Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for a big ol’ STAMPtember® 2020 Party featuring more of the new STAMPtember® 2020 release.
I have a couple of projects to share using some of my new, favorite background clings. They’re my favorite because my daughter, Bailey, designed them. This first card uses the Lantern Pattern background cling. I embossed it in clear and blended distress inks for color. I couldn’t wait to try the new and gorgeously vibrant Crackling Campfire color! It looks so festive with Mustard Seed and a little Wilted Violet on the bottom.
I used the CZ Batty die & CZ Halloween People for the sentiment. As soon as I saw “Spooky & Kooky” I was like, SOLD! It rhymes. What more can you want for Halloween:)
This next card uses the Hexagon Tile Background. I blended my favorite cool tone trio of distress inks for this one: Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch.
For the sentiment I used the You Matter die and embossed a coorinating sentiment from the Tiny Words Support set. I also added a few of the gorgeous new Holographic Rainbow sequins.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
Make sure and check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for the full list of STAMPtember® 2020 Party participants! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just make another card and use the black… easier said than done but there you go. Listening to your commentary is always a bright moment … love the addition of song 🙂

September 2, 2020 at 5:08 pmFirst of all i love your comments and all your songs as you make your cards. Always brings a laugh or chuckle so thanks for that. i think i like the spooky in black – stands out more. but still a great card either way
barbara lassiter
September 2, 2020 at 5:14 pmMake another card ’cause the black spooky is too good to waste. Love both of these cards and I know you must be “button-popping” proud of your daughter. Thanks for another fun and informative video!
Cheryl Sager
September 2, 2020 at 5:16 pmSuch a talented family! If I asked my family spooky black or orange, I would get the shoulder shrug!! I like the orange with this card, but now you have to make a card using the black cause its just that good!
Rachel
September 2, 2020 at 5:19 pmWOW congrats to your daughter! Her designs were the first to “pop out” to me at release – love the way you used them here too, especially ‘kooky & spooky’ lol

Dayna Audirsch
September 2, 2020 at 6:08 pmLOVE your singing! Keep it up! makes me smile!
I think both black and orange look great, but the orange is better to balance out the black bats!
Thanks for always making such fun videos, and congratulations to your daughters for designing stamps! They are awesome!
Tammy
September 2, 2020 at 6:08 pmThe fall colors are so much fun.
Michele W
September 2, 2020 at 6:10 pmCongrats to your daughter! She did a great job designing these backgrounds. I like the good vibes stamp set your other daughter designed as well. They obviously inherited your talent. 🙂 I think the purple really works for the Halloween card and I like the way the lanterns resemble pumpkins for this card. I also think you made the right choice with the orange sentiment. Too much black on the card with the other one. Thanks for sharing two great cards!
Brenda Kuder
September 2, 2020 at 6:19 pmBeautiful cards!

Btw, I love your musical interludes. I was singing along with you.
Sue Rosa
September 2, 2020 at 9:46 pmLove both cards but the spooky one is really great. Orange was a good choice. I think I’m going to have to get that bat die and maybe both those background stamps.

Cyndi Morris
September 2, 2020 at 10:24 pmYou made the right choice going with the orange “spooky.” It’s perfect! Love both these cards. And kudos to Baily for designing these wonderful background stamps — they’re great! I love their “geometricity” (you’ll find that word in the dictionary just before “jugge”).
Laurie Brown
September 2, 2020 at 10:25 pmWonderful background stamps and card creations!!! Thinking the orange to set off all the other black!!! The good vibes stamp caught my eye too cuz I like the geometric patterns in it too!!!
Pamela Goodrich-Boggs

Patty A Eifert
September 3, 2020 at 12:12 amI love your musical interludes! As far as the spooky? I’m with the guys and thought black looked better! It stilled looked awesome either way! Love your next card with the zushed? silver thread also! Damn…I would have loved that Hope die cut, but already placed an order yesterday. Was afraid to not order asap so that the product wouldn’t have been out of stock today!!
Judy Rutherford
September 3, 2020 at 12:20 amAs always, love your crds. How fun is it that your daughter created these stamps. Know I have to get one but am thinking I may have to get both! lol Of course we both know wanting and needing are two different things, right?

Barbara Martin
September 3, 2020 at 2:42 amWhere do I begin? Fabulous! I hope you’re doing a new card every day. The purple did not look muddy. Black looked better, sorry. The orange just didn’t stand out. I did like your 5 hour nest though. Your jujjing (spell that for me please) always makes your card better. Dimension is life! I’m a fan forever!
Karen Ramsey
September 3, 2020 at 3:15 amWhat a talented family!! You are my absolute favorite and I just LOVE your videos! I liked the orange Spooky and adding the purple was perfect!

Lynn Conlon
September 3, 2020 at 3:46 amI love Halloween but I like mine really dark and scary. However, I have some younger God children who I know would love your Halloween card. I didn’t think I’d like these big backgrounds but with you running the show they turned out to be just the right backgrounds for your cards. Happy Halloween.
