Happy STAMPtember®!

September 1, 2018

Happy STAMPtember® everyone!! This is going to be a month long party full of amazing new products, but today we are celebrating the exclusive new STAMPtember® release by Simon Says Stamp.
SSS-Big Picture Book Lion, Kitty & HippoYa’ll know how I feel about the Picture Book dies, right? Well, they’ve made them bigger! They are so adorable and with this size you can do lots of fun things including making cutie patootie shape cards.
SSS-Big Picture Book HippoThis first shape card uses the Big Picture Book Hippo. I used Fog and Smoke cardstock for the face along with Cotton Candy for the inner ears & Black for the eyes.
SSS-Big Picture Book LionAnd this next one is the Big Picture Book Lion. To make the shape card, I traced the outline of each animal onto a white card base and fussy cut them out, being careful to leave a hinge at the top of each one. Then I adhered the solid colored cardstock over top to create the faces.
SSS-Big Picture Book KittyThe last one is my favorite featuring the Big Picture Book Kitty. There’s so much more to see of this fantastic new release. Make sure and check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! I’m back with a couple of fantastic new STAMPtember® exclusives designed by Cathy Zielske. I love, love, love Cathy’s style & especially her humor and her new sets certainly do not disappoint!SSS-CZ Designs-HollaweenThis first project features the Hollaween set. To create the background I used the ghost die from the coordinating Hollaween die set and die cut an entire panel of Fog cardstock repeatedly. Then I played the die cut Fog panel over top of a white card base and stamped the ghost images inside each die cut opening using Simon Says Stamp inks.
SSS-CZ Designs-HollaweenI stamped the “holla” and embossed the other coordinating sentiments and popped everything up with foam tape. To finish it off I added a few Nuvo Jewel drops in coordinating colors.
SSS-CZ Designs-HollaweenNext up is the Coolest Yulest set & the Hos dies. I used the smaller of the Hos dies with the White Glittered cardstock. I stacked up several die cuts for dimension.
SSS-CZ Designs-Coolest YulestI adhered several strips of red & green cardstock together to created a colorful, striped panel to contrast the glittered die cuts and then added an embossed coordinating sentiment from Coolest Yulest. To finish off I added a few Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals.
