Simon Says Stamp You Are My Favorite Blog Hop - Day 1

I'm so happy to be participating in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp You Are My Favorite blog hop.  I am sharing 3 projects that focus on Mother's Day. Don't miss the special offer for the blog hop today👇👇
My first project is a Mother's Day card featuring the Fantastic Florals embossing folder. This embossing folder comes with two coordinating floral dies. Using a white 1/4 piece of white cardstock i ran it through the embossing folder and colored the flowers with copic markers R20, R21, R22 and E47 for the centers. I used the coordinating dies to create masks for the florals so I could add color with distress ink for the background.
Next, I created a gift tag for that special gift for Mom. I die cut the Scalloped Floral Tag set once from colored cardstock and again from white cardstock. I adhered the Mother's Day die that I cut three times for thickness on the colored tag. I then die cut many floral images from the Sweet Tiny Flowers die set in coordinating colored cardstock from the first tag. I randomly glued them to the white tag and then tied the two tags together with ribbon.
Last, I created a trio of 4-bar Mother's Day and Spring themed cards featuring the adorable I Love You A Bunch stamp set. I simply stamped the bunny images from the stamp set on white cardstock in black ink and colored them with copic markers. I then fussy cut them out and adhered them to a small scalloped square die that I colored with distress ink. I stamped the sentiments from the stamp set on each card in a coordinating color. CAS - Cute and Simple!
Simon is also giving away a $25 shopping spree to a lucky winner! The winner will be picked from the comments left along the hop. Each comment you leave will be an entry into the drawing.

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up. The next project I made also began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white paper. I then trimmed down another piece of...

Simon Says Stamp DieCember Blog Party

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the Simon Says Stamp DieCember blog party! Be sure to take advantage of the  exclusive promotion for this blog party👇👇  I'm one of those rare people that begins to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Using the new Ornate Star die I created ornaments for my little flocked Christmas tree. I feel like I could make a dozen of these easily! I die cut the Ornate Star die once from gold cardstock and once from silver cardstock. I then glued the die cut stars on to silver and gold glitter paper. I weighted it with a large acrylic block to help the stars adhered firmly to the glitter cardstock. When the adhesive was dry I used a craft knife to cut out the stars from the glitter cardstock. I then die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from red metallic cardstock and white cardstock and adhered together for thickness and glued them carefully to the stars as to not have a glob of glue mess up the shine of the metallic cardstock. I...
