SSS-Perfect Shapes & Big Hugs

February 28, 2017

Hi there! Today I have a super duper colorful card to share with you featuring the Perfect Shapes & Big Hugs dies by Simon Says Stamp.SSS-Perfect Shapes HugsThis was so fun & deceivingly easy to make. First I die cut a million hexagons out. I considered it an upper body workout:) I used Canson Watercolor paper, which by the way worked fantastically with all the distress inks. I smoothed the in pads onto an acrylic block and simply used a wet brush to quickly paint each hexagon.
SSS-Perfect ShapesI love the vibrant spectrum of colors! I spent a good hour putzing around, shifting & sorting the hexagons until I was happy with the layout.
SSS-Perfect Shapes HugsThen I popped each one up with a foam square as well as the Big Hugs sentiment.
SSS-Perfect Shapes HugsHere’s wishing you a wonderfully bright & vibrant day full of big hugs:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

SSS-“Hopping Along” Limited Edition Card Kit

February 22, 2017

Hello there! I’m excited to share a project showcasing the latest Hopping Along Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.This kit has so many fun products in it. I didn’t know where to start! The first thing that popped out at me was the unique die that’s included in the kit. It’s a Train Track slider die. How fun is that?
SSS-Hopping AlongTo begin I embossed the gorgeous Mod Flower Background stamp in clear and then blended some delicious, springy colors including the brand new ink color that is part of the kit…Orange Slush(love!)
SSS-Hopping AlongI used the Easter Express Doodle Pop sticker for my slider image. Do you know how painful it was to use that one sticker? I might have to buy 10 more because they are so perfect with the Train Track slider die.
SSS-Hopping AlongHere’s a video to show you how I created this fun card.

Hi there! Just poppin’ in today with a project featuring the adorable Some Bunny stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.SSS-Some BunnyHow cute are these images? I LOVE the striped eggs! I stamped all the images with my MISTI and colored them with Copics.
SSS-Some BunnyFor the background I masked off the ground and blended Cracked Pistachio and Antique Linen. I also added a few subtle flicks of watercolors. I fussy cut all the images out and popped them up with foam tape.
