Mix & Match Butterflies

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the Mix & Match Butterflies stamp & die set. This set was also included in the latest March Card Kit.

SSS-Mix & Match Butterflies, CZ Basic Trio

I used the dies to create open windows for the butterflies on the background and stamped them tone on tone with matching inks & cardstock. Then I embossed a butterfly in white onto vellum and added a matte gold hello from the CZ Basic Trio die set.

Limited Edition Easter Kit

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the latest Limited Edition Easter Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Limited Edition Easter Kit

I colored one of the Floral Assortment Watercolor Cards in the Easter Kit. Using post-it tape I tried to mask off the blooms and blend ink for color, but on the leaves I just used Copics. I fussy cut the blooms out and popped them up onto one of the Watercolor Notecards included in the kit. I also took some Black Soot ink to splatter a few drops on the card base. For the sentiment I used the Hoppy Easter Stamp Set in the kit.

Splendor Release

Hi there! Popping in to share a couple of projects featuring the new Splendor release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Fancy Lucky, Fine Floral Stem

My first card uses the new Fine Floral Stem and Fancy Lucky Dies. I used one of the Reverse Lucky Sentiment Strips as well along with some Clear Dazzling Gems. I added some strips of solid colored cardstock to the background for a pop of rainbow.

SSS-Simple Flowers, CZ Birthday Basics

My second card features the Simple Flowers with a sentiment from CZ Birthday Basics. I added a few Zest sequins to the centers of some of the blooms for sparkle.

SSS & Tim Holtz-Love Notes

Bold Scandinavian

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a card using the Bold Scandinavian Floral Dies by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Bold Scandinavian, CZ Hi There

These floral dies are big and bold! I used a mixture of solid colored cardstock and added a foiled sentiment using the CZ Hi There Foil Plate with Aura foil & the coordinating die. I have better results foiling when I used the Glossy Cardstock.

I added a few Splash Drops for embellishment. This card is a bit larger to accommodate three large blooms measuring 5″x 6.25″ and will fit perfectly in an A7 envelope. Thanks so much for stopping by!
