With All my Heart {Simon Says Stamp}...

  

I sat down and made a card today just because.  I love these kinds of cards.  I dug through a pile of new stuff that I hadn't used yet and I found a die and a stencil that just belong together.  

This is the Simon Says Stamp Hearts and Streamers Stencil and the Simon Says Stamp With All My Heart Die....

To create this card, I found a pink cardstock for the card front and for the base.  I placed the streamer stencil down first with a little Pixie Spray and then blended in some white ink.  Next, I layered on the heart stencil and added in some red ink.  I also used my Silver Glitter Dust to spray on some shine while the heart stencil was still in place. 

I added the card front to the card base with a layer of fun foam for dimension and then worked on the sentiment.  First, I thought about leaving it white but realized quickly it needed some umph.  So I took the same pink cardstock and adding some ink blending with the same red ink to match.  I also added a little bit of a darker red along the bottom so the sentiment would have some gradient.  

After adding the sentiment to the card base and then realized it needed even more umph.  I grabbed my Glossy Accents ad covered the red die cut and then finished it off with a little Simon Mini Heart.  

I hope you enjoyed today's just because card!  Thanks for coming by today!  Have a great one!

SSS Make Merry Release Blog Hop

Hello everyone!  I am so excited to be hopping along with my friends at Simon Says Stamp today to showcase the new Make Merry Release.  This release is filled with some amazing new stamps and dies, just in time for the holiday!  Keep scrolling to see my projects, to learn about the prize and to see a full list of stops.  

Here is my first project.....

To create this card, I heat embossed this amazing leaf backgrounds stamp called All Leaves, onto a yellow card base.  I used my prismas and OMS to add in a little color.  

I die cut the Thanks die with white card stock and fun foam and layered them together for an easy dimensional sentiment to finish off the card.

This next set is called Santa's Sleigh Ride Slider.  I saw these adorable images and went straight into a quick and simple, easy to mass produce stack of Christmas cards....

I set the images up in my Misti and lined up the cards for a quick assembly line process.

I stamped each in Versamark and then heat embossed them all in white embossing powder...and done!  Now I have a great stack of one layer cards ready to mail!

Check out this fun blog hop exclusive.....

My heart is with you {STAMPtember}...

One of my favorite things about a stamp set is the font.  I am not a basic block font fan so when I see these gorgeous handwritten fonts, my heart skips a beat.  The set called Sympathy Greetings Mix from Simon Says is absolutely gorgeous and full of amazing sentiments in the most beautiful fonts!

I kept this card very clean and simple by stamping the sentiment on a white card front.  I paired it with Simon's Etched Laurel Dies for a super soft look.  I added just a tiny bit of ink blending to the centers of the white die cuts.

 

I used liquid glue on the centers and stems of the card so after attaching them, the leaves could be lifted a little bit for some dimension.  After the card front was all done, I added it to a white card base with a panel of fun foam.

Thank you {STAMPtember @ SSS}...

I had to stop in and share another card using my favoritist stamp set in all of STAMPtember!  This sentiment is from XL Greetings.  I just LOVE this stamp set and all of the big sentiments included.  Here is a super easy card using this set....

It was so easy to mask this card base off with washi and blend up a simple rainbow background. 

Net, I lined it up in my Misti and stamped the sentiment right in the center.  And done!  Such a quick and easy thank you card to have on hand.

Stambtember Altenew Collaboration Set...

Hello friends!  So excited to share the next amazing stamp collaboration from Simon Says Stamp.  Today it's Altenew!  Check out this gorgeous stamp set and die called Framed Friendship....

You know me....I like quick and easy so I did a fun stencil background and left those beautiful blooms in black and white!

I stamped the frame images that come in the set on the corners and then used purple tape to mask off with the inside line on the frame.  Then I added in some of Altenew's Classy Stripes Stenciling with some extra ink blending over the top.

I stamped and die cut the blooms and left them black and white.  I added them to the card front with foam tape for some dimension.  Last, I went in and added the sentiments and a few clear drops for extra detail.

Check out today's exclusive Stamptember set by clicking HERE!  Grab one up before its gone!

Have a great day!

Simon Says + Gina K Stamptember Collaboration...

Happy Day 4 of STAMPtember!  Today brings a new collaboration with an amazing company.  Simon is joining up with Gina K for today's exclusive stamp set!  Check out today's gorgeous set...

You can purchase the set by itself or in a bundle with the dies!  Here is my quick and simple card using this set....

To create this card, I stamped the large image in the set with Versamark and then did a little heat embossing.  I added in a rainbow of ink blending over the images and then used my favorite Waffleflower Circle Dies to cut out 2 sizes of circles.  I stamped and heat embossed the ornament topper in Gold Embossing powder and cut them out. I added them to the top of each ornament with a dot roller adhesive.

I grabbed a white card base and scored the front at 1/2" in around the panel.  I added the ornaments to the front of the card with foam tape for a little dimension.  Last, I die cut Merry Christmas with this adorable Simon Die in Gold Cardstock and then added that to the front.

Thanks so much for coming by today.  Hope you have a great day!

STAMPtember® 2020 Party...

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Party!  Me and a big bunch of friends are getting together today to share all the new Simon products available for the month.  Stop by the Simon Blog to learn more about Stamptember and see a full list of places to visit today!

I have 3 projects today so let's get started!

This first card showcases my favorite new stamp set.  It's called XL Greetings.  The set comes with 6 large sentiments in adorable fonts.  I love this big sentiment and how it really makes the card.

I kept it simple by adding it to a rainbow patterned paper cover card base.  To finish it off, I added a little Simon Mini Heart die and then covered it in Glossy Accents for some shine.

This next card is super quick and simple....

I used the new Sunflower Cling Background Stamp and left it in black and white.  I scored all around the card front using my Score-Pal with a 1/2" frame.  (Kinda hard to see in the photo).

This I stamped and die cut the Sending Sunshine from the XL Greetings Stamp Set and added it to the card front with foam tape.

The last set I want to share today is called Boo Crew....





To create this card, I scored a white card front at 1/2" to create an embossed frame.  I stamped the spider web and the spiders directly on the card front.





I colored up and die cut all those little cuties and added them around the Boo Crew sentiment.  Last, I  cut out a sentiment from the new Halloween Sentiment Strip Reverse and added it below Boo Crew with some foam tape.





Check out this super gift with purchase...
