Hello there creative friends! I have a quick and easy card to share with you using some of the latest products from the Simon Says Stamp And Back Again Release. This card was created using just two new products and some watercolors (which you most likely have on hand!).
To create this card, I cut the Piece of My Heart die out of Distress Watercolor Cardstock and painted it with my Daniel Smith watercolors...aiming to keep the warm colors on one side and the cool on the other to create a rainbow effect.
I cut a card panel and Stitched Rectangle Panel and stamped the greeting from the XL Love Greetings onto both of the panels (lining up the stamping in my Misti) then adhering them together with foam tape. I stamped the greeting onto the heart as well and then lined it up the same way.

Hi all and welcome to another week of the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you to all who played along with our Something New Challenge last week and we hope you will join us for this week's Transport It challenge. Right about now I wish I could transport myself across the ocean to Paris...wouldn't that be wonderful?
I used the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Cityscapes stamp on top of an inky background using Distress Inks as watercolor and lots of stamping from some of my favorite sets over the inky background. I added some stamped, cut out labels and stamps along with a small talk sticker to finish the card.

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for last week for our Cold As Ice Challenge and we hope you join us again this week! This week our challenge is Party and this challenge goes for 2 weeks...throughout the holiday season through the New Year so we will be back in 2022! So hope you have time to play along.
I just got a bunch of new Simon Says Stamp dies and really wanted to try out these Streamer Ribbons dies. I cut them from Simon Says Stamp Holographic and Champagne Glitter card stocks and layered them on my card adding some flat and then popping some up with foam dots for interest and dimension over a piece of white card stock cut from the Detail Tapestry Plate. When I cut the holographic card stock, I made sure to cut it from different colorways so I had the entire rainbow on my card. I added the Large Joy word die along with a partial Reverse sentiment Strip for my sentiment and to finish the card, I added some Trinity Stamps Soapy Bubbles sequins. That's it...simple, festive and super fun!

Hi there crafty friends! Happy DIeCember...it's the most wonderful time of the year indeed 🎄 I am thrilled to share a card with you featuring the new Vine Background die.
I used this die to create a simple holiday card by cutting the Vine Background out several times and then inlaying the leaves cut from Simon Says Stamp Glitter Cardstock in Emerald and Pine Glitter. I added a From All of Us Reverse Sentiment Strip and a few red gemstones to complete it. Don't forget to save the leaves you didn't use for a second card 😉 Shop the new release HERE.

Hi there crafty friends! It's time for another month of Get Cracking on Christmas, a super fun challenge that my friend Jenn Shurkus hosts to get you working on your Christmas cards all throughout the year. Christmas stamps, dies and all those other fun products are out and I have added just a few (hundred) things to my holiday collection. This month, I created a card using some products from the Simon Says Stamp Handmade Holiday release including the Rainbow Mini set of Glitz Glitter Gels...these are so fun to play with!
To create this card, I cut a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock using the Wonky Rectangle Dies. Then I placed the Rustic Snowflake stencil over the panel a bit offset and applied the Glitz Glitter Gels in rainbow order and let it dry completely. Once the panel was dry, I added it to an A2 card base with foam tape. To complete this clean and simple card, I added the CZ Design Peace die cut that I cut from vellum and white cardstock. That's it...super simple and a beautiful, glittery result!
If you are looking for more inspiration, Jenn does a You Tube live where she remakes her card each month so everyone can create along, so be sure to follow her www.youtube.com/jennshurkus This month her live will be on Nov 19th at 8pm EST!
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for last week for our Thanks/Thanksgiving Challenge and we hope you will join us again this week. This week our challenge is Trees.
This week I finally used the Simon Says Stamp Leafy Christmas Tree die that was in my stash. I wanted to do something a little bit different with this die, so I cut it out in a palette of purple cardstock: Blue Violet, Lavender, and Royal Purple. I stacked the die cuts, splattered them with Picket Fence Distress paint and then added a Large Joy diecut cut from Champagne Glitter cardstock. I finished the card with some Unicorn Tears gemstones to make it really shine.

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for last week for our any Holiday/Occasion challenge. This week the design team is creating Thanks/Thanksgving cards and I have created a Mini Slimline card with a Simon Says Stamp exclusive set that I have been wanting to use.
I used the Lined Leaves set and stamped and colored a bunch of leaves in with Copics. Then I cut them out with the coordinating dies. I also stamped and cut a sentiment from the XL Greetings 3 set and added them to my panel using foam tape. I trimmed off the overhanging pieces and then added a bit of splatter using a Distress Splatter Brush to apply some Black Soot Distress Paint. Once it was dry, I added the panel to a 3 1/4 x 6 1/4 card.

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Not a Card Challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too. This week we are challenging you to make something inspired by this gorgeous mood board designed by the lovely Zoey.
Once the panel was dry, I added it to a piece of Paper Bag cardstock and adhered the panel to the card using foam tape. I added a Swoopy Thank You die cut to finish my card.

As usual, I have a trio of fun cards for you today. I love to take a product and give it completely different looks, and I hope there is something that appeals to everyone...
For my cards I used the CZ Design Holiday Silhouettes stamps and dies to get three different holiday looks. For the first card, I created a panel of candy cane goodness in pink and red. I stamped a bunch of the candy canes with Festive Berries Distress Oxide and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I used a Quickie glue pen to color the red parts and then added Prisma glitter over the top of the candy canes. I stamped the holly leaves with Twisted Citron distress ink and colored over the berries with a Gelly Roll Moonlight pen.
I added foam tape to all the candy canes and set them aside. I cut a piece of Cotton Candy Cardstock to 3 3/4 x 5 and embossed it using the Crystal Distortion Embossing Folder. I stamped and die cut the sentiment out of the same Cotton Candy Cardstock.
For the second card, I went with my favorite holiday card color combo, rainbow! This time I stamped the trees from the Holiday Silhouettes stamps in all the colors of the rainbow and die cut them out. I created a Mini Slimline card by adding them to a panel that had been stamped with the Hand Lettered Holiday Background.
To complet2 this card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment and added a tiny Idea-ology Mirrored Star.
For the final combo, it's one that you may have seen here before (I made a very similar card with the CZ Design Clean Line Christmas set back in 2019). I always love a blue and gold holiday card, and I couldn't resist making one with this set. I stamped and embossed the trees and sentiments from the Holiday Silhouettes in gold and added them to a Soft Navy Cardstock background.
We can’t wait to see what you’ve created!! 😍 Be sure to stop at all the hops on the stop for tons more inspiration using the brand new Peace on Earth release. All supplies are linked below. I would love if you shopped through the links (it helps me out just a tiny bit with no additional cost to you :)). Thanks!
