Hi there!
Although I've been busy sharing cards on Instagram, it's been quiet on my blog ! Time to do something about that.
Some amazing goodies arrived in the mail from the Simon Says Stamp - To Love release while we were away over the Christmas time, and today I am so happy to share the cards I made since I returned from South-Africa on Monday.
The first card features the Embossing Folder & Cutting Dies : Chickadee-gathering.
I added simple color using distress inks for watercolor smooshing, and stamped a sentiment from the Hibiscus Blooms stamp set using Versafine Black Ink. The birds were cut out using the coordinating dies, and popped up using foam tape.
For the second and third cards I used the Anemone-wreath stamp set. I achieved two completely different looks by water-coloring the first image, and by using an ink blended background for the second card.
I colored the image with my Zig Markers, and used a die cut sentiment called
Boho Celebrate wafer dies, cut from Glitter paper, and popped up using foam tape.
I used Altenew inks to blend the background and partially stamped the image twice using Versafine black ink. I trimmed the upper panel to leave some white space and used a die cut sentiment called Fancy Love You, also cut from glitter paper and popped up using foam tape.
I used rhinestones to embellish all the cards above.
For more amazing inspiration, please visit the Simon-brand-galleries :)
Thanks for popping in today! Wishing you a wonderful 2025 🎉
