Hi there! Today I’ve got a super cute little gnome project to share with you featuring the Deco Hat Gnome die set by Simon Says Stamp.

This is a thinner sized card to fit the slim gnome image. I made the base 3″ x 5.5″. I added some gray pattern paper by Sunny Studios for the background. For the Deco Hat Gnome die I used several shades of solid colored cardstock.

SSS-Circle Masks, Stitched Slopes & Hills, Reverse Sympathy

I used the Circle Masks to create the gradient sun rays. For the waves I used the Stitched Slopes & Hills dies, and for the sentiment I used one of the Reverse Sympathy Sentiment Strips. You can check out the video HERE. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Big Thanks Autumn

Hi there! Today I have a project using the new November Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp called Big Thanks Autumn.

SSS-Big Thanks Autumn

To begin I stamped the thanks sentiment from Big Thanks Autumn using Concord & 9th inks, giving each letter a different color. Post-it notes help to mask off each letter to individually ink each one. I trimmed the sentiment onto angled strip and popped it up over strips of Concord & 9th cardstock. I stamped the floral bouquet from Big Thanks Autumn onto the strips of cardstock using Versemark ink.

SSS-Big Thanks Autumn

The card base is one of my new favorites, Speckled Eggshell cardstock. I added a sentiment strip and a few sparkling clear sequins to finish it off.

October Card Kit Mini Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for a mini hop featuring the October Card Kit.

SSS-Happy Fall Y'all

My card used the adorable Happy Fall Y’all stamp set.

SSS-Happy Fall Y'all

I stamped the images with Memento ink and colored them with Copics. I embossed the banner sentiment in white on black and popped it up over the cute bear. How adorable is the bear in a rainbow sweater with glasses holding a pie? Haven’t decided if it’s apple, cherry or pumpkin pie. Personally I’d take brownies:)

Hi there! Today I have a couple of fun projects to share featuring the festive, new Make Merry release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Merry On a Line, Geometric Christmas Tree, CZ Good Cheer

My first card features the Merry On a Line die. I love this clean, graphic look. I die cut several strips of solid colored cardstock and adhered them onto a slight angle.

I embossed a sentiment from the CZ Good Cheer stamp set in white onto black cardstock and used one of the Sentiment Label dies to cut out the sentiment and pop it up below the “merry”.
