SSS Mod Circle Distress Oxide Cards

Hi everyone,

I'm popping by to share a couple of masculine birthday cards I made using the Simon Says Stamp Mod Circle Frame Die along with Distress Oxide Inks. These inks sure are fun to play with!

I pressed the ink pads directly onto my craft sheet, spritz them with water, and ran some Cream Cardstock through it. I did this multiple times to build up layers, heat setting each layer in between. For the stars on the cards, I ran a piece of the Cream Cardstock through the little bit of ink that was left on my craft sheet for a lighter and more subtle result. Once dry, I ran the first panel through my Big Shot with the Simon Says Stamp Mod Circle Frame Die (and also cut a piece of chocolate-coloured cardstock with the same die). I then pieced the card fronts on notecards made from  Neenah 110 lb White Cardstock. The stars were cut using Simon's Large Holiday Shapes and the sentiment is from Simon's Sweet Cakes Stamps. Finally, I added some sparkle with Tsukineko Large Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz.

Simon Says Stamp Lots of Hearts Card Set

Hi everyone!

I'm stopping by to share a card set I made using lots of Simon Says Stamp heart dies, sentiment dies, and sentiment stamps. Once in a while I get motivated to go through my patterned papers and use some up. Making a card set helps accomplish that, especially when I'm using the patterned papers for the backgrounds. Often, I'll then give these card sets away as hostess or Christmas gifts.


 

  

Unfortunately, I think the patterned papers I used here are no longer available...but any 6x6 pad of patterned papers will work. The rest of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of this post.

Before I go, I just wanted to mention that Simon Says Stamp has a great deal going on HERE.


Thanks for stopping by!
