Hi there, crafty friends. I hope you’re having a great weekend. I have another card share featuring THIS kit from Simon Says Stamp.

I used THIS stitched rectangle die and cut it from a piece of white card stock at an angle, creating a unique...
Howdy, crafty friends. I’m back with even more inspiration using THIS card kit. The specialty paper in the kit is gorgeous and I knew I wanted to use it for an ocean. I cut it using THIS die to resemble waves. I cut a card base down to 3.5 x 5 and used a variety of Distress Oxide inks to create a sunset for the background. I stamped one of the mermaid images from...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m back today with more inspiration using THIS Sept. card kit from Simon Says Stamp… I really like how the stamp set included in the kit has many smaller images.

I started by stamping the turtle and then placed the remaining images and...

Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card shows how to create an easy foiled background using new goodies from THIS release… I die-cut THIS new background die using THIS Minc paper. This paper is designed to take foil when heated with the MINC machine. I popped out all of the center pieces since some of them already fell out when running it through the die-cut machine. I placed THIS foil on top (pretty side facing up),...

Howdy, crafty friends. It’s been awhile since I’ve done an installment of stamping and scrapping, so I thought I’d share a scrapbook page I created using some of the new goodies from Simon Says Stamp’s Friendly Frolic release… I started by stamping THIS background four times. Each block has an ombre look using two different colors of the same ink, one light and one dark. I cut the title using THESE dies using white...
