OK on to the card I made with the November 2021 Card Kit:

I used the Berries & Leaves Stencil on the Neenah Desert Storm card stock and blended Rustic Wilderness and Festive Berries Distress Oxide inks over it with blending brushes.

I stamped a couple of the images from the Cozy Wishes stamp set onto the Cream card stock and colored them in with Copic markers. I heat embossed the sentiments with Simon's Cream embossing powder. Once things were in place I added a bunch of splatter.

I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the post box image with Simon's Cobblestone ink and stamped another sentiment from the Cozy Wishes set and that was it!

OK on to today's cards:

I used several Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous sets for these - specifically Rest In Peace, Moth Study, Bold Frights and Snarky Cat Halloween.

I stamped the skull from the Rest In Peace set with Distress Black Soot Archival ink, blended some Distress Inks over it and then trimmed it out with scissors. I stamped the background with the same ink using some of the sentiment stamps from the Rest In Peace set.

I stamped a bunch of the moth images from the Moth Study set with the Black Soot Distress Archival ink and blended a rainbow of Distress Inks over them. I then added Tonic's Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss over them - in the video I show just how sparkly they are 😉.

The sentiment is from the Snarky Cat Halloween set and I white heat embossed it onto black card stock.

On the inside of the cards I stamped the skull from the Rest In Peace set with Simon's Fog ink, then stamped a sentiment from the Bold Frights set with Simon's Smoke ink and that was it!

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!

SSS August Card Kit Toadally Unforgettable Unboxing | EASY Mini Slimline Flat Shaker!

Hey everyone! So my August card kit from Simon Says Stamp showed up just the other day (I get them early as I'm on the SSS Design Team - they still sometimes take a little longer to get to me in Canada but still earlier than customers to give me a chance to make things for inspiration), so I have an unboxing plus card project to share with y'all using the Toadally Unfrogettable card kit:

This is a 3.25 x 6.25" Mini Slimline Card.

Of course I created a flat shaker card - was there any other option? (OK there were tons as there's a lot of fun stuff in this kit but flat shakers have been my obsession of late lol).

I stamped some of the images from the Toadally Unfrogettable set onto the Neenah card stock that came in the kit with Simon's Intense Black ink then coloured them in with Copic markers.

I created the shaker using the packaging the patterned papers came in in the kit, and filled it with the Lily Pad Leap shaker elements (also from the kit) and added some Studio Katia confetti glitter and Studio Katia Chunky Glitter (b/c those are LIFE for flat shaker cards IMO!).

On the inside of the card I stamped more sentiments from the stamp set along with the little heart image that's in the set and that was it!

Shimmer Watercolor with Distress Ink Refills | SSS Wildflowers Stamp Set Take 6

Hello friends!!

So I've been posting a BUNCH of videos lately using Distress Ink re-inkers - and of course I've got another one for y'all:

This is a 3.25 x 6.25" mini slimline card.

I added some Perfect Pearls powder to my Distress Reinker palette to add some shimmer, then watercolored a background using them. Once it was dry I used Simon's Wildflowers stamp set and heat embossed the silhouette image using Tonic's Glitter Noir embossing powder.

I used the 'thanks' wafer die from Simon's Script Trio wafer die set and added a top layer die cut from Simon's Holographic card stock. I die cut the Flickering Butterflies from some of Lawn Fawn's Pearlescent vellum and added those as well.

On the inside of the card I inked up the Wildflowers image using several Distress Oxide inks and sponge daubers. I added a couple more of the Flickering Butterflies, and a sentiment strip from the Reverse Gratitude Sentiment Strip pack and that was it!

Multiple Distress Spray Stain Backgrounds + 12 Finished Cards!

Hello everyone! Today is Waffle Flowers May release and I'm part of a blog hop to share inspiration with some of the new products!

First off - I LOVE (LOOOVVVEE!!!) this release. I used as many of the new products as I possibly could lol. So many fabulous things:

Second, since this is part of a hop I will have links to the other stops lower down in the post AND there's giveaway info at the end as well!

So I made a BUNCH of cards. I started off making a bunch of backgrounds using 3 colors of Distress Spray Stain and then combined those backgrounds with the new Waffle Flower products:

I used the new Butterfly Background Stencil on these cards (and on the insides of all the cards), by spraying over the stencil onto one background and then flipping over the stencil onto a second background.

Sentiments are from the Thank You stamp set and coordinating wafer dies.

For these cards I used the Flying Butterflies wafer die that I topped with some of Tonic's Gold Satin Pearl card stock. The sentiments are from the Label Maker Sentiments stamp and die set.

For these cards I used the Thank You set and the inner pieces of the butterflies from the Flying Butterflies wafer dies.

Outline Butterflies Panel wafer die, Thank You stamp and die set.

Circle Butterfly Shaker wafer die, Label Maker Sentiments stamp and die set.

I used the Butterfly Background Stencil with some GinaK Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel over a couple of the backgrounds, let it dry then added the sentiments from the Thank You set.

Oxide Spray Diecuts + Stencil Background Take 3

Hey friends! It's the end of March already?!?! This month just FLEW by it seems.

Anywho - back to my splattery, Oxide Spray etc fun with die cuts. I've done SEVERAL videos using them lately - if you missed the first two of this "mini series" (who knows it may grow into a big series - I really am enjoying the process) you can find them here:

Oxide Spray Diecuts + Stencil Background

Oxide Spray Diecuts + Stencil Background Take 2

And then there's several other posts and videos I've done using sprays:

Oxide Spray Rainbows | Trinity Stamps Slimline Rainbow Builder

Oxide Spray Backgrounds with Piercing Details

Die Cut Leaves with Distress Spray Stains

Distress Oxide Spray Diecuts | AmyR 2021 Easter Card Series #1

Playing with Distress Oxide Sprays & Inks | AmyR 2021 Valentine's Card Series #17

OK onto today's card:

I die cut Simon Says Stamp's Bear Hugs wafer die from Canson XL watercolor paper and then I used Walnut Stain and Antique Linen Distress Oxide Sprays to color them. In the close up photo you can see how I added some gloss to their eyes and noses - I used my Sakura Black Glaze Gelly Roll pen for that.

On the background I used my still-favourite Spring Boho Circle Stencil with Crackle Paste, then made an inky, splattery mess using Speckled Egg, Worn Lipstick, Antique Linen and Picket Fence Sprays.

I did the same with the Etched Laurel Leaves die cuts - using Speckled Egg and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Sprays.

On the inside of the card I used the Spring Boho Circle Stencil and some Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. All the sentiments are from the Sassy Mama Sentiment Strips Pack. I applies Speckled Egg Distress Ink directly to them and then added a bit of the Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Spray and that was it!

Mama Elephant Milkshake Card

Woohoo!! First off - MYSTERY sale!! Shop Simon Says Stamp <-------click! and get 20% off over 35 different mystery brands (y'all can post in the comments which brands you've found the code works on - sharing is caring 😉) with the code LUCKY777

Now for my card. I bought the Mama Elephant Milkshake set when it came out (I am an avid collector of Mama Elephant stamps and dies lol - I just love them) and finally got a chance to make something with this UBERcute set:

I stamped the images onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and then coloured them in with Copic markers and added highlights with my favorite white gel pen.

On the background I ink blended 3 different dye inks (specific colors linked in the supplies below) with blending brushes and splattered with those same inks. I was very much going for a Neapolitan ice cream look here (one of my fave kinds of ice cream - strawberry, chocolate and vanilla all in one - yes please).

On the inside of the card I stamped one of the sentiments from the Milkshake set and added a few of the images and that was it!

Hello everyone!

Today's card uses some oldie-but-goodie stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn that I had bought ages ago. I have collected Lawn Fawn everything for years lol - and it's nice to pull some out and actually use it 😉:

I used the Meow You Doin' stamp and die set as the main focus of the card. I stamped the images onto Neenah Solar White 80lb card stock with Simon Says Stamp's Intense Black ink and coloured them in with Copics. I used some of the same Copics to color a portion of the card stock that I die cut with number dies from the CZ Design Everett Numbers set.

I die cut some aqua card stock with one of Lawn Fawn's Fancy Folded Banners wafer dies and stamped a sentiment from the Meow You Doin' Set onto it before using some of the Copics to darken the edges.

I finished off the inside of the card with images and sentiments from the Meow You Doin' set and that was it!
