Pattern Paper Framed Baby Cards - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! This past week I shared a few baby cards I put together to build up my stash - and since that didn't feel like enough baby cards to have on hand (been going to lots of baby showers lately!), I decided to assemble a few more. I used a fun frame die from Simon Says Stamp - and paired it with some lovely pattern paper to help this set of cards come together so quickly and easily! 

I started off with some fun backgrounds, and then the main panels from some Echo Park 6x6 pattern paper - a mix of Baby on Board Girl, and Baby on Board Boy. I trimmed the front panels with A2 Rectangle dies, and cut white frame using Lacy Point Frames die. Then I just layered up pattern paper and the framed panels, using foam adhesive to pop the frames up. Easy peasy! And now I have a nice big stash of baby cards to pull out when needed - some boy, some girl, and some neutral for those fun surprises! Here are lots of photos of these finished cards:

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:
