Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Rest & Refresh Release Blog Hop! I’ve got two cards to share with you featuring the Hexagon Element die.
For this first card I blended Distress Oxides on a panel, flicked with water and also flicked with smooshes Oxides and then die cut the panel using the Hexagon Element die.
For the background I flicked some Licorice Liquid Watercolor and popped the panel onto a Fog base. I adhered a gold metallic die cut hexagon onto the panel and popped up the blended hexagons with foam tape. For the sentiment I used the Hex Yeah set by Cathy Zielske.
For this next card I some of the leftovers from the first card. The blended hexagon outline die cut was adhered to a white panel and filled with a few of the gold metallic hexagons. That’s what ya call being thrifty AND nifty:)
For the sentiment I used the Big Friend die and added a few Sparkling Clear sequins for embellishment.
Here’s video to show you how I created these cards.

Hi there! Just popping in to share a couple of projects featuring the fun, new Rest and Refresh release by Simon Says Stamp.
This first card uses the Peeking Cat die.
I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock to the top of an A4 sized card and die cut the Peeking Cat right into the card base. For the sentiment I used Punny Animals.
This next card uses the Peeking Pup die. These are so adorable and would be perfect for shaker cards with their window openings.
I embossed a sentiment from Punny Animals for this card as well.
Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more of this fun new release. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! Today I’m excited to by joining It’s My, JD for her 50K Subscriber Celebration Hop!
My project features the Big Birthday Greetings stamp set. I embossed the candles in clear and blended distress inks for the color. I die cut the candles the, popped them up onto a white card base and embossed the sentiment from CZ Simple Sentiments 2. To finish it off I added some glossy accents to the flames of the candles.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Hi there! Today I have a few hockey shaker cards to share with you. Hockey season, for the kids, has ended over here, but not for the NHL. The guys in our family are knee deep into the Stanley Cup playoffs. They’ve got that TV blairing every single night, yelping at the screen like hyenas.
I used a cut file from the Silhouette store for the hockey player image and cut them on my Silhouette machine.
I backed the window with acetate and filled the shakers with an assortment of sequins to coordinate with the colored card bases. I was concerned that my boys might think that the sequins were “too girly”, but surprisingly they loved them! You just never know with guys:)
I wanted to keep the sentiment very clean and simple so I went with the CZ Thanks die.
Now that soccer season just ended, it’s time to make a few soccer coach thank you cards, too. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the Beach Chickies stamp set along with the coordinating Beach Chickies-Creative Cuts.
To begin I masked off the background to blend Distress Oxides to go behind the Tri Window Cover-Creative Cut. This was my first time trying out the Life Changing Blender Brushes. Oh my goodness! Why did I ever doubt? They are amazing for a soft, subtle background blend.
I stamped the images from Beach Chickies with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copics and popped them up inside the windows of the Tri Window Cover die cut. I added a couple sentiments, also from Beach Chickies.
I could go for a sunny day on the beach. It’s been raining cats and dogs here in Illinois. Sending you lots of sunshine today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’ve got a super simple thank you card. My son, Charlie, asked me to make a “not-so-girly” thank you card for his teacher. This is what I came up with and guess what…Charlie loved it!
I used the CZ Design All Caps No. 01 dies with lots of colorful cardstock. For the background I used some old pattern paper that looked like notebook paper, but you can also print your own.
Sometimes the simplest cards end up being my most favorite. When Charlie came home, I asked him, “Did the teacher say anything about your card?” (I always ask that, ha ha) He said, “He did! He said, “Awwww Chuckie! You didn’t have to. Did your mom make this?” Charlie just smiled and said, “Yep!” So funny. Well, that’s all for story time today:) Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m sharing one of the MANY graduation cards that I’ve made lately. I wish I had more pictures to show you of the many others, but this was the basic layout and I just switched out the pattern papers and shaker colors to match the papers.
This one uses some pattern paper by Pinkfresh Studio. The sentiment is one of my favorites for graduation cards. It from the CZ Rad Grad set. I stamped the graduation cap with Apple ink.
I die cut the pattern paper using one of the the Stitched Rectangles dies as well as one of the Stitched Ovals dies for the shaker window. It’s hard to see in the photo, but it gives the card a really nice finish. I filled the shaker with more of those delicious Pure Sheen Gems by Tonic.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
