Shimmer Powders 4 Ways | SSS Thankful Magnolia

Hey friends! After my previous card using Simon's Tin Tile stencil and a sentiment from the Thankful Magnolia stamp set I of course needed to use the HUGE floral image in the Thankful Magnolia set to make some cards:

I stamped the floral onto Canson XL watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and clear heat embossed them. I then used a variety of Nuvo Shimmer powders to paint in the images before letting them dry and die cutting them with the coordinating wafer die.

The backgrounds were done with Ivory Willow and Jade Fountain Nuvo Shimmer Powders over watercolor paper. Once dry I mixed the powders with Rangers Opaque Matte Texture Paste and applied the colored pastes over Simon's Tin Tile Stencil.

I used those same shimmer powder colors to paint pieces of watercolor paper that I then die cut with the Big Thanks wafer die.

On the insides of the cards I stamped the floral with Simon's Fog ink and that was it!

Hey friends! I'm still on my "rainbow using only 3 colors" obsession lol! AND I wanted to quickly mention a sale going on right now:

Shop all things Ranger at Simon Says Stamp <-------click! (the only exception is the pre-order of the NEW Distress color that will come out on the 18th!! I can't wait to see what it is!) and save 20% with the code RANGER

Here's what I made for today:

I used Honey Bee's new Rainbow A2 Pierced Coverplate on some Canson XL watercolor paper. I then did some easy drippy watercolor using Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray Stains. I then amped it up by adding a TON of splatter using water mixed with Honey Bee's new Shimmery Iridescent Watercolor.

I used the Rainbow Dreams stamp set and coordinating die set to create the clouds by white heat embossing the clouds on vellum, and then using scraps of white card stock and the dies for the others. The sentiments are from the Look For The Rainbow stamp set (and I show in the video how I got the multiple colors on the sentiments) and coordinating wafer die set.

On the inside of the card I stamped the rainbow arch (I just LOVE this stamp in the set) from the Rainbow Dreams stamp set with multiple colors. I added sentiments from the Look For The Rainbow set that were die cut with the coordinating dies, adhered into place and that was it!

Here's what I created:

I used the new Layered Orchid wafer die set from Waffle Flower and die cut the pieces from Ranger's Watercolor Cardstock. I then used 3 different colors of Nuvo Shimmer Powders - Cherry Bomb, Solar Flare and Blue Blitz to color in the florals.

I used the Thank You stamp set and white heat embossed the sentiment onto black card stock then die cut it with the coordinating wafer die. The white panel was die cut with one of the dies from the Designer Template 1 Die set.

On the insides of the cards I used the Thank You stamp set again, but this time I inked up the large sentiment with 3 different colors of Distress Oxide inks - Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Mermaid Lagoon. I then stamped the second sentiment over it with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and that was it!

Rainbow Watercolor Distress Spray Stain vs Oxide Spray | SSS Beautiful Flowers Take 20

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!

Yup - it's my 20th video using Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Flowers stamp set. What can I say - this set has been a favorite of mine since it came out however many years ago, and when I pulled it out again recently I warned y'all that I'd be making more videos with it again!!

If you haven't seen it I do have an entire playlist on my YouTube channel with all the videos using the Beautiful Flowers stamp set as well as the Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp set here:

SSS Beautiful Flowers 1 & 2 Videos

I am also still on a rainbow kick (it's so fun and cheerful how could one not want everything in rainbow colors) and decided for these cards to do one with Distress Spray Stains and one with Distress Oxide Sprays.

So I started off by white heat embossed the Beautiful Flowers image onto Canson XL watercolor paper.

I used Distress Spray Stains on this card - my current "go-to combo" of Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Mermaid Lagoon, and watercolored them over the image.

On the second card I used the same colors but this time with Distress Oxide Sprays.

I used the CZ Design Hugs wafer die for my main sentiment and topped the die cuts with Simon's Black Glossy card stock - LOVE the shine that gives!

I kept the insides of these ones simple and just stamped the Beautiful Flowers floral with Simon's Fog ink. That way these cards can be used for pretty much any occasion and I have plenty of space to write!

SSS June 2022 Card Kit Unboxing + 2 Slimline 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!

Hello hello friends! Simon Says Stamp's June 2022 Card Kit came out this week:

You can check out the Happiest Wishes Card Kit HERE <------click! plus I'll have links to it and everything individual at the end of this post.

After unboxing the kit I decided to focus on the Slimline Sunburst Stencil and the Starshine Stickles Glitter Gel that came in the kit and made 2 slimline cards with them:

These are 3.5 x 8.5" Slimline Cards.

I created backgrounds using Squeezed Lemonade Distress Reinker over Distress watercolor paper. After adding splatter (of course) and letting everything dry I applies the Starshine Stickles Glitter Gel over the backgrounds with the Slimline Sunburst Stencil.

They're SO shimmery and glittery and reflective in real life! I die cut some of Simon's Sunshine card stock with the Scripty Big Hugs wafer die that comes in the kit and stacked 3 layers together to give it dimension. And of course I added some bling from my stash: Studio Katia Pineapple Delight Crystals.

On the inside of the cards I used the Slimline Sunburst Stencil with Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Sunbeam. On the Slimline Dandelion envelopes I used the stencil with Citrine ink to tie it all together and that was it!

Sunshine of Hope Mini Slimline Card

Hello friends! After a couple of crazy weeks dealing with one crazy thing after another I'm back with videos! 

I missed being able to participate in the Support Ukraine Blog Hop that happened earlier this month but you all can check it out HERE for info and inspiration. The stamp set that Studio Katia released for it is donating 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the set to the Save the Children Organization in support of Ukrainian children. I also did a blog post HERE that has some info and a link to places for donating - but I am personally loving how so many of my fellow crafters and crafty companies have been stepping up to help and support and do whatever they can! 

I used the Sunshine of Hope stamp set to make this mini slimline card:

This is a 3 1/8 x 6 1/4" Mini Slimline Card.

I stamped the sunflower from the Sunshine of Hope stamp set onto Canson XL watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and clear heat embossed it. I then used several of Simon Says Stamp's Pawsitively Saturated Inks to watercolor it.

I used Studio Katia's Spring Pastels Polka Slimline patterned paper for the card front, die cutting both the patterned paper and the watercolor panel using Simon's Mini Slimline Rectangles wafer dies. I white heat embossed a sentiment from the Sunshine of Hope set onto a piece of vellum that I wrapped around the front panel before adhering it.

On the inside of the card I stamped the sunflower with Simon's Sunbeam ink and stamped another sentiment from the Sunshine of Hope set and that was it!

Garden Boots Card | Watercolor with Pawsitively Saturated Inks

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! I have another card and video to share with y'all using Simon Says Stamp's Pawsitively Saturated Inks:

I used the inks in 4 different ways on this card. First off I created an ink smooshed background using Seafoam and Surf inks. Once that was dry I mixed some Ocean ink with Transparent Gloss Texture Paste and applied it over Simon's Raindrops stencil. I sprinkled on some Unicorn Dust Confetti and Unicorn Dust Glitter while the paste was still wet to give it some extra bling.

I used several colors of the Pawsitively Saturated Inks to watercolor in these rainboot images from the Garden Boots stamp set. LOVE this set. It just screams spring and I LOVE the font for the sentiments too.

I did add some Aqua Shimmer Clear Glitter Gloss to the boots as I was watercoloring them (which you can see much better in the video) so they're SPARKLY boots. Who doesn't love glittery rubber boots?

The final way I used the inks on this card was a simple ink blend using the Seafoam ink over the Raindrops stencil on the inside of the card and that was it!

Drippy Watercolor with SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks

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! So I pulled out the new Mom's Spring Flowers stamp set b/c I am in LOVE with the large floral image in it. I made a card and video using it here if you missed it:

Watercolor with Distress Oxide Inks | Happy Spring Card

I mentioned in that video how I was thinking about "drippy watercolor" and I couldn't get it out of my head so I made this:

This time I used Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Inks for the watercoloring. I genuinely LOVE these inks - all I want is more colors lol! 

I stamped the big floral from the Mom's Spring Flowers set onto some Canson XL watercolor paper using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. I then used several of the Pawsitively Saturated Inks to watercolor with. I also used my Clear Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer Pen while watercoloring so the florals are glittery as well (which never shows up in photos - you can see it in the video).

Splatter was added (of course) with white gouache and Perfect Pearl Powder. The sentiment is from the new CZ Design Spring In My Step stamp set and I gold heat embossed it onto the watercolor panel after everything was dry.

On the inside of the card I stamped the big floral with Simon's Cantaloupe ink and then stamped another sentiment from the Spring In My Step stamp set and that was it!

I will also have links to the other stops on this hop as well as GIVEAWAY info at the end so be sure to check out this whole post!

Here's what I made for today:

These are 3.5 x 8.5" Slimline Cards.

Of course I HAD to use the new Mother's Day Tulips set for my cards. HELLO BIG FLORALS. Especially big tulips - I said in a recent video for y'all to expect to see me post a bunch of tulip-themed cards b/c it's that time of year and I just love tulips. I love the real ones and I love creating them on paper too. And this stamp is HUGE so it makes it extra fun to color in. There's a coordinating wafer die available as well for it (which I don't have but I'm prolly going to order it b/c I think I'll be using this set a lot...).

I heat embossed the tulips onto Canson XL watercolor paper with Simon's Cream embossing powder. I then used a variety of Distress Inks to watercolor them in.

For the greenery I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Inks. Then for this first card I combined Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, and Abandoned Coral to get this pretty, peachy, orange color.

For this card I combined Saltwater Taffy, Picked Raspberry and Villainous Potion - LOVE.

I also pulled out my oldie-but-goodie favorite Etched Dragonfly wafer die to add them to the cards. For the sentiments I heat embossed the sentiment from the new All About Mom stamp set with the Cream embossing powder and die cut it with the coordinating wafer die.

On the insides of the cards I stamped the tulips with Simon's Fog ink, and added a sentiment from the Mother's Day Tulips set that I stamped with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink and that was it!

Of course I immediately gravitated to one of the new large floral images (y'all know me and my love of large floral stamps lol) to make a card with:

I used the new Mom's Spring Flowers stamp set and watercolored it with a variety of Distress Oxide inks. I LOVE this huge floral image in the set, and there are a bunch of great sentiments in it as well.

I used the new Detail Mandala Plate on the background to add some piercing detail, then ink blended with Oxide inks and stamped Simon's Friendship Text Background over it.

On the inside of the card I stamped the Friendship Text background stamp. The sentiments on the inside and outside of the card are from the new XL Spring Greetings stamp set. I stamped them with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink on vellum and heat embossed them with Saltwater Taffy Distress Embossing Glaze before diecutting them with the coordinating wafer dies.

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! I have a couple of cards and a video to share with y'all using some of Honey Bee Stamps newest products. If you missed the Release & Review video I did sharing all the new products you can find that HERE <-------click!

I gold heat embossed the dragonflies from Honey Bee's Dragonfly stamp set on Bristol Smooth card stock. I used Salvaged Patina, Prize Ribbon, and Villainous Potion Distress Inks to watercolor the dragonflies. On the wings I used my Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer pen so they are GLITTERY in real life (you can see it in the video!). I used the coordinating wafer die set to die cut the dragonflies.

I did a bunch of ink smooshing on a separate piece of card stock that I die cut with a couple of the dies from Honey Bee's Lovely Layers: Greenery wafer dies. On the backgrounds I ran pieces of white card stock through my die cut machine using the Spring Leaves A2 Coverplate die.

I used the Kind Buzzword wafer die and coordinating Kind Buzzword stamp set for my sentiments.

On the insides of the cards I added a dragonfly that I'd heat embossed and watercolored, and die cut with the coordinating wafer die. I added sentiments from the Dragonfly stamp set and that was it!

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! This week I'm the host of The Color Throwdown Challenge:

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

Here's what I made:

I created a mixed media background by first clear heat embossing Simon Says Stamp's Hand-Lettered Friends Background onto some Canson watercolor paper. I then ink smooshed Celery and Fairway inks, added splatter and let it dry.

Over all of that I applied crackle paste over the Spring Boho Circle stencil and while the paste was wet I sprinkled on some Unicorn Dust glitter.

The main image is from the Hibiscus Blooms stamp set and was stamped onto the same Canson watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. I then watercolored in the image with several Pawsitively Saturated Inks, added a bunch of splatter and once dry I die cut it with the coordinating wafer die.

On the inside of the card I stamped the same image with Simon's Bubblegum ink, added a sentiment from the Hibiscus Blooms set and that was it!

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 March Card Kit is here <-------click! and I have a card and video with an unboxing of the kit to share with y'all today.

I used one of the watercolor panels that come in the March Card Kit and watercolored it with a couple of my Prima watercolor palettes, and then splattered it with some white gouache. Once it was dry I cut it out with scissors.

After trimming down a couple of the patterned papers from the kit I die cut one of them with one of the Nested Domed Arches wafer dies. 

I adhered the remaining patterned paper die cut arch into the inside of the card. The sentiments are from the Hoppy Days Ahead stamp set that comes in the kit and I white heat embossed them onto the Cornflower card stock before trimming them out and adhering them and that was it!

Hey friends! So today's post is for this week's Color Throwdown challenge:

You can check out what the rest of the team created with these colors HERE <-------click! and there is still time to play along too if you'd like!

Here's what I made:

I die cut some Canson XL watercolor paper using Simon's Dreamy Daisy Layers wafer die and then used the Pawsitively Saturated Ink Trio 7 to paint the layers with water and a paint brush.

I did the same thing using the Privet Branch wafer die and Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Field green.

I die cut another piece of the Canson watercolor paper using one of the Nested Domed Arches wafer dies that I ink blended and splattered some Cappuccino and Mocha inks onto. I used the Mocha ink to stamp the Friendship Text Background onto some Smooth White card stock and then blended the Cappuccino and Mocha inks on that as well.

On the inside of the card I stamped the Friendship Text Background using Marine ink, and then the sentiment strips I added to the inside and outside of the card are from the CZ Design Well Wishes Sentiment Strip pack and that was it!

Hello friends!

Simon Says Stamp's Good Luck Charm release went live this week:

You can check out the entire Good Luck Charm release HERE <------click! and I have links to all the items here below:

AND since this post is part of a blog hop to share inspiration I have a code for y'all too (and a giveaway at the end of the post!!):

Shop at Simon Says Stamp <-------click! and get the cute little Birthday Cupcake stamp set FREE with any purchase with the code YUM20

So here's what I created:

I created a mixed media background by stamping Simon's Friendship Text Background onto Canson watercolor paper with Fog ink. I then ink smooshed some of Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Inks onto the background and added splatter. For some additional texture I applied crackle paste over the new Clover Wreath Stencil and let that dry.

The main image is from the new Spring Stems stamp set. I white heat embossed it onto the same watercolor paper and watercolored it with more of Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Inks. After splattering it and letting it dry I die cut it with the coordinating wafer die. The sentiment is from the new CZ Design Feel Better Soon wafer die set.

On the inside of the card I stamped the image from the Spring Stems set with Lemonade ink, then stamped a sentiment from the CZ Design Well Wishes stamp set and that was it!

To see how this card came together check out my video below:
