New! Cozy Hugs Release

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using the fun, new Cozy Hugs release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Basic Box Card Christmas Tree

My first card features the new Basic Box Card Christmas Tree die set. I used the Basic Box Card die set to create the base with Sea Glass cardstock. I added a couple of snowy hills using the Box Card Borders dies. For the sentiment I used one of the new Reverse Christmas Wishes sentiment strips.

I forgot to mention that included in the Cozy Hugs release is some new Tear-rific Tape in 1/8″ and 1/4″ widths. The 1/8″ tape is perfect for adhering the Basic Box Card together.

SSS-Basic Box Card Haunted House

This next card uses the Basic Box Card Haunted House die set with a Reverse Witch Please sentiment strip. I added a few embellishments from the Magical sequin mix.

Hi there! Today I am sharing a preview of the upcoming Limited Edition First Night Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp. This kit will ship not ship until mid-late October, but is available for pre-order today!

SSS-First Night, Holy Stars stencil

For my card I blended a soft night sky using distress inks in: Chipped Sapphire, Prize Ribbon, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio. I then took the Holy Stars Stencil that comes in the kit and blended over the night sky using the same colors.

SSS-First Night, Holy Stars stencil

STAMPtember® with Tim Holtz

Hi there! STAMPtember® keeps rolling with a fabulous collaboration by Tim Holtz featuring a festive cling stamp set and stencil.

STAMPtember®-Tim Holtz

I started by stamping the scene with Intense Black ink onto Hammermill. I blended night sky using Tumbled Glass, Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire. For the rest I colored with Copics. I used white pigment ink with the stencil to add a soft snowfall and then embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock.
