For the background I blended distress oxide inks onto bristol as well as the letters “mom” from the die cut. I added an embossed sentiment from Tiny Words Encouragement as well as some Nuvo drops for embellishment.

Hi there! Have you seen the fun new Blossoms and Butterflies release by Simon Says Stamp? I did a fun walk-through reveal video over on the Simon Says Stamp blog! This release is loaded with fun, new products perfect for Mother’s Day, Graduation and much more!

SSS-Dahlia Frame, Tiny Word Encouragement

I’ve created a project using the new Dahlia Frame die. I backed the die cut with acetate and used thin foam strips to make a shaker filling it with Groovy Confetti.

SSS-Dahlia Frame, Tiny Word Encouragement

For the sentiment I used the Tiny Words Encouragement stamp set and embossed it in white onto black cardstock and then die cut the sentiment using one of the Sentiment Label dies.

Wavy Egg

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Wavy Egg die.

SSS-Wavy Egg

For the sentiment I used the Dress Up Dog & Cat stamp set. Are you ready for Easter? I swear yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Life just moves too quick for this mama:)

You can check out the video of how I made this card over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Wishing you a wonderful weekend💗

Dahlia Stem

Hi there! Today I have a super simple project to share featuring the Dahlia Stem die by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Dahlia Stem

I trimmed strips of solid colored cardstock and adhered them to a panel to create this colorful background.

SSS-Dahlia Stem

I adhered four Dahlia Stem die cuts together with spray adhesive for dimension and embossed a sentiment from CZ Simple Sentiments No. 1.

SSS-Dahlia Stem

These clean and colorful cards are always my favorites! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Limited Edition Easter 2019 Card Kit

Hi there! Hippity hoppin’ in to share the latest Limited Edition Eggstra Sweet Easter 2019 card kit by Simon Says Stamp!

SSS-Nested Eggs, Eggstra Sweet Easter

For my first card I went to town with the Nested Egg dies. I layered the negative eggs using solid colored cardstock. This card really has fantastic dimension, but it is thick. I’m not gonna lie. I had to try it though. I just wanted to see what it would look like. I love how it looks, but this would have to be a hand delivered card I think. For the sentiment I used the Eggstra Sweet Easter stamp set.

SSS-Nested Eggs, Eggstra Sweet Easter

This next card uses the Jelly Bean background cling stamp. I used Fresh Mint ink onto Sea Glass cardstock. Then I stamped the image from Esggstra Sweet Easter and colored it with Copics.

SSS-Nested Eggs, Eggstra Sweet Easter

I fussy cut the image out and popped it up with foam tape onto the jelly bean background. The sentiment is also from Eggstra Sweet Easter, and the sequins are Lucky Shamrock.

SSS-Eggstra Sweet Easter

I couldn’t resist and Easter Egg shape card using the Nested Egg dies. I also used some of the Echo Park pattern paper included in the kit along with one of the Darice Mini Carrots. The sentiment is from Eggstra Sweet Easter.

Fresh Bloom Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for Day 2 of their Fresh Bloom release blog hop!

SSS-Triangle Element,CZ Design-You Got This

My project features the Triangle Element die. I die cut several out of white cardstock and stacked them up using spray adhesive for added dimension.

SSS-Triangle Element,CZ Design-You Got This

I blended distress inks onto a panel of white cardstock using Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet & Salty Ocean and then ran it through with the Triangle Element die. I inlayed the ink blended triangles into the white die cut on a navy background. The contrast of this on the navy absolutely toots my flute!

SSS-Triangle Element,CZ Design-You Got This

For the sentiment I used the You Got This stamp & die set. Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Hi there! Have you seen the fun new Fresh Bloom release by Simon Says Stamp? It’s so fun! There’s a little something for Easter, Spring and all year round as well.

SSS-CZ You Got This Tag, Triangle Blast Stencil, Peeking Bunny, Bunny Wishes

I created a couple of quick and easy projects using some of the fun new products.

SSS-CZ You Got This Tag, Triangle Blast Stencil, Peeking Bunny, Bunny Wishes

This first card uses the fun new You Got This Tag designed by the one and only Cathy Zielske. She’s my fave:) I die cut the tag using Lawn Fawn pattern paper. For the background I used the Triangle Blast stencil and distress inks in similar colors to the tag: Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feather & Salty Ocean.

SSS-CZ You Got This Tag & Triangle Blast Stencil

This adorable little mini card features the Peeking Bunny die. I can’t with the simply cuteness! I used more Lawn Fawn pattern paper and embossed a sentiment from Bunny Wishes on the bottom.

SSS-Peeking Bunny, Bunny Wishes

Harvest Stencil Birthday

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this card over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Harvest Stencil and the Big Happy dies for the sentiment.

SSS-Harvest Stencil, Big Happy

This card, like most of mine, was an absolute evolution. I have an idea in mind, but the end result is always a surprise! Check out the video over on the Simon Says Stamp blog to see how I created it!
