STAMPtember® with Hero Arts!

September 6, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the fun, new STAMPtember® collaboration with Hero Arts called Snowy & Bright. I fell in love with this one. I love this simplistic hand drawn style of ice skaters with the adorable pup looking on.

SSS-STAMPtember®, Hero Arts-Snowy & Bright

I stamped the images with black ink and colored with Copics. I am happy to report that this new black ink is indeed copic friendly. I don’t say that lightly, because most have given me such a headache. This one did not bleed!!

Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for more information and inspiration using this fun, new Hero Arts collaboration! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Festive Kit

September 5, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the fun, new Festive Kit that will be used in a technique workshop with Tim Holtz. This is such a fun bundle of products that can be purchased individually or all together.

SSS-Festive Watercolor, Festive Tags, Festive Words

I used a Peacock background and a tag from the Festive Tags with Mint. I used the Festive Words dies with matte gold and vellum for the sentiment. I used the Festive Watercolor stamp set for the blooms.

The Greetery-Hint of Autumn Collection Reveal Day 2

August 26, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m back with The Greetery to help introduce more of the new Hint of Autumn Collection.

My first card features the Wild Wetlands die set. This is a showstopper! I used all solid colored cardstock and added some blending in like colors to add dimension. I adhered the wetlands cluster on a scalloped Rustic Cream mat using the Capsule Basics die set and adhered it to a Stardust base.

My next card showcases the Mushroom Meadow foil & stencil set. First I used the Mushroom Meadow foil plate with gold foil and then added color using the Mushroom Meadow stencil set. For the sentiment I used the Scripted Sentiments stamp & die.

Here is a video showing how I created this card.

My last card features the Autumn Herbarium stamp, stencil, die & embossing folder. First I stamped the leaves, then I blended the color. I die cut the leaves and then added them to the embossing folder for incredible texture. I added mats using the Capsule Basics die set and sentiments from the Thankful & Blessed set.
