Window Shoppe Pop-Up

March 22, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun project using the Window Shoppe Pop-Up Base Die by Concord & 9th.

Concord & 9th-Window Shoppe Pop-Up

This is such a fun die that you can customize with any solid colored cardstock or pattern paper to get a different look. I used mainly Concord & 9th cardstock for my shoppe and add-ons. I added some teeny pom-poms to the strand of lights for some fun and embossed a sentiment from the Flower Shoppe Stamp Set.

Just For You Release

March 15, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of project using some of the fun, new Just for You release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Layered Bunny, Reverse Some Bunny

My first card features the adorable Layered Bunny die. I created a colorful background using the Nested Circle dies and for the sentiment I used one of the new Reverse Some Bunny Sentiment Strips. I trimmed the sentiment strip in half and put the second part on the inside of the card.

Sweet Tweets Easter Kit

March 1, 2023

Hi there! Just popping in to share a project using the new Sweet Tweets Easter Kit by Simon Says Stamp. To begin I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock onto a panel for the background. Using the new Posy die, I stacked three up using the Micro Dot Adhesive Sheets. For the sentiment I used the Sweet Tweets stamp set.

Hi Gorgeous

February 28, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a super simple project using some of my hoarded sequins. This year I made a resolution to get my embellishments more organized. I haven’t done a single thing about that yet. Are you surprised? I am, however, trying to be mindful to just USE THEM!

SSS-CZ Hi There Greetings

This was a fun card to make. I stamped that lovely, bold “hi” from CZ Hi There Greetings and then die cut using a nested circle die. I adhered a rainbow of sequins behind the die cut using sequins from several different packs. It was a treasure hunt, for sure, trying to find the right colors and size but worth it.

SSS-CZ Hi There Greetings

Can you believe tomorrow is March? February flew by! Hank and I are ready for warmer dog-walking temperatures😊 Thanks so much for stopping by!
