SSS April 2017 Card Kit with Spotlighting (& Giveaway)

Hi everyone!

My Simon Says Stamp April 2017 Card Kit: Wild and Colorful arrived yesterday and I had a chance to start playing with it this morning.

Here's what I came up with using this adorable kit:



I did some spotlighting by having all the stamped colour on the Kraft Mini Tag. The cute elephant was stamped on some of the yummy Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 6x6 Paper and paper pieced. For the hearts, I directly inked Neenah Solar White Cardstock with Simon's Fresh Fruit Hybrid Inks. I then stamped the outline hearts over the inked cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, cut them out, and added them to the tag. I colored in 'WILD THING' with a Prismacolor White Colored Pencil and then went over it and the hearts with a Zig Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker.

If you're interested, you can pick up the Simon Says Stamp April 2017 Card Kit: Wild and Colorful for just $29.95 + shipping. If you'd like to receive this kit and future kits for only $24.95 + shipping per month, you can SUBSCRIBE HERE.

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.
