Hi there! Today I have a couple of cards to share using the latest Limited Edition Thank You Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp. This is such a fun kit! It even comes with beautiful postage stamps!!
For my first card I used the Thank You Flowers Stamp Set included in the kit.
I was inspired by the gorgeous postage stamps included in the kit and based the colors and design off of them.
For my next card I used the Envelope Addressing Stencil to create the ink blended stripes.
For the sentiment I used the Kind Script word die included in the kit along with a coordinating sentiment from Messages for Everyday.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

Beautiful Mermaids
August 14, 2018
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project from the latest September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp, Sea Treasure.
I used the Beautiful Mermaids stamp set included in the kit to create my card.
I stamped the mermaid image using Memento ink and colored her with Copics. I love her hair! If you thought I might have been humming “Under the Sea” while coloring her, then you are absolutely right. I was, and I’m sorry if you are now, too, ha!
Using the Slopes and Hills dies I created masks to create gradient ocean waves using Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon & Blueprint Sketch for the waves.

So Grateful for You
July 31, 2018Hi there! Today I’m sharing another project using some of the fun new products from the Friendly Frolic release by Simon Says Stamp.
To begin I blended distress inks onto bristol paper. Then I took a few of the Pinkfresh Studio Liquid Watercolors and flicked Key Lime over the Twisted Citron, Aquamarine over the Mermaid Lagoon and Sapphire over the Blueprint Sketch. I love how this turned out. I die cut these ink blended panels using the Leafy Frame die, creating two leafy frames to layer.
For the sentiment I used the Uplifting Sentiments. Then I flicked Licorice watercolor over the white card base. I adhered the green leafy frame panel flat onto the card base and popped up the blue leafy framed panel with foam tape for dimension. To finish it off I added a few sequins in like colors using the Chameleon & Pool Party sequin mixes.
That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mandy’s Flowers-August Card Kit
July 13, 2018
Hi there! The August Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp just released and it is gorgeous! I have a project to share featuring the beautiful Mandy’s Flowers stamp set included in the kit.
For the background I used a piece of Bo Bunny Early Bird pattern paper, included in the kit.
I stamped the circle floral frame image from Mandy’s Flowers and colored it with Copics. I used circle dies to create a window opening into the pattern paper as well as die cutting the circle part of the floral frame image. I stamped the flowers again and fussy cut them to piece onto the frame. The sentiment is also from Mandy’s Flowers.
To finish it off I added a few drops using the Bubble Gum Blush Nuvo Crystal Drops included in the kit. Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for more info on this beautiful new kit. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hey You Surprise!
July 6, 2018Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring a few new sets from the Good Vibes release.
For the background I embossed the Center Cut Geometric Background stamp, and for the sentiment I used the Everett Solid Letter dies along with Vacation Time. I used one of Perforated Flap dies to hide a gift card to the front of the card. Check out the full project and video over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Brave!
June 30, 2018Hi there! Today I have a fun project to share featuring the Perforated Flaps dies by Simon Says Stamp. It’s actually a card within a card within a card, so it’s VERY special:)
To begin I used the largest Perforated Flap die on the front panel. I added some patter paper to the flap along with the adorable Picture Book Love Bear.
I embossed a sentiment from the Yes You Can stamp set along with stamping another coordinating sentiment below it. This card is going to my son who leaves soon for Germany to play hockey again this season.
Behind the Perforated Flap is a hidden, smaller photo card. I simply printed off a photo of my son and I and added an embossed sentiment from Vacation Time that I die cut using the smallest Nested Talk Bubbles dies. Inside the photo card is a McDonalds gift card for him to buy some fries and think of his momma when he is away:)
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card within a card within a card.

I Need a Vacation Right MEOW!
June 28, 2018Hello there! Today I have a project to share that makes me smile! A kitty in a mermaid get-up with a major attitude about taking a vacay:)
For the background I embossed the circle ocean scene from Surf’s Up. I masked off each section of the ocean scene and blended in distress inks for the color.
I used a combinations of adorable images from Summer Cuddly Critters & Surf’s Up along with the most perfect sentiment ever! I finished it off with a few sequins in coordinating colors.
Are you feeling like you might need a vacation right meow? Me toooo! Thanks so much for stopping by!
