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!


Stamptember


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.


Stamptember


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.

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....


SSS/GinaK


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.


SSS/GinaK


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.

Crafty Hugs {Spellbinders}...

The September Glimmer Hot Foil Kit is my most favorite yet.  I LOVE these rainbows and all the possibilities that come along.  I have 2 cards today showing a couple different ways to use them on a clean and simple card.  


Spellbinders


To create this card, I added very soft ink blended clouds to a white card base.  Next, I hot foiled the rainbow sections on 4 different colors of cardstock and then used the coordinating rainbow die to cut each of them out.  


Spellbinders


I added the cloud die cuts onto the rainbow with a little heart detail.  I found the perfect sentiment and stamped it right underneath.


Spellbinders


I wanted to use the rainbow die by itself so I cut it again out of the same colors...


Spellbinders


I added clouds to the background and then hot foiled the sentiment included in the kit with gold foil.  I popped up the cloud die cuts and added in the hearts.  


Spellbinders


I topped them off with Glossy Accents to finish off the card.

_____________________________________



If you are new to foiling, here is a quick run down....


Spellbinders has a platform called Glimmer Hot Foil System.  This platform heats up metal plates called Glimmer Plates.  These glimmer plates come in ALL different types....sentiments, florals, backgrounds, graphic details etc....and add the most gorgeous foiling detail to your cards.  And the foils?  There are LOTS of different colors to chose from!


Here are some links to help point you in the right direction....






The Glimmer Hot Foil System works great with a Platinum 6 Die Cut machine from Spellbinders but also works with other die cut machines. You can click HERE to see a compatibility chart.  


So once the platform and your glimmer plate heat up, you add in the foil and the cardstock and run in thorough your die cut machine.  Once you pull off the foil negative, the magic happens!  That foil that is set on your cardstock is just gorgeous!

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!


SSS Stamptember


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.


SSS Stamptember


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.


SSS Stamptember


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


SSS Stamptember


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).


SSS Stamptember


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.


SSS Stamptember


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


SSS Stamptember


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.


SSS Stamptember


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.


SSS Stamptember


Check out this super gift with purchase...





Head on over to the Simon Says Blog to learn more about Stamptember and to see a full list of party stops!

Have fun!

Look on the Bright Side Kit...


Erin Lee Creative has another adorable rainbow kit called Look on the Bright Side!  Its releasing today so head on over to her shop to check it out!

Here is a quick and simple card using the stencil included in the kit, as well as the new rainbow die and the sentiment set....


Erin Lee Creative


First, I added the yellow rays by blending some yellow ink with the stencil.  Next, I popped up the rainbow on fun foam and added that just below the stenciled rays.


Erin Lee Creative


To finish off the card, I stamped that adorable sentiment along the bottom and added a little black dot detail into the sunshine!
