Rainbow Heart

December 30, 2019

Hi there! I’ve got a fun project to share with you featuring the Rainbow Heart die by Simon Says Stamp. This die was from the latest Love You More release. I’ve been patiently(not so patiently) waiting to get my hot little hands on this Rainbow Heart die.

SSS-Rainbow Heart die, Love & Valentines Word Mix 2

For the sentiment I used another new Love & Valentines Word Mix 2 stamp & die set. The sentiments in this set are so SUPERB & you can stamp & die cut at least eight sentiments in one shebang! Gotta love that.

Cropped Frames

December 30, 2019

Hi there! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. It’s been so nice having the family all together for the holidays. I haven’t made a card is weeks. Today I finally cleaned my desk off and I’m playing catch up sharing these projects from my latest feature over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. I used the A2 Thin Frames along with the CZ Thank You & Proud of You. You can check out the video HERE!

SSS-A2 Thin Frames & CZ Thank You, Proud of You

There were several questions about the glue holder that I’ve been using in my latest videos. It’s from the Make it by Marko shop on Etsy. I also have Mermaid Stamp Shammy Case, which I love, too!

Hoping to make a few cards today using the latest Love You More collection. Because of the holidays it was late getting to me over here in Timbuktu. I’m excited to play with it now that I can see my desk. Here’s to hoping for a productive day:) ha! Fingers crossed! Thanks so much for stopping by!

December 6, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for Day 2 of their DieCemberĀ® Release Blog Hop! I’ve created a couple of projects featuring a few of their fun, new dies.

SSS-Birthday Wishes Circle, Winter Wishes Circle & Burst die

My first card uses the Birthday Wishes Circle die along with the Burst die.

SSS-Birthday Wishes Circle & Burst die

I used one of the Nested Circle dies to create a window opening to frame the Burst die cut. Behind the Burst I blended Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon & Blueprint Sketch. The Birthday Wishes was die cut with metallic gold cardstock.

This next card is uses the Winter Wishes Circle die along with the Burst die.

Everything is exactly as the first card except for this one I used warm tones for the blending: Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade.

Happy DieCemberĀ®!

December 1, 2019

Hi there! Have you seen the fun, new DieCemberĀ® release by Simon Says Stamp? I have a couple of project to share with you created using some of the new products.

SSS-Lined You & Leafy Christmas Trees, Lined You & Leafy Christmas Tree

My first card features the Lined You die. Using a metal shim with these intricate, new dies helps a lot to get a nice, clean cut. I embossed a sentiment from the CZ Great Things stamp set to coordinate with the Lined You.

SSS-Lined You & Leafy Christmas Tree

I layered the Lined You over some greenery die cut using the Leafy Christmas Tree dies. Behind that are strips of solid colored cardstock along with a few Sparkling Clear Sequins.

SSS-Lined You & Leafy Christmas Tree

This next card uses the Detailed Leaf Cluster die. I die cut the leaf with white cardstock and then filled in several of the leaves with shades of green cardstock.

For the sentiment I used the CZ Thank You die with Doll Pink and white cardstock. I also added some Party Jewels for embellishment.

Christmas Tags on Cards

November 30, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing just a couple of simple holiday projects where I used tag dies on cards. I love to make tags, but tags can also look great on cards.

SSS-CZ Ho Ho Ho Tag

This first card uses the CZ Ho Ho Ho Tag Die. I backed each letter with solid colored cardstock. Then I popped the tag up onto some pattern paper by Pebbles & Sunny Studios. I also added some of Black Tie cording.

SSS-CZ Ho Ho Ho Tag

This next card uses the Stocking Tag Die. I was tempted to make a whole row of rainbow stockings. How fun would that be? It would make for one lonnnng card though.

SSS-Stocking Tag

For the sentiment I used one of the Sentiment Strips Extra Large Christmas. Each of the stockings are popped up with foam tape, but I adhered a few smokey gray crystals to look like a hanger. More Sunny Studios pattern paper along with Black Tie cording to finish it off.

SSS-Stocking Tag

Are you ready for the holidays? Ha Ha…I haven’t even started yet, but that’s how I roll every single year. I like to wait until I can get a full on panic attack before starting. I do have ideas swirling around. Maybe tomorrow on Cyber Monday I can get some shopping done. Here’s wishing your a festive start to your Christmas season, even though I’ve been making and posting Christmas cards since September:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Challenge Me a Christmas Card

November 23, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m joining my lovely friend, Michelle, for her Christmas card challenge. She contacted me a while ago and asked me to pick the product, theme or technique for our challenge. I said, “How about a rainbow emboss resist Christmas card?” She said, “I was hoping you’d say rainbow”:) So here is what I came up with.

SSS-Leaves & Berries Background, Merry Frame, Marie Snowflake

For the background I embossed the Leaves & Berries background stamp in clear onto white cardstock. Using Pinkfresh Studio inks I blended some subtle and more vibrant colors onto the panel.

SSS-Leaves & Berries Background, Merry Frame, Marie Snowflake

For the sentiment I used the Merry Frame die with Tim Holtz Metallic Rose Gold cardstock. I layered it over a snowflake die cut using the Marie Snowflake die. I added a simple coordinating sentiment from the Sentiment Strips Christmas pack. I die cut the sentiment using one of the Sentiment Label dies.

Make sure and check out what Michelle came up with using the rainbow emboss resist theme! Thanks so much for stopping by!

SSS- Limited Edition 2019 Holiday Card Kit

My first card features the Crate Paper Snowflake Alphabet Thickers Stickers that are included in the kit.

SSS- Limited Edition 2019 Holiday Card Kit

I adhered strips of cardstock on a white card base. There’s a package of white card bases in the kit that make it so handy dandy! I love these fun puffy stickers! Does it make you want to start singing the Christmas Carol?

Happy Halloween

October 31, 2019

Hi there & Happy Halloween! Thought I’d have some fun and make some costumes for these cute Picture Book animals. This is how our family rolls for Halloween. You go downstairs and rummage up a costume for trick or treating.

SSS-Picture Book Monkey, Elephant & Labrador, Dog & Cat Dress Up

I used the Dress up Cat & Dog set to add sunglasses, ties & bunny ears to the Picture Book Monkey, Elephant & Labrador. For the sentiment I used the CZ My Zombie Boo stamp set.

SSS-Picture Book Monkey, Elephant & Labrador, Dog & Cat Dress Up

I wouldn’t necessarily say that Halloween is my “jam”, but I do like candy. I do not like to be scared, though, so bunny ears and heart sunglasses are right up my alley. Hope you have yourselves some sweet treats tonight:) Thanks so much for stopping by!
