simon says stamp monday challenge: stamp it (STAMPtember®)

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the  challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Stamp It. We would like you to use actual clear, cling, wood stamps, no digi images allowed this week.

As you know STAMPtember® is a very special month in the Simon Says Stamp calendar. This week we are all using some fabulous products from the latest Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Release. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

This week I have a nice and simple card for you that I still think is beautiful for fall. I embossed a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock using the brand new STAMPtember® Leaf Tumble Embossing Folder.  Then I ink blended Distress Inks over the surface. I used Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo, Aged Mahogany and Abandoned Coral. I added a few leaves that I cut with the Windswept Leaves dies and then added a Fancy Thanks as a sentiment. I finished my card with a few Trinity Stamps Unicorn Tears Embellishments for a bit of sparkle. 

I did not use stamps on the outside but I was sure to stamp a special greeting on the inside of my card to thank a good friend using the Friend Greetings set and Cayenne ink from Concord & 9th

See full supply list at the bottom of this post :)  And a bunch of other new products from the STAMPtember® release too for your inspiration!

simon says stamp monday challenge: architecture/buildings

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the  challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Architecture/Buildings and I have created a fun card using the buildings and clouds from the Christmas Cutouts dies. I cut all of the pieces out of Distress Watercolor Cardstock and lightly ink blended the buildings in a rainbow of Distress Inks and also added a little color to the clouds. I stamped the sentiment from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Life Quotes stamps in Black Soot Distress Archival Ink, then arranged all of my pieces around it, popping up some of the houses and clouds with foam adhesive. Once the panel was created, I added foam adhesive to the back of it and adhered it to a card base.

simon says stamp: out of this world blog hop (day 1)

Hello there crafty friends! I am thrilled to be joining Simon Says Stamp today in a blog hop to celebrate their new Out of This World release. Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to EVERY stop on the hop from each comment section, so be sure to hop around, look at all the inspiration from this awesome new release and leave a comment for your chance to win!

Before I share my card with you today, I want to point out the special code (GALAXY) in the graphic above that will give you a FREE set of Tim Holtz Distress Crayons FREE with any purchase (while supplies last). Just follow the three steps above to add them to your cart - good until 6/25 at 11:59 pm EDT.

Today I have 2! fun cards made from one panel using the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer die for two totally different looks. I added some Distress Inks to Distress Watercolor Cardstock by building layers, adding some Distress Ink layers and drying the panel each time and adding more layers. I added some Gilded Foundry Wax splatter and white splatter to the panel then cut it out to leave me with all of those beautiful butterflies and the outline part of the panel. I explain each one in a little more detail below. 

For my first card, I used the butterfiles cut out from the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer Die and adhered them to the card with foam squares. They have so much color, texture and splatter that they really stand out this way. To keep the card simple, I cut the CZ Design Love You die from Vellum and Matte Gold Cardstocks. This is a super simple and easy way to use up some of those inky experiment panels you may have lying around! 




For the second card, I used the outline of the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer die that I cut from the same paper and backed it with some black cardstock to make it pop. It was missing something so I used a gold gel pen to outline the inside of the butterfly shapes, adding it on extra thick. To finish the card, I added the CZ Design Here for You die cut from black and matte gold cardstocks. 




I hope you enjoyed these cards! There is so much inspiration to be shared today and remember you have a chance to win a $25 coupon simply for leaving a comment -- so be sure to hop around. Thanks for stopping by today!
