New! Astro Paste

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using some of the fun, new Astro Pastes by Simon Hurley. These are full on glittery with great color! Here I used Tropical Tango & Slippery When Wet. For the background I blended distress inks on Bristol and stamped some images from the Flower Shop Stamp set. I also added a few sprays of Distress Spritz & for the sentiment I used the Fancy Create word die.

Just a Note

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using several dies from the Sunny Vibes Release with Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Exquisite Hummingbird, Iceland PoppiesNested Domed Arches Frames, Beautiful Blooms

First I die cut one of the Nested Domed Arches Frames into Buttercream Cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from Beautiful Blooms in black ink onto a white cardbase. I added the Iceland Poppies & Exquisite Hummingbird, which I die cut out of solid colored cardstock and added a bit of blending for some detail. For the hummingbird I used Sea Glass Cardstock and blended it with Limelicious, Marine & Lilac ink. For the poppies. I die cut one of Guava cardstock and blended with Blush ink. For the other I used Ballet cardstock and blended with Carnation ink.

Sunny Vibes

Hi there! Have you seen the fun, new Sunny Vibes release with Simon Says Stamp? I’m sharing a couple of projects using some of these happy, new products.

My first card features the Repeating Rainbow die. I mean….can you even handle it? I paired it with the CZ Good Vibes die which I die cut out of vellum and holographic cardstock.

You could get so many fun looks by changing up the cardstock colors with this Repeating Rainbow die. I also added a few Mermaid Tail embellishments for some bling.

My next card features the Mini Fab Floral Plate. I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock behind for color and added a matte gold and vellum sentiment using the new You Brighten My Day die.

There are so many different looks you could get with this die, too. I’m thinking back it with acetate and make it a shaker or inlay rainbow petals into each opening. That would take forever, but it would look so cool!

New Distress Spritz!

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using some of the fun, new Distress Spritz colors by Tim Holtz. These are so fun and shimmery. Who doesn’t love shimmer?

I did a very simple project by masking off edges of a panel of Bristol with acetate and spritzing several colors. The colors I used on my project are(working from bottom and them clockwise) Picked Raspberry(my fave), Fossilized Amber, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade and Barn Door. I added a simple die cut sentiment using the CZ Simple Hello die with vellum & matte champagne cardstock.

Hi there and welcome to Day 2 of the Garden Party Collection introductions with The Greetery! Today’s first card features the Sippin’ Summer Set & Summer Silly Straws Dies. How fun is this glass of lemonade with the silly straw that says hello? I added some sub sentiments from Squeeze the Day along with strips of solid colored cardstock along the bottom of the cup for more color.

For the Wisteria die cuts, I used Sprout cardstock for the greenery and Lilac for the blooms.
