Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of project featuring the latest September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.
This kit is so fun! I love the Doodlebug papers & stickers and the Best Ever stamp set coordinates perfectly with everything, too.
For this card I used some of the of the Heart stickers included in the kit and some of that I already had…you do need a lifetime supply of these:) Then I mounted them onto little circles that were punched out using my 3/4″ circle punch. I popped the circles up onto a piece of the Doodlebug Fairytale paper & embossed a sentiment from Best Ever.
This next card is super simple and super sweet.
I stamped the images from the Best Ever set with Memento ink and colored them with Copics. Then I fussy cut the images out and popped them up with foam tape. I love how there are several sentiments in the Best Ever set that are arched and fit perfectly over the rainbow.
You can find out more about the September Card Kit over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Encouraging Words Release Blog Hop
August 5, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Encouraging Words Release Blog Hop. Simon hosted two blog hops for this release. You can head over to the Simon Says Stamp blog to see yesterday’s line up of amazing designers.
I’ve been wanting to create one of those “oh-so-cool” pop-up box cards for a while. I thought these new Space Journey dies would work perfect for creating a colorful galaxy on a pop-up card.
For the sentiment I used the You’re a Star die. How cool are these colorful planets? I used several colors of Simon Says Stamp cardstock along with coordinating ink colors to blend on each planet for some added interest. I also added some Wink of Stella to the stars for shimmer.
Here’s a video to show you how I made this pop-up box card.
GIVEAWAY!

Encouraging Words Release
August 3, 2017Hi there! Today I have a few cards to share featuring a few of the gorgeous new product just release by Simon Says Stamp for their Encouraging Words release.
This is such a fun release with a little bit of something for everyone! I fell in love with the gorgeous Carolyn Stencil and used it to create these cards along with the Thank You Teacher stamp set.
Using the Carolyn Stencil I blended distress inks onto watercolor cardstock. Then I embossed the sentiment in white onto vellum. I carefully added teeny tiny drops of glue behind the letters so that it wouldn’t show and then to finish it off I added some Nuvo drops. Using the largest Nested Circle dies I curved the top and bottom edges.
Using the same Carolyn Stencil I masked off four parts and ink blended with distress inks. Then I took another Nested Circle die to create a window for this fantastic sentiment.
I was able to use the positive part from the leftover die cut above on this card below. I love it when I can get two cards for the price of one!
Again I using the Thank You Teacher set to emboss a sentiment on black and popped it up with foam tape with a few sparkling clear sequins to finish it off.

New CZ Design Release
August 1, 2017Hi there! Have you seen the new release by Cathy Zielski for Simon Says Stamp? It’s fun, fresh, modern, sarcastic & awesome….just like her:)
I’ve created a couple of projects using two of her new sets…Yay & the Everett Alphas.
I spelled out “woot” with the Everett Alphas and embossed them in clear. Then I used distress inks and post it tape to blend a smokin’ rainbow background. The “#nailedit” is from the Yay set. For the card below, I embossed the “yes” in clear, blended more distress ink over top and then die cut it out with one of the Nested Circle dies.
I absolutely LOVE Cathy’s handwriting and her humor even more! Make sure and check out the Simon Says Stamp blog as well as Cathy’s blog for more info! Thanks so much for stopping by!
SSS-Magical Birthday
July 31, 2017Hi there! Popping in to share a cutie patootie little project featuring the Magical Birthday stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. I’ll never ever ever outgrow unicorns & rainbows. In fact yesterday I persuaded my Emma to get some Lisa Frank folders for her school supplies. Her arm was easily twisted:)
I stamped the images with Memento ink, colored them with Copics and fussy cut them out. For the background I blended distress inks onto Bristol paper followed by some flicks of water. I also smooshed the distress inks onto an acrylic block and with a wet brush I flicked some distress paint onto the panel.
I added some wink of stella to the unicorn’s tail & mane followed by some delicious dots of Nuvo Drops.
Wishing you a fantastical day! Thanks so much for stopping by!

SSS-Perfect Shapes dies
July 26, 2017Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of project using the Perfect Shapes dies.
It’s no secret that I have an obsession with all things geometric, and these triangle designs make my life worth living:) Even though I must’ve cranked that Big Shot like a billion times, it was all worth it to see these colors come together.
My inspiration came from this↑ ad I saw on Instagram the other day. I knew I had to try something similar.
There are several sizes of triangles in the Perfect Shapes dies set. I used the second to smallest triangle for this card. I popped the design up onto a navy panel with an embossed sentiment from Many Thanks.
I couldn’t stop at one and had to stretch the idea using a larger triangle die. This was also an effort to tame my scrap bin, but in the end, I think I actually made the scrap bin worse.
I popped up two triangle clusters with foam tape and added a sentiment from the Jumbo Stripes stamp set.
That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Live Well, Love Much
July 12, 2017Hi there! Today I’m sharing these two colorful projects featuring the Alphabet Blocks over on the Simon Says Stamp blog.
Don’t you love this sentiment? I talk more about it on my video that’s over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!
SSS-So Cool
June 30, 2017Hi there! Today I have a fun popsicle shaker to share featuring the So Cool set by Simon Says Stamp.
I used the coordinating So Cool dies to create little popsicle windows all over a panel of Neenah Solar White cardstock. Then, using the die cut panel as a guide, I stamped all the popsicles onto my card base and colored them with Copics.
I used the double sided foam strips to adhere all around each popsicle so that I could feel each shaker window with these delicious Queen & Company Diamonds. These rainbow shaker diamonds are absolutely gorgeous!
After I adhered my shaker together I added an embossed sentiment, also from the So Cool stamp set.
If only you could each rainbow popsicles with rainbow diamond shakers on them:) I would be in heaven! Thanks so much for stopping by!
