Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Blog Party!

Hi everyone!  Here it is September and time for ALL the excitement of the 10th STAMPtember at Simon Says Stamp!!! Throughout STAMPtember there will be exclusive collaborations, contests, prizes, special promotions, announcements, and more surprises!

Starting today with this blog party, participants listed on the SSS blog will be sharing a special code for a free gift with your order today. You’ll want to click around to see what code you want to use when you order!  A code scavenger hunt! 

Click over to SSS store HERE to see the release and see the stamp set I used to make this Christmas card!

This is the NEW Chunky Christmas stamp set.  I stamped on Neenah Solar White cardstock and heat embossed with Ranger Gold Detail Embossing Powder and colored in with Distress Ink Refills and water.  Faded Jeans for the blue,  Fired Brick for the berries and Peeled Paint for the leaves.  The die cut pine branch is from the Christmas Foliage die set.

I used some NEW Memory Box Fairy Sugar glitter glue in Dewdrop, Ruby and Sunlit Gold.  The frame is Stitched Rectangles.  I skipped a die so I’d get a wider frame when I die cut them.

I think that pretty much covers it… thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy the blog party!

poppystamps Winter Porch Pop Up Easel Card…

Welcome to my paper house home today!  See all the sparkly Christmas trees on display!

I had so much fun creating this home with this new poppy die set, Winter Porch Pop Up Easel Set!

Just die cut all the pieces in the colors you want and layer them up.  I used mounting tape for the top layer because I wanted the trees behind the windows. The trees are the new poppy Evergreen Trio die cut in glitter cardstock.

I used the new poppy Snowy Merry Christmas cut in Green cardstock and embossed the snow with white powder. I used a Versamark pen to get the powder to stick to the snow.  The door knob is a tiny brad but it could be a small enamel dot, gem or make your own with black Nuvo drops.

This is one time I liked the embossing powder static! lol  I melted the first time, then while it was hot, stuck it back in the powder for a second and third time to get a deeper snow pile.

The card folds down to fit in an envelope.  It is A2 size but I will use a larger size envelope to mail and have it hand cancelled.

The card folded up but standing for the photo.

Did you notice the new Memory Box Vintage Sled die?  Pretty cool… separate die to cut the slats and steering wood!

For the porch and sled holly and berries, I used the clipped ends of die cuts from the Memory Box Holly Double Arch die set. Fairy Sugar on the roof snow.

Here it is flat, ready to go in the envelope.  Oh, the snow on the bottom of the siding is from the snow die in the Winter House Pop Up Easel Set. I used the roof line and trimmed it down.

I wish I could run across the street and show you this card in real life!  Something the receiver will treasure I’m sure.  I know I would if someone sent it to me!  So have fun making these and sharing your love of papercrafting!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Holler if you have any questions and share your cards with me too!

poppystamps Bird House Pop Up Easel Card…

Hi everyone!  Yesterday while two of our granddaughters were here making cards, I started this NEW Bird House Pop Up Easel card. After supper and this morning I had to finish it and take pictures.

In my excitement to share it, I forgot the plan!  I meant to put the new Memory Box Fairy Sugar Dewdrop on the snow! lol  I will add it to the snow and berries on my card before I send it.

I have a lot of pictures to throw in this post.  This is a super well thought out die set and goes together easily!

The only other die I used is the poppy Garden Leaves and Berries die. I die cut them in white cardstock and colored them with Copics to embellish the base sentiment.

I die cut the birdhouse piece in white cardstock and inked it with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink to give it an old birdhouse feel.  I edged all the pieces with the same ink.  Next time I will use Gathered Twigs though, that’s what I usually use with kraft.  Vintage Photo was already out. lol

The cardinal die has embossed markings where the black piece and beak are.  I just die cut it in red, a scrap of black and a scrap of gold, then trimmed out the black and gold and glued them on.

Here it is from the front again…

Here it is from the side…

Here it is flat, ready to go in the envelope…

Here I’m showing how easily it will fit into an A2 size envelope.

A perfect gift that can be mailed with one forever stamp but treasured for years because of this easel fun fold!

I want to play with it and jazz it up some more! lol This was going to just be my prototype but I ended up carrying on and finishing it, well, except for the Fairy Sugar!  ugh. lol

I’m also thinking it will make super cute ornaments!  I’m all about Christmas tree ornaments. lol

Thanks for clicking over and holler if you have any questions!

Two Cards with Memory Box NEW Christmas Dies…

Merry Christmas in plaids!  Have you seen this new 6×6 Christmas Plaid pattern paper pad from Memory Box?  Some beautiful plaids with gold accents! I used two of the designs for my cards today.

I love the masculine feel of these two cards and especially this one.  I die cut the Pointed Pine Needle Frame three times, glued them together and then over the top of the the plaid pattern that I die cut with a matching size from the Memory Box Rectangle Basics set.

I die cut the Bazzill Gummy Worms cardbase with the Memory Box Double Stitch Rectangle Cut Out die set. Then placed the Pine Needle frame in the cut out area.  I used Wrapped Stitched Rectangle dies on the back side, inside of the cardbase.

I added several small gold pearls just to bling it up a bit.

The NEW Memory Box Special Merry Christmas is die cut from gold Metallic cardstock.

Inside…Memory Box NEW Pointy Pine Needle Sprigs and sentiment from the MB Holiday Greenery clear stamp set.

Next card…

 

Have you been looking for an awesome Pinecone die?  Well, here it is and it’s so easy to put together!  The NEW Memory Box Pinecone Stackers die.

I die cut the pine cones in TE Toffee Cardstock.  I left them in the die and embossed the holes with a stylus and inked through the same holes with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the foam blending tool, using the die like a stencil.

When I took the pieces out of the die, I inked the edges with the same Distress ink and tool.

But, there’s NEW Glitter glue from Memory Box called Fairy Sugar!  Four beautiful holiday colors!  So I had to glam up the pinecones with the NEW Sunlit Gold Fairy Sugar!  ❤

I die cut the Forest Pine Branch in Toffee cardstock also and colored it with Copics, then added the NEW Dewdrop Fairy Sugar to the Pine Branches!  I really like this stuff.  It’s thinner and easy to spread and dries up so pretty!

I wanted to use a different sentiment die so I got out last years Merry Christmas Noted Script die and cut it in Metallic Gold cardstock.

I used the Double Stitch Rectangle Cut Out die again for the panel that I put on a metallic gold cardbase.  I’m getting a lot of mileage out of the Double Stitch Rectangle Cut Out die set. ❤

Both cards today are A2 size.  So happy with how these turned out. Check out the new release!  I’m going to do a few poppystamps dies next.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I haven’t been able to reply to comments lately with all the card picture taking and editing… just so you know, I thank you and appreciate them very much!  It makes my day and makes me smile!
