Sending Vitamin Sea - Simon Says Stamp Send Happiness Release

Good morning everyone! Simon Says Stamp has an awesome new release today called Sending Happiness - so I thought I'd pop in to share a quick card with you using some of the new release! There is also a two day blog hop over the weekend, so keep your eyes open for that as well!

I used two new products from the release - the fun new In The Round Stencil, and the darling new Be a Mermaid stamp set!

I started off by stenciling on a white cardbase, then added the image and sentiment stamped over the top. Wouldn't this be fun in all kinds of different color combos?!?!?

I love a good one layer card that still can have some fun layers and dimension - and stencils are a perfect way to add that...as well as Nuvo Glitter Drops and Glossy Accents! Can you see the mix of sparkle and shine I added to the tail?

Brave Hippo - Pretty Pink Posh June Release Blog Hop

Good morning! I'm stopping by today with sweet little card to celebrate the BRAND NEW June Release from Pretty Pink Posh (also available in a bundle HERE if you just want it all!)! This fun new release is full of adorable jungle theme cuteness - inspired partly by Paulina's little baby, Zion! Keep reading for more info, details on my card I'm sharing today, AND of course, some giveaway info at the bottom as well!

I fell in LOVE with the adorable hippo from Jungle Additions stamp set the minute I spotted him in the release - so I knew that was going to be the critter on my first card with the release!

I stamped him at the bottom of my cardbase, and colored him in with Copics, also adding color underneath to "ground" the image.

I added a sentiment using a combination of Simple Sayings: Brave stamp set, and Simply Sentiments Stamp Set - a fabulous set of thin small sentiments that I LOVE so very much as well!

I also loved the fun Stitched Leafy Borders dies - and wanted to use them all! So I die cut them all from white cardstock, blending different colors of Distress Oxide over them to add color and added some white paint splatters and gold splatters with my Starry Colors palette. I then cut each one in half and layered them coming down from the top of my card. Once I adhered them down, I turned the card over and trimmed off any excess leaves so that it all fit on my cardfront.

Finished off with lots of sparkly jewels from the Citrus Jewels Mix pack - the colors were perfect for my card, and took all the guesswork out of coordinating them together!

Home Sweet Home Shaker - Simon Says Stamp July 2020 Card Kit

Hello! I'm stopping by to share my first card created with the BRAND NEW July Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Home Sweet Home! This kit is such a fun kit at a time when many of us have been spending lots of time at home! The included stamp set by the same name has a lovely and versatile cityscape, and is and filled with fabulous sentiments, there is some fabulous pattern paper,  fun die set - not to mention the Cardstock, stickers, and more!

Today I'm sharing a simple and fun offset shaker design using the kit!

Here is the video sharing how this card came together:

I used a clear card sleeve to create this shaker element - but use what you have on hand. Stamp packaging works well, even a decent zip lock bag would be fine!

It's so fun to have a shaker go right up to the edge of the card - in this case, creating a semi-circle. Kind of makes me think of a snowglobe!

Here is a closer look at the entire kit contents - you can find all the details HERE:

What's your favorite part of this kit?

Evelin T Release Week - Day 4

Good morning! Today is the day! The new release from Evelin T Designs is live and ready to shop - you can find the new release HERE! Check out the Evelin T Designs Blog for more info!

Here is my card to share for today using Life is Beautiful - one of the new sets releasing today!

I loved all the darling little plan images, and thought they would be perfect to create a simple little shaker card.

I colored one of the little rows of plants with Copic markers, then carefully fussy cut out the image.

I created my shaker element using a die from Simon Says Stamp, filled with pretty sparkly circle confetti from Pretty Pink Posh, and tucked the row of plants under the bottom edge of the window.

I finished off by adding the sentiment underneath, then added Glossy Accents on the pots, and sparkly Nuvo drops on the plants for added sparkle.
