Crazy Dog Holiday Card - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Aall & Create exclusive

Good morning! I'm back to share a card using the next of the special STAMPtember collaborations throughout the month! Each collaboration is with one of your favorite companies, is limited edition, and only available while supplies last. When it's gone, it's gone! Today's special release is from Aall & Create:

This stamp set - Christmas Magic - was not really usual style, but I wanted to stretch myself, and I love the way this card design turned out! It would be super easy to recreate with lots of different images too! I started off by stamping that funny dog in black, and heat embossing him with clear ink. I then used A2 Scalloped Rectangles dies paired with More A2 Rectangles to die cut some layers, using Echo Park Christmas Joy 6x6 paper pad. I trimmed out part of one piece of the pattern paper to use for my sentiment, and added a loopy twine bow at the top, held in place with a couple tiny staples. Used foam adhesive to layer things together, and finished off with a few enamel dots to embellish! Here is a closer look at this card:

Happy New Baby Cards - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Yesterday I shared a couple cards using a new stamp and die combo from Simon Says Stamp, paired up with some fun pattern paper. Today I have a couple more cards, using the leftover negative pieces from yesterdays cards! I turned them into baby cards, and I love that I didn't have to waste the extra pieces, and could create something entirely new!

As I already mentioned, I used the negative pieces from the Happy die for these cards. I also paired it up with the adorable new Welcome Little One set. Since the "H" and the "Y" in particular in this set aren't complete letters, I planned an arrangement that let both of those go to the very edge of my card. I used pattern paper from Echo Park Bunnies and Baskets paper pad (yep - a good way to stretch that more spring/Easter paper pad!). I stamped a couple cute little images from the set on some more pattern paper from that same pad, and die cut them out. Pattern paper was an easy way to add interest to them, without needing to color the images. Once I adhered all the letters and those images down with foam adhesive, I did add some glitter drops on parts of the blocks to add some sparkle and interest. Finished off with secondary sentiments from that stamp set, rounded off one corner of the cards, and then added a few Dazzling Gems in coordinating colors. Also added a tiny bow created with Lawn Fawn white hemp twine! Here is a closer look at these finished cards:

Quack Me Up - Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine Release

 Hello! I've got another cute card to share today using some of the new Rain or Shine Release from Simon Says Stamp! Excuse the pun, but this CA-UTE little ducky really does "quack me up"! Haha!

I thought it would be super adorable to piece together this little Darling Duckling with pattern paper, so I pulled out the Bunnies & Baskets 6x6 paper pad - I also grabbed some colors to pull together a background. I pieced the ducky together, using one Copic marker to color the pieces for the eyes. I pieced together the blue and green, then used a Circle die to cut a window, and layered together some torn edge vellum behind the window to ground the ducky. I also tied a tiny bow around his neck using Lawn Fawn white twine. Sentiment from Farm Life was stamped on a Small Folded Banner, and then I finished off with a row of coordinating Dazzling Gems from the pastel pack! Here is a closer look at this cutie:

Spring Bunny Shaker Cards YT Live - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Yesterday I did another YouTube live on my YouTube channel, using some supplies from Simon Says Stamp. This time I shared some fun spring shaker cards using the BRAND NEW Favorite Things Release from Simon Says Stamp!

Here is the live video if you want to see this technique in action, or you can watch it directly on YouTube HERE:

I decided to use the cute new Blessings at Easter stamp and die set, and pair it up with pattern paper to create shakers with the new Pastel Ice and Pale Green embellishment mixes. I stamped the images in Buttercream ink for a subtle bit of color behind the window, and then added cute little bows on the bunnies using Pretty Bows dies as well. The sentiments are heat embossed in white on black cardstock, and secondary sentiments are from the Reverse Thank You EZ Strips Sentiment Strips, die cut with the coordinating die. I also used the new Floral Butterfly Bouquet embossing folder to add some fun texture to the background! Here are more photos of the finished cards:

Reverse Houses - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Remember the trio of cards I shared yesterday using some items from my recent Simon Says Stamp order? Well...you know how much I love to use leftovers, right? So - I put a few of them to use to create another card using some of the same supplies, and a few additions!

For this card, I used the nicest of the negative space leftover from cutting one of the panels for yesterday's cards HERE. I used the leftover scraps of the pattern paper from all 3 of yesterday's cards, and pieced it together behind the panel. I had a little scrap of the background panel from THIS card that I tucked at the bottom, and wrapped around some Lawn Fawn white twine a few times and tied in a bow. I stamped a sentiment at the top from Hi There Greetings, rounded off one corner, and added a sprinkle of Dazzling Clear gems to finish off! I seriously love not wasting things - and it was fun to combine leftovers from two different projects on one card! Here is a closer look at this finished card:

Houses and Banners Trio - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Yesterday I pulled out a few more items from my recent Simon Says Stamp order, and had a blast putting them to use on this trio of cards! Sigh...I just love pattern paper and die cutting!

For this trio of cards, I started with the Neighborhood wafer die - I just loved the cute little row of houses with all those cute windows - so intricate, and yet simple at the same time! I chose some pattern paper from a new Echo Park Blossoms & Bees paper pad, choose simple monochromatic patterns for each card. The houses I die cut from white cardstock, leaving a small border along the bottom edge. I adhered those with foam adhesive, using small pieces of foam strips behind the solid areas on the houses to keep them stable. I used the new-to-me Small Folded Banner dies (LOVE these!) with sentiments from Silhouette Sentiments stamp set - curving the sentiment to fit the curved banner on each of those cards. Finished off with some white hemp twine, a few Dazzling Gems in clear, and a rounded off corner in the upper right edge. Here are more photos of these finished cards!
