Shine On Release

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using the fun, new Shine On Release at Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Presto Pop, Quirky Daisies, Dewdrop Daisy, Blooming Flower

My first project uses the Presto Pop Embossing Folder for the background. I die cut a vellum circle using one of the Nested Circle Frames dies. For the blooms I used the Quirky Daisies & Dewdrop Daisy dies. For the sentiment I used the Blooming Flower die set with Matte Gold and vellum.

SSS-Dancing Meadows, Flourish Beautiful Butterfly, Cottagecore

My second card features the Dancing Meadows Cover Die. I blended color on the blooms and foliage using Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I added a butterfly using the Flourish Beautiful Butterfly. For the sentiment I used the Cottagecore stamp & die set.

Let’s Celebrate

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a cute, little celebration card featuring several of the fable critter dies. I used the Fable Elephant, Giraffe, Bear & Mouse dies. I blended a subtle rosy cheek on each and also used the Cap and Gown die set to add a graduation cap to the elephant & bear.

SSS-Fable, Elephant, Giraffe, Bear & Mouse, CZ Big Old Birthday, Cap and Gown

For the background I trimmed some solid colored cardstock to make a happy rainbow burst. I didn’t use a die or anything for that. I just kinda eyeballed it and hoped for the best:) I did use an hill die for the ground. For sentiment I used the CZ Big Old Birthday set.

If you took off the grad caps this could be a cute birthday card, too!

What’s Poppin’?

Hi there! The other day I shared this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring some fun products from the recent June card kit. The card kit sold out so fast, but many of the individual components are available, including the ones I used here.

SSS-Festive Bunting, 3D Popcorn Box

I loved doing a rainbow with the Bunting die. I did an overflowing 3D Popcorn Box and added a sentiment using the Having Fun stamp set.

Graduation Cards

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of graduation cards that I made last weekend. My daughter always requests custom cards with the names on them so this is what I came up with.

The Greetery-Capsule Star Studded, Altenew-Caps Bold Alpha Die Set

I had the recent Greetery products nearby so they were first to grab. On the background I used the Capsule Star Studded Borders dies, Capsule Basics dies & Capsule Party Scene dies. To customize the names I used the Caps Bold Alphabet dies and for the congrats I used the Let’s Have a Word: Congrats die.

The Greetery-Capsule Star Studded, Altenew-Caps Bold Alpha Die Set

On the inside of the card I used the World’s Greatest die for the trophy pocket. I added the “for you” sentiment from the Big Yay set.

The Greetery-World's Greatest

Of Course a shaker is always a fun touch so I filled it with the Starshine Embellishment Mix.

Here was my daughter’s reaction: “Okay Mom, you went above and beyond on these and I love it!”
I’ll take that as a win!!
