I'm so excited to share a project I made for the exclusive  STAMPtember  collab with Pretty Pink Posh. This stamp set is called Joy and Cheer and is now available at the  Simon Says Stamp shop . I have used this set to make holiday envelope seals! Just perfect!! I began by stamping the images from the set on to white cardstock using my MISTI and copic friendly black ink. I then colored each stamped images with copic markers. I also used some white detail gel pen and added a bit of glitter glue for some shine. I found a circle die that was the perfect size to die cut each of the images out. I will link the exact die I used below. Now I have six colorful circles that I can used on the back of my holiday envelope.  This photo shows me adding tape runner to the back of each and added them to the envelopes. I reccoment you use liquid glue for a stronger hold.  I hope you have enjoyed the project I have created and got some inspiration! Remember that all STAMPtember exclusive collaborat

This is a large 6X8 Stay Cozy clear stamp set and is now available at the  Simon Says Stamp shop . Amazing holiday scene building stamp set.💙 This card came together super easy! On a panel of white cardstock that I trimmed down to fit an A2 size card base I masked off a circle and used distress ink to create a snowy night sky. I started with the lightest blue shade first around the circle mask and then use darker blues around the edges of the panel. I used some white paint and a paint brush to add splatter on the "snow". I added landscape masks just cut from scrap paper and shaded each one in using more distress ink.I then used the images from the new Gina K Designs Stay Cozy stamp set to create my wintery scene. I stamped them in black using those masks that I created for the hills covered in snow. Last, I chose one of the sentiment from the stamp set and stamped that
