Garden Greetings

June 30, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using some of the latest Garden Greetings Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Garden Greetings, Big Scripty Hugs

To begin I created a circle window frame using one of the Nested Circle dies into white carstock. Then on the panel behind I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock. I stamped the swag image from Garden Greetings that is included in the card kit with versamark ink for a fun tone on tone look.

For the sentiment I used the Big Scripty Hugs die that is also included in the card kit. I used vellum and gold metallic cardstock. I popped up the panel onto a Fog base and added some bubbles for embellishments.

Sending You Love

June 26, 2021

Hi there! Yesterday I shared this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. I stripped up some solid colored cardstock and created a double window frame using vellum and the Nested Circle Dies. For the sentiment I used the Spring Bouquets stamp set and for the foliage I embossed images from the Birthday Seedlings set in white onto vellum.

Sending my Love

June 20, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m joining several of my talented crafty friends in an Instagram hop to wish our friend, Andy Granick, well wishes. Andy will be going through some medical issues/procedures and we want to uplift him and show him how much his crafty community cares for him. He’s not only a fabulous crafter, but he’s also the sweetest guy ever.

SSS-Layered Hills Dies, Reverse Get Well

Andy shares my love for clean, graphic and colorful cards, so I wanted to make something with him in mind. For my project I used the Layered Hills die set that my daughter, Bailey, designed several releases ago and it is still one of my favorite die sets. I used several shades of solid colored cardstock.

For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse Get Well sentiment strips with the Sentiment Label dies.

Happy Memorial Day

May 31, 2021

Hi there! Taking a moment to pause on this Memorial Day and give thanks for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms here in America. My thoughts carried over into my craft time with a Memorial Day slimline card.

SSS-Spring Bouquets4

I created a patriotic card using the Spring Bouquet stamp set. After embossing it in clear I blended Candied Apple and Blueprint Sketch for color. I used the coordinating die to cut it out and pop it up onto a Ivory panel that had been flicked with Black Soot.

SSS-Spring Bouquets

For the sentiment I used Spring Bouquets again embossing it in white onto black and then used one of the Sentiment Label dies to cut it out and pop it up over the blended blooms. I added a few Sparkling Clear Sequins for embellishment.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a clean & simple rainbow project featuring the Rainbow is my Favorite Color stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. This stamp set is included in the June Card Kit as well.

SSS-Rainbow is my Favorite Color9B5458

I used the MISTI to easily space and stamp the rainbow arches using Concord & 9th inks. For the sentiment I used the Narwhal Friends stamp & die set along with a few raindrops for embellishments.

Born to Sparkle Release Blog Hop

April 30, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Born to Sparkle release blog hop and I have a couple of projects to share featuring the Organic Fruits Stamp, Die & Stencil Set.

SSS-Organic Fruits

I am so excited for these new Organic Fruits products because my daughter, Bailey, designed them. I couldn’t be more proud her for doing such a fantastic job!

SSS-Organic Fruits

This first card uses the Organic Fruits stencil to blend the orange color and then I stamped the outline shape in black. The sentiment is also from the Organic Fruits stamp set.

SSS-Organic Fruits

For this next card I used the Organic Fruits stencil to create more colorful shapes around the border of the panel using Pinkfresh Studio inks.

SSS-Organic Fruits

I’m such a stickler for a good sentiment stamp and these have a beautiful, classic font mixture with practical sentiments that you can use all year round.

Here is a video to show how I created these cards.
