The included stamp set by the same name features some beautiful florals, and pretty, scripty sentiments (there is also a coordinating die for this set available separately HERE). There is also some beautiful pattern paper, a fun embossing folder, flower die, ribbon, distress stain...that's all not to mention the cardstock, envelopes, and more!

For this card, I went for a twist beyond a shabby chic and modern feel - keeping the colors light and bright and airy to achieve that affect. I used the new Blossom Swag embossing folder on some of the pattern paper in the kit, then ink blended some tone on tone ink around the edges, and added some texture with a distress tool. I adhered that down on my cardbase, added the sentiment, stamped, die cut, and popped up with foam adhesive. Finished off with some Clear Drops from Pinkfresh, and a twist of jute string tied in a bow! Here are some additional photos of this card:

I loved the large floral border, and thought it would be so elegant in simple black on white on some of that pretty pattern paper. As usual, when I couldn't choose which paper to use, I just used 3 of my favorites! I stamped and die cut each flower cluster with the coordinating die (not included in the kit, but available HERE for purchase separately!), then trimmed them in half so they could come in from each side of the card, overlapping in the center. I layered them on with foam adhesive, then stamped and added the sentiments the same way. I finished each one off with some pretty Pinkfresh Clear Drops to add some sparkle! Here are more photos of these cards:

Tea with a Friend - Pinkfresh Studio YouTube Live

 Good morning! I'm stopping by today to share a card I created earlier this week for a Pinkfresh Studio's YouTube Live. I used a variety of items that released earlier this year, and some unexpected layering and color combos! Scroll past this first photo for the video if you'd like to watch this card come together!

Here is the replay of the live video:

I used the Get Well Soon set from Pinkfresh, and while it is a fabulous set for that theme, I love that the sentiments can be changed up to give even more ways to put this set to use. For this card, I heat embossed the image and main sentiments in white on kraft cardstock, then ink blended over the top. I love the different look you get by doing this, and the crisp white lines. For the background, I used the Stippled Plaid press plate, doing it in red on pink cardstock, using a trick I learned from Carissa Wiley to help press plates work well on colored cardstock. Sentiments are from Beyond Happy and Cheers stamp sets. Some soft ribbon and a few jewels add some fun texture to this card! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Bright Lemons Card Set - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Stopping by today to share a layered A2 size card, and then a tiny little card and envelope set that I created using lots of goodies from Simon Says Stamp - I think tiny cards and envelopes are my favorite thing ever after this - SOOO cute!

I had placed an order from Simon Says Stamp for a few items, and had no idea how well they would all work together! I used all but one item in my order for this little card set - and it was so fun to break new goodies out and use them right away! I started off with the larger card, using a mix of pattern paper from the 6x6 Carta Bella Fruit Stand pattern papers, and the SSS Daisy Oval Frame die for a focal point. Sentiments were added with a mix of Sunshine and Smiles stamp and die heat embossed in white on vellum, and a small secondary one from Just a Note stamp set. For the tiny card set, I used Banana cardstock, the SSS Scoring Board, and the Spellbinders 1-2 punch to create the bitty envelope. Then, of course, I had to create a cute mini card to go with it! For both cards, I finished off and embellished with some Warm Tone Gems - so sparkly! Here are more photos of both of these projects:

Blended Floral Paper Hug Cards - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Stopping by on the last day of the month with one final set of cards using a couple of stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp - one very new, and one a bit older! I love these pretty florals - and the bright happy ink blending is so fun paired with them!

I actually pulled out a set that I have had for a while, and hadn't had a chance to ink up yet (I know...sad how often that happens isn't it?!?). It is a large cling stamp background called Dogwood Bleeding Heart. I stamped and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder on panels of white cardstock, then ink blended over the top with two different combos of Pawsitively Saturated inks: Grapefruit and Punch for one, and Orchid and Peony for the other. I added stamped sentiments from the Bad Day Good Vibes stamp set from the newest release, then finished off with a few Dazzling Gems from either the Cool or Warm tones sets. Here are more photos of these finished cards:

You Are My Sunshine - Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit

 Hello! I'm sharing a few more cards using the newest July 2024 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit -  Sunny Smiles! This month's kit is full of sunny and summery fun! The included stamp set by the same name features some adorable images and fun sentiments. There is also a sentiment die, fun embossing folder, color blend cardstock, embellishment mix...that's all not to mention the cardstock, envelope, and more! 

The monthly card kit has even more perks now when you sign up for the new Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more!

Today I'm sharing TWO different versions of some card duos featuring the Sunny Smiles stamp set in the kit. I played with some unique color combos to create these - and couldn't decide if I liked the colors one way, or reversed. So, I did them both ways! I die cut them using the largest Wonky Rectangles die, and then alternated the colored cardstock for the cardbases, using bright colors from the Rainbow Splash cardstock assortment. Finished off by embellishing with the fun Adhesive Enamel flowers in the kit. So cute! Here are more photos of these finished cards - including the second color combo:
