SSS 45th Anniversary Card & June Card Kit Winner

Hi everyone!

I'm stopping by to share an oversized card I made for my inlaws to celebrate their 45th anniversary and to announce the winner of the Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit: Leafy Frames

My husband is the oldest of 8 and with spouses and kids there were about 30 names going into this card, hence the size. ;) Since the card was traveling across North America and Europe to gather signatures I decided not to add any embellishments. 


I stamped the large floral image from Simon's Sketched Flowers Stamp Set on Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock with Simon's White Pigment Ink. Once dry, I coloured it in with Prismacolor Pencils in my inlaws wedding colours (sapphire also happens to be the colour for 45th anniversaries)! The sentiment is from Simon's Congratulations Stamp Set and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink before being heat embossed with Simon's Clear Embossing Powder. Finally, I added the stamped panel to an oversized notecard made from Neenah 110 LB White Cardstock (sorry, I don't remember the finished size).

I like the way you used the paper flowers on this card, Sarah! I would never have thought to use a bunch of them on a card.

SSS June Card Kit: Sending Birthday Joy

Hi everyone!

I'm popping by to share a final card featuring the lovely Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit: Leafy Frames.




I really wanted to showcase the Kaisercraft Coconut Mini Paper Blooms on this card so I paired it with some of the Carta Bella Botanical Garden 6x6 Paper and a sentiment from Simon's Leafy Frames Stamp Set. I added some of the Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter to the 'handle' of the bouquet and also the tips of the flowers (which is hard to see in the picture).

SSS June 2019 Card Kit: 3 Card Set & GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone!

I'm back today to share a set of cards I made featuring the Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit: Leafy Frames.


For these cards I made my bases with Simon's Green Leaf, Neenah Desert Storm, and Simon's Cotton Candy Cardstocks. About midway up each card I stamped the floral border from the Leafy Frames Stamp Set with VersaMark Ink. I added coordinating pieces of Carta Bella Botanical Garden 6x6 Patterned Paper to the bottoms and strips of solid paper between them and the stamping. Next I added one of the Carta Bella Botanical Garden Frames and Tags to each card and finished them off with dots of Gina K Connect Glue covered with Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter.

SSS June Card Kit: Beautiful Life & Giveaway!

Hi everyone!

Today is reveal day for the Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit: Leafy Frames and it's a beauty! Here it is (all components are shown at the beginning of my supply list):


Here's the card I'm sharing today:


I made a notecard with some of the Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock and stamped the floral frame from Simon's Leafy Frames Stamp Set on it with their White Pigment Ink. Once dry I coloured it in with Prismacolor Coloured Pencils. I then adhered one of the Carta Bella Botanical Garden Frames and Tags which fit inside the stamped frame perfectly. Finally, I added some dots of Gina K Connect Glue and covered them with Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter to make my own subtle embellishments.

SSS Sweet Friendship Blossoms

Hi everyone,

I'm popping by to share a card made using the gorgeous Simon Says Stamp Blossoming Stamp Set.
This stunning tree stamp really doesn't need any help to shine. I stamped it on some Neenah Solar White Cardstock, coloured the entire panel (including the background) with Copic Markers, and added some Sherbet Shimmer Nuvo drop to the flower centers. The white heat embossed sentiment is from Simon's Tiny Words Faith Stamp Set. All of the supplies used are linked to at the end of this post.
