Dreamy Thinking of You - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

Good morning! I've got another card to share using the In My Heart Release from Simon Says Stamp! I used some items that I had leftover from THIS card, and some similar colors - I don't think there is anything lovelier than soft dreamy peachy pink tones, do you?


I started off by embossing some new Seashell cardstock with Butterfly Escapade embossing folder. I then swiped some clear embossing ink over the top of it, and sprinkled with some clear embossing powder. This gives a tiny bit of neutral shine, and makes those butterflies just pop a bit! Next, I die cut one of the Scalloped Arches dies from white cardstock, and then used the inside space of the Scalloped Arches Frames from the other card (you can see it HERE) from Altenew glitter cardstock. I stamped the large floral from Wild Rose on vellum and heat embossed in white, then trimmed in half to overlap the center scallop frames. Added a sentiment from Friendship XL EZ Strips die cut with XL EZ Strips Banners die, and added a secondary sentiment from the Wild Rose set that the florals came from. Here is a closer look at the finished card:

Love You Mom Butterflies - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

Hello! Today I've got another card to share using the NEW Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release! This card is all embossing folders and die cuts - no stamping or even ink blending to be seen!


I started off with the lovely new Braided embossing folder to create a textured background on white cardstock. I then used 3 of the new cardstock colors - Seashell, Apricot, and Moonflower - paired with the Butterfly Escapade embossing folder and die to add a row of pretty butterflies to my card. Sentiment is the dainty new Love You, Mom die, cut from Honey Gold cardstock for the detail layer, and white cardstock for the shadow layer. Finished off with a heavy sprinkle of Peachy Dazzling Gems for sparkle! Here are more photos of the finished card:

Blooming Wreath - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

Good morning! I'm stopping by with another card using the NEW Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release! I'm using another of the new embossing folders, a few different dies, and more of that yummy new colored cardstock!


I started off by using the new Moonflower cardstock and embossing it with the new Blooming Wreath embossing folder. I used the debossed side of the panel, and swiped my White Pigment ink over the top to lighten the outside portion a bit extra. Then I blended just a touch of Lilac ink into the flowers in the wreath to make them pop a bit extra. I added the Thank You Sentiment die, cut from glitter cardstock and vellum for the shadow layer, and added a secondary sentiment from Thanks, Mom. The butterfly is from Butterfly Escapade, die cut from the new Seashell cardstock and embossed, then with the center cut from Honey Gold cardstock. I then went crazy with Iridescent Clear Drops to embellish the flowers - I love all that sparkle! Here is a closer look at the finished card:

I paired up some of the new release items to create this floral card - keep reading to find out how I put it together!


The new Friendly Blossoms stencil and die set is so fun - I love how the dies add some texture to the image as well! I started off by stenciling the flowers with several different inks, using two tones on each flower to add some dimension. I then alternated the colors for the centers of the flowers, using the deepest shade in each trio for those centers. I used Butter, Zest, Honey, Melon, Cantaloupe, Sherbet, Cheeky, Blush, and Pucker inks for this. Next, I grabbed the new Best Mom background stamp set and stamped it in Flannel ink to add a soft background for my card. I trimmed that panel down and popped it up on a white cardbase, then added the flowers tucked around the design. Finished off with a sentiment from Thanks, Mom stamp and die set, and a few Opal Dazzling Gems for some soft sparkle! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Holding You in my Heart - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

 Good morning! Dropping by today with another card featuring the BRAND NEW Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release! I've used one of those lovely new cardstock colors again, and paired it with several other new items from the release to create a shaker card!

I started off with one of my favorites of the new cardstock colors - Seashell. It's such a soft and pretty pastel tone! I embossed it with the new Apple Blossoms embossing folder to create some texture inside my shaker window. I created my shaker window by die cutting another favorite from the release - Scalloped Arches Frames from a panel of white cardstock. I then cut the same frame from Altenew glitter cardstock to inset to add the frame around my shaker. I filled my shaker with the new Cream Puff Embellishment mix. I heat embossed a flower from the Wild Rose stamp set in white on vellum for a lacy flower to add to the front, and tucked it behind a sentiment from Friendship XL EZ Strips sentiment strips that I cut with XL EZ Strips Banner die. I added a secondary sentiment from Wild Rose stamp set to finish this card off! Here is a closer look:

Floral Mother's Day Duo - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

Hello! It's release day for the amazing BRAND NEW Simon Says Stamp In My Heart collection - and I'm stopping by with my first couple of cards using lots of items from the new release! I'm super excited about a few of these items (THE NEW CARDSTOCK COLORS!), and can't wait to share lots more with this release!


I am absolutely in love with the new cardstocks in sweet and soft pastels! I love each and every color, and know I will be using them a lot! I started off by die cutting the new Jaunty Stem and Fresh Crocus Duo and assembling them together. I used Seashell and Apricot for the Jaunty Stem, and Moonflower for the Crocus, then Starlight for the stems, as well as the cardbase. I die cut the new Teardrop Pinpoint Frames from white cardstock, and used popped them up with foam adhesive to use as a canvas for my design. I added the flowers with liquid adhesive, then tucked a bow on each one from the new Little Bows Dies (another favorite!) cut from Altenew glitter cardstock. I added sentiments from the new Thanks, Mom stamp and die set, stamping them in Nocturne black ink, then heat embossing with Clear Sparkle embossing powder. Finished off with a few Dazzling Gems in clear for extra sparkle! Here is a closer look at both of these fun cards:
