September 12, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m joining Pinkfresh Studio for their holiday release blog hop.

Pinkfresh Studio-Tidings of Great Joy, Brushed Sentiments Holiday

My first project features the Good Tiding of Great Joy stamp, die & stencil set. I blended the colors first using Pinkfresh Studio inks. Then I stamped the image with Versafine Onyx Black ink and used the coordinating die to cut out the middle. For the sentiment I used the Brushed Sentiments Holiday stencil & die set along with an embossed sentiment from the Ornaments stamp set.

My second card features the Swirl Background Stencil set. I couldn’t resist making a rainbow, but this looks amazing in traditional holiday colors as well.

Pinkfresh Studio-Swirl Background, Joy

For the sentiment I used the Joy Hot Foil Plate with Champagne foil and stamped an additional sentiment from the Ornaments stamp set. I embellished both cards with the Clear Iridescent Drops.

Concord & 9th-Poinsettia Quilt Top Dies

September 11, 2022

Hi there! Popping in to share a festive shape card using the Poinsettia Quilt Top Dies by Concord & 9th. These are part of the fantastic, new September release.

Concord & 9th-Poinsettia Quilt Top Dies

I used Concord & 9th cardstock for the colored cardstock and vellum & gold cardstock for the ‘joy’ sentiment. This could easily be adhered onto a standard sized card if you prefer that instead, but I love to shake things up with a shape card every once in a while.

Here’s a quick, little reel showing how I created this card.

STAMPtember®-Memory Box

September 8, 2022

Hi there! The next STAMPtember® collaboration just released and this time we are featuring the gorgeous Beautiful Moments stamp set by Memory Box.

STAMPtember®-Memory Box-Beautiful Moments

I embossed the floral swag in clear and blended the color using detail round blending brushes. I fussy cut the blended image and popped it up framing the left side of the sentiment.

Sparkling Season

September 5, 2022

Hi there! Popping in to share a beautiful, new STAMPtember® collaboration called Sparkling Season designed by Gina K Designs for Simon Says Stamp.

STAMPtember® Collaboration with Gina K Designs-Sparkling Season

I loved this large five-pointed snowflake image and stamped it with Versamark ink onto pie-shaped pieces of solid colored cardstock. For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse From Me Christmas Sentiment Strips.

Here is a fun, little reel to show how I created this card.

I know that these collaboration sets often sell out, and I wanted to be sure to bring you a design that could easily be adapted to a snowflake image that you might already have. Thanks so much for stopping by!

New! Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils

September 3, 2022

Hello! Today I am so excited to take a first look at the new Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils. I was so fortunate to receive the Set 2 of 12 pencils to try out, but there are actually 36 colors available.

SSS-XL Teacher Greetings, Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils

I quickly swatched out the twelve colors below and they are gorgeous! I used Arches Cold Press Watercolor paper and a simple brush with water to blend out the colors. The start very pigmented and blend out seamless and smooth.

Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils

I wanted to create a simple, colorful card that showcased several of these colors so I simply drew stripes with the pencil and blended them out with a brush. I added an embossed sentiment from the XL Teacher Greetings stamp set.

Here is a video showing the swatching and card making.

These delicious new pencils are available now at Simon Says Stamp! All the links are below. Thanks so much for stopping by!

STAMPtember® Blog Party

September 2, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for a STAMPtember® Blog Party!

SSS-Happy Faces

My first card features the Happy Faces Stamp Set. I stamped several of the solid circle image using Pawsitively Saturated Inks for a dreamy overlapping rainbow design.

SSS-Happy Faces

For my next card I stamped the same solid circle image from Happy Faces and added an embossed sentiment from Circle Sayings.
