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:

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:

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 Altenew:

This lovely floral image was just calling out to be watercolored, so I pulled out my Altenew watercolors, stamped up my images, and had fun coloring! I originally stamped them off the edge of a panel of watercolor paper, thinking I would keep the card one layer. In the end, I die cut each partial piece of the flower, and then popped them up on my finished card. I actually really love how that worked! I used some Spellbinders colored cardstock, and SSS A2 Scalloped Rectangles to create a fun scallop layer - so lacy and pretty! I popped my florals up with foam adhesive, added my stamped and die cut sentiments, and embellished with a few Trinity Stamps Clear Twinkle Rhinestones for some extra sparkle! Here is a closer look at this finished card:

Shiny Bauble Stamped Ornaments - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Release

 Good morning! Today I'm sharing a bit of a different project, featuring more of the NEW STAMPtember Release from Simon Says Stamp! Instead of cards, I have some DIY ornaments I created with the new Shiny Baubles set. This set has a magical nostalgic feel to me, reminding me of some of the vintage ornaments I still hang on my tree from my grandparents. So fun to be able to create some paper versions thanks to papercrafting supplies!

I started off by stamping and die cutting doubles for each ornament, so I could adhere them together back to back - this way they could hang on my tree, and look pretty on both sides. I also die cut one plain one for each from solid coordinating cardstock, and when I adhered them together with thin foam adhesive, it made them all more sturdy, as well as allowing a bit of color to peek from inside. The circle ones fit together perfectly, while the oblong one was slightly offset, so the solid layer added a bit of a shadow effect that helped balance it all out on each side! I used tone on tone stamping, as well as gems that matched with each color, added some die cut layers with Honey Gold cardstock, stamped the sweet scene with crisp black ink, and added a bit of white glitter glue "snow" to each scene to finish. And of course, some white twine to tie on each to hang them from! Here is a closer look at each of these:

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:

Snowy and Bright - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Hero Arts exclusive

 Good morning! I'm here to share a card with one of the many 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 Hero Arts:

I had fun creating these little mountain/lake scenes! I started off by stamping some of the images multiple times. At first I couldn't decide which color I wanted the mountains, so I did two options, and thought about mixing and matching. In the end, I had enough to create two cards, so I just decided to do that! I used the new Hero Arts Snowy and Bright set, and lots of SSS inks - Seafoam, Eucalyptus, Juniper, Periwinkle, Crocus, Ballerina, and Plum. I especially enjoyed playing with those new pinks and purples! I die cut them all, arranged them on my cards and adhered with foam adhesive and liquid glue. I stamped a few of the tiny snowflakes around the top of the mountains, and added a sentiment below. Finished off with some sparkly Star Dust Stickles for a frosty touch! Here is a closer look at these finished cards:
