Hi there! Today I have a super duper colorful card to share with you featuring the Perfect Shapes & Big Hugs dies by Simon Says Stamp.
This was so fun & deceivingly easy to make. First I die cut a million hexagons out. I considered it an upper body workout:) I used Canson Watercolor paper, which by the way worked fantastically with all the distress inks. I smoothed the in pads onto an acrylic block and simply used a wet brush to quickly paint each hexagon.
I love the vibrant spectrum of colors! I spent a good hour putzing around, shifting & sorting the hexagons until I was happy with the layout.
Then I popped each one up with a foam square as well as the Big Hugs sentiment.
Here’s wishing you a wonderfully bright & vibrant day full of big hugs:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! Today I have a fun project to share featuring the Iconic Letters stamp set by Mama Elephant.
I saw this hilarious saying on a t-shirt and thought it would great card. I used the Iconic Letters stamp set along with several delicious Mama Elephant pigment inks to stamp the saying.
Just now realizing that I forgot to add the apostrophe in “don’t”(just ignore that, ha ha) To get the spacing right I used the same technique that I did for this card where I share a video on that. It is time consuming, but I haven’t found a better way to do it yet.
I finally jumped on the “pom pom” train(it’s all Jennifer McGuire’s fault) I added a few and clipped them on the side for fun. Hope this sentiment makes you smile. Laughter is good medicine:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the beautiful His Love stamp set.
I stamped the large, scripty sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black using my Mini Misti onto some Pink Paislee C’est La Vie pattern paper.
I used an Oval Infinity die by Hero Arts to frame the gorgeous sentiment and added a few felt flowers. I didn’t use any dies for the flowers. Here’s a little video that shows exactly how I made mine.

Hello there! I’m excited to share a project showcasing the latest Hopping Along Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.
This kit has so many fun products in it. I didn’t know where to start! The first thing that popped out at me was the unique die that’s included in the kit. It’s a Train Track slider die. How fun is that?
To begin I embossed the gorgeous Mod Flower Background stamp in clear and then blended some delicious, springy colors including the brand new ink color that is part of the kit…Orange Slush(love!)
I used the Easter Express Doodle Pop sticker for my slider image. Do you know how painful it was to use that one sticker? I might have to buy 10 more because they are so perfect with the Train Track slider die.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this fun card.

Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the adorable Lil’ Painters set as well as the Cute Basket creative cuts.
I stamped the cute chickies using my Mini Misti and colored them in with Copics. The sentiment is from Crafty Labels and the bow is from All Prettied Up.
This Cute Basket is so quick & easy to put together and perfect for a little favor or Easter treat. I used some pattern papers by Papertrey Ink which I can’t seem to find on their website anymore?

Hi there! Just poppin’ in today with a project featuring the adorable Some Bunny stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.
How cute are these images? I LOVE the striped eggs! I stamped all the images with my MISTI and colored them with Copics.
For the background I masked off the ground and blended Cracked Pistachio and Antique Linen. I also added a few subtle flicks of watercolors. I fussy cut all the images out and popped them up with foam tape.
In picture below I have clear envelope filled with pattern paper beneath my card which I used Nuvo Mousse on an Egg Stencil. This was all part of the March 2017 card kit that sold out so fast, but most things are sold separately that I linked to below.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! Today I’m joining Mama Elephant as we highlight the gorgeous Freesia stamp set.
I embossed the flower image in clear onto watercolor cardstock. Then I used my watercolors to color it in.
I added a sentiment from His Love embossed in white onto a black strip of cardstock.
Check out the Mama Elephant blog for more amazing projects featuring the Freesia stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! Yesterday I shared this project over on the Altnew blog featuring the Smile More stamp & die set. I thought I’d share it here on my blog for those who might not have seen it yet.
I love these gorgeous blooms and thought they’d look awesome colored in with the emboss resist technique.
I blended a bit of Volcano Lake ink along the bottom of my panel for a little color that would compliment the flowers.
For the sentiment I stamped, die cut and popped up the ‘smile more’ sentiment. I also added another sentiment underneath from the Adore You set.
Here’s a video to show you how I created my card.
