Hello there, crafty friends. I’m thrilled to be part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release. I have a card set to share that features pre printed sentiment strip backgrounds… I’m a big fan of the pre printed sentiments from Simon Says Stamp.

Hi, crafty friends. Today’s card shares a different use for the Sentiment Strips Panels… I’m a big fan of the pre printed sentiments from Simon Says Stamp. They are intended to cut apart and use the sentiments individually, but I decided to keep the panel whole and use as a background. They are printed with toner ink which means they are compatible with foiling. I laid a strip of purple foil on top of...
Hello there, crafty friends. I’m sharing more inspiration using THIS card kit… I die-cut a piece of pattered paper with a Deckle Edge Rectangle die and used a smaller rectangle in the set to emboss a pattern inside. I used an embossing mat in my die-cut machine which makes an impression of the die instead of cutting it out. I die-cut the Repeating Circles die from the center of the panel as well as...
Hello again, crafty friends. Today’s card features THIS new card kit from Simon Says Stamp… I started by cutting the patterned paper into small strips. I laid out all of the strips vertical first. It was a row of five and adhered only the very top of each strip to the gray panel. I started weaving in the remaining strips horizontally. Once I was happy with the placement, I added dots of liquid glue...

Hello there, crafty friends. I recently watched THIS gel press video by Jennifer McGuire and I am hooked. I had so much fun creating backgrounds with my gel press and my MISTI. For the first card, I inked up the gel press with pink and orange inks to create a colored background. I layered the background by inking up the gel press and stamping on top of stencils that I laid on top of...

Hello, crafty friends. I’m back today with more inspiration using THIS new release. I started by stamping two kraft panels using THIS text background with clear ink. I used THIS interactive die to die-cut all the interactive elements to the card. I highly recommend watching THIS video when assembling all the pieces. It makes it so easy. I die-cut several of THESE carrots and added a bit of ink to the green and orange...
Hi, crafty friends. Today’s card share features a fun spring scene… I started by creating a 5 x 7 white card base.
