New Distress Halloween-Glow Grit Paste!

August 5, 2023

Hi there! Today I have a project to share featuring a couple of the new Distress Halloween products by Tim Holtz. I was so intrigued by the Glow Grit Paste and couldn’t wait to try it.

SSS-Out of This World, Distress Grit Glow Paste

For my project I used the Grit Glow Paste with the Dimensional Stars Stencil on Slate Cardstock. It is INCREDIBLE when it glows!! I spritzed some Twilight Mica Stain on white cardstock and die cut it with a Nested Circle Die to create a sort of large “planet”. The rest of the images and sentiments are from the You are My Universe Set.

Make sure and check out all of these new products over at Simon Says Stamp. Also check out Tim Holtz’s Live demoing these amazing, new products and sharing so much incredible inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Retro Wishes

July 31, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a simple, rainbow shaker card using the Retro Wishes Stamp Set that is included in the August Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

To stamp the rainbow I used Peony, Cantaloupe, Lemonade, Celery & Marine Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I used the coordinating Retro Wishes dies to create a shaker window and filled it with clear sequins. For the sentiment I used the CZ Basic Trio die with Matte Gold cardstock.

Just a Note Blog Hop!

July 28, 2023

SSS-Citrus Slice Background, CZ Just a Note

Both of my projects feature the Citrus Slice Background die. There are so many things you can do with this die to create unique looks. Here I used solid colored cardstock and made rainbow slices for a kaleidoscope of color.

I also used the CZ Just a Note word die for both cards with vellum and matte gold cardstock.

For this card I blended Pawsitively Saturated inks behind the open die cut slices and popped up the panel for a fun, shadow. I embellished both cards with clear sequins.

Here is a video showing how I made the first card.
