So Talkative

September 14, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the new So Talkative October 2021 Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-So Talkative, Talk Bubbles Stencil

To begin I trimmed strips of solid colored cardstock from the assorted cardstock pack that comes in the kit. This is such a fantastic assortment that gives you the full spectrum of cardstock. I will be buying more of these packs for sure! I adhered the strips onto a white panel using tape runner.

SSS-So Talkative, Talk Bubbles Stencil

I used the Talk Bubbles Stencil with White Pigment ink right onto the adhered strips. This gave a subtle speech bubble but still allowed you to see the colorful stripes underneath.

Shimmering Snowflakes

September 8, 2021

Hi there! Popping in to share a quick peek at the latest Gina K Designs STAMPtember® 2021 Exclusive Collaboration called Shimmering Snowflakes. This set is unfortunately already sold out, but I share these STAMPtember® projects as inspiration for ideas that you can use with products that you might already have. Perhaps you already have a snowflake stamp set. This could very well be adapted to any larger solid image that could be embossed in white onto vellum.

I used the Nested Circle dies with solid colored cardstock to draw the eye towards the snowflake. The snowflake was embossed in white onto vellum and the sentiment embossed in white onto black. I used one of the Sentiment Label dies to cut out the sentiment strip.
