Sunny Vibes

June 19, 2024

Hi there! Have you seen the fun, new Sunny Vibes release with Simon Says Stamp? I’m sharing a couple of projects using some of these happy, new products.

My first card features the Repeating Rainbow die. I mean….can you even handle it? I paired it with the CZ Good Vibes die which I die cut out of vellum and holographic cardstock.

SSS-Repeating Rainbow, CZ Good Vibes

You could get so many fun looks by changing up the cardstock colors with this Repeating Rainbow die. I also added a few Mermaid Tail embellishments for some bling.

My next card features the Mini Fab Floral Plate. I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock behind for color and added a matte gold and vellum sentiment using the new You Brighten My Day die.

There are so many different looks you could get with this die, too. I’m thinking back it with acetate and make it a shaker or inlay rainbow petals into each opening. That would take forever, but it would look so cool!

New Distress Spritz!

June 15, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using some of the fun, new Distress Spritz colors by Tim Holtz. These are so fun and shimmery. Who doesn’t love shimmer?

I did a very simple project by masking off edges of a panel of Bristol with acetate and spritzing several colors. The colors I used on my project are(working from bottom and them clockwise) Picked Raspberry(my fave), Fossilized Amber, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade and Barn Door. I added a simple die cut sentiment using the CZ Simple Hello die with vellum & matte champagne cardstock.

Aurora Blooms

May 31, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m sharing another project using the gorgeous Aurora Blooms dies.

SSS-Aurora Blooms, Vintage Garden

For the background I die cut a panel of Buttercream cardstock using one of the Modern Postage dies. Then I masked off the edges and blended Buttercream ink onto the panel as well as flicking some gold aqua pigment on it. I stamped the sentiment from Vintage Garden in Black and Latte ink. Then I created a small cluster of blooms using the Aurora Blooms die set.

Here is a reel I shared showing how I created this card. I love this gorgeous font paired with the postage border and blooms. Such a fun, vintage inspired yet still clean and colorful design.

Rainy Days

May 29, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using some older products. I was busy cleaning and organizing my stamps & dies yesterday. You know what happens when you do that? Well, first of all, you get completely overwhelmed and want to light the house on fire. Then you find old stuff that you forgot about and loved and feel inspired to use it again.

SSS-Rainy Days, Nested Domed Arches, Cozy Autumn Hugs

We have had a ton of rain here in Illinois, which inspired this card, but also, rainbow umbrella!!! I love the pop of color over the dark peacock teal background. I used the Rainy Days die set for the girl and one of the Nested Domed Arches dies to frame here. For the sentiment I pulled out the Cozy Autumn for a very something very simple. Forgot to mention, I used a tiny white gem for the center of the embrella and a tiny scrap of old pattern paper for the girl’s skirt.

I think everything looks better framed with an arch, don’t you? Here’s to some sunny and dry days ahead. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Miss You

April 30, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a card using some die cut scraps that I’ve had laying around. When I do reveal videos for Simon Says Stamp I often have several die cut samples left over in piles that just lay there for months. They are too pretty to throw away, but I often don’t take time to use them. Today I finally did it! I used my scraps. It makes you feel so nifty and thrifty, lol.

SSS-Aurora Blooms, Daisy Oval Frame, CZ Hi There Greetings

The blooms are from the Aurora Blooms die set. This is such a gorgeous floral die set. I also had a couple of leaf die cuts from the Leafy Sprig that worked perfectly. I used a couple of enamel dots for the centers. For the frame I used a die cut from the Daisy Oval Frame. For the sentiment I embossed the “miss you” in gold onto white from the CZ Hi There Greetings.

I love how this came together from leftovers. Somehow it makes me feel like I’ve just saved money. Should I go buy myself something know, ha ha. Isn’t that what they call “girl math”? That’s what my daughters tell me. I need an interpreter! Thanks so much for stopping by!
