Be Creative

February 15, 2023

Hi there! The fun, new Be Creative release by Simon Says Stamp is live and I have a couple of projects to share using several of these new products.

My first card uses the CZ Angularium background cling. I inked it with a combination of Carnation, Blush & Peachy ink. For the sentiment I used the new CZ Big Old Birthday stamp set. I added a small sentiment strip from the new You Did sentiment strips.

My next card features the Brushstrokes stencil. I tested out the Stamp and Stencil Mat and LOVE IT!

SSS-Brushstrokes Stencil, CZ Big Old Birthday

For the sentiment I used the CZ Big Old Birthday again and embellished with some bubbles.

I have a walk-through reveal over on the Simon Says Stamp blog showing a closer look at all of the fun, new products in the Be Creative Release. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-February Release

February 15, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing several cards from the fun, new February release with Mama Elephant! My first card is a cute shaker using the new Little Frog Agenda. I created the shaker window using the Grid Planter Creative Cut and for the sentiment I used Hello Froggy.

This next card features the Little Frog Agenda as well. I created little window frames using the B2B Circles along with the sentiment from Hello Froggy. The cute grass is from the new Grass Duo Creative Cuts.

Concord & 9th-Sending Hugs

February 11, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of cards featuring the new Sending Hugs Stamp, Die & Stencil set.

The Sending Hugs stencil set is absolutely gorgeous! There are four stencils in the set, and I recommend using Pixie Spray for stencil #1. It will hold the letters in place while you’re blending. For this first card, I used a combination of Sprout, Parsley, Aqua Sky & Oceanside ink.

For this second card I added some confetti sprinkles on the top and bottom using the All About Cake stamp set.

I also embellished with a few enamel dots in coordinating colors.
