Believe in You Release Blog Hop
July 27, 2019
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for Day 2 of their Believe in You Release Blog Hop. You can check out the fabulous new release HERE!
My project features the Faceted Stripes Stencil. I used Pixie Spray to hold down my stencil, and it worked like a charm. I know you’re gonna think I’m crazy(and I don’t deny it), but I did, in fact, mask off each segment of on the stencil to blend each one a separate color.
I just had to give the idea and try and I gotta say, I absolutely love how it looks, although it’s definitely not something that you’re gonna want to mass produce. For the sentiment I use the new Greetings Mix 1 stamp set. I also added some silver thread and clear drops, just to zhuzh it up a little:)
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Sunflower Stem
July 24, 2019
Hi there! Popping in with a fun project featuring a couple of the new products from the awesome new Believe in You release by Simon Says Stamp.
I used the Sunflower Stem die for this card. I die cut about four out of white cardstock and stacked them together using spray adhesive for dimension.
I colored the inner petals with Copic makers and inlayed them into the die cut. For the sentiment I used the new CZ Clean Line Everyday stamp set. If only sunflowers came with rainbow petals. Wouldn’t that be spectacular?
I’ve got a fun release reveal video showing all of the fantastic new designs over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. More inspiration to come in the next few days with blog hops and giveaways. Stay tuned and thanks so much for stopping by!

Party Like a Panda
July 20, 2019Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the latest August 2019 Card Kit-Party Like a Panda.
I used the fun Flocking Sheets to make a fuzzy little Picture Book Panda and the Party Like a Panda stamp set for the sentiment.
The kit comes with some Doodlebug pattern papers as well that I used on the background. The panda is not only cute, it doubles as a bookmark. Emma couldn’t wait to test it out on her latest book. She asked me if I could possibly make her a unicorn bookmark, and I can using the Picture Book Unicorn die.
Here’s a video to show you how I made this card & bookmark.

Basking in the Overlap
July 9, 2019Hi there! Today I’m sharing this super simple thank you card featuring some oldies but goodies. When I look back over my card making life my most favorite cards are always the simplest ones so that’s what I’m gonna try to do more of: clean, simple, color.
I used one of my favorites, but I can’t find it in the Simon Says Stamp shop anymore. It’s called Big Perfect Shapes, but you could easily just use any large solid shape that you might have. Doesn’t have to be a heart either.
I used Simon Says Stamp inks which gave a beautiful, vibrant color as well as a show stopping overlap. To me, the overlap is what life it all about. For the sentiment I embossed a simple thank you from CZ 30 Days of Thankful.
Here’s a video to show you how easy this card was to create.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
Nautical Stripes
July 5, 2019Hi there! Today I’m sharing these fun nautical themed projects over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Nautical Stripes Stencil, Anchor die and CZ 30 Days of Thankful set. You can check out the video HERE!
DESTASH UPDATE:
All destash boxes that I mentioned in my last post have been spoken for. I’ve been busy packing and mailing each one. I underestimated the interest by a LONG shot. I had well over 200 responses for 15 boxes. I felt bad to turn so many away, but hopefully in the future I can do this again. I wish I could give each and every one of you a box as a big thank you for your kind words and support.
Patterns with Strips
June 22, 2019Hi there! Today I’m sharing this fun project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog showing how to create fun patterns using strips of paper. This is a great way to use up those scraps, and this would also work great with pattern papers.
For the sentiment I used the Hello Darling stamp set. Check out how I created this card HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Bee Yourself
June 19, 2019
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects created using the latest July Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp called Bee Yourself.
I had so much fun playing with the gorgeous Shattered Glass Transfer Foil Sheets included in the kit. The results were show stopping!
For this card, to adhere the foil transfer sheet, I used skinny strips of score tape. For the bee image and sentiment I used the Bee Yourself stamp set that is also included in the kit.
This next card uses one of the custom foilable cards included in the kit. I only added foil to the rainbow image. I also popped up a couple of bees from Bee Yourself stamp set.
Both panels are popped up onto Fog card bases with a few clear sequins for embellishment.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more inspiration using this fun kit. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Rest & Refresh Release Blog Hop
June 8, 2019
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Rest & Refresh Release Blog Hop! I’ve got two cards to share with you featuring the Hexagon Element die.
For this first card I blended Distress Oxides on a panel, flicked with water and also flicked with smooshes Oxides and then die cut the panel using the Hexagon Element die.
For the background I flicked some Licorice Liquid Watercolor and popped the panel onto a Fog base. I adhered a gold metallic die cut hexagon onto the panel and popped up the blended hexagons with foam tape. For the sentiment I used the Hex Yeah set by Cathy Zielske.
For this next card I some of the leftovers from the first card. The blended hexagon outline die cut was adhered to a white panel and filled with a few of the gold metallic hexagons. That’s what ya call being thrifty AND nifty:)
For the sentiment I used the Big Friend die and added a few Sparkling Clear sequins for embellishment.
Here’s video to show you how I created these cards.
