Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of cards created using the latest May Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp called Kind Heart.
This kit has the most gorgeous PinkFresh Studio papers & stickers along with two stamp sets: Take Heart & Everything Together.
I used the Everything Together stamp set to create this card. I stamped the blooms using Mama Elephant pigment inks. To the centers of the flowers I added Glacier Enamel Accents along with a few scattered Clear Round Drops.
This next card uses some of the gorgeous PinkFresh Studio pattern papers included in the kit.
I added another sentiment from the Everything Together set along with a few tiny puffy heart stickers.

Fluttering By Release Blog Hop
April 13, 2018
Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for day 2 of the Fluttering By Release Blog Hop. My project features the Heart Mandala die along with the Love You Mama set. 
To begin I blended Distress Oxide inks in Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade onto bristol followed by flicks of water. 
Next I die cut the Heart Mandala onto white cardstock and adhered the die cut panel to an acetate sheet using spray adhesive. I create a shaker filling it with Celosia & Like Magic sequins.
For the sentiment I used the Love You Mama stamp set & coordinating die. I embossed a coordinating sentiment from the set in white onto a black strip and popped both up with foam tape. 
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

SSS-Be Brave
April 10, 2018Hi there! Have you seen the amazing new Fluttering By release by Simon Says Stamp? So many fun new products for spring, mother’s day and beyond! I have a project to share featuring the Yes You Can stamp set designed by my favorite Cathy Zielske and the adorable Picture Book Lion die.
To begin I stamped one of the sentiments from the Yes You Can stamp set all over the background using Lavender ink on Lavender cardstock. Then I die cut several pieces of solid colored cardstock for the Picture Book Lion. I used partial die cutting with one of the Stitched Oval dies to create a window frame for the the lion.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Limited Edition Mother’s Day Card Kit
April 9, 2018
Hi there! Have you seen the amazing new Limited Edition Mother’s Day Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp? It is absolutely gorgeous! Full of beautiful florals, gold accents and everything you need to create special projects for Mother’s Day and beyond.
I’ve created two projects using the contents of the kit. This first card uses one of the gorgeous metallic gold die cuts from the 4×4 mat stack by DCWV that is included in the kit. For the background I used a piece of patter paper by My Mind’s Eye, also included in the kit.
For the sentiment I used the Script Mom die and then embossed a coordinating sentiment from the Mom’s Clematis stamp set included in the kit. To finish it off I added some Nuvo drops in Rose Water and Metallic Bright Gold.
For this next card I die cut two tags using the Stitched Dress Up Tag die. Then I die cut an oval into the white tag die cut using one of the Stitched Oval dies. This created a perfect frame for the gold Puffy Heart sticker. I also added some Flourish Thickers Stickers one each side of the puffy heart.
I embossed another sentiment from Mom’s Clematis and added the trimmings to the tags using the Carousel ribbons by Crate Paper.

Best Days Release
March 7, 2018Hello! 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.
I’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.
I 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!
Next up is a baby card featuring the Sweet Elephant dies.
I 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
March 1, 2018
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.
My 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.
The 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.
For this next card I had some fun using the Easter Egg Design Trio Stencil Set that comes in the kit.
I 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.
Here’s a video to show you how I created my cards.
This is a Limited Edition kit so once they’re gone, they’re gone, but many of the contents can be purchased separately. There’s a video over on the Simon Says stamp blog walking through the contents of the kit. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Too Rad to be Sad
February 28, 2018Hello 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.
To 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:) 
As 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! 
Here’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.
