Happy Mother's Day

Hi everyone!

Just stopping by to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day!

For today's card I used the Concord & 9th Blooms Fill-In Stamp Set along with some Simon Says Stamp Inks to create the background. Altenew's Bold Alphabet Die Set was used to spell out Mom and the letters were adhered to a strip of vellum with foam in between to add some dimension. The tiny Jasmine Garden Flowers and Rainbow Jewel centers are from Little Things by Lucy.

I hope today is special day for you...whether you are celebrating your mom, being celebrated, or remembering your mom.

Much love,
Sarah

SSS Alcohol Ink Hearts

Hi everyone!

Today I'm stopping by to share three cards I made using different Simon Says Stamp heart dies and Alcohol Inks. Each card started with a piece of Neenah White Cardstock die cut with one of Simon's Stitched Square Dies.

For this first card, I die cut Simon's Corbel Heart Die into the stitched square panel and backed it with a piece of Stick It Adhesive. I die cut the same heart from a piece of Yupo Paper covered with Alcohol Inks. I took the little pieces from there and put them into the openings of the white panel. The white heat embossed sentiment is from Simon's Kind Flowers Stamp Set and the Sequins and Jewels are from Little Things From Lucy's Cards. The sentiment was adhered with Darice Adhesive Strips and the square panel has fun foam behind it to add more dimension.

This next card was created with mostly the same supplies. The hearts were diecut using Simon's Clipping Heart Die. For the heart borders I diecut a piece of glitter paper.

My third card features the Simon Says Stamp Heart of Roses Die and, along with Alcohol Ink-covered Yupo Paper, it was also die cut from DCWV Gold Foil Paper and pieced together.

That's it for me today!
Hope you all have a great day!

This was done on a notecard made from Simon's Ivory Cardstock. I added some Pinkfresh Let Your Heart Decide 6x6 Patterned Papers and a few more stickers to finish off the card.

SSS May Card Kit: You & I (& GIVEAWAY)!

Hi everyone,

I'm back to share another card featuring the Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit: Kind Heart!

Here it is:

For today's card I diecut the piece of Pinkfresh Let Your Heart Decide 6x6 patterned paper with the '&' symbol using one of Simon's Stitched Squares Dies. I masked off a couple of the stamps from Simon's new Everything Together Stamp Set so I could ink up just the 'I' and the 'You' with Versafine Onyx Black Ink before stamping the words on the diecut paper. I also stamped the borders and dots from the same stamp set onto one of Simon's Smoke Cards (made from their Smoke Cardstock) using Smoke Ink. I adhered the square panel to the card front with some fun foam underneath to add dimension and finished the card off with some Pinkfresh Let Your Heart Decide Puffy Stickers.

SSS April Card Kit: Monocromatic Cards & GIVEAWAY

Hi everyone!

It was quite the weekend here with a 34 hr power outage. Our whole town was basically shut down: grocery store, post office, everything! Fortunately we have a generator so we didn't lose any food and our house stayed warm. Unfortunately our sump pump wasn't working and more than half our basement was flooded. I spent most of Monday sucking water out of the carpeting downstairs.

With that said, I'm glad to finally be here to share some cards featuring the beautiful Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit: Kind Heart!

Here are three monochromatic cards I created with Simon's May Card Kit:

For these first cards I used the green and yellow ombre patterned papers from the Pinkfresh Let Your Heart Decide 6x6 papers. I diecut them with the rectangle from Simon's Bundle of Stitches Die Set, white heat embossed the floral image and sentiment from Simon's new Take Heart Stamp Set, and added an image each from the Pinkfresh Let Your Heart Decide Puffy Stickers. I adhered the yellow panel to one of Simon's Smoke Scored Cards and the green panel to a notecard made from Simon's Ivory Cardstock.

For this next card I white heart embossed a sentiment from Simon's new Everything Together Stamp Set on a piece of Simon's Audrey Blue Cardstock that was diecut with one of Simon's Stitched Rectangles. I used an ink blending tool to add some of Simon's Spring Rain Hybrid Ink to the bottom of the panel, added some Pinkfresh Let You Heart Decide Puffy Stickers and Epoxy Heart Stickers, and adhered the panel to Simon's Smoke Scored Card.
