Hello crafty friends! I am happy to share a project featuring the next exclusive STAMPtember collaboration with Gina K Designs . She never disappoints! This gorgeous stamp set is called Shimmering Christmas. I used a poinsettia embossing folder for the background of my project. I took gold mica paint to add a bit of gold sparkle to each of the centers of the poinsettias. I then trimmed it down and adhered it to a panel that I painted more gold on the edges and added to a white A2 size card base. I then stamped the tree image from the set using clear ink to emboss in gold and cut out with the coordinating die. I used foam squares to add it to the center of the card with an embossed in gold sentiment. I added tiny red jewels all over for that extra something special. I hope you have enjoyed the project I have shared and got some inspiration!  Remember that all STAMPtember exclusive collaborations will only be available while supplies last.

Hello crafty friends! I am happy to share a project featuring the next exclusive STAMPtember collaboration with Riley & Co. I love that this set includes Simon the dog. It's always a favorite for STAMPtember. Let's start with the focal point for this project. I used copic friendly black ink to stamp the images from the stamp set and colored it with copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out and popped it up on a panel of white cardstock that I ink blended clouds and grass on. This stamp set has some fun sentiments perfect for inside the card.  I then stamped the Hey, Friend sentiment in clear ink and heat set with white embossing powder on a strip of red cardstock. I used scissors to create banner and used 3d foam squares to pop it up under the image. For the card base I used a background stamp in red ink to create a fun backdrop for this project. I hope you have enjoyed the project I have shared and got some inspiration!  Remember that all STAMPtember excl...

Hello crafty friends! I am happy to share a project featuring the next exclusive STAMPtember collaboration with Dare 2B Artsy Merry Mix and Match stamp set . It's a very cute set.

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a project made with the Charming Flower Stem die and it IS very charming! This die set is part of the super amazing STAMPtember release . The card base is made from smooth white cardstock cut to an A2 size. I then used more white cardstock to create my own plaid background paper using a plaid layering stencil set. I have a video showing this process over on my Instagram page. I then die cut the flowers and stem from white cardstock and used distress in to add color to them. I then added them to a panel I had cut from a postage rectangle die that I splattered using more distress ink and a paint brush. Last, I die cut the sentiment from gold cardstock and adhered it to the card with foam squares. I hope you enjoyed the project I have shared and got some inspiration to create something charming.

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Blog party . Today I am sharing three fall themed projects using goodies from the STAMPtember release . 👇Special promotion exclusive for this post!👇 The first project features the Twisted Tree Arch die set , Haunted Pumpkin die set and the cute Trick or Treat 2 die.

So fun! Last,...
