’s a coordinating die for the set also. I didn’t have it so I used my scan n cut to cut it out.
I always love coloring the reds and greens for Christmas.
I stamped the sentiment with the MISTI and Ranger Archival Black Ink. These stamps stamp beautifully!
Both of my cards are A2 size.
The next card is an Autumn card…
I colored with Copic Sketch Markers again. I loved coloring these images… very easy open spaces which would work with all coloring mediums. E11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19 for the flower. YG91, 93, 95, 97 for the leaves. YR02, YR18, E07 for the berries.
I’ll link up below the other products I used on these two cards.
Thank you so much for stopping by! If you click away, be sure to come back and click through my link again and I’ll get credit at no expense to you! I appreciate it so much!
Enjoy STAMPtember!

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Blog Party!
Hi everyone! I have some cards to post using the NEW for STAMPtember sentiment set called ‘Extra Talkative’. So many sentiments in the set I ended up with five cards! This is a big set with dies to match but I didn’t get the dies to use. You’ll see how beautifully they ink up and stamp!
Here’s my first card…
I made three Mini Slimline cards and two A2 size cards…
What great words of encouragement! Everyone can use that now and then! I’m sending this one to myself! lol
Besides the Extra Talkative set I used two new sets from Memory Box. Leafy Branch Oval and Fanciful Fall Leaves.
Next up…
How cute is this ‘Hi.’! So cute! I cut some strips with a Waffleflower die, stamped four sentiments from the set on each strip with matching ink. ATG to the card…thin mounting tape to mount the HI circle.
Next…
Another CAS card. Here I used a Gina K Designs die set, Botanical Duo. I cut it in white and inked it with regular Distress Inks and ink blending brushes. Scrap paper to protect each part from the other color.
I stamped the sentiment in the MISTI…taped on another one of those strips, I cut too many, tied on the thin Mayarts twine and it was done!
Now for the two A2 size cards…
Brayering Kaleidacolor ink pad colors onto Hammermill Color Copy 100# cardstock. I love how this cardstock keeps the color vibrant!
The Botanical Duo die in Glossy Black cardstock and two sentiments from the set again.
Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die for the brayered white panel.
Next…
More encouragement from this card! These sentiments stamped so beautifully. I used Ranger Archival Black ink. It’s my favorite for stamping black sentiments. I used the MISTI also.
I added a few black enamel dots on the berries… just enough to make it a little ‘extra’!
Just reading these cards is helping put the smile back on my face today! Hope it’s an encouragement to you also!
Here’s a special code from SSS for an ‘extra’ to put a smile on your face today too! I’ll list the clickable links to the other products I used at the bottom of this post… Have fun shopping and if you click to another blog but want to shop through my links, just come back and click through one of my links again and it will track to me. You know I appreciate it and wish I knew who to send thank yous too!
