Here's what I made with the Magical Christmas Stamp Set:

I was watching Nina-Marie Trapani's video for the TH STAMPtember® release HERE <-----click! and she made a transparent overlay with a laminator sheet and glitter. It reminded me that she'd shown this forever ago and that I'd ordered all the things to do it and then forgot about it LOL (as usual). I pulled out my massive laminator and attempted this for the first time for this card and it WORKED and it was EASY and I now kick myself for not trying it sooner LOL!!

Isn't it fun? So difficult to take pictures of - but I show it in the video of course.

So I stamped the images from the Magical Christmas Set onto Simon's Smooth White card stock with Intense Black Ink and coloured them in with Copic markers and added highlights and whatnot with a white gel pen.

On the inside of the card I added another sentiment from the Magical Christmas set along with a couple of the unicorns and that was it!

Here's the cards I made with the Big Hello Set:

I gold heat embossed the large solid Hello image from the Big Hello set onto Neenah Desert Storm card stock. I then used Simon's Autumn Splendor Stencil over top of it and blended several Distress Oxide Inks over it.

I added splatter with the same Distress Oxide inks, and matted the panel with Simon's Peacock card stock.

I used the Autumn Splendor stencil on the inside of the cards, and stamped another sentiment from the Big Hello Set with Nocturne ink and that was it!

Tim Holtz Stamptember Exclusive Stamp and Masks Set | STAMPtember® 2021 Exclusive

Hello friends!! It's time for another STAMPtember® Limited Edition release!

That's right! Today's collab is with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous!!

You can check out the EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz STAMPtember® 2021 Stamp and Mask Set HERE while supplies last!

As with all the Limited Edition collaboration sets - they're one and done. Once they sell out they are not restocked.

OK here's what I made with the Tim Holtz STAMPtember® 2021 set:

I made 2 5x7" cards - both of them nearly exactly the same - just the backgrounds give different variations as sprays and whatnot have minds of their own of course.

Speaking of sprays:

You can still snag the Distress Holiday bundle HERE <------click! that has the fabulous Mica Spray Stains as well as glitters and holiday texture pastes. The Halloween sets are completely sold out (Ranger said they were limited and are not making more - however I am REALLY hoping they're seasonal and that they'll bring them back next year) but there are still some of these Holiday sets and I used a couple of the Mica Sprays Stains on my cards!

So I created my backgrounds using the moon mask that comes with the Tim Holtz STAMPtember® 2021 set and several Distress Spray Stains and Holiday Mica Spray Stains. Once the backgrounds were dry I stencilled the moon and then heat embossed the images from the stamp set on the background.

On the inside of the card I stamped the trees and swirls with Oxide inks and a sentiment from the set and that was it!

OK here's the card I made:

I was very much inspired by a card Nina-Marie Trapani made HERE earlier this month. I ordered the watercolor paper and the transparent texture paste after watching her video - and both products are a win in my book lol!

I stamped the image from the Be A Sunflower set onto Strathmore watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink then colored them in with my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush.

I blended Simon's Limelicious and Surf inks on the background, and added splatter. I then used Simon's Large Raindrops Stencil and Transparent Gloss Texture Paste. While the paste was still wet I added Simon's Unicorn Glitter and Distress Rock Candy Glitter with Glitter Dusters.

On the inside of the card I stamped the sunflowers with Simon's Fog ink, then stamped another sentiment from the Be A Sunflower set and that was it!

OK on to today's card:

I clear heat embossed the candy image from the Make a Wish set onto Simon's Smooth White card stock and then ink blended several of the new Pawsitively Saturated inks over it with Simon's Blending Brushes. I then turned it into a flat shaker card b/c what says Happy Birthday other than sequins and bling??

I stamped another image from the Make a Wish set and colored it with Copics, die cut it with a Nested Circle wafer die and adhered it to the acetate.

On the inside of the card I stamped another sentiment from the set and added more of the candies I'd heat embossed, blended over and fussy cut and that was it!

So as has been tradition Simon Says Stamp has a big Limited Edition Halloween Kit for STAMPtember® and I have it here to show y'all!!

You can check out the Limited Edition Halloween 2021 Card Kit HERE <-----click!

As with any Limited Edition kits this isn't part of the monthly kit subscriptions - this is a stand-alone separate purchase (with elements that can be purchased separately if you don't want the kit - I'll link to them at the end of this post). Last year's Halloween kit sold out so INSANELY fast and I know Simon's stocked up big time with this one so I hope it lasts for a while!

Here's what I made with it:

This is a 3.5 x 8.5" slimline card

I used the Mummy Wrap Stencil from the kit and applied the Halloween texture paste over it. I then stamped some of the images from the Boo Day set onto Simon's Smooth White card stock with Intense Black ink and colored them with Copic Markers.

I couldn't resist pulling out some googly eyes from my stash and adding them - SO fun.

On the inside of the card I added another sentiment from the Boo Day set along with a few of the images and that was it!

Here's what I made with the Talk Turkey Stamp Set:

I stamped the images from the Talk Turkey set onto Simon's Smooth White card stock with Intense Black ink and colored them in with Copic Markers. They were all fussy cut then popped up onto a die cut from Honey Bee's Stacking Art Deco Labels Wafer Dies.

To create the background I used Honey Bee's Art Deco Patterns Stencil over Neenah Desert Storm card stock and blended Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks over it. LOVE how that turned out!!

On the inside of the card I stamped another sentiment from the Talk Turkey set and then stamped the little leaf image from the set using Distress Oxide inks and that was it!

Spooky Slimline Galaxy Backgrounds | AmyR Halloween 2021 Series #11

Hey friends!!! AHHHH it's been a little bit since I've posted a Halloween card! With all my STAMPtember® posts it's been just a smidge crazy lol.

Now for today's cards:

These are 3.5 x 8.5" Slimline Cards

These were SOOOOO fun to make!!! I created some fun spooky backgrounds using Distress Spray Stains and the Halloween Mica Spray Stains.

*NOTE - like Tim Holtz said when the Halloween Mica Spray Stains were released these are LIMITED EDITION ("seasonal" - so I am hoping they come back next Halloween). Simon Says Stamp got in just a few more of the Halloween Set 1 and Halloween Set 2 and once those sell out they're gone! When the Christmas sets were released (HERE) it makes the Mica Spray stains a rainbow of colors that you can use all year round. The more you know 😉😉

I mixed Black Soot Distress Paint with Texture Paste and applied it over Simon's Layered Bats stencil and the texture and bats over the background and moon was just too perfect.

The "spooky" sentiment was die cut using the CZ Design Spooky Wafer Dies and Simon's Magenta glitter paper. The "salutations" is from the Reverse Spooky Salutations sentiment strips pack.

On the inside of the card I used the Layered Bats stencil again, and also used the stencil over the Slate Grey envelopes. The Happy Halloween sentiment is from the Handlettered Halloween set and that finished off the cards!
