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.

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.

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.

Have the Best Day Ever

April 23, 2021

Hi there and happy Friday! Popping in to share a fun card using the sweet little Dandelion die from the latest May Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Dandelion Die, Narwhal Friends

I added some colorful strips of solid colored cardstock to create the background panel and for the sentiment I used the Narwhal Friends stamp set.

I created another fun reel over on my Instagram with this card. I’m kind of addicted to the quick format of reels. It’s a 15 second reel set to a Joan Jet classic. Never knew I could have any more fun stripping it up with cardstock then when I tried it to “I Love Rock n’ Roll”. My life has been changed!

SSS-Dandelion Die, Narwhal Friends

The Dandelion die pops beautifully on the colorful strips has a bit of shimmer using glittered cardstock. Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more inspiration using the May card kit HERE and you can also check out my reel HERE! Wishing you a wonderful Friday❤️
