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! Enjoy the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember freebie!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you again here real soon.

Hero Arts Holiday 2023 Catalog Release Blog Hop

August 24, 2023

Welcome to the Hero Arts Holiday 2023 Catalog Release Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. It’s time to get ready for the holiday season. I love making cards for family and friends during the holiday season. So let’s get started.

I’m sharing cards I made using several products from the catalog. My first card is using the Hero Arts Style Moderne Bold Print. I’m absolutely in LOVE with this bold print. The style of the print is so unique and can be used for any season of the year. Keeping this card with a simple color palette really made the design stand out. Only a sentiment from the Hero Arts Holiday Season Messages and a few black enamel dots and this card was complete.

For my next card golden snowflakes on Hero Arts Nautical cardstock was the way to go. The new Hero Arts Three Snowflakes Hot Foil Plate looks so rich with a darker background. It really makes a holiday card look elevated. To make the snowflakes stand out even more, I darkened the edges of my cardstock with Hero Arts Nautical ink.

And for my last card, we have an adorable little elf. The Hero Arts Peeking Elf Fancy Die really does make a sweet and fun card. I have him peeking out from a present I made. Isn’t he just too cute. All the Peeking Fancy Dies from the catalog are perfect for cards, tags and so much more. By using a newish color palette for my holiday card made this card special. The Hero Arts Cranberry, Arctic and Pine cardstock work well together when creating holiday cards.

We’ll be giving away two $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left along the hop. Comment on all the blogs for more chances to win! You have until Thursday, August 31 at 11:59pm to enter. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.
