Simon Says Stamp STAMPTEMBER

September 2, 2023

Hey everyone. I’m so EXCITED to be joining Simon Says Stamp Stamptember. I had the absolute pleasure of working with the new CZ Designs Enjoy Phrases stamp set. With my birthday card stash being every low, this was the perfect chance to replenish those cards

Each of these cards were made with the CZ Designs Enjoy Phrases and the Simon Says Stamp Stepped Back Blocks stencil. I used all Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks in happy and fun color combinations. For the first card I used shades of yellow, greens and blues.

My next card was all about monochromatic shades of blue. Have you seen this trend on my IG the past few posts. I just loving a great monochromatic look. Oh with a pop of gold…stunning!

This one here is screaming sunner vibes as we leave this season behind us. And I added just a touch of bling to this one!

Let’s talk shopping. The release is sooo GOOD! and I think you for helping me craft my happiness by using my affiliate links. There is no cost to use them however they do help me out with crafting goodies you see here and in my tutorials. Also Simon Says Stamp is giving you a free gift with purchase!

Stay Golden Layering Stencil

August 22, 2023

Hey everyone. Hope you are having a great day. Today I have a card using the Stay Golden Color Layering Stencil from the Hero Arts August 2023 release. This card really does have my heart. Using a stamp and coordinating stencil makes a great card. However, when you only use the stencil, the card becomes super soft and pretty.

The Stay Golden layering stencil really makes it easy to bring your flowers to life. The colors on this card work perfectly for layering the colors. Using light and dark variation of pinks and greens allow me to really build up the layers and gives me a beautiful result.

By letting the gorgeous colorful flowers be the star, a quick happy birthday across the card with this panel matted on black completes the look.

Making sure not to add anything to distract from the card, I used a few white pearls on my card for added dimension. Swooning over this card for sure. If you create this card, let me know what color combination you would use. Make sure to grab your Stay Golden Color Layering Stencil today. I will see you back here soon. Have a great day.
