Sunflower Garden

August 24, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Sunflower Garden, Happy Birthday die5

To begin I embossed the large sunflower image from Sunflower Garden, which is included in the card kit. I embossed it in clear and blended several distress inks & Orange Crush ink for the color.

I fussy cut the image out and popped it up onto a white panel then flicked everything with Black Soot. For the sentiment I used the Happy Birthday die with silver metallic cardstock. I also embossed a coordinating sentiment from Slimline Florals.

There are two stencils in the Pencil Layering Stencil Set that allow you to create a colorful row of perfectly sharpened pencils. I used distress inks to blend the color.

The colorful pencils were a perfect background for a teacher card so I used the CZ Teacher Thank Yous stamp set and added a few raindrops for embellishment.

Game Day Dad

July 31, 2021

Hi there! Today I have a fun little GIF that my daughter helped me create featuring the Dad die set, Game Day die set and the Most Valuable Player stamp set.

This is a fun way to customize a card if you have a supportive parent for a specific sport. The only thing missing here is a hockey puck, lol, but it’s not a round shape so these fit perfectly into the opening in the ‘a’.

Simon Says Stamp-Dad, Game Day, Most Valuable Player

I used solid colored cardstock scraps to piece these die cuts together onto a cream panel and then onto a white base. It’s very simple, but colorful and I think that’s just how dad might like it.)

Geometric Builders Hearts

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the Geometric Builders Hearts die set.

SSS-Geometric Builders Hearts

I used several scraps of solid colored cardstock. I designed this die set several months ago and I’m giddy with how fun and easy they are to put together. These little dies are perfect to use with a mini die cutting machine, too. I use the Altenew Mini Blossom and love it.

For the sentiment I used the Thinking of You Sentiment Strips. I used one the Sentiment Label Dies to cut out the sentiment strips and pop it up on to the Ivory panel.

SSS-Build a Xylophone, Rainy Days, Sunburst die

My first card features the Build a Xylophone die set. This die set made me smile so big because I had a play xylophone just like this when I was a child. I loved it so much with the rainbow colors.

I used solid colored cardstock along with some metallic silver cardstock for the metal looking parts, and for the sentiment I used the Xylophone stamp set.

Also, have I mentioned over here that Emma got a puppy for her birthday? She sure did. She wanted to name him after her grandpa Hank. He is the cutest thing and brings so much joy to our family. Needless to say, I haven’t made a card in a week. I feel like I just had a newborn baby. Wishing you a wonderful day. Thanks so much for stopping by!
