September 15, 2018
Hi there! Have you seen the super fun Limited Edition Halloween Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp? It’s full of so many fun things for all your Halloween crafting, gift giving & decorating.
My first project features the adorable Ghost Boo die. I popped the ghost up over some Pebbles Spooky Boo paper that is included in the kit. I die cut a large circle window into Orange Peel cardstock using one of the Nested Circle dies.
I also whipped up a super simple goodie bag using one of the Paper Kraft bags included in the kit. I embellished the bag with a few tags die cut using one of the Large Tag dies with more of that Pebbles Spooky Boo paper. I added a few die cut pieces from the Spooky Boo Ephemera pack.

STAMPtember® Exclusive Limited Edition: Waffle Flower

STAMPtember® Exclusive Limited Edition: Concord & 9th
September 9, 2018
Hi there! I’m back with another exclusive collaboration for STAMPtember®! This time we are featuring the adorable Monster Hugs stamp set designed by Concord & 9th.
I immediately thought of Sully from the Monsters, Inc. movie. We have watched that movie a million times over the years and it’s still one of my favorites, but nothing will ever beat Ratatouille for me, though:)
Anyways, I simply stamped the adorable images from Monsters Hugs with Memento ink and colored them with Copics. This is a smaller 3.5 x 5″ card. Sometimes you just can’t beat a super simple one-layer-wonder, right?
You can see more inspiration using this fun new collaboration over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!

STAMPtember® Exclusive Limited Edition: Gina K Designs
September 7, 2018
Hi there! I’m back again with another fun STAMPtember® collaboration by Gina K Design called Joy of the Season.
You guessed it! I pulled out the old Gina K Designs Wreath Builder Stencil for this puppy. I just had to try it with one of the snowflake images from Joy of the Season.
I stamped it with Mama Elephant pigment inks and added teeny tiny clear droplets to the centers of the snowflakes. I used a Nested Circle die to create a simple white frame and popped it up onto a white cardbase. I’m in love.
Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for more information on this fun new Gina K Designs STAMPtember® exclusive. Thanks so much for stopping by!
