Rain or Shine !

 Hi there!

Thank you so much for being here ! I am so glad you popped in to take a look at three cute - yes I made some cute cards - not something I often do, but I really fell in love with the the sweet characters from the Rain or Shine stamp set from the new Simon Says Stamp release, with the same name... Rain or Shine!

I used my Silhouette cameo to cut out the images, but of course you can use the coordinating dies if you have them available, alternatively you can fussy cut them! I used my Zig Markers to water color the images and to create the simple backgrounds. The images were popped up with  foam tape, and I used rhinestones to embellish my cards.

Clean, simple and sweet ! I hope you love these as much as I do 😊

Remember to visit the Simon gallery for amazing inspiration and search for #SSSRainOrShine and #SimonSaysStamp on social media.

Wishing you a day filled with sunshine!

Simon Says : To Love !

 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.

Thanks for popping in today! Wishing you a wonderful 2025 🎉
