Moments in Time Release

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using some of the new Moments in Time Collection by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Happy Cover, Happy

My first project features the Happy Cover die along with the coordinating Happy stamp set. I matched some enamel dots to the solid colored cardstock and embossed the sentiment in white onto black.

My next card uses the Groovy Floral embossing folder, Bold Flower die set and Giggle Hello for the sentiment.

Happy Days

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project that was over on the Simon Says Stamp blog last week using this adorable new CZ Modern Scrapbook set. This is such a fun set to customize using photos. Here I used a photo from the day we got Hank and a more recent photo of Hank, both with my youngest daughter, Emma.

Pawsitively Saturated Ink Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Pawsitvely Saturated Ink Blog Hop. This was an easy one for me considering these inks are at the top of my most used list. I grabbed the Petal Builder die set and went to town. For the sentiment I used an oldy but a goody, the CZ Hi There Greetings set.

Bubble Flower and Leaves

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the Bubble Flower and Leaves dies by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Bubble Flower and Leaves, CZ Little Banners Basics

I had some fun playing with the dimension on this one. Some of the leaves were left open while others were popped up. I also added some subtle blending to the leaves and blooms for more color.

SSS-Bubble Flower and Leaves, CZ Little Banners Basics

For the sentiment I used the CZ Little Banners Basics with Shimmer Vellum and Matte Gold cardstock and for the embellishments I used some clear gem stickers.
