Masking & Distress Oxide Blending | STAMPtember Mama Elephant Snow Kittens

ACK Ohmygoodness - I had planned to have this video go up as soon as the Mama Elephant STAMPtember collab went live but life had other plans. As of posting this there are still some of the stamp sets left (the stamp and wafer die set sold out already!) but I also linked to a similar set by Mama Elephant (see below) as it's adorable too!!

If you haven't seen Mama Elephants September release you can check it out HERE <------click! I couldn't resist ordering some of it (yes I wanted it ALL LOL) and can't wait for it to get here!

Also if you haven't bookmarked my post where I've been updating the new and still available STAMPtember collabs you can check that out here:

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Limited Edition Releases!

OK on to my card:

I used the STAMPtember Snow Kittens set and 😍😍😍. Once this one is sold out (and I will be shocked if it doesn't sell out before tonight - it's been INSANELY popular and I can see why) I highly HIGHLY recommend checking out the Mama Elephant Snow Friends set. It's adorable too!

I stamped the images onto Neenah Classic Crest 110lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink. I then masked off all the images and the snow with Eclipse masking tape and blended on 3 different colors of Distress Oxide Ink. I added splatter (of course) and some Studio Katia Iridescent Ice Flakes and Icy Sparkle Crystals.

I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the stack of snow kittens with the same three oxide inks and added a sentiment and that was it!

Easy Watercolor with Mission Gold | Memory Box Stamps

Hey everyone!

So I'm playing catch up with all the things - one of which being the STAMPtember releases. If you haven't bookmarked my post with the pics and links to all the sets currently available you can find that here:

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Limited Edition Releases!

Also last week's Color Throwdown Challenge:

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

Here's what I created:

I've been planning to use this Grateful Autumn stamp set by Memory Box for some time now, and then when I was looking at the colors for this challenge I knew this set was PERFECT for it. I also just got the Fresh Cut Bouquet set that is the Memory Box collaboration set with Simon Says Stamp for STAMPtember. The set and wafer die combo sold out but as of posting this there's still the stamp sets left (tho those will be sold out soon I'm thinking!). I wanted to ink up this gorgeous big floral (ugh I LOOOOVVVEEE big floral stamp sets lol - I'm so redundant with them I know but I can't resist!) and decided to paint them at the same time using all the same colors.

I stamped both images onto Arches cold press watercolor paper with Fallen Leaves VersaFine Clair ink. To color them in I used my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors, and once dry added a bunch of splatter of course. I added some gold splatter with one of the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors, and then to amp up the bling I added some Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystals.

To finish off the insides of the cards I inked up the big images from the Grateful Autumn and Fresh Cut Bouquet sets with a variety of Distress Oxide inks. After stamping them onto the insides of the cards I stamped sentiments from the Grateful Autumn set with the Fallen Leaves ink and that was it!

Watercolor Fall Florals | STAMPtember Exclusive Fall Beauty Stamp Set

Hello everyone!! A BRAND NEW STAMPtember collab was just revealed - this time with Honey Bee Stamps!!

If you haven't bookmarked my post where I've been listing and linking the collabs as they're revealed (and removing any that sell out) you can check that out HERE:

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Limited Edition Releases!

OK on to today's card:

Honey Bee Stamps created this gorgeous Fall Beauty stamp set for STAMPtember. It is only available while supplies last through September 2019. You can get it as a stamp set only or as a stamp set + coordinating wafer die set. Of course I'm all about large floral images so this was right up my alley!

I stamped the large floral image onto Bee Watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink. Usually I use black Nocturne ink to stamp my images, but I really love the look of images stamped in a brown ink. It's just softer in a way IMO.

After stamping it I watercolored it with my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors, let it dry completely then first added brown splatter from the palette. I then mixed up gold with some Perfect Pearls Gold powder and water and splattered that over the images as well.

I used Simon's Deco Weave stencil and dry embossed it onto some Kraft card stock (I'm somewhat obsessed with this stencil lately, and dry embossing with stencils especially). I stamped a matching Kraft envelope with the large floral image using Delicate Golden Glitz ink.

I did the same thing with the inside of the card - stamping the large floral with the Delicata Golden Glitz ink and then I stamped a sentiment with the Fallen Leaves ink and that was it!

3 Cards 1 Stamp Set | STAMPtember Brutus Monroe Exclusive

YAY!!! The package with Simon's EXCLUSIVE STAMPtember collabs showed up - so now I can get cards and videos up to share with y'all!

I've been keeping a post updated with the images and links to the newest STAMPtember releases as well as linking to the ones still available HERE:

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Limited Edition Releases!

You can bookmark that post and keep checking in on it as I will keep updating that throughout the month!

So yesterday the Brutus Monroe STAMPtember collab was revealed - you can get it as just a stamp set or as a stamp and coordinating die set. I had to let my cards dry overnight before I could finish everything and share with y'all:

I stamped the snow globe image from the Autumn Greetings set onto Neenah Classic Crest 110lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink. Since the set had three different scenes included I made 3 cards. I coloured in all the images with a bunch of Copic markers as I wanted to coat all the "globes" with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

On all the cards I used a different stencil and dry embossed it into the card stock. For the Halloween card I used Simon's Candy Corn stencil. With this card after I'd applied the Crystal Glaze I dusted on a bit of Simon's Unicorn Dust Glitter as well.

For the Fall card I used Simon's Deco Weave Stencil, and Vintage Platinum Glitter dusted over the Crystal Glaze.

Finally for the Christmas card I used Simon's Holiday Foliage stencil and Ranger Rock Candy Glitter.

I stamped all the globes and scenes onto the insides of the cards with Simon's Cobblestone ink, and stamped more sentiments with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and that was it!

Honey Bee Stamps Crayon Box Card

It's FRIDAY already?!? We're also nearly halfway through September and I'm wondering how that happened?

LOL anywho - not too long ago I did a Release & Review video on Honey Bee's Autumn Blessings release - if you missed it you can check that out here:

Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Blessings Release & Review! | August 2019

While I'm at it here are links to posts I've done making shaped cards with other Honey Bee Honey Cuts dies:

Darcie's Yeti To Party Coffee Cup Card | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2017

Honey Bee Stamps Watercolor Coffee Cup Cards | Distress Ink Faux Watercolor

So I've made a few shaped cards with Honey Bee's wafer dies LOL!

Here's the latest one:

I used Honey Bee's new Crayon Box Card XL wafer dies to make this adorable card and "crayon box" to hold it.

Technically since this is an XL wafer die set it's too big to fit in a standard die cutting machine however I found that if I put the die through on the right angle (I show in the video) it fit just fine in my Spellbinders Platinum 6.

I used Honey Bee's Double Stitched Polygons wafer dies to cut a label for my crayon box and used a sentiment from the Brilliant Day stamp set to finish off the "COLOR" word from the Crayon Box Card wafer dies.

The die set comes with a crayon panel, and instead of just cutting it as one layer (you could, with the crayons adhered on the front and then add a sentiment to the back of it - quicker and easier!) I created a folded card and then die cut it. I die cut the crayon pieces from various colors of card stock, added the black line with a marker then adhered them to the card.

I finished off the inside of the card with another sentiment from the Brilliant Day stamp set and die cut it with one of the coordinating dies and that was it!

Stencils & Splatters with Paper Smooches and Oxide Sprays | AmyR Halloween 2019 Video #5

So in my most recent haul video I shared the new Studio Katia release - and I couldn't wait to get it inked up/cut out:

I used the new Spooky Pumpkins Trimmings stamp set and stamped one of the images onto Ranger Distress watercolor card stock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and clear heat embossed it. To color everything in I used the Karin Brushmarkers and a detail water brush.

The background was done with Distress Oxide inks, and then I die cut it with one of the new Studio Katia Halloween Trimmings wafer dies. I get asked often what my favourite glitter card stocks are - answer is the Simon Says Stamp Glitter Card Stock and Tonic's Glitter Card Stock. Both are awesome, have a bunch of colors to choose from, don't shed and can be die cut easily.

So, I backed it with Simon's Silver Glitter card stock before adhering to my card base. As a finishing touch to the card front I added some of the Studio Katia Ripe Persimmon Pearls.

To finish off the inside of the card I die cut some white card stock using another of the Halloween Trimmings wafer dies, and then stamped the other Spooky Pumpkin Trimmings images with Tiger Lily ink and that was it!

Dry Embossing with a Stencil | SSS Sketched Flowers Take 3

Happy Monday everyone!!

If you missed the post I've compiled with the current STAMPtember sets available you can check that out here:

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Limited Edition Releases!

Last week's Color Throwdown Challenge was this:

You can check out what the rest of the design team made with these colors HERE <-------click! There's still a little bit of time left to play along if you'd like before the new challenge is up on Wednesday!

So for my card I pulled out Simon's Sketched Flowers set. They released a coordinating die set with the STAMPtember release so I wanted to use that. Plus I hadn't actually coloured in the florals in this set before - my previous videos using it were more technique-based (and both were for previous Color Throwdown Challenges too lol):

Alcohol Lift Ink with SSS Sketched Flowers Stamp Set

Simon Says Stamp Dye Ink Blending | Sketched Flowers Take 2

So here's what I created this time:

I heat embossed the large floral image onto Ranger water-colour paper using Inkon3's Strawberry Champagne embossing powder. To color them in I used the Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush and then die cut everything with the coordinating dies after they'd dried.

To get that gorgeous dry embossed impression I ran the new Deco Weave stencil through my Platinum 6 machine following the instructions to dry emboss with wafer dies. I only needed to add an extra piece of card stock as a shim and got this fabulous texture on the card stock.

For splatter I used a mix of a couple different Gansai Tambi palettes - I mixed a pale gold from the Starry Colors and a pink color from the Pearl Colors palettes to get a close match to the Strawberry Champagne embossing powder.

The sentiments on both the outside and inside of the card are from the Greetings Mix 1 stamp set and were both heat embossed with the Strawberry Champagne embossing powder and that was it!

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Limited Edition Releases!

Hello everyone!

Since I'm still waiting on the package with the STAMPtember collab sets to arrive (EDITED TO ADD: it's here!! I'll still keep updating this post tho but now I can start making videos!) so that I can create cards and videos for y'all - I thought it would be helpful to post all the links to the sets as they become available! It's incredibly difficult to predict which sets will last/how many to stock/etc so some sets sell out INCREDIBLY fast (the GinaK stamps and dies sold out already so I'm not listing those). It's all part of the excitement and crazy fun that is STAMPtember!

ALSO - while you check out the STAMPtember offerings below - make sure you check out Simon's STEALS & DEALS section HERE <--------click! as there have been random products added daily at amazing prices!!

Here's what's new/still available (and I will update this post each day a new set is released and when things sell out so you can keep checking back if that helps!):

There's an awesome Halloween Limited Edition mega kit available <-------click! This isn't a part of the monthly card kits (linked below) as it's a big one and only while supplies last!

Technically not part of STAMPtember - this is the October Card Kit and it's fabulous <------click! I just wanted to share that too!

I'm part of a fun blog hop for the Paper Smooches September release! This is a "sneak peek" post - I'll share my cards and info today and then once the products are LIVE and available I'll update this post with my video and links! 

I made two cards using some of the new Paper Smooches products:

I used the new Best Witches stamp set, Best Witches Icons wafer dies, Face Off stamp set, Pumpkin & Ghost wafer dies, and Buffalo Check Stencil to make my cards.

I had some fun with Hero Arts Reactive Inks to stamp and color these images from the Best Witches stamp set. I also used Sea Salt Reactive ink over the Buffalo Check Stencil on the black card base - LOVE how that turned out!

On both cards I added splatter with some Distress Oxide Sprays - it really just finished them all off. 

With this card I white heat embossed the ghost on vellum (and added "eyelashes" from the set - LOVE that little add on) and then hid the foam adhesive behind the eyes and mouth.

I finished off the insides of both cards with a mix of images and sentiments from both of the new stamp sets and that was it!

Easy Distress Oxide Watercoloring | Waffle Flower Flower Girl

Hello everyone! It's the 5th of the month which means Waffle Flower has a new release!

You can check out the release HERE <-----click! or at my links below!

 

I'm part of a blog hop today sharing ideas using some of the new products - I'll have links to the other stops as well as giveaway info at the end of the post!

Waffle Flower has a new designer starting this month and she created this adorable Flower girl stamp set. I used the set and coordinating wafer dies for my card today - it's SO cute and there are so many little add-on options for it!

I stamped the flower girl image onto Bristol Smooth card stock with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. I then stamped the flowers on her dress with clear embossing ink and heat embossed them with Rangers Lavender Speckle embossing powder. I did the same thing with her wings before adhering them.

The card base was stamped with the new Poppy Hawthorne image with black ink. I also used a thank you sentiment from that set and white heat embossed it onto black card stock before die cutting it with the coordinating wafer die set.

I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the Poppy Hawthorne image again - this time with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink and that was it!

I heat embossed the new Flora Background stamp onto Canson XL water-colour paper - one in white embossing powder and one with gold embossing powder.

On each of the panels I sprinkled Tonic's Nuvo Shimmer powders. On the white heat embossed Flora Background I used Falling Leaves, Green Parade and Atlantis Burst powders. On the gold embossed background I used Catherine Wheel, Solar Flare and Golden Sparkler Shimmer powders.

After the powders were sprinkled on I sprayed the panels HEAVILY with water and then set them aside to dry.

I used the new Large Thank You Swirl wafer die for the cards, running all my card stock through my Creative Station Lite to add adhesive before stacking the die cut layers together.

I finished off the insides of the cards with sentiments from the new All The Thanks stamp set and die combo. After stamping the sentiments in coordinating dye inks on the inside and adding some Studio Katia crystals to the card fronts that was it!

Honey Bee Halloween House Builder | AmyR Halloween 2019 Video #3

Now on to today's card:

I used the new Spooky Silhouette background stamp - stamping it with Simon's Lavender ink onto Lavender card stock. I love the more subtle background effect it created with the tone on tone!

After the background I stamped images from the CZ Design My Zombie Boo stamp set onto Neenah Classic Crest 80lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink. The images were coloured with Copic markers (I forgot to add the colors to the video sorry!! These were the ones I used: YG09, YG07, YG05, BV13, BV02, BV01, W5, W3, W1, W00, Y18, C4, C2, C0) and then die cut with the coordinating wafer die set.

The new CZ Design Boo Word & Shadow wafer die was die cut and layered with white and Apple Green card stocks. To finish off the sentiment I stamped the "hey" and "happy halloween" with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink directly on to the background.

I finished off the inside of the card with another image from the My Zombie Boo stamp set and stamped another sentiment from the set with Apple Green ink and that was it!
