Happy 4th!

Hello & Happy Independence Day to all my American friends! I’ve created a cute little card  for the 4th of July by combing several stamps & dies by Simon Says Stamp.
SSS-Happy 4thI used the bicycle & puppy images from the Beautiful Ride set and added a cute little American flag by using the flag image from Cute Chicks. The tiny star in the flag is from the Lots of Stars set and then I used my Multiliner pen to draw the stripes.
SSS-Happy 4thI used the Big Numbers stamps & dies for the “4th” and added an embossed “happy” from Spring Seeds. For the hills I used the Stitched Slopes & Hills dies. It’s so fun to pull out all your older stamps & dies and combine them in different ways to make something totally fresh & new!
SSS-Happy 4thHope you have a wonderful day & thanks so much for stopping by!

SSS-So Cool

Hi there! Today I have a fun popsicle shaker to share featuring the So Cool set by Simon Says Stamp.SSS-So CoolI used the coordinating So Cool dies to create little popsicle windows all over a panel of Neenah Solar White cardstock. Then, using the die cut panel as a guide, I stamped all the popsicles onto my card base and colored them with Copics.
SSS-So CoolI used the double sided foam strips to adhere all around each popsicle so that I could feel each shaker window with these delicious Queen & Company Diamonds. These rainbow shaker diamonds are absolutely gorgeous!
SSS-So CoolAfter I adhered my shaker together I added an embossed sentiment, also from the So Cool stamp set.SSS-So CoolIf only you could each rainbow popsicles with rainbow diamond shakers on them:) I would be in heaven! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mermaid Kisses

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the adorable Mermaid Kisses set.Mama Elephant-Mermaid KissesFor the background I used the Hillside Cover-Creative Cut. I die cut it onto Bristol paper and blended several distress inks followed by some flicks of water. This is my first time testing out the Bristol paper. Why oh why did I wait so long? It is absolutely amazing to blend on and the flicks of water show up beautifully, too.Mama Elephant-Mermaid KissesAll the images were stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copics. Then I used the Mermaid Kisses-Creative Cuts to die cut them out and popped them up with foam tape.
Mama Elephant-Mermaid KissesI embossed a sentiment from Happy Mail in white onto a black strip of cardstock. These images are so darn cute!

You can check out the new release HERE.Simon Says Stamp-Picture Book Bear & FoxI’ve created a couple of cutie patootie bookmark cards featuring the Picture Book Bear & Fox die.
