Sugar and Spice Collection

October 8, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp to introduce the festive, new Sugar and Spice Collection.

SSS-Wintertime Celebration Plate, CZ Holiday Duo

My first card features the Wintertime Celebration Plate along with the CZ Holiday Duo for the sentiment.

My next card uses the Brilliant Ornaments Embossing Folder & Cutting Dies. Both of these cards feature lots of solid colored cardstock. Instead of trying to list every color, I linked a couple of multi packs below. If you’re anything like me, you have a ton of scraps that would be perfect for projects like these!

For the sentiment I used the CZ Holiday Duo again. This is one of my favorite holiday word die sets in a very long time. I can always count on CZ to bring the magic!

STAMPtember® with Hero Arts!

September 6, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the fun, new STAMPtember® collaboration with Hero Arts called Snowy & Bright. I fell in love with this one. I love this simplistic hand drawn style of ice skaters with the adorable pup looking on.

SSS-STAMPtember®, Hero Arts-Snowy & Bright

I stamped the images with black ink and colored with Copics. I am happy to report that this new black ink is indeed copic friendly. I don’t say that lightly, because most have given me such a headache. This one did not bleed!!
