I ink blended the background over Simon's Dots on Dots stencil using Pawsitively Saturated inks and blending brushes. And added a ton of splatter as is tradition.

The sentiments are from Simon's Extra Talkative stamp set. I love the sentiments in the Just Start stamp set (such good ones) but I wanted larger sentiments for this card for a bolder impact.

I stamped the florals from the Butterfly Ranunculus set onto Strathmore watercolor paper with Nocturne ink and heat embossed them with Wow's Clear Matt Dull embossing powder. I watercolored them with the Brushmarker Pro's and my Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen. 

I ink blended some Distress Oxide inks over Neenah Desert Storm card stock and then ran the panel through my die cut machine with Simon's Geometric Lattice embossing folder. Annnddd added a bunch of splatter with Perfect Pearl powder mixed with water of course.

Hey friends!!

I wanted to ink up Simon's Black Eyed Susans stamp set from their STAMPtember® release on the 1st - if you missed my Release & Review video on that you can find that here:

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember 2022 Release & Review!

So I wanted to combine that set with this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:

You can check out what the rest of the team made with these colors HERE <------click! and play along too if you'd like!

Here's what I made:

I stamped the bigger floral stamp from the Black Eyed Susans set onto Strathmore watercolor paper with Fallen Leaves ink, heat embossed it with Wow's Clear Matt Dull embossing powder then watercolored the images with Karin Brushmarker Pro's.

I used the coordinating wafer dies to die cut the floral and bees, and also white heat embossed a sentiment from the set onto Dark Chocolate card stock which was die cut with the coordinating wafer die.

The card base was ink blended with Simon's Lucky and Sunshine Pawsitively Saturated inks and I used the same inks to stamp the floral on the inside of the card.

SSS September 2022 Card Kit Unboxing + 2 Cards!

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!

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!

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 hoping to be posting a BUNCH of videos over the next few days. I've been super behind on editing and tech issues (what else is new 🤪) but I'm powering through!

I am just LOVING Simon's Mother's Day Tulips stamp set - y'all know I love me some big floral images and these tulips are HUGE. I made slimline cards recently using the set - if you missed that post you can find it here:

Distress Ink Watercolor Slimline Tulips Cards

This is what I made with it this time:

This is a 5x7" card.

I white heat embossed the tulips on a piece of Ranger Matte Black Alcohol Ink card stock. I then pulled out my Karin Pigment DecoBrush Markers to color it in. I did a previous card using these markers here:

First Attempt with Pigment Deco Brush Markers | AmyR 2022 Valentine's Card Series #3

I used the new Fancy Mom wafer die and Simon's Assorted Holographic card stock for the main sentiment, and the Mother's Day Sentiment Strip pack (that I tinted with a Copic marker) for a companion sentiment.

On the inside of the card I stamped the tulips with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Mother's Day Tulips set with Versafine Claire Nocturne ink and that was it!

I used Simon's Beautiful Bouquet stamp set again - and I am sure you all will see me use it many more times lol! I love me some huge floral images! This time I white heat embossed it onto Black Matte Alcohol Ink Cardstock. I then colored it in using Karin Pigment DecoBrush markers. 

I of course added splatter using my Avery Elle White Spray and my Zig Gold Mica Liquid.

The die cut sentiments are from Simon's Thinking of You Line wafer dies. I used Doll Pink and Matte Gold card stock for them and adhered it right over the main image.

On the inside of the card I stamped the Beautiful Bouquet with Simon's Cheeky ink and then stamped a sentiment from the same set with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and that was it!

Sunflower Halloween Card | AmyR Halloween 2021 Series #14

Hello friends!! It's the end of STAMPtember® - but not the end of new things (and not the end of me posting new videos lol). Simon just released a bunch of new colors of the PET Pawsitively Everything Tool:

You can check out all the new colors (plus the original color it came in) plus the bundle HERE <-------click!

I love my PET tools. I was sent one when they were first released, bought a couple more and now I definitely need to get all these colors b/c they are SO handy. I use them as a coaster, to rest my heat tools on, to keep ink pads from sliding around etc etc. I want to get more so I can keep one by my sink to use when I'm cleaning my brushes and to have extras for ink pads and coasters lol!

AND - Simon just released this HUGE Halloween kit:

You can check out the Limited Edition Mixed Media Halloween 2021 Craft Kit HERE <----click! while supplies last!

Anywho - on to my card and video!

For today's card I decided to go with a fave floral set and make something that could be for any occasion - all you'd need to change up is the sentiments used:

I stamped Simon's Sunflower Garden image onto Strathmore Watercolor Paper using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and then clear heat embossed it. I then used my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush to watercolor the image and the background.

I added a TON of splatter (of course) using Perfect Pearl Powder, White Gouache and Black Soot Distress Paint.

On the inside of the card I stamped the Sunflower Garden with Simon's Fog ink, then added sentiments from the Spooky Salutations Sentiment Strips pack. I used the same pack for the sentiments on the front of the card and just colored the strips with Copic markers. 

I then paired the card with one of Simon's Orange Peel envelopes and that was it!

Here's what I made with the Sarcastic Kitties Stamp Set:

These are 3.5 x 8.5" Slimline Cards.

I stamped the images from the Sarcastic Kitties set onto Strathmore Watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and colored them in with my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush.

I used the CZ Design Everett Alphabet Wafer Die set for the "meow" and blended some Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink onto the letters before adhering them to the card front.

The card front panel was die cut with Simon's Slimline Nested Rectangles wafer dies, and the scalloped mat was die cut using the Slimline Scallop Frame wafer dies.

On the inside of the card (and on the envelopes) I stamped a cat image with Simon's Cobblestone ink. I stamped the heart-shaped "fur ball" with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink and then stamped the sentiment and that was it!

SSS October 2021 Card Kit Unboxing + Card

Hey friends!!

So Simon's October Card Kit arrived the other day - and it's a GOOD one (I say that every month lol). With all the craziness that is STAMPtember® and all the extra videos I decided to do I finally found a chance to unbox the kit, film it and make a card for y'all using it!

I used one of the watercolor cards that came in the kit, and colored it in with my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush. I fussy cut around the top portion as I only wanted the images for my card.

I used the Kaleidoscope 3D Embossing Folder that comes in the kit and embossed the Schoolhouse Red card stock with it. I white heat embossed a sentiment from the So Talkative stamp set onto Royal Purple card stock and added the die cut Friend sentiment above it. I then splattered it all with gold watercolor.

On the inside of the card I stamped another sentiment from the So Talkative stamp set with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink and that was it!
