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:

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:

Winter Wishes Action Wobble - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Newton's Nook 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 Newton's Nook: 

I had so much fun creating this warm vintage feeling card, and adding some fun motion with mini action wobbles! I started off by stamping the images and sentiments from Skate Paw-ty on Cream cardstock in Cappuccino ink, layering on some embossing ink, then heat embossing with clear powder. Next, I did some simple shading and coloring with just two Copic marker colors. I grabbed some pattern paper from Carta Bella Christmas Village paper pad, die cut some circles from some of it, and layered things together, trimming the circles to add some different arrangements and interest. I popped the images up on those action wobbles, added a few enamel dots to embellish, rounded off one corner, and finished off with a bit of sparkly Stickles on parts of the images for a little extra touch! Check out the photos - including some action shots towards the end of the post:

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:

Rooting For You Trio - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I'm here with a sweet little trio of cards featuring a newer stamp set from Simon Says Stamp that I hadn't put to use, and some fun plaid backgrounds and borders!

The Rooting for You set is sooo cute and fun! And I had these Lawn Fawn pattern papers and Delicate Stitched Borders actually on hand and prepped for something else I was working on, but ended up going a different direction. They were perfect for these cards though! I started off by stamping and watercoloring all my images with Altenew watercolors. Once they dried, I cut them out with the coordinating dies. I layered up my pattern paper and borders on my cardbases, using foam adhesive for the borders, and tucking the largest image a bit under the border so it was peeking out. Sentiments were stamped and hand trimmed into little banners, and then a few Simple Stories enamel dots finish these off! Here is a closer look at all the fun:
