They Really Do Exist - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember This Calls for Confetti 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 This Calls for Confetti: 

Today's card was VERY unexpected for me! I don't create Halloween cards, so I usually skip the sets that are specifically for that purpose. It was fun to take this one, stretch it out of the box, and come up with a VERY different card design! And it's a shaker too, just for extra fun! I live in the Pacific Northwest, and Bigfoot is a bit of a legend around here, so this card makes me laugh a bit extra! I used Woodland Treescape die to create the main focal point of my image and shaker element. I used a bit of Honey ink on my cardbase and the individual trees, otherwise there is just lots of white space on this card. I filled the shaker with Trinity Stamps Sparkle Stars for some subtle sparkle, and heat embossed the main image with clear embossing powder after stamping for extra shine. Sentiment was stamped, trimmed into a thin strip, and tucked under one side of the window. Here is a closer look at this finished card:

Grateful for You - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Pinkfresh Studio 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 Pinkfresh Studio:

I had so much fun pulling out a Pinkfresh stamp, stencil, and die combo again to play with - and mixing and matching it with Simon Says Stamp dies and inks! I stamped the image in Fawn ink first, leaving the stamp lined up in my MISTI to restamp after ink blending. I added color to the image with Artichoke, Fairy, Plum, and Honey ink, then restamped over it with black ink for a crisp outline. I cut it out with the coordinating die, then cut out some panels to layer it together. I first cut a A2 Scalloped Rectangle from white cardstock to layer over Cream cardstock for the base. Then I cut a layer of Concord and 9th cardstock and SSS Sage cardstock using A2 Rectangles and More A2 Rectangles - I love how those two sets work together to give a perfect range of every possible size you might want or need! I layered the florals over top with foam adhesive, stamped and die cut a sentiment to pop up on two layers of foam adhesive, then finished off with a few Pinkfresh Peach Fuzz Jewels for a touch of sparkle! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Today's special release includes TWO sets - this one is by La La Land Crafts:

I went soft and simple for that fun little deer image, heat embossing it in white on some pattern paper from 49 and Market Mistletoe and Memories paper pack. I added a few more pieces of pattern paper from the same paper pad to layer up, and a die cut frame using Modern Teardrops die. A few Simple Stories enamel dots add some fun sparkle, and a bit of May Arts twine tied in a bow tucked on the deer finish this card off! Here is a closer look at this finished card:

Big Bloom Birthday - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Inkon3 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 one of TWO that are all being revealed today - this one is Inkon3: 

I hadn't done paper pieceing in some time, and this image just felt like it was calling out for the technique! The big beautiful bloom was perfect! I stamped it off the edge of my A2 white cardbase, then stamped it again on the same size pieces of pattern paper from Carta Bella That's My Girl 6x6 paper pad. I fussy cut the images out, then used a glue pen to adhere them over the stamped image. A super fun and detailed look, but fairly quick and easy to recreate! I stamped and die cut the sentiment, then popped it up with foam, rounded off one corner, and added a few coordinating Spellbinders Woodland Tales embellishments to finish off! Here is a closer look:

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 one of TWO that are all being revealed today - this one is Memory Box:

I had fun creating this snowy little scene! I stamped both the penguins from the set in black ink, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder, then die cut with the coordinating dies. I added some simple Copic coloring to the penguins, and then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment as well. I layered together a window die cut from one of the Modern Teardrops dies from Schoolhouse Red cardstock, a white Detail Pincushion plate layer over some Audrey Blue cardstock, and some Pinkfresh Glacier glitter cardstock at the bottom to ground the images. Added some Nuvo Blizzard glitter drops on parts of the image, then finished off with some Baker's Twine tied around the bottom of the card! Here are more photos of the finished card:

Golden Roses - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Pretty Pink Posh 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 Pretty Pink Posh:

This set is lovely, and perfectly captures the style that Pretty Pink Posh is known for! I love that each of the florals and leaves are separate, to allow for so many options to arrange! I heat embossed them all in gold on white cardstock, die cut, then blended over the top using SSS inks in Honey and Pucker for the flowers, and Juniper for the leaves. I stamped each of the leaves two times, and the florals once. I didn't end up using every single one, but most of them! I used Chevron Pierced Plate for the background, and created a frame with Notched Squares from Honey Gold cardstock. I arranged my florals at the bottom of the frame, and finished off with some Dazzling Gold gems for even more sparkle! Here are more photos of the finished card:

Snowglobe Tags - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Mama Elephant exclusive

 Good morning! I'm back to share a set of tags 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 Mama Elephant:

I couldn't pick an image in this cute set, so of course I stamped out 3 of them! I started off by watercoloring the images with my Gansai Tambai watercolors, then once they dried, cut them out with the coordinating dies. I thought about putting them on a card, but as I looked at them, I realized they would be perfect as tags! I die cut some tags using another STAMPtember special release, the Tim Holtz Festive Tags dies. I used fun colors of Spellbinders cardstock, then popped the images and sentiments up on the tags with foam adhesive. I added bows at the top using May Arts Faux Silk ribbon, a few Pinkfresh enamel dots, some dots with a white gel pen, and some sparkly elements with some Stickles. Here is a closer look at the finished set:
