Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project mixing some old and new product by Simon Says Stamp. The adorable pup is from the Round of Appaws stamp & die set. I added the heart from CZ Noted Heart set along with the word die from CZ Hi There die set.
I added some strips of solid colored cardstock onto a buttercream panel and then added an embossed subsentiment from the Punny Animals stamp set.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the Halloween Friends set by Simon Says Stamp. I used only the kitten image repeatedly to create a non-halloween card.
I stamped the kitten images with Intense Black ink and colored them with copics. For the background I used a sheet from one of the Pastel Color Blends Assortment Pack. I embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock from the Punny Animals set and popped the images and sentiment up using 3D foam squares.
Our little cat, Frankie, looks exactly like the bottom, middle cat. He is very thin and always arched up, stretching and giving you this blank stare. Not sure what he’s trying to say. My son brought him home from Germany so maybe that’s where the communication gap is? The moving truck comes today to load everything in our house, and tomorrow we leave very early to start a new chapter in Minnesota. Our family is excited, a little sentimental and very exhausted all at the same time. We have been purging and purging and packing and purging. The bags just keep coming and coming. It never stops.
I am very excited to have my own craft room in this new house. I will, hopefully, try and document the process. Looking forward to sharing more with you from Minnesota. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Just popping in to share a couple of projects featuring the fun, new Rest and Refresh release by Simon Says Stamp.
This first card uses the Peeking Cat die.
I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock to the top of an A4 sized card and die cut the Peeking Cat right into the card base. For the sentiment I used Punny Animals.
This next card uses the Peeking Pup die. These are so adorable and would be perfect for shaker cards with their window openings.
I embossed a sentiment from Punny Animals for this card as well.
Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more of this fun new release. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hello & Happy DieCember®! Simon Says Stamp just released a super fun & festive DieCember® collection. Around 44 fantastic new dies. I’ve been crankin’ my Big Shot like nobody’s bizzz! My arms are gonna be so fit for the holiday, ha!
I’ve got a couple of projects to share with you today featuring some of the new DieCember® goodies. This card features the Santa Cat & Santa Pup dies. I framed them using the largest Stitched Ovals dies and added a sentiment from Coolest Yulest. The plaid background paper is by Lawn Fawn. I also added some highlights to the eyes using a gel pen.
Next up, my favorite this besides a rainbow or a shaker card is a shape card. This one is perfectly pandastic!
I used the Big Picture Book Panda die along with the Big Picture Book Medium body. I traced the outline of the head and body todether to make a simple card base and adhered everything to the base. Believe me when I tell you I scrounged my house like a mad woman to find something adorably delicious to tuck inside his hands, but came up with nothing! So a cute little puffy gold sticker it was. I think a mini candy cane would be perfection for this, too!
For the inside of the shape card I stamped a sentiment from Punny Animals. Oh, and by the way I found the perfect way to add a subtle rosy cheek to these picture book animals. I used a Detail Blending tool with Spun Sugar ink and it worked like a charm!
I’ll be back tomorrow for a fun blog hop featuring more DieCember® goodies! Check out the new release HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there & Happy Black Friday! Are you kitten me right meow? I hosted Thanksgiving yesterday so of course I am still in my pajamas and I am not sorry about it one little bit, ha!
For this card I used the Right Meow stamp set. I stamped the images with Memento ink and colored them with Copics. For the background I used some Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper. For the sentiment I used my beloved Punny Animals set.
Not sure if you can see it, but I added some glossy accents to the one kitty’s glasses and some Nuvo drops to the pearl necklace on the other kitty.
If you are like me and enjoy the kind of Black Friday shopping that allows you to stay in your pj’s then I thought I’d mention some fantastic deals over at Simon Says Stamp.
And back by popular demand is the special Black Friday Crafty Parcel. The perfect gift for your crafty friend or maybe your crafty self:)
Enjoy your day & thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Fun and Festive Release Blog Hop! I have a couple of project to share using some of the awesome new products.
My first project features the Dancing Deer die. For the background I embossed the Mod Trees Background stamp onto Fog cardstock.
I used the Nested Circle dies on Slate & Schoolhouse Red to create a frame for the Dancing Deer. The sentiment is from the Ornamental stamp & die set.
My next card features the Big Picture Book Bear & Hugs dies.
This is such way to give someone money in card, but you could also tuck in some candy or whatever you can fit inside those cuddly hugging arms.
I stamped a sentiment on the the inside of the card using the Punny Animals stamp set.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
