I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube.

Usually I'm not a big fan of Mondays - BUT when TWO card kits are delivered to me on a Monday morning I think that's a pretty fab way to start the week. Here's the first unboxing of the first kit which is Simon's Limited Edition Valentines 2020 Card Kit!
So like I mention in the video - this is a Limited Edition kit, it's NOT part of Simon's monthly kit subscription. I do have links to this kit as well as everything that is available individually, and I remembered to link to the other colors available in the DecoFoil Metallix Gels. Have any of you tried these before? I've been curious about them for some time now - they have the most interesting texture to them!
OK here are the links and I will literally be back in a little bit with the next unboxing video lol!

Hey everyone!! I'm back! It's been a crazy few weeks and I finally am feeling a lot better.
I'm still making "Valentine" cards - if you've been following this years series (I'll have links to all the previous ones at the end of this post!) y'all know I use the term "Valentine" loosely. I don't need much/if any Valentine cards but I LOVE making them. So I make them more open-ended - they can be generic love, thank you, friendship etc etc. That way I can use them for anyone.
I had a bunch of fun with ink smushing using Distress Inks and Distress Oxide inks on my non-stick craft sheet and Distress Watercolor paper. After I made the background and it was completely dry I die cut it with MFT's Lots of Hearts Cover Up Die-namics.
To finish off the inside of the card I pulled out the solid heart stamp from the Cute Conversation set. I inked it up with the same Oxide Inks I used on the front of the card and stamped them onto the inside of the card. I then added another sentiment from the Smitten With You set and that was it!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:

Hello everyone!! So today's post is part of a blog hop that is celebrating TWO Simon Says Stamp releases. And to celebrate said hops I have a coupon code for y'all as well! I also have a GIVEAWAY at the end of this post!
While supplies last (or until 1/12 at 11:59pm EST) get the Friend Outline Die FREE with a purchase of $50 or more at Simon Says Stamp using the code BFF489

So - today is Day 2 of hops for these releases. If you missed Day 1 you can find that HERE. I'll have links to all the stops lower down in this post as well!
I used the You are Loved and You are Loved wafer dies (lol not a typo - there's 2 versions of these phrases in different fonts - it's kind of nice to have a choice!) on the cards. The new Love You sequin mix was added for some extra bling.

Hello everyone!! So I haven't posted much the last week - I've been fighting bronchitis and this past week has been the worst of it. However I've been on meds and doc-ordered rest and sloooowwwwllllyyyy working to get "caught up" (which never seems to happen with me lol).
However - I have new releases sitting here and anyone who knows me knows I just have a need to post my Release & Review videos before diving in and creating things. I have the MFT one for now, I'll have Honey Bee's coming ASAP and Simon Says Stamp had a new release that I'm waiting to show up! Woot!

I'm part of a blog hop to share inspiration for the release - I'll have links to all the stops on the hop further down in the post plus GIVEAWAY info at the end!
I couldn't help myself lol! I LOOOOVVVEEE black, gold and white together! I used the new Waffle Flower Blossoms stamp set (y'all know I love me some large floral stamps!), and since the floral cluster is so big it seemed PERFECT for this combo - AND lent itself to 2 cards easily.
I stamped the large floral stamp onto white card stock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, and gold heat embossed it onto the black card stock. On both cards I used the new Oversized Love wafer die - die cutting it from white glitter card and gold glitter card and stacking each with a couple of layers of card stock.
I stamped the large Blossoms image onto the inside of both cards with Delicata Golden Glitz ink and then stamped in black and heat embossed in gold one of the sentiments from the Blossoms set and that was it!

Now for my giveaway!
I destash quite often - and would rather pass on stamps/dies/etc on to those that can give the items some love! Some of this is destashed (aka products sent to me that aren't my style or that I just won't get around to using) and some I purchased for this giveaway. All in there's about $150+ US worth of stamps and dies here that will go to one of you!
To enter all you need to do is leave a comment here on this post telling me where you're from and how long you've been visiting my blog/YouTube channel (and if you're new that's great too!). The comments will close at 11pm Central time January 5 at which time a random winner will be chosen and e-mailed. This giveaway is open to everyone!
**CONGRATS to Carmen L! Thank you all for your sweet comments - and if you're reading this stay tuned as I have more giveaways coming!

Thank you all SO much for stopping by! Here is the list of all the stops on this hop:
And stay tuned as I have a fun giveaway coming later on tonight!
For now - here's 2 more cards for my 2020 Valentine Series:
I used Simon's new Pawsome Love stamp set and wafer die combo for these cards. The images in this set are SO cute and I love how you can use them and some of the sentiments for "non-specific" Valentine cards.
I finished off the insides of the cards by stamping the characters from the Pawsome Love set with Broken China Distress Oxide ink. I added some more of the patterned paper and the "Luv You" sentiment from the set and that was it!

Hello everyone!! It is CRAZY to think that we're almost at 2020!! Stay tuned as I have more videos coming after this one!! I wanted to get this posted tho as I had planned to have it go up at the release earlier this month but December has been just a tad chaotic:
What caught your eye (or what did you already get?) from this release? I seriously love the Birdie Brown Magical Friends stamps and coordinating dies but the Zippy Zebras still just crack me up lol! Of course I also love the Rose Garden set (y'all know my soft spot for anything large floral stamp...) I am at a loss as to what to ink up first...
