Sweet Tweets Easter Kit

Hi there! Just popping in to share a project using the new Sweet Tweets Easter Kit by Simon Says Stamp. To begin I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock onto a panel for the background. Using the new Posy die, I stacked three up using the Micro Dot Adhesive Sheets. For the sentiment I used the Sweet Tweets stamp set.

Hi Gorgeous

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a super simple project using some of my hoarded sequins. This year I made a resolution to get my embellishments more organized. I haven’t done a single thing about that yet. Are you surprised? I am, however, trying to be mindful to just USE THEM!

SSS-CZ Hi There Greetings

This was a fun card to make. I stamped that lovely, bold “hi” from CZ Hi There Greetings and then die cut using a nested circle die. I adhered a rainbow of sequins behind the die cut using sequins from several different packs. It was a treasure hunt, for sure, trying to find the right colors and size but worth it.

Can you believe tomorrow is March? February flew by! Hank and I are ready for warmer dog-walking temperatures😊 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Wishes

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun project featuring the Happy Hello and Happy Wishes from the March Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Happy Hello, Happy Wishes

I used the MISTI to stamp the rows of blooms. To get four shades for each bloom I had to get a little creative. For the last bloom in the first row I used Aegean ink and then stamped it again with Pine to get the combination but a little bit darker. Using the MISTI makes is easy to line up perfectly each time. Second row, bottom blooms combines Mandarine & Pucker. Third row, bottom bloom combines Rose & Taffy. Here’s a little reel showing this card.
