You Are Loved Peeking Duck - Simon Says Stamp You Are My Favorite Release

 Good morning! Today I have a fun little ducky shaker trio card using some supplies from the NEW You Are My Favorite Release from Simon Says Stamp. I love the wonky, playful design - although in hindsight, I wish I could adjust the tilt on the far right ducky! But I also think, at the same time, that's it's kind of fun as well. What can I say - it's handmade, not perfect, right?

I started off by using the adorable little Peeking Duck die (the name on that one just cracks me up!) and cutting it 3 times from a panel of white cardstock. I created a shaker with each one using different colors of Gina K cardstock to back each shaker window. I filled them with tiny 3mm sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, and added a repeating sentiment from the new Inside Greetings 1 stamp set. Finished off with some coordinating Enamel Dots and a bow of Iridescent white cord tied around the top! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Mix and Match Florals and Stencils YT Live - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Yesterday I went live on my YouTube channel using a few items from the You Are My Favorite Release from Simon Says Stamp, and mixing and matching some different items. I combined two different floral sets - one die and one embossing folder - and also used a frame die and stencil two ways on my card front. And don't even get me started on that fabulous sparkly details that I was able to add with something new to me!

Here is the live video if you want to see this card come together, or you can watch it directly on YouTube HERE:

I started off by die cutting a frame from a piece of acetate using Petal Tipped Labels die. I then used both the positive and negative as a mask, first blending a bit of soft yellow ink on my cardbases, then using the Delicate Lattice stencil with a deeper yellow to add texture in a darker shade. Before removing the masks, I added some sparkle with the new-to-me Cinderella's Shoes Picket Fence Paper Splatter. It is SOOO sparkly and pretty! I did some die cutting and ink blending (you can watch the videos for details) using Fantastic Florals embossing folder and dies, Poised Primula dies, and Exquisite Butterfly die and finished assembling the cards. Added sentiments from Flowering Frame, heat embossed in white on black cardstock, a few sparkly Dazzling Gems in Prism, a bit of Iridescent Cord, and a rounded corner on each card to finish off!

Scandinavian So Very Grateful - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Today I have a bit of a throwback card using some lovely supplies from Simon Says Stamp! The stamp set I used for this I got quite some time ago in a card kit, but hadn't used it in a long time. I recently ordered the dies to work alongside it - and I love that having those breathed new life into this set for me! Plus - that scallop heart is fabulous, and I have a feeling I will be using it lots more in the future!

I started off by stamping the images from Happy Hello - the main image in Cadette ink, and then a flower and heart from the set in Zest. I die cut it with the largest Nested Rounded Heart die - which just happens to perfectly coordinate with that scallop heart from the Happy Hello dies that I cut from Rainbow Splash Scarlet cardstock. For the background, I die cut the older Holiday Knit background die from white cardstock, and layered it over a white cardbase for subtle texture. I used a Reverse Thank You sentiment strip, cut with the EZ Strips die, and then hand trimmed on the edges to a banner shape. Used Big Momma foam adhesive to add the layers, and also popped the heart and flower up with foam adhesive on the background, and finished off with a few Dazzling Gems in Sunbeam on the image. Love these fun primary color tones with lots of bright open space! Here are more photos of this card:

Sweet Friend Perfume Bottle - Spellbinders

Good morning! I had a bit of spare time over the weekend, so pulled out some goodies from Spellbinders to play with - these sets were included in a previous Pinkfresh Create and Connect event, and had released individually, so I had fun pulling them out again and putting them to use! 

For this card I featured the Gorgeous You Perfume Bottle and Florals dies, as well as the Cross My Heart 3D embossing folder. I cut the bottle and florals with lots of colored cardstock, and a bit of Ivory Glitter paper as well as Honey Gold metallic cardstock. I layered everything together, and added hot foiled sentiments from Press Plate and Die set called Ideal Moments. For the background, I used the embossing folder on white cardstock, then tore a center portion out to reveal the cream cardstock underneath. Rounded off one corner, then finished off with some Dazzling Gems in Clear to embellish the centers of the flowers and along each side of the card! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Floral and Plaid Mom Cards - Simon Says Stamp You Are My Favorite Release

Good morning! Today I have a couple more cards to share using some more of the new You Are My Favorite Release from Simon Says Stamp. These feature lots of pattern paper, a bit of die cutting, and some stamping to build a fun Mother's Day sentiment!

Not only do I love pattern paper - but I'm particularly a sucker for a good plaid! These Carta Bella papers from the That's My Boy and That's My Girl paper pads were perfect for some fun Mother's Day cards - or even just because for Mom, it doesn't have to be reserved for one day, right? I used the new Monogram stamp set, and paired with a secondary sentiment from the new Mother's Day stamp. I added some fun florals using the new Sweet Tiny Flowers die, using more pattern paper for the blooms, and white cardstock for the leaves. Finished off with a little bow from Pretty Bows die, and a few Clear Dazzling Gems for some extra sparkle! Here are more photos of these cards:
