Hi, crafty friends. I’m sharing a card today featuring the new 3D Card Die Set… I started by cutting a piece of blue card stock to 2.75 x 5.25 to create the reveal panel. I applied the Blanco transfer gel through the Fading Circles stencil on the panel. I chose to use the Blanco transfer gel because I was applying it on top of colored card stock. After it was completely dry, I laid...

Hello there, crafty friends. I fell in love (pun intended) with the Tied the Knot stamp set and created a slimline card using it… To create this card, I die-cut the Slimline Marquee Die from black card stock and adhered red paper behind it to show through the open circles. I stamped and colored some of the images from the Tied the Knot stamp set. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out....
Hi, crafty friends. The July Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp is now available! I created a card using some of the kit’s contents… I started by applying Distress Oxide inks to the kit’s embossing folder. I applied it to the side that was flat, not the bumpy side. I spritzed it with water and laid in a piece of watercolor card stock and ran it through my die-cut machine. I love the messy...
Happy Friday, crafty friends. I hope you had a great week. Today’s card share celebrates Pride month… To create this card, I die-cut the Strips 1 die in a rainbow of colored card stock. I adhered them to an A2 black card base and stamped sentiments from the You are Loved stamp set. I added the pride die-cut on top and finished off the design with a few gems. Simon also has a pack...
Howdy, crafty friends. I have another card to share using more goodies from the new Rainbow Release HERE. On a slimline panel, I applied pink ink through the Fading Hearts stencil and then I applied Glitter Glitz Gel on top for some sparkle and shine. I stamped and colored the sundae images from the Sundae Afternoons stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I white heat embossed a sentiment from...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m sharing another card created with products from Simon Says Stamp’s new release HERE. Our family is at the beach right now so I thought it’s a great time to share this card… I inked up the Sea and Sky background stamp in three parts using Distress Oxide inks. I love these kind of background stamps because you can pull apart the sections to stamp or keep it as a whole. So...
Hi there, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS blog hop celebrating THIS new release from Simon Says Stamp. I have a few cards to share using embossing folders and alcohol inks… For all three cards, I embossed each embossing folder using Yupo paper. I applied alcohol ink blending solution on top of the embossed panels and then sprinkled on some Pearl Alcohol Inks. I chose the Pearl Alcohol inks because of...
Hi there, crafty friends. I’m back with even more inspiration using THIS new release from Simon Says Stamp… I started by cutting the pieces out from the Box Card Die as well as one of the borders from the Box Card Die Borders. I cut the back panel from white card stock and stamped the Sea and Sky Background on it. The back piece can be as tall as you would like but needs...
Howdy, crafty friends. Simon Says Stamp’s newest release is HERE. It’s called, “Rainbows” and it’s fabulous. Today’s card share features a gatefold design with a vellum belly band… I started by creating a gate fold card base. I used two side folding A2 card bases and scored the front panel down the center. I folded each side back in opposite directions and adhered the back of the card bases together. I stamped and colored...
