STAMPtember® Reverse Confetti

September 7, 2017

Hi there! I’m back and excited to share another STAMPtember® exclusive designed by Reverse Confetti called Celebrate Your Day.
This is such a fun stamp set full of great sentiments for celebrating. I was incredibly inspired by the amazing Nichol Spohr & Cathy Zielske using this gorgeous Radiating Rays stencil and have being dying to try this colorful technique.
First I embossed the celebrate sentiment in clear and then I blended distress inks using the Radiating Rays stencil. I added another coordinating sentiment from the Celebrate your Day set and finished it off with some Nuvo Jewel drops.
Here’s a video to show you how I made this card.

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for a blog hop featuring their new STAMPtember® release.
I have a few project to share showcasing the Grid Play collection. I designed these sets and I’m absolutely giddy about the endless geometric patterns that you can create with them!
For my first card I stamped the Grid Play Grid background cling in Maliblue and then stamped the solid circle images with Maliblue, Scuba, High Dive and Deep Sea ink. I added a sentiment from the Live Well stamp set as well as a few Pixie Dust sequins.
My next card uses the Grid Play Stencil to create this colorful triangle pattern.I blended Lemon Chiffon, Melon, Hollyhock & Hot Mama ink over a clear embossed Grid backround. I added a sentiment from Live Well and a few Nuvo Jewel drops to finish it off.This last card features the Grid Play Alphas set.
First I stamped the Grid Background in Barely Beige. Then I stamped the colorful sentiment. I stitched a layer of acetate over the stamped panel and filled it with Iridescent Star confetti for a full card shaker.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

SSS-September Card Kit

August 17, 2017

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!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 gift certificate to each stop on the hop. Leave me a comment for your chance to win! Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Tuesday.

Encouraging Words Release

August 3, 2017

Hi 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.
