Happy STAMPtember®!

Hello and Happy STAMPtember®!! I have a couple of projects to share using some of these fun, new products!

SSS-CZ Halloween Stack

My first card features the CZ Halloween Stack Die. I used a mixture of purple and green solid colored cardstock for the sentiment and stripped it up on the background for some Halloween rainbow cheer!

My next card uses several products. For the background I used the Artwork Grid Die with white cardstock onto a cream cardbase. I used the leftover strips of rainbow cardstock from the first card to create a little strip to put under the sentiment.

SSS-Brilliant Coneflower, Fancy Giving Thanks, Artwork Grid

I die cut and embossed the Brilliant Coneflowers on Banana cardstock and then blended Grapefruit, Cappuccino & Charcoal for added color. I foiled the Thankful sentiment in gold and die cut it using coordinating dies. I added a sub-sentiment using one of the Reverse Grateful Sentiment Strips along with a few Orange Leaves Sequins.

SSS-Bee Happy, CZ Scripty Hello, Daisy Heads

Retro Flowers

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful, floral card using the Retro Flower Layering Stencil Set that was included in the September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Retro Flowers Layering Stencil

I used several Pawsitively Saturated inks for the color and a Reverse Bold Love Sentiment Strip for the sentiment.

Happy Circles

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of cards where I played with my circle dies to create these fun, geometric patterns.

SSS-Nested Circled, Reverse Thankful & Grateful

For this first one I used the smallest Nested Circle Die and repeatedly die cut it nine times onto a panel of Slate cardstock. I used one of the Geometric Builder Circle Dies to die cut the solid colored cardstock to adhere behind the openings. For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse Grateful and Thankful Sentiment Strips.

SSS-Nested Circled, Reverse Thankful & Grateful

I was inspired by this Happy Circles print from Society6.

I wanted to try another version and mimic similar colors in the print above.

SSS-Nested Circled, Geometric Builder Circles, Reverse Bold Mom

This time I created a square 5.5″ x 5.5″ card. My panel is out of Soft Navy and the sentiment is from the Bold Mom Sentiment Strips. The Pawsitively Everything 6 inch T Square Ruler helps a ton to get the circles straight and even.

I don’t think I will tire of colorful geometric patterns. Thanks so much for stopping by!

New Distress Halloween-Glow Grit Paste!

Hi there! Today I have a project to share featuring a couple of the new Distress Halloween products by Tim Holtz. I was so intrigued by the Glow Grit Paste and couldn’t wait to try it.

SSS-Out of This World, Distress Grit Glow Paste

For my project I used the Grit Glow Paste with the Dimensional Stars Stencil on Slate Cardstock. It is INCREDIBLE when it glows!! I spritzed some Twilight Mica Stain on white cardstock and die cut it with a Nested Circle Die to create a sort of large “planet”. The rest of the images and sentiments are from the You are My Universe Set.

Just a Note Blog Hop!

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Just a Note Release Blog Hop! You can check out all of the fun, new products HERE!

SSS-Citrus Slice Background, CZ Just a Note

Both of my projects feature the Citrus Slice Background die. There are so many things you can do with this die to create unique looks. Here I used solid colored cardstock and made rainbow slices for a kaleidoscope of color.

I also used the CZ Just a Note word die for both cards with vellum and matte gold cardstock.

SSS-Citrus Slice Background, CZ Just a Note

For this card I blended Pawsitively Saturated inks behind the open die cut slices and popped up the panel for a fun, shadow. I embellished both cards with clear sequins.
