STAMPtember Exclusive: Holiday Bells

Hello friends, 

I am thrilled to share that Avery Elle's contribution to Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember party is available now! Holiday Bells is a jaunty, sassy holiday set, and I absolutely adore it. The clear stamp set is available for purchase now exclusively at Simon Says Stamp. 

I had the most fun designing and creating this festive scene, my first card of the holiday season!

I stamped the bell outlines with black hybrid ink and colored the images with Copic Markers. On the orange and aqua bels, I stamped the bell patterns on top of the colored image using a coordinating ink color. I used a Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the bells and the bows that I stamped with black ink. 

On a panel of Distress Water Color card stock, I blended some Distress ink in Mowed Lawn and stamped the pine boughs on top with a few different shades of green ink. I stamped the sentiment onto the panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I used a tape runner to adhere the bells to the card and Avery Elle's Liquid Adhesive to glue the tiny bows to the top of the bells. I added a few highlights to the bells with a white gel pen and some clear flat sequins as a finishing touch. 

Here's a peek at the Holiday Bells stamp set available NOW at Simon Say Stamp while supplies last. 

Thanks for stopping by and celebrating with me today!

STAMPtember Avery Elle Exclusive

Hello friends, 

I am so excited to introduce you to the newest stamp in Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember celebration.  A collaboration with Avery Elle called Christmas Cheer and I made a couple samples to share with you today. 

For my first card, I paired the stamp set with bright watercolor pigments from Gansai Tambi. After allowing the panel to dry, I stamped and heat embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder and stamped a few of the snowflakes again using regular dye ink to add a little depth and dimension. 

I die cut the panel with Avery Elle's Wonky Stitches Ellements die and adhered it to a bright pink note card. 

For my second card, I went more muted in shades of mint and silver.  I die cut this panel using the Finished Frames Ellements die.

I love how you can get a different look just by swapping out the watercolor colors! I used Versafine Black to stamp the sentiments on both cards.  The sentiments that Jamie designed for the set are just beautiful too and suitable for many types of holiday celebrations.

You can pick up the stamp set here and there is also a version with coordinating dies available here.  For all the details and even more inspiration, please check out the Simon Says Stamp blog.

Thanks for stopping by!

That's how we roll {Stamptember}

Hello friends, 

I am so excited today to be sharing with you Waffle Flower Craft's contribution to Simon Says Stamp's month-long Stamptember celebration.  Everyone, meet How We Roll!  This set is super cute and fun, and I have two simple card ideas to share with you today. 

First up, a sweet thank you card in yummy shades of butter yellow and peachy coral.  I did some simple masking on the card to layer the images, but a coordinating die is also available.  For all the two-step stamping fans, the set includes several candy filler patterns like these darling polka dots.  I love how Nina designed the filler stamp allowing for space around the stamp and the outline- it's so whimsical and sends pressure and precision packing, making room for stamping fun!

With Halloween around the corner, I decided to make another card in spooky shades of purples, yellow, and orange.  I also added the cutie face to a few of the solid candies.  I stamped the sentiment in black and added a couple black enamel dots for a little added embellishment. 

Be sure to stop by the Simon Says Stamp blog for even more inspiration and ideas using the How We Roll stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
