Waffle Flower-Triangle Trees Die, Print & Script Merry Christmas Die

For my first project I die cut the smallest tree from the Triangle Trees Die Set repeatedly to create this fun pattern. I backed each opening with solid colored cardstock and added a sentiment using the Print & Script Merry Christmas Die along with a sentiment from the Subsentiments Christmas Tree Die-cut Sheet.

For this project I used the same Triangle Trees Die Set and die cut all four sizes of trees and layered them with another die cut sentiment from the Print & Script Merry Christmas Die Set.

I added Dew Drops to both projects for embellishment.
I love these clean, graphic designs for the holidays.

Happy STAMPtember®!

August 31, 2023

Hello and Happy STAMPtember®!! I have a couple of projects to share using some of these fun, new products!

SSS-CZ Halloween Stack

My first card features the CZ Halloween Stack Die. I used a mixture of purple and green solid colored cardstock for the sentiment and stripped it up on the background for some Halloween rainbow cheer!

My next card uses several products. For the background I used the Artwork Grid Die with white cardstock onto a cream cardbase. I used the leftover strips of rainbow cardstock from the first card to create a little strip to put under the sentiment.

SSS-Brilliant Coneflower, Fancy Giving Thanks, Artwork Grid

I die cut and embossed the Brilliant Coneflowers on Banana cardstock and then blended Grapefruit, Cappuccino & Charcoal for added color. I foiled the Thankful sentiment in gold and die cut it using coordinating dies. I added a sub-sentiment using one of the Reverse Grateful Sentiment Strips along with a few Orange Leaves Sequins.

August 30, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful, floral card using the Retro Flower Layering Stencil Set that was included in the September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Retro Flowers Layering Stencil

I used several Pawsitively Saturated inks for the color and a Reverse Bold Love Sentiment Strip for the sentiment.

Happy Circles

August 23, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of cards where I played with my circle dies to create these fun, geometric patterns.

SSS-Nested Circled, Reverse Thankful & Grateful

For this first one I used the smallest Nested Circle Die and repeatedly die cut it nine times onto a panel of Slate cardstock. I used one of the Geometric Builder Circle Dies to die cut the solid colored cardstock to adhere behind the openings. For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse Grateful and Thankful Sentiment Strips.

SSS-Nested Circled, Reverse Thankful & Grateful

I was inspired by this Happy Circles print from Society6.

I wanted to try another version and mimic similar colors in the print above.

SSS-Nested Circled, Geometric Builder Circles, Reverse Bold Mom

This time I created a square 5.5″ x 5.5″ card. My panel is out of Soft Navy and the sentiment is from the Bold Mom Sentiment Strips. The Pawsitively Everything 6 inch T Square Ruler helps a ton to get the circles straight and even.

I don’t think I will tire of colorful geometric patterns. Thanks so much for stopping by!
