Hello Beautiful Release Hop

February 27, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Hello Beautiful Release Blog Hop! You can check the amazing new release HERE!

SSS-Mix & Match Squares, CZ Welcoming

For my cards I used the Mix & Match Squares stamp set.

SSS-Mix & Match Squares, CZ Welcoming

I used the MISTI to help me get consistent, even spacing. I used several different shades of Pinkfresh Studio inks to stamp each square a shade darker but in the same color family.

SSS-Mix & Match Squares, CZ Welcoming

For the sentiment I embossed the Welcome sentiment from the CZ Welcoming set in white onto Slate cardstock. You KNOW I love you when I’m willing to share my fries with you😂

I love this Welcoming set because it has so many versatile and humorous sentiments to pair with the larger sentiment.

Sending Hugs

January 28, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful project using the Geometric Builder Squares & Circles dies.

SSS-Geometric Builder Squares & Circles

I created a project similar to this a year ago before I had the Geometric Builder dies, which made it so much easier and more precise. Here is the older card.

SSS-Nested Circle Dies, CZ Love You

My card above has so many imperfections because my measurements were far from perfect, but the Geometric Builder dies make it exact. I have more ideas than time with these dies, but whenever I do play with them, they make me so happy.

SSS-Geometric Builder Squares & Circles

For the sentiment I used the Reverse Sympathy Sentiment Strips with one of the Sentiment Label dies.

Love You Beary Much

January 20, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few little love notes using the February Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp called Love You Beary Much.

SSS-Love You Beary Much

Each of these notes measure 4.25″x 4.25″, which makes for a cute little valentine. For this first card I stamped the sweet bear from the Love You Beary Much stamp set and colored the image with Copies. I used the Tumbling Hearts Stencil with Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel onto Speckled Egg cardstock.

SSS-Love You Beary Much

For the second card I stamped the bold heart greeting with Versafine Onyx Black ink and, I know you’re gonna think I’m crazy, but I glued the tiny little pink beads that come in the kit around the perimeter of the heart with glossy accents. It was tedious in the best way possible. I sat next to Emma while she pretended to do her Deutsch homework and I pretended to understand.

SSS-Love You Beary Much

For this last card I stamped the Love sentiment, also from Love You Beary Much. I masked off each letter using post-its and stamped the letters using Honeysuckle, Grapefruit, Buttercup & Sea Glass. I created a shaker card using one of the Nested Circle dies and Iridescent Heart Confetti.

The Mini Slimline

January 15, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the new Slimline Border Stencil for the new Love You, Too! release with Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Slimline Borders Stencil, CZ Just Because

I blending the squares using Concord & 9th inks. For the sentiment I used the CZ Just Because word die and for embellishment I used the Cupcake Frosting sequins.
