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).

Today's post is part of day 1 of 2 days of blog hops to share tons of inspiration using this new release. I'll have links to the other stops lower in my post as well as GIVEAWAY info at the end!
So after seeing all the star etc themed products in the Make Magic release I was immediately thinking of galaxy backgrounds. AND since Tim Holtz just released the new Prize Ribbon Distress ink color and how well that would go with the new Magical sequins pack it was all just meant to be IMO!
I then used one of Tonic's A2 shaker pockets and placed it on top of everything (with my past flat shakers I adhered the die cuts and whatnot to the outside of the shaker - this time I wanted to put it all on the inside and see how that looked). I filled it with the new Magical Sequins mix as well as some Studio Katia Chunky Stars glitter.
On the insides of the cards I stamped sentiments and stars from the Magical to Me stamp set, and then added a few more of the silver die cut Magic Stars and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:

Hey everyone! I'm back with another flat shaker card - if you've missed any of my posts with this recent obsession you can find them all at the links below:
The background was done with Simon's Waves slimline stencil and various Distress Oxide inks (specific colors used are listed and linked in the supplies at the end of the post!). I created the flat shaker with vellum this time to soften the background a bit (and make the cone stand out) and then filled it with confetti and sequins and chunky glitter.

Hey friends! So I'm late to the party as usual - and by party I mean last week's Color Throwdown Challenge. That said, I had the idea for my card brewing for a couple of nights and HAD to make it. You ever have that happen to you? You get inspired by something and start thinking of making a card inspired by and then you HAVE to try creating it. That was me. This was the inspiration:
You can see what the rest of the team created with these colours HERE <--- click! along with a ton more inspiration from everyone who played along (on time lol!).
This is what I made:
I used Simon Says Stamp's Leafy Branch wafer die and Clustered Leaves Wafer Die (the Clustered Leaves die is an olllllldie-but-goodie. I remember wanting that die SO bad way back in the day as it was such a new concept back then having wafer dies so large) and die cut them from some of Simon's card stocks.
On the inside of the card I stamped the wreath from the Garden Greetings set with Simon's Smoke ink, the sentiment in black and then added some of the little dots from the set stamped with Cheerful ink. I paired the card with a black envelope and that was it!

Hey friends!! Insomnia is still a massive (and debilitating) issue with me here - I'm dealing (or not dealing depending on the day) with it (and I share that as just a small glimpse into things as people ask why I haven't been posting as frequently - this is the main reason why).
Anywho - new card and video! I kept this card more "simple" - basically as clean and simple as I can get - while still adding splatter and some bling lol!

I was super inspired (as usual) by a recent video of Debby Hughes - you can check out her card and video HERE <-----click! I really loved the colors and the mixed media (and well everything really) and it made me want to pull out my supplies and just create - so I did!
If you missed Tim's video revealing the new color plus all the ideas ind inspo you can find that HERE. You can check out all the new products in this color HERE <------click! Tim and SSS sent me the bundle and it showed up today so I lost NO time opening it all and creating with them!

Next, I was SUPER inspired by one of the cards that Nina Marie Trapani posted recently. I loved the background she created and I couldn't get it out of my head so I went about creating something similar. I really LOVED the pink and purple alcohol ink backgrounds she made but decided to go with completely different color schemes to see how they'd look:

Hey everyone! I'm way behind with all the things (story of my life as per usual lol), my laptop CRASHED crashed (it's happened here and there a few times over the past year, either Chris helps me to get it working or I've taken it in to be fixed) last week. Thankfully with the extended warranty I was able to get the battery and whatnot replaced and am back! I'm also hoping that was the issue causing the previous crashed but who knows - we'll see what happens lol. Doing videos for a living puts a lot of strain on my computer and i just fry them after a while.
Anywho - I accomplished ONE video on my old dinosaur of a desktop during this time. It's a night and day difference in speed and productivity (and hair loss as I pull it out in frustration - sort of kidding but not really). However it's done. I did it for the Honey Bee Stamps blog and then of course wanted to share it here with all of you:
These are mini slimline 3.25 x 6.25" cards.
Several of you have been asking me about "mini slimline" cards recently. I've had ideas simmering about them as this size intrigues me (I still love my regular slimline 3.5 x 8.5" cards, and A2 of course) so I thought why not give it a shot.

I assembled my moose and die cut some hearts from Cream and Burnt Orange card stocks and added a sentiment die cut from the Heart Animals wafer die set.

Hey everyone! So amongst all the business and craziness of STAMPtember coupled with the USPS and Canada Post taking longer to get the October Card Kit to me I just got it this past week! To top it off - the kit is still available HERE <------click! AND there's a few of us doing a mini hop to share more inspiration using the kit!
I made a couple of cards using the Happy Fall Y'all set from the kit as well as the GORGEOUS patterned papers:
I stamped the images from the Happy Fall Y'all stamp set onto Neenah card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and coloured them in with Copic Markers. I added highlights with a white gel pen and cut out all the images.
I used some of the Cozy Days patterned papers that come in the October Kit as the background for both of my cards, then adhered all the stamped images into little scenes.
On the inside of the cards I added another circle of patterned paper and the remaining pumpkin and sentiment from the Happy Fall Y'all set and that was it!
To see my unboxing video and how I made these cards check it all out below:

I created "mini slimline" cards - I thought this smaller size would be fun to feature a couple of the images from the Pocket Full of Happiness set on.
I did an ooolllldddd technique on the pockets of these critters. After stamping them with Simon's Intense Black ink onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Solar White card stock I coloured in the pockets with Copic Markers. I then took my Colorless Blender Refill and put some onto a scrap of denim fabric, and pressed that onto the images - resulting in the pattern you see here! It's a fun and super easy technique to play with - and different types of fabric give totally different results.
Anywho, I then coloured in the rest of the images, and also coloured in the outline pocket word as well.
