Poppy Field

September 20, 2022

Hi there! Today I have a card using the fun, new Limited Edition STAMPtember® Card Kit. The kit contains a gorgeous stamp & stencil set called Poppy Field.

I used several Pawsitively Saturated Inks with the Poppy Field Stencil Set. I embossed a sentient from the Poppy Field Stamp Set in white onto black cardstock.

Here is a short, little reel showing how I created this card.

Limited Edition Halloween 2022 Kit

September 15, 2022

Hi there! Simon Says Stamp just released a super fun, Limited Edition Halloween Card Kit called Home Sweet Haunted Home. I have a couple of projects to share featuring products from this kit. For my first card I used the Halloween Candy Stencil Set. For the sentiment I used the Home Sweet Haunted Home Stamp Set. I die cut the circle sentiment using a circle die and popped it up onto a kraft circle tag that comes in the kit.

This next card features the delicious looking Tim Holtz Idea-ology Confections Candy Corn included in the kit. I created a simple shaker card with Royal Purple cardstock and added a frame die cut out of Black Glitter cardstock. I used more circle dies to create the shaker & frame. For the sentiment I used the Home Sweet Haunted Home Stamp Set.

New! Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils

September 3, 2022

Hello! Today I am so excited to take a first look at the new Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils. I was so fortunate to receive the Set 2 of 12 pencils to try out, but there are actually 36 colors available.

SSS-XL Teacher Greetings, Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils

I quickly swatched out the twelve colors below and they are gorgeous! I used Arches Cold Press Watercolor paper and a simple brush with water to blend out the colors. The start very pigmented and blend out seamless and smooth.

I wanted to create a simple, colorful card that showcased several of these colors so I simply drew stripes with the pencil and blended them out with a brush. I added an embossed sentiment from the XL Teacher Greetings stamp set.

Here is a video showing the swatching and card making.

These delicious new pencils are available now at Simon Says Stamp! All the links are below. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Circle Patterns

August 30, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun, circle pattern design created using strips of cardstock and a circle die.

The idea for this fun, striped circle pattern came from this gorgeous quilt pattern that I came across on Pinterest.

Isn’t this an incredible quilt pattern? Here’s another great pic. You can find more of Lisa Hofmann-Maurer’s amazing work HERE.

I trimmed strips of solid colored cardstock to 1/4″ and adhered them to a panel. Then I cut the strips out using a circle die. The sentiment is from the Take Note stamp set.
