October Card Kit – SSS

Back for another card using the Simon Says Stamp October card kit! I loved the diversity of this stamp set so much!

One of many things I miss during this pandemic is getting together with friends. Thankfully, I do have a few friends that are quarantining just as well as we are and can meet up, but it takes out the fun whim of getting together with girlfriends for coffee. I made this card hoping that some day I can send it out and catch up with a few people who I haven’t had the chance to see this quarantine.

I started with using the new distress oxide ink in Crackling Campfire because honestly, its got to be the most perfect fall color. I picked out a brand new stencil from my stash from Paper Rose called “Stephanie” and brushed the distress ink on to it. I also used Pixie Spray for the first time and I was presently surprised! This was a very intricate stencil and it worked wonders keeping it in place. When the ink was blended to my liking, I stamped the coffee cups from the stamp set and then colored them with my Caran d’Ache pencils. I added some gold Nuvo drops, flicked the card from the bottom to level them out and then finished!

What’s your favorite thing about fall?

October Card Kit – SSS

I love a good card kit and Simon Says Stamps October kit is one I cannot put down! I even received Novembers yesterday and can’t bring myself to move on.

This little guy stole my heart with his cute little sweater. I broke out my Caran d’Ache pencils again to give him a quick color. I used the patterned paper from the kit of the falling leaves and tried to coordinate his sweater to match.

I added a velum circle behind him to break up the background and help him pop! Super simple and easy card!

Last I checked this kit still was for sale so go now and grab one!

October Card Kit 2020 – SSS

I just love fall! This months kit was so inspiring for the season. I was very inspired by Amy from Prairie Paper and Ink when she used the nuvo shimmer powders on a recent holiday card. They are stunning! (Click here for her blog post!). After not having the best luck with them, I followed her video as well as her advice on just letting them be to dry. So I pulled out my Tim Holtz watercolor paper and went to town creating two sheets of shimmers.

I started by selecting three colors of Nuvo shimmer powders . Once I had all three colors chosen,Solar Flare, Catherine Wheel, and Falling Leaves, I grabbed two sheets of Tim Holtz water color paper. I wanted to test which way the colors reacted better. One sheet where I place the shimmers down first then add water, and the second way where I add water and then spritz. I softly tapped the bottom of each bottle with my nail to help expel the littlest amount of product (because a little goes a long way!). Each method had similar results and I couldn’t tell the difference between the two. However, I enjoyed adding the powders first, then spritzing with water.

After I left them to dry, I returned and used the trees from the stamp set and arranged them so that the leaves of the trees had the best color. I then cut them out.

I grabbed matching colors in distress oxide ink and splattered the kraft Gina K cardstock along the bottom to represent leaves that had already fallen. I used Candied apple, Mowed Lawn and Fossilized Amber.

I glued them all and added some jewels and tada! Fall on a card. There are still some Simon Says Stamp October Card kits. You can find them here!

Card number two with this awesome heart garden set Card number two with this awesome heart garden set from @simonsaysstamp! For this card I got out my #copic markers (the few I have!) and used a dot technique to shade the hearts and leaves in. I then cut the stamp into bundles to create a more dense garden! Added a #mom die and a reverse sentiment from sss and some background dots to finish it off!

I love being challenged to make unique cards! This I love being challenged to make unique cards! This was a request for a snowy snowmobile dad card and I am here for it! I used my @silhouette.inc to find and image and print it out, then I used my #mincfoil machine and gave it a nice silver shine. Then I used @simonsaysstamp prismatic snowflakes cause I felt like they were a little more masculine. Added some #distressink , splatter and shimmer spray and viola!

I recently watched a video where @bromerocards did I recently watched a video where @bromerocards did this beautiful black ink blend on red paper with gold embossing and I couldn’t get it out of my head! I used my @simonsaysstamp #sssck from December and went to town! I used the red and dark green paper from the pack, as well as the stamp set. For the green paper I blended white pigment ink on and used silver instead. And I recently purchased Simons antique gold embossing powder and it’s such an awesome gold! Move over liquid platinum, this embossing powder is my new favorite! Be sure to check out Ricky’s card from November 9!
