Thanks for your Patience

Good morning! I'm over on the Unity Blog this morning with this card!


I also have a Quick Tip Video showing how I layered this card together all girlie and cute!


I adore this little cutie - it is the newly released Sloth Endearments set - SOOO cute! I had fun coloring it up in non-realistic colors!


Despite the layers, this card is still pretty much flat - so easy to mail too!

Winnie and Walter January Release - Premier Day 1

Good morning! Super excited to be sharing some cards this week with the BRAND NEW Winnie and Walter Release - it is one HUGE release - packed with beautiful stamps and dies, many of which have a baby theme that is timeless! All new releases will be available on the 3rd of February!

One of my VERY favorite items from the new release is this fabulous In A Word: Precious Script Cutaway - paired up on this card with the fun new addition to the big and the bold line - The Big, the Bold, and the Baby:


I made this for a friend that recently had twins - one boy, one girl - thought this was perfect! I made a quick watercolor wash on the background with matching splatters, die cut the "precious" word 3 times and layered it together to make it nice and thick (and used an enamel dot for the dot on the i, since I didn't want to try to glue 3 of those together - haha!) - then added some washi tape and sparkly clear Pretty Pink Posh sequins before machine stitching around the edges for a soft finish.


For my second card today, I combined the new stamp set Scenery: Stripes 2 with another fabulous word die cut - In A Word: Congrats Cutaway:


I stamped the chevron pattern in alternating inks - switching the direction each time. Such a fun way to build your own custom patterns! Die cut out the word congrats, then layered together another cut with foam tape, and one with white cardstock, and layered them together, inset in the negative space and leaving the openings of the words showing through.


And finally, I almost threw away the word I die cut out of the last card, but as it sat on my desk, I realized it would be fun on a card too!


Super simple and quick - and another easy way to not waste any leftovers! Some black splatters on the cardbase - then added the die cut word! Super versatile and can be used for any kind of congratulations!

SSS Simple Valentine Card Set

Good morning! I don't know if you briefly saw the special Simon Says Stamp Valentine Card Kit last week - it sold out in record time, within hours I believe! Mine didn't arrive until after I had left for CHA last week, and I didn't have a chance to sit down and play with it until today finally. And while I know many people were very sad that it sold out so quickly, most of the items in the kit are still available separately (although I noticed even several of THOSE were sold out as well!) Hopefully it will be back in stock soon - in the meantime, here is some inspiration for either those who are lucky enough to have gotten their hands on it - or when it comes back in stock for anyone else who might be interested. All supplies are linked at the bottom of this post if you want more info on any of them.

The very first thing I did when I pulled my kit out to play was put together a quick set of 8 cards using the adorable Loving Heart Stamp set and the darling Doodlebug Cream and Sugar Icons Stickers - and put together with the fun SSS 4 Bar Pre-scored envelopes.


I adore the font and sentiments in this stamp set - and have a feeling I will be using it LOTS more on all kinds of different cards! I actually used all the sentiments from this kit - here is a closer look at each card:









Super fun using the stickers for these! LOVE!
