Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Blog Party! Cue the Confetti!

Happy Day!  It’s that time of the year when Simon Says Stamp has a BIG release, STAMPTEMBER!

I’m participating in the blog party that starts on the Simon Says Stamp blog, HERE.

I received the stamp set  ‘Cue the Confetti‘!  Super fun to stamp a one layer card and use a lot of the stamps in the set!

I stamped in black, masked using the reverse of the positive image to fill in the balloons with ink blending.  I used the positive mask of the balloon to stamp the confetti in the background.

Very fun, festive, cute sentiments in this set!  I found them very usable and I love the Big Happy Birthday for the inside! I also stamped it in color on the envelope.

I can also see these balloons and even some of the sentiments used for other occasions like retirement.  It’s all about you today.  There’s no such thing as too much happy! YAY!  And even Make it Epic!

It was fun to do stamping!  I do so much die cutting and gluing.

I used the MISTI to stamp the sentiments and a clear block to stamp the balloons, confetti and sparkles.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I have a banner to share with your for a great giveaway when you order today or tomorrow from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope you enjoyed my celebratory card!

It’s Slim size and fits in a business size envelope.

Talk to you again soon and enjoy the Labor Day weekend!

poppystamps Neighborhood Home Card…

Hi everyone! Cute card warning! This NEW poppystamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set can be used for so many occasions.  I was thinking Congrats on your new house but ended up using the NEW poppystamps Whittle Scary Guys!  I’m glad they aren’t really scary.  (I’m not a big Halloween person)

I didn’t use the Easel part of the die set this time.  I used the house layer die to die cut a top folding card. I made a 4 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. cardbase and just kept the fold below the top cut line when I ran it through the Big Shot.

I colored the ‘guys’ with Copic Sketch Markers and covered them with glossy accents.  I put the pumpkin behind a window and the ghosts flying out of windows.  I love the curtains so I had to add them. lol

I stamped Happy Halloween on the inside from the Halloween Pumpkin stamp and die set.

I die cut the Boo Poe Script twice from white cardstock and once from Black Glossy cardstock.  Glued them together a little off so you can see the white behind the black.

Straight forward….cutting and gluing and an A2 size card!

I can’t wait to see what everyone else does with this die set.  I think it needs decorated for Christmas!

I still have some card kits for sale…info at the bottom of the post HERE.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  I hope you’re enjoying some pretty almost Fall days! I can’t believe it!

Stampendous Santa Hugs Card and Tags…

Hi everyone!  So…..I fell in love with this adorable reindeer when I saw it!  Had to have it! lol  The Santa has grown on me too!  The sentiments that go with these dies are adorable too and have dies and make fun tags a long with being so cute on cards! Rudolph would be so cute by himself on a tag!

Here’s the inside…

Santa is a hugging machine with his arms open and used with these sentiments!

I made two tags with Holiday Hugs Sentiments Stamps and Hugs Accessories Dies. So many fun combos and add fun twine and Doodlebug colored clothespins!  CUTE!

Anything with a heart and postal!

Here’s some more photos of Santa and Rudolph!

I added some candy canes and peppermints from the Spellbinders Parcel and Post Christmas Decorations Die set.  Super fun smallish die set with holly, mistletoe and a bow too!

I took so many pictures of this card trying to capture the details.

I used the Art Glittering System Dries White Glue for the fluff on his hat trim and cuffs.  I wish I could show it to you IRL!

The pine branches are from the Spellbinders Winter Welcome Sled Die set.  An awesome die set for Holiday cards!

I love this Spellbinders In The Pines Embossing Folder too!  It’s big…use a half sheet of cardstock and get two A2 card bases in one shot!

I used some Gathered Twigs, Hickory Smoke and Lumberjack Plaid Distress inks to edge the die cuts.  Glue and mount to the cardbase.

The snow is just a torn piece of white cardstock.   Super fun card and tags!

Spellbinders Breezy Swing Small Die of the Month Club for August…

Hi everyone!  This is a change from the festive cards I’ve been posting.  I don’t normally do pastels so this is a real change for me! Such a dainty, lovely lady on a fine Summer day wishing you Hello!

The sentiment is a fun change from the ordinary also.  It comes separate so you can use it or not use it!

One of our granddaughters loves to swing…this might just be going to her.

I made it an A7 size so it gives the appearance of being clean and simple.

Decide what papers you want to use, die cut, glue and it’s ready to mail!  One postage stamp will do it! YAY!

I used Lawn Fawns Flower Market 6×6 paper pad for her dress and hat band.

I used the branch from the Sweet Birds on a Branch die set. Everything else comes in the set.

Hope she makes you smile!  Love the extra little details.  Spellbinders is really coming up with some amazing sets!

Learn about the Clubs of the month HERE and this particular Stamp and Die of the Month HERE.  Sign up window is from the 6th of the month to the 27th of the month!  Three more days to get in on this month!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I have some more Christmas to share real soon…as soon as I get pictures.

Memory Box NEW Fanciful Gilded Frame Two Ways…

Hi everyone!  Second card with the parts I glued up with the NEW Birch Press Design dies.  This time I used a NEW Memory Box die for the background.  Fanciful Gilded Frame.

The first thing I made with the frame though was this place card!  I looked at the die and thought, this could be folded in half and used for table decorations!

I made this in 15 minutes!  That’s a record make for me time wise!

Back to the top card…

I started the wreath by laying out the four large leaves I’d made from the Forest Leaf and Berries Contour Layers dies, top, bottom and both sides.

Then I added four of the Jolly Holly Contour Layers dies.

Then I went back to the Forest set and put in the four small dies, pretty much beside the holly.

Then I added the berries from the Jolly Holly dies.

I only had two of the small branches from the Oval Leaf Brances Contour Layer so I added them on the inside of the wreath top and bottom.

I cut up the Budding Twigs Contour Layers dies and inserted them here and there.

It looks complicated to me but laying it out like this, it went together fast! YAY!

It really turned out pretty if I do say so myself! lol  I never know! lol

I added some Memory Box Pastel Fairy Jewels in the light green color….matchy! lol

It’s an A2 size card and will go through the mail fine with one stamp! YAY!

Back to the pumpkin…

Do you do name cards?  We don’t because…big family!  I took pictures of this design without the banner too because I would more than likely use it more for a decorative piece here and there or maybe to put in front of a dish to tell what it is!

I love this pretty NEW Autumn Pumpkin from Memory Box.  The details are ‘built in’… die cut and it’s ready to go!  I did add a little Spiced Marmalade Distress ink with an ink blending brush but you wouldn’t have to!

I quick cut an extra pumpkin to back the pumpkin. View from the back….

I had this denim looking cardstock still out on the desk so I used it but you could use any Autumn color you like!

Here it is with the banner again.  I used the banner die from a poppystamps foil and cut die set, Modest Banner Greetings.

Both designs are festive and fun!  YAY for holidays!

One more thing….I made some kits for stamp club this month and I have three left.  Everything is die cut/included to make one card!   $15 includes the postage to you in the USA.  This is the card for the kit.   OH, I did use a white glaze pen on the icing, eyes and buttons and some blush on the ginger’s cheeks. That is not included in the kit.

Email or comment if you want one!

Thank you for visiting my blog today!  It’s so hot here this week, we had a couple really nice weeks, now it’s back to real Summer!  I hope to get a lot done in my stamp room where it’s nice and cool!
