Avery Elle / STAMPtember with Simon Says Stamp

I am so thrilled to be sharing in the excitement of STAMPtember with our friends at Simon Says Stamp and Avery Elle!

I think STAMPtember is the most exciting part of the year and I've been counting down the days!! I know so many of you have come to love and collect the exclusive STAMPtember sets, and this year will not disappoint!

Today I am sharing the stamp set created exclusively for this event called Holiday Bells.

The Holiday Bells were stamped and hand trimmed out.  The striped bells actually were stamped with the individual stamps in coordinating colors.  I decided to hang each bell with some jute twine and a tiny bow.

I created this CAS birthday card for a teen birthday using the new Birthday Borders stamp set.  While I did not use the small "fine print" sentiments, I can't wait to use them on another card soon.  They are perfect for some "older" cards!

Simon Says Stamp / Friendly Frolic

Hello!  I am here to share a quick peek at a mini shaped card I made using the School Bus Messages set releasing from Simon Says Stamp as part of their Friendly Frolic release!

There has been quite the discussion at our house the past few weeks about how my daughter will get to school now that she is starting Middle School this fall.  Ride with brother?  Nah.  She wants to ride the bus!!!  Sleep in later if she rides with brother?  Nah.  She wants to ride the bus!!!

So this stamp set and die is PERFECT for our little family right now.  I created a shaped card using the bus die and added a stamped/die cut bus image onto yellow carstock to keep this super simple since it's going to my daughter.  She will get a smile out of this for sure!  The inside reads......first day.  ♥ you.  

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Avery Elle / STAMPtember

Hello!  Did you know STAMPtember®  is still in full swing over at Simon Says Stamp?  This whole month there are new products released and one of the most fun are the collaborations they do with other companies! 

I am excited to share the latest collaboration with Avery Elle and Simon Says Stamp for STAMPtember® !

I started by stamping my mistletoe image, from Merry Mistletoe, to the top of a white cardstock panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Using Copic Markers, I colored my mistletoe and then added Glossy Accents to the berries and let the panel dry.  Once dry, I stamped the sentiment and tiny hearts.  I wanted to add a fun edge to my mistletoe panel so I used the Large Treat Bag Topper Elle-ments for it's decorative edge by only partially diecutting the edge.  I added the trimmed panel with foam adhesive to a strip of green striped paper from The Jewel Collection paper pad from Avery Elle.

CZ Designs / STAMPtember

Hello!  Did you know STAMPtember is now in full swing over at Simon Says Stamp?  This whole month there are new products released and one of the most fun are the collaborations they do with other companies! 

I am so honored to have been sent this FUN "Hollo-Ween" set from CZ Designs and Simon Says Stamp for STAMPtember!  If you do not follow CZ Designs on Instagram, you need to!  You can't help but smile with her IG stories!  

I created a fun background that left my hands very messy but it was fun to see the colors blend together!   Using Blueprint Sketch, Seedless Preserves, Black Soot, Mustard Seed, and Crushed Olive Distress Inks, I blended them together onto a piece of smooth watercolor paper.  They blended beautifully!!!  I then zapped my panel with my heat tool because I was embossing next.  I used an aniti-static powder bag to prep my panel before white heat embossing the ghosts and sentiments.  When I was done, I went back over my ghosts with Black Soot Distress Ink which made them a gray color!  As a last touch, I added some chunky black gems!

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Pretty Pink Posh / STAMPtember

Hello!  Did you know STAMPtember is now in full swing over at Simon Says Stamp?  This whole month there are new products released and one of the most fun are the collaborations they do with other companies! 

I am sharing the collaboration between Pretty Pink Posh and Simon Says Stamp with the new stamp set called Damask Greetings.

I've used ONE image from this stamp set to stamp an entire panel in a light pink pigment ink from Fresh Ink.  To  make this easier, I've used some grid cardstock I've had in my stash for years but Simon Says Stamp now has a background stamp so you can stamp your own!  My sentiment was heat embossed onto a vellum banner from Stitched Labels 1 and sewn on using my sewing machine.

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Concord & 9th / STAMPtember

Hello!  Did you know STAMPtember is now in full swing over at Simon Says Stamp?  This whole month there are new products released and one of the most fun are the collaborations they do with other companies! 

I am sharing the collaboration between Concord & 9th and Simon Says Stamp with the new stamp set called Oh Hello.  

I am in LOVE with this new set from Concord & 9th!  They have fast become one of my favorite stamp companies and they are just awesome people!

Using my beloved Catherine Pooler Inks in Rockin' Red, Orange Twist, Tiara, Lime Rickey, Fiesta Blue, and Pixie Dust, I stamped both of these cards for bold looks!  Shop for Catherine Pooler Inks HERE.  There are several stamps in this set that can be used for different looks and I can't wait to try more like this!  The tiny supporting sentiments are just amazing!

Reverse Confetti / STAMPtember

 

Hello!  Did you know STAMPtember is now in full swing over at Simon Says Stamp?  This whole month there are new products released and one of the most fun are the collaborations they do with other companies! 

I am sharing the collaboration between Reverse Confetti and Simon Says Stamp with the new stamp set called Celebrate Your Day.  

100% of the profits from this stamp set will go to support The Pink Fund.  

The Pink Fund offers financial support to those who need it during Breast Cancer treatments.  This is a cause near and dear to Jen del Muro from Reverse Confetti as she has been in #beastmode with her breast cancer journey!  Love you Jen!

I love bold black and white so I paired it up with one of my favorite Reverse Confetti Colors.....Flamingo.  I've stamped my main image in black and then the word CELEBRATE in Flamingo ink.  My whole image was clear heat embossed over the colors for a shiny fun look.  I added a thin strip of Flamingo cardstock, a stamped/diecut bow from Boxes and Balloons, and some bling.

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Simon Says Stamp / STAMPtember Blog Hop

 

Hello!!!

It's STAMPtember at Simon Says Stamp!  This is such a FUN time of year and Simon Says Stamp has some AMAZING new products that just released!  I am thrilled to help share this event with the STAMPtember blog hop!

I am featuring the Amazing Messages stamp set.  As soon as I got this set, I couldn't help but think of those very popular coloring books out there right now.  So, I went about creating this same look on my card.  

I stamped the FANTASTIC rainbow sentiment multiple times across a trimmed white panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I knew I wanted to leave areas "uncolored" for the look of the coloring books so I purposely only colored the word FANTASTIC in rainbow colors.  I added in some of the small accent stamps in and around the images to fill out the design.  I added this panel to a piece of black cardstock and adhered a white heat embossed sentiment with foam adhesive.  I think this set is perfect for my young teens in the house!  

You can find all of the AMAZING new STAMPtember release HERE!

Simon Says Stamp / Encouraging Words Release

Hello!  I am so excited to help share inspiration using the newest release from Simon Says Stamp called Encouraging Words.  Such a fabulous release so make sure to go do some shopping HERE or by clicking the link on my sidebar!!!

I decided to do some Copic coloring with the adorable images in the Encouraging Animals stamp set.  The only reason I stopped coloring was because I had to leave for vacation!  I paired the bear and "bear hugs" with the Stacked Hearts Die from Simon Says Stamp and layered it over pattern paper from Dots & Stripes Confection 6x6 paper pad.  This whole panel was adhered to a thin black mat of cardstock.  A white heat embossed sentiment on black cardstock was layered behind the bear which was added with foam adhesive.  A few sparkling clear confetti were added as a final touch!

**********************************

My next card uses the same adorable stamp set but also uses the new Kindness Matters Die that is releasing too!  I just love this kitty with glasses!!!

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Stamptember with Avery Elle

Well.......I'm back for another card to share for Simon Says Stamp Stamptember but this time it's using the exclusive Avery Elle set called Christmas Cheer.

Since this set is so elegant with all the intricate snowflakes, I went with a soft look with some white heat embossing and embossing over pigment ink with clear embossing powder.  I used Aquamarine Pigment Ink from Avery Elle to do this!!!  I stamped my snowflake panel onto a very thick vellum cardstock.  My panel was layered onto a notecard that was covered with an Aquamarine chevron pattern paper from Avery Elle.  I added some Sparling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and some Aquamarine Twine from Avery Elle.  

Here's a look at this exclusive set from Simon Says Stamp and Avery Elle---

Thanks so much for sharing a part of your day with me!
