Sending Hugs

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

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

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. I was inspired by the new Mini Slimline Envelopes for the size of my card. I love this new size so much and the Slimline Border stencil adapts perfectly for any size card.

Thinking of You

Hi there! Popping in to share a peek at a project I’m sharing over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Slimline Scene Builder Stencil. Even though the stencil is sized perfectly for slimline cards, it works just as well on a standard sized card as well.

SSS-Slimline Scene Builder, Greetings Mix 2

For the sentiment I used the Greetings Mix 2 stamp set. Check out the video HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hexagon Tiles

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this colorful project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Hexagon Tiles dies. I created a rainbow hexagon wreath. Do you think it can work for a modern, Christmas vibe?

SSS-Hexagon Tile, CZ Joy Script

For the sentiment I used the CZ Joy Script die with vellum & gold foil. For embellishment I used Sparkling Clear Sequins. You can check out the video HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!

New Love You Release

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of cards from the latest Love You Collections by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Love on a Line, Reverse Birthday, Mini Hearts Party, Love Greetings Mix

For my first card I used the Love on a Line die set.

SSS-Love on a Line, Reverse Birthday

I used several warm shades of solid colored cardstock and added a sentiment strip from Reverse Birthday.

This next card featuring the Mini Hearts Party die.

SSS-Mini Hearts Party, Love Greetings Mix

I die cut the Mini Hearts Party die in white and then adhered strips of solid colored cardstock with foam tape behind the hearts. For the sentiment I stamped the circlular “love you” sentiment from Love Greetings Mix with versafine ink onto white cardstock and die cut it using a circle die.

EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun card featuring the new exclusive Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die FREE with any Tim Holtz brand purchase while supplies last! 

EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die

How cute are these cardinals? I googled “cardinal” to get some inspiration and was pleasantly surprised to find the gorgeous colors of cardinals that I never knew existed.

EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die

I used the Stitched Sloped and Hills dies and CZ Hello die for the sentiment. I flipped the yellow cardinal die cut over to get it to face the opposite direction. I die cut the yellow cardinal on scratch paper and went over it with my bone folder so that it doesn’t have scratchy looking marks on it.

EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Cardinal die

I also created a coordinating red gingham envelope to coordinating with the card using the Slimline Envelope die. Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more incredible inspiration using this die. It is only available FREE with any Tim Holtz brand purchase while supplies last! Thanks so much for stopping by!

DieCember® Release Blog Hop

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hugs, Hello & Reverse Christmas

I have three projects to share today featuring the Diamond Tiles die set. This set is close to my heart because my oldest daughter, Alex, designed it. I coordinates well with her previously released Good Vibes stamp set.

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hello

For my first card I simply die cut several colors of solid colored cardstock using one of the smaller diamond dies. For the sentiment I used the CZ Hello die set with white & slate cardstock.

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hello

This second card features one of the middle diamond dies. For each die I used a darker & lighter shade of cardstock. The two colors together create a cool 3D look.

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hugs

For the sentiment I used the CZ Hugs die with vellum and gold foil cardstock.

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hugs

My third card uses the leftover diamonds that came out the second card die cuts. That’s what you call being thrift & nifty:)

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Reverse Christmas

For the sentiment I used one of the CZ Reverse Christmas Sentiment Strips.

Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
