Hey friends! Simon Says Stamp's September card kit is here and I have an unboxing and 2 cards to share with you all!

You can check out the card kit HERE <-------click! as well as at the links in the supplies at the end of the post!

I took one of the patterned papers from the kit and cut it into 2 pieces then embossed them with the Minted Florals embossing folder. I also used some white pigment ink and rubbed the ink pad directly over the raised impressions - it's subtle but it adds just a little something.

The Happy Birthday sentiment from the Let's Celebrate set that's in the kit was gold heat embossed onto some Strathmore watercolor paper. I used my Karin Brushmarker Pro's, a Clear Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer pen and a paintbrush to color in all the letters before fussy cutting out the sentiment and popping it onto the card front with foam squares.

On the insides of the cards I stamped sentiments from the Let's Celebrate stamp set with Simon's Peony and Royal inks and that was it!

Hey friends!! I've got another fun couple of Halloween cards to share with y'all that as the title says - glow in the dark!

First off - if you've missed any of my Halloween posts so far you can find them all at the links below:

Foiled, Flat Shaker & Moveable Halloween Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #8

Halloween Shaker Cards! | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #7

Halloween Cup Shaped Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #6

Non-Halloween Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #5

Easy Textured Glow in the Dark Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #4

Floral Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #3

Halloween Ice Cream Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #2

Shimmer Powder Spiderweb Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #1

OK here are the latest:

I used Simon Says Stamp's Spider Web Background stamp and inked it up with white pigment ink and heat embossed it with Glow in the Dark embossing powder over green card stock.

I then blended several Distress Oxide inks around it and added black splatter 😉.

I ran some vellum through my little Xyron X Sticker Maker and then die cut the ghosts from the Ghouls and Tree wafer die set before sticking them to my background. 

The CZ Design Boo Word and Shadow was cut from the same green card stock and then I coated the word with the white pigment ink and Glow in the Dark embossing powder:

Isn't it fun?

On the insides of the cards I stamped the Spider Web Background with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink (love how it looks like it's glowing on the Smoke card stock). The sentiments stamped on the inside and outside of the cards are from the Too Cute To Spook stamp set. I added one more little vellum ghost to the inside and that was it!

Hey friends! I have another Halloween post with a BUNCH of cards in it. First off, if you've missed any of the previous Halloween posts so far you can find them all here:

Halloween Shaker Cards! | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #7

Halloween Cup Shaped Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #6

Non-Halloween Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #5

Easy Textured Glow in the Dark Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #4

Floral Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #3

Halloween Ice Cream Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #2

Shimmer Powder Spiderweb Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #1

OK here we go:

Aren't they fun? Spellbinders sent me their recent Halloween release and of course I had a blast creating with these dies and hot foil plate. 

I used the new Hypnotic Background Glimmer Hot Foil plate on all these cards. I foiled it onto various card stocks, and even some recycled packaging using Gold Glimmer Foil. I THEN used a Solid Hot Foil plate and the "leftover" foil pieces to foil the reverse image of it (which is the card you see above that's basically solid foil). 

For these first 2 cards I used the new Haunted House wafer die set to create my scenes. I then added sentiments from the Spooky Greetings Glimmer Hot Foil set that I'd foiled onto black card stock.

On the insides of the cards I stamped the sentiment from the coordinating Boo Dance Party Sentiments set with Nocturne ink and added the little stars with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink.

For the next 2 cards I used the Dancin Ghost die set with more sentiments from the Spooky Greetings hot foil set. I show in the video how the legs swing back and forth on the ghosts - SO cute. 

The second card I foiled the Hypnotic Background onto the recycled packaging and attached it to card stock to make a flat shaker card. So it's foiled AND the legs move AND it's a shaker card. LOVE.

My final 2 cards use the Dancin Mummy wafer die set again with the Hypnotic Background, sentiments from the Spooky Greetings set and insides stamped with sentiments from the Boo Dance Party Sentiments set.

OK here's what I made:

I created several backgrounds using the new Layered Candy Corn, Layered Pumpkins and Layered Ghosts stencil sets. I have all the specific ink colors and card stocks used listed and linked in the supplies at the bottom of this post.

I created a shaker using the new Spider Web wafer dies, adding the Boo Script die cut and filling the shaker with a mix of Halloween Party Confetti and Spooky Night Confetti.

For this card I used the previously released Boo Shaker wafer die and filled it with the Spooky Night Confetti.

This card uses the new Cauldron Shaker Die with the Boo Script sentiment and filled with Halloween Party Confetti.

For my last card I didn't create a shaker, instead I stamped some of the ghosts from the new Ghost Friends stamp set onto vellum and embossed them with glow in the dark embossing powder:

And here are all the insides of the cards:

I used all the same stencils and then stamped a sentiment from the Ghost Friends stamp set and that was it!

Halloween Cup Shaped Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #6

Hey friends! I'm back with another fun Halloween card video - if you've missed any of the previous posts so far for this year's Halloween card series you can find them all at the links below:

Non-Halloween Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #5

Easy Textured Glow in the Dark Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #4

Floral Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #3

Halloween Ice Cream Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #2

Shimmer Powder Spiderweb Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #1

So today's cards were really fun to make and are shaped cards:

I used Trinity Stamps Trinitea Cup Card die set and Coffee Mug Card Die set along with Halloween Cup Dress Up die set. Aren't they cute? And best part is these cards fit in standard A2 size envelopes so win win.

After die cutting all the pieces I used Distress Inks and blending brushes (I listed and linked to all the specific colors I used in the supplies below) to add some color and dimension. Black Soot Distress Paint was also liberally splattered as is tradition.

I painted the "faces" and the "potion" on the cups with my Aqua Shimmer Pens in Clear Glitter Gloss and Midas Touch - you can see in the video just how SPARKLY they are!

I stamped the insides of the cards with sentiments from the Trinity Stamps Trick or Drink stamp set and paired the cards with Simon's Black Metallic envelopes and that was it!

Hey friends!

Recently Studio Katia released some new products - you can check out all things Studio Katia HERE <--------click! She sent me the new goodies and I have a card and video to share with y'all using some of it:

I clear heat embossed the new Botanical Hi stamp set after stamping it with Nocturne ink onto some Strathmore watercolor paper. I then used my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a paintbrush to color it all in:

I fussy cut the image and popped it up with foam tape, and the "hi" I added Aqua Shimmer Clear Glitter Gloss to and then covered it with Glossy Accents. The background is from Studio Katia's new Black on White patterned paper pack.

On the inside of the card I stamped the Botanical Hi with Simon's Cheeky ink and then stamped one of the sentiments from the set with Nocturne ink and that was it!

Hey friends!

I'm behind (as per usual) and I just finished uploading my video for last week's Color Throwdown Challenge:

You can check out what the rest of the team created with these colors HERE <-----click! and there's still a bit of time to play along if you'd like!

I was SO inspired by the card Amy Rohl made for this challenge <-----click! I just LOVED it. So I pulled out my Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Coneflower wafer dies and made my version. And I decided to include this with this year's Halloween Card series because why not? If you've missed any of those so far you can find them at the links below:

I added splatter with Black Soot Distress Paint, and painted the Thanks word with my Tonic Midas Touch Aqua Shimmer pen.

Hey friends!

Waffle Flower's August Release just went live:

You can check out all the new products HERE <------click!

I'm part of a blog hop today to share inspiration using the new release - I'll have links to the other stops on the hop further down in the post as well as giveaway info!

OK on to what I made:

I die cut white card stock with the new Fancy Frames wafer dies, and then ink blended some Pawsitively Saturated inks over Waffle Flower's Brick Wall Stencil. I added some splatter of course while I was at it.

The florals are from the new Chrysanthemums stamp set, and I clear heat embossed them after stamping them with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. To color them in I used more PS Inks and blending brushes - SO EASY. I die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.

I die cut more white card stock with the Fancy Frames wafer dies, used the Brick Wall Stencil again and then stamped a sentiment from the Thank You stamp set and that was it!

Easy Ink Blended Seashell Cards with Wax Seals

Affiliate links used throughout this post at no cost to you! Affiliate linking is what enables me to provide content (more info on that in the sidebar of this blog ------> as well as at the end of this post). THANK YOU for all of your support!

Hello friends!

OK the other day I posted a Release & Review video for Honey Bee Stamps most recent release - it's here if you missed it:

Honey Bee Stamps Perfect Day Release & Review | June 22 Release

I made a couple of cards using some of these new products AND I had some fun with the wax melts and one of the wax seals:

I die cut the new Lovely Layers Seashore elements from some Hammermill white card stock, then blended some Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks onto all the pieces before layering them together (all the specific colors I use are listed and linked in the supplies below).

I also ran some white card stock through my die cut machine with the Waves Pierced A2 Cover Plate which added a bunch of texture. I then sprayed those panels with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Spray.

And then gold splatter of course 😉.

I combined colors of wax from both the Marvellous Moments Honeycomb Wax Melts and Vitamin Sea Honey Comb Wax Melts and melted them in my Wax Melting Spoon (see the video below as I show exactly how I did it). I then poured the wax onto a non-stick craft sheet and pressed in the Seashell Wax Stamper. I repeated the process for the second card, then attached them to the cards with Simon's Big Momma foam tape. For the gold effect I used a Spectrum Noir Liquid Gold Metallic Paint marker and just used the chiseled pen over the raised seashell of the wax seal.

I stamped sentiments from the Seashells stamp set with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink and die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies for the outside and inside of the cards. On the insides I stamped some of the shells from the same Seashells set and that was it!

Hey friends!! I have another Halloween card to share with you all!

If you've missed any of my previous Halloween cards so far you can find them all at the links below:

Floral Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #3

Halloween Ice Cream Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #2

Shimmer Powder Spiderweb Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #1

And now for the latest card:

This one glows in the dark!!

I die cut Simon Says Stamp's Friendly Ghosts wafer dies from smooth white card stock then covered them with clear embossing ink and coated them with Glow in the Dark embossing powder. 

To create the background I ink blended Simon's Cantaloupe and Bubblegum Pawsitively Saturated inks over more smooth white card stock. I then ran the panel through my die cut machine with the Cute Ghosts Embossing Folder - and then added Black Soot Distress Paint splatter of course.

I ink blended the Bubblegum ink onto another piece of card stock and die cut that with the Here for the Boos wafer die.

I blended the 2 inks along the bottom of the inside of the card, and then stamped sentiments from the Spook Up Some Fun stamp set with the same colors. I paired the card with a black envelope and that was it!
