I stamped images from the Life Happens set onto Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink then watercolored them with my Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors.

I used some Polychromos color pencils to add some detail and shading, and white heat embossed the sentiment onto brown card stock.

On the inside of the card I stamped the images with Simon's Cobblestone ink then added another sentiment with the Nocturne ink 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!

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. 

That said - first off if you missed any of my 2021 Halloween series so far you can find all of them here:

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!

Reverse Confetti Autumn Blessings | STAMPtember® 2021 Exclusive

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

Today's collab is with Reverse Confetti!!

As with all the Limited Edition collaboration sets - they're one and done. Once they sell out they are not restocked. You can check out the Limited Edition Reverse Confetti Autumn Blessings Stamp Set HERE and the Reverse Confetti Autumn Blessings Stamp and Die Set HERE!

As of posting this these Limited Edition sets are still available!

Memory Box True Friend Stamp set HERE

Lawn Fawn Eat, Sleep, and Be Merry stamp and set HERE

OK here's what I made with the Autumn Blessings stamp set:

This is a 3.25 x 6.25" mini slimline card.

I stamped the bouquet from the Autumn Blessings stamp set onto Simon's 120lb Smooth White card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink. In the video I show how I coloured the image with Copics and did a dotting motion for ALL of the coloring.

I did some ink blending all around the image with Simon's Seafoam, Surf and Celery inks then added a ton of splatter lol.

On the inside of the card I stamped the image with the Seafoam ink and then stamped another sentiment from the Autumn Blessings set. I paired the card with a Grocery Bag Mini Slimline envelope and that was it!

Etched Tall Leaf Spray Slimline Card

Hey friends! There's a little bit of time left to play along with last week's Color Throwdown Challenge <-----click!

Here's what I made:

I die cut Simon Says Stamp's Etched Tall Leaf Spray from some watercolor paper and then smooshed it into Faded Jeans, Speckled Egg and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Inks. Once dry I splattered it with my Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolors.

I used Simon's new Thankful For You wafer die set for the sentiment, and the Nested Slimline Rectangles wafer dies to die cut my watercolor paper that I then painted with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink mixed with water.

On the inside of the card I added half of a Etched Tall Leaf Spray that I'd coloured the same as the front, and stamped a sentiment from the XL Greetings 3 stamp set with the Faded Jeans Distress Oxide ink and that was it!

One Stamp Two Slimline Cards | SSS September 2021 Card Kit Unboxing | Sunflower Garden

Hello friends!! My Simon Says Stamp September card kit showed up:

You can check out this fabulous kit HERE <-------click! and I have links to all the things separately at the end of the post.

Here's the first couple of cards I made:

These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.

I white heat embossed the image from the Sunflower Garden stamp set onto some Cold Press Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper and then watercolored it with my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors. Once it was dry I cut it in half to get two card fronts and make two cards.

I added splatter (of course) and mixed Perfect Pearl powder with water to add some shimmer splatter too.

On the insides of the cards I stamped the big Sunflower Garden image with Simon's Cobblestone ink and added a sentiment from the set in black ink. I added some of the washi tape that came in the kit and that was it!

Distress Mica Stain Die Cuts | Honey Bee Lovely Layers Coneflower Take 2

Woo! I just got the email notification that Honey Bee's Lovely Layers Coneflower die set is back in stock (for the moment - it will be sold out again quick I'm sure but I can let y'all know on my Facebook page and Instagram when it's back).

After my earlier post and video using the new Ranger Halloween Mica Spray Stains I thought it would be fun to combine those with this die set and make something non-Halloween:

These are 3.25 x 6.25" mini slimline cards.

I die cut the pieces for the Coneflower from Distress White Heavystock, then used several of the Mica Spray Stains plus some regular Distress Spray Stains to color all the pieces (specific colors are listed in the supplies below).

They're SO sparkly and shimmery in real life - I show it better in the video. Pics just don't do it justice.

I used Honey Bee's Friend wafer die set and coordinating Friend stamp set for the sentiments, and then added some bling to the cards as one does.

I used the My Favorite Flower stamp set and coordinating wafer die set for the sentiment on the inside, and paired the cards with Mini Slimline Grocery Bag envelopes and that was it!

Hey GHOULfriend Slimline Cards | AmyR Halloween Series #4

Hello friends! I have a couple more Halloween cards to share with y'all!! If you missed any of my previous ones thus far you can find them all here:

Inky Colorful Mini Slimline Zombie Cards | AmyR Halloween 2021 Series #3

Night Sky Oxide Ink Blending FLAT Shaker | AmyR Halloween 2021 Series #2

SSS Beautiful Flowers Take 17 | AmyR Halloween 2021 Series #1

Now onto the newest cards:

These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.

I pulled out some oldie-but-goodie favourites from Honey Bee Stamps to make these fun cards. I LOVED The Name's Jack wafer dies and the coordinating stamp set when they were released a couple years ago. So I pulled those out for these cards along with several other Honey Bee stamps and dies to make these scenes.

I started by ink blending Distress Oxide inks onto my card bases, and then ink blended the die cuts made with the Horizon Slimline Borders die set. I used Simon's woodgrain card stock for the fence before blending over it and LOVE that texture is gives!

The ghosts were die cut from Lawn Fawn Pearlescent vellum and the faces were stamped and heat embossed with glitter embossing powder.

I used Honey Bee's Bee Bold Alphabet for the "GHOUL" and Friend Wafer dies and coordinating Friend stamp set to make the sentiments. Simon's Silver Holographic card stock was the perfect topper for the "friend" die cut.

I finished off the insides of the cards with a sentiment and more pearlescent ghosties and that was it!

Inky Colorful Mini Slimline Zombie Cards | AmyR Halloween 2021 Series #3

Hey hey friends!! Post and video #3 for my 2021 Halloween series (honestly I didn't think I'd be posting this many so quickly but I'm having FUN so why not?). If you missed the other 2 posted so far they're here at the links below:

Night Sky Oxide Ink Blending FLAT Shaker | AmyR Halloween 2021 Series #2

SSS Beautiful Flowers Take 17 | AmyR Halloween 2021 Series #1

Now for the latest cards:

These are 3.25 x 6.25" mini slimline cards.

I created several inky, messy, smooshy backgrounds using several Distress inks (specific colors are listed and linked in the supplies below) and Distress watercolor paper.

I used Tim Holtz Tangled Webs stamp set on the backgrounds, stamping it and also white heat embossing it. The main images and sentiments are from the Tim Holtz Zombies stamp set. I used the same Distress inks to color in all the images.

On the insides of the cards I stamped the Tangled Webs images, and added a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Pumpkinhead stamp set 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!

Flat Slimline Vellum Shaker Card | Colorado Craft Company Slimline Ice Cream

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:

Rainbow Christmas FLAT Shaker Cards | Waffle Flower Galina's Snowflakes Stamp Set

EASY Slimline Flat Shaker Card | SSS Fading Stars Stencil

EASY Edge to Edge Flat Shaker Card | SSS Repeating Rainbows Background

EASY FLAT Shaker Cards!! | SSS Delicate Outline Flowers Background

So for today's card not only is it a flat shaker, I also did some no-line colouring while I was at it:

This is a 3.5 x 8.5" slimline card.

I stamped Colorado Craft Company's Slimline Ice Cream image onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb card stock using Honey Bee's No Line Coloring ink. I then coloured it in with Copic markers, and stamped the "hot fudge" with Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink and heat embossed it with Clear embossing powder to make it glossy.

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.

I stamped the cone on the inside with Oxide inks, and added a sentiment from the set with the Ground Espresso Oxide ink. I paired the card with one of Simon's Grocery Bag Slimline Envelopes and that was it!

Distress Ink Refill Colored DieCuts | SSS Adeline Butterfly

Hey everyone!! So I'm the hostess of this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:

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

Here's what I made:

This is a 3.25 x 6.25" Mini Slimline Card.

I pulled out Simon Says Stamp's oldie-but-goodie Adeline Butterfly wafer die and die cut it multiple times from some Canson XL water-colour paper. I then used a bunch of Distress Reinkers to color them in, and once dry added splatter with white gouache.

I used Salvaged Patina Distress Ink and blended it onto the background, and used the CZ Design Thank You wafer die for my sentiment. Also - BLING.

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the XL Greetings 2 stamp set using Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink, and added one of the die cut Adeline Butterflies and that was it!

Easy Rainbow Slimline Cards with Matching Envelopes | Trinity Stamps

Hey everyone! So if you missed my Release & Review video that I posted sharing the HUGE Trinity Stamps 3rd Birthday release - you can find that here:

Trinity Stamps 3rd Birthday Release & Review! | June 2021

I couldn't resist playing with the new It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood stamp set and the coordinating wafer die set and made these slimline cards with them:

These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.

I white heat embossed the images from the It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood set onto a bunch of different colors of card stock and then die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.

I did the same thing with the sentiment from the set, and then adhered everything to pre-made Slimline note cards from SSS using different thicknesses of foam squares.

On the insides of the cards I stamped a sentiment from the Supporting Script Sentiments set with Audrey Blue ink, then added a strip of rainbow paper I had left over.

I used 12x12 patterned papers from my stash to make envelopes for these cards using the Trinity Stamps Slimline Envelope Builder wafer die set. Once those were made my happy rainbow cards were complete!

EASY Slimline Flat Shaker Card | SSS Fading Stars Stencil

Welcome to my latest obsession friends!! LOL! I am LOVING making flat shaker cards - they're so fun and it finally gives me a way to use up the packaging I've kept and my massive stash of sequins, confetti and glitter!

If you missed my last couple of posts about flat shaker cards you can find them here:

EASY Edge to Edge Flat Shaker Card | SSS Repeating Rainbows Background

EASY FLAT Shaker Cards!! | SSS Delicate Outline Flowers Background

So now on to the latest cards - slimline flat shakers:

These are 3.5 x 8.5" Slimline Cards.

I ink blended on some of Simon Says Stamp's Smooth White card stock creating a rainbow blend using several Simon inks. I then used the new Fading Stars stencil and blended black ink over it. Over that I added Dark Matter Stickles Glitter Gel - it's hard to see that in the photos/video (especially as I LOADED these up with a ton of confetti and glitter) but in real life it can be seen.

I used the CZ Design Thanks wafer die, and cut down some of the Reverse Gratitude Sentiment Strips to finish off the sentiments on the front.

On the insides of the cards I blended the same inks over the Fading Stars stencil, then added a sentiment from the XL Greetings 2 stamp set and that was it!

SSS June 2021 Card Kit Unboxing + 2 Easy Mini Slimline Cards!

Hello friends!!

Thanks to a bunch of tech difficulties, other issues, and me spending more time outside (when I'm frustrated with the computer etc etc it's best to walk away. We've been having some beautiful weather lately so I walk outside and take care of the plants I've been shockingly managing to keep alive in the backyard lol!) I haven't been able to get a video up!

However I got the issues fixed, refilmed things that I needed to re-do and have a video for y'all!

These are 3.25 x 6.25" mini slimline cards.

I used Simon Says Stamp's June 2021 card kit (it's still available as of me posting this! I'll have a link to the kit as well as to everything individually at the end of this post). I filmed my unboxing in the beginning portion of the video and then made these mini slimline cards with it.

I couldn't resist adding glitter to the clouds using Glossy Accents and 2 of Simon's loose glitters. Gotta have a little bling!

I finished off the insides of the cards and paired them with some mini slimline envelopes and that was it!
