Reindeer Kisses - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Pink and Main 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 Pink and Main:

The Reindeer Kisses set has some super cute images, and since I couldn't pick one, I decided to add a few to my card! I paired it up with some 49 and Market Mistletoe & Memories pattern paper - those tags are actually trimmed from a piece of that paper! I punched a hole and threaded through some twine on each one. I stamped the images and sentiment in black ink, then clear heat embossed, and die cut with the coordinating dies. I layered everything together, using foam adhesive for some of the layers, and then colored just the scarves of each reindeer to coordinate with a tag. I added some sparkly glitter drops over the scarves, and then finished off with a few sparkly enamel dots! Here is a closer look at this card:

Christmas Birdie Joy - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Today I'm sharing some CHRISTMAS cards (haha - sorry if you hate jumping ahead on seasons, but it's always nice to get ahead, right?). I'm using an adorable little birdie die that I wanted to break open and try, and pairing it with some fun other dies and pattern papers from Simon Says Stamp. I mean, how adorable is that sweet little birdie?!?!?

I actually began by choosing my pattern paper - which is a great way to set the colors you will use on your ink blending. I used some new to me 49 and Market Mistletoe and Memories pattern paper (first time using their pattern paper, and it is such a lovely thick and heavy weight! I love it!). I also added some interest to the top layer of pattern paper by using the newer Simple Stars stencil with some Nuvo Moonstone glitter paste. While that dried, I worked on the Fun Birdie. I cut all the layers out from white cardstock, then used my Tacky mat to hold the little pieces in place while I added color with ink blending in Buttercream, Cocoa, Brick, Paprika, and Honey. I assembled all the layers together with liquid glue, then white heat embossed some sentiments from Making Spirits Bright on black cardstock and die cut them out. I also die cut two sizes of Modern Teardrop frames from Honey Gold cardstock and white carstock, adhered them together, then trimmed a straight edge on the bottom of each one to change the shape a little. Layered together all the pattern paper, frames, sentiments, and birdies with a mix of liquid glue, tape runner, and foam adhesive. Finished off with a couple twists of May Arts gold string wrapped and tied in a bow, and a sprinkle of enamel dots! Here is a closer look at these festive and fun cards:
