Rest & Refresh Release

June 5, 2019

Hi there! Just popping in to share a couple of projects featuring the fun, new Rest and Refresh release by Simon Says Stamp.

This first card uses the Peeking Cat die.

I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock to the top of an A4 sized card and die cut the Peeking Cat right into the card base. For the sentiment I used Punny Animals.

This next card uses the Peeking Pup die. These are so adorable and would be perfect for shaker cards with their window openings.

I embossed a sentiment from Punny Animals for this card as well.

Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more of this fun new release. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hockey Shaker Thanks

May 31, 2019

Hi there! Today I have a few hockey shaker cards to share with you. Hockey season, for the kids, has ended over here, but not for the NHL. The guys in our family are knee deep into the Stanley Cup playoffs. They’ve got that TV blairing every single night, yelping at the screen like hyenas.

I used a cut file from the Silhouette store for the hockey player image and cut them on my Silhouette machine.

I backed the window with acetate and filled the shakers with an assortment of sequins to coordinate with the colored card bases. I was concerned that my boys might think that the sequins were “too girly”, but surprisingly they loved them! You just never know with guys:)

I wanted to keep the sentiment very clean and simple so I went with the CZ Thanks die.

Now that soccer season just ended, it’s time to make a few soccer coach thank you cards, too. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thankful for America

May 24, 2019

Hi there! Yesterday I shared this patriotic project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the American Flag Stencil. It’s perfect timing with Memorial Day coming this weekend. For the sentiment I used the CZ Thankful 2 die.

Celebrate You Release Blog Hop

May 17, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Celebrate You Release Blog Hop!

I’ve created a couple of really simple shaker cards using some of the new release products.

To begin I die cut some Dream In Colour pattern paper by Tonic using one of the Rounded Corners Rectangle dies. Then I used a Nested Circle die to create the window opening. I backed the window opening with acetate to create the shaker.

I filled the shaker with the most gorgeous Nuvo Pure Gems: Amethyst Squares, Crystal Gems, Pearl Rectangles, Golden Ovals and Water Droplets.

For the sentiments I used the Stop Drop and Party stamp set by CZ Designs.

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

Celebrate You Release

May 14, 2019

Hi there! The Celebrate You Release by Simon Says Stamp is live and loaded with lots of fun new products! I have a couple of projects to share.

This card uses the adorable Peeking Frog die. I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock behind the die cut. I added some googly eyes and free-hand cut a little party hat with a teeny pom pom on top.

The sentiments for both cards are from the Stop Drop and Party stamp set by CZ Designs.

This card uses the Peeking Daisy. I added the strips of solid colored cardstock horizontally this time and popped up the daisy die cut over top.

Happy Mother’s Day

May 12, 2019

Hello there and Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Outline Floral Mom die along with a sentiment from one of the Sentiment Strips printables. Check out the video to see how I created this project HERE.

Today my family surprised my mom and I with a very special Mother’s Day lunch. The kids cleaned the house and decorated the dining room. They bought flowers, cookies and brownies from Panera. You can see my messy craft station in the background. It’s never clean. That’s a big roll of foam tape leaning up against the clock in case you were wondering. It’s pretty much a hot mess. I’m so thankful for my mom and that we can spend this day with her. Have I ever told you that my mom was the one who got me into card making? She invited me to a Stampin’ Up party. Yep, the rest is history!

Part of the feast was a huge tray of McDonalds french fries. They knocked it outta the park, I tell ya!!! I was in heaven. They get me. Also, this is my Target cardigan that I wear just about every single day of my life. If you’ve every watched my videos you’ve probably seen it. It’s like my security blanket.

I’m so thankful for this crazy crew of mine who made me a momma. They keep my days and my heart extremely full at all times.

Thank you so much for stopping by my little old blog time and time again and for your many encouraging words. Sending hugs to you today❤️

Grid Play Rainbow

April 27, 2019

Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see the video of how I created this project. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Celebrate Women Blog Hop

April 25, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Celebrate Women Blog Hop.

My project features the Good Job Mama stamp set designed by the one and only Cathy Zielske. The sentiments in this set really hit home for me and I chose to use eight of them because I just couldn’t choose one.

I trimmed several sentiment strips out of solid colored cardstock and embossed the sentiments in white as well as the large sentiment on the slate background panel.

Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Hi there! Popping in to share a couple of projects from the latest For All Moms-Limited Edition Mother’s Day 2019 Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Limited Edition Mother's Day 2019 Card Kit

My first project features the adorable Coffee Love die.

I created a circular window frame using one of the Nested Circle dies and matted the coffee cup with Soft Navy cardstock and Echo Park pattern paper. The sentiment is from the For All Moms stamp set.

This next card uses the Bouquet of Roses stencil included in the kit. I blended distress oxide inks for the color and then die cut the panel with one of the Stitched Rectangle dies.

I popped the panel onto a Cotton Candy card base. The sentiment is also from For All Moms with a few sequins from the Classy sequin mix included in the kit.
