SSS-Picture Book Walrus & Lamb, Emphatic, Bubble Tracker, Reverse Polka, Oh BabyI have a couple of projects to share using some of my faves from the new release. I just had to play with a few more of the adorable new Picture Book dies. My first card features the Picture Book Walrus. I die cut the Walrus with white cardstock and blended Salty Ocean, Pumice Stone & Hickory Smoke to add the color.
SSS-Picture Book Walrus, Emphatic & Bubble TrackerFor the background I embossed the hexagon images from Bubble Tracker in clear and then blended Distress inks over in Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and  Mermaid Lagoon. The sentiment is from the Emphatic stamp set.

Best Days Release

Hello! Have you seen the fun new Best Days Release over at Simon Says Stamp? So much fun stuff! I was giddy to see more Picture Book Animals.
SSS-Picture Book Croc, Emphatic, Sweet Elephants & Picture Book SkyI’ve created a couple of cards using some of my faves from the new release. My first card features the Picture book Croc. I die cut the Picture Book Croc with white cardstock and then blended Twisted Citron & Crushed Olive to add the color. I never thought I’d fall for a croc, but this one’s pretty darn adorbs.
SSS-Picture Book Croc, Emphatic, Waves StencilI used the fun new Waves and Hills stencil with distress inks in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon & Salty Ocean. I die cut a waves with one of the Slopes & Hills dies so that I could tuck the Picture Book Croc behind. I added a super fun sentiment from the new Emphatic set by CZ Design. I get absolutely giddy when I see new CZ Design stuff!
SSS-Picture Book CrocNext up is a baby card featuring the Sweet Elephant dies.
SSS-Sweet Elephants, Picture Book SkyI used the Picture Book Sky for the background and die cut the elephants in Fog & Smoke cardstock. I added a simple sentiment from the Oh Baby stamp set.

Limited Editon 2018 Easter Card Kit

Hi there! Have you seen the latest Limited Edition Easter Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp? It’s such a cool kit with a little bit of everything for all your Easter/Spring themed projects. I’m sharing a couple of projects showcasing the kit.
SSS-Limited Editon 2018 Easter Card KitMy first card uses some of the gorgeous Lawn Fawn plaid paper included in the kit. I couldn’t wait to try the Deco Foil Adhesive Pen along with the Gina K Designs Deco Foil sheets on the  plaid paper. It is so easy to use and completely addictive.
SSS-Limited Editon 2018 Easter Card KitThe textured background paper is also included in the kit by Tonic and I added a sentiment using one of the stickers from the Simple Stories sticker sheet as well as a coordinating embossed sentiment from the Easter Wishes stamp set.
SSS-Limited Editon 2018 Easter Card KitFor this next card I had some fun using the Easter Egg Design Trio Stencil Set that comes in the kit.SSS-Limited Editon 2018 Easter Card KitI layered a couple of the stencils to create this patterned Easter egg using Cracked Pistachio & Mermaid Lagoon distress oxide inks. The embossed sentiment is from the Easter Wishes stamp set.
SSS-Limited Editon 2018 Easter Card KitHere’s a video to show you how I created my cards.

Too Rad to be Sad

Hello there! Just popping in on this last day of February with a spicy little number to share with you featuring the Grid Play background & stamp set along with the Archie Alpha dies.SSS-Grid Play & Archie AlphasTo begin I stamped the Grid Play Background in Moonlight pigment ink. Then I stamped each one of those small triangles to fill the entire panel. It looks like pattern paper, but it’s even better. It’s like the difference between a homemade chocolate chip and a store bought one. Homemade is always better:) SSS-Grid Play & Archie AlphasAs you can see, I am in love with the Archie Alpha dies and can’t stop using them. I just love being able to make my own ridiculous sentiments like this one. I saw this on a t-shirt and it made me laugh and plus it rhymes, ha! SSS-Grid Play & Archie AlphasHere’s a quick little video to show you how I made this card. Here’s to a “rad” day😀

I have a couple of winners to announce: The winner from my Sakura Blossom giveaway is BarbGhig. The winner from my MFT giveaway is Cathy Lillie.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Oh, Donut Even

Hi there! Popping in with a fun, little card to make you smile today😊SSS-CZ Design Archie AlphasI had some fun with the CZ Design Archie Alpha dies spelling out this cheeky little phrase. For the donut I used the I Love Donuts set and colored it with Copics and used white pigment ink to stamp the sprinkles and later went over the sprinkles with a white gel pen for more intensity. I used a 1″ circle punch to cut out the donut.SSS-CZ Design Archie Alphas How about that fun pattern paper? It’s from the new Really Rainbow 6×6 pack from Lawn Fawn. Pretty sure I need a lifetime supply of this paper.

SSS-HeyI think you already know how I feel about the Picture Book Monkey and when I saw the “cheeky monkey” sentiment in the Hello You set I knew I it was destiny!
SSS-HeyFor the background I trimmed strips of cardstock to 1/4″ thick and adhered them together onto a small panel. I used one of the Hey dies for the ‘Sup, which worked perfectly with the embossed sentiment in Hello You.SSS-HeyRainbows and cheeky monkeys…you just can’t top that! Thanks so much for stopping by!
