Simon Says Stamp - You are my Sunshine!

I am so happy to be back in creative mode! It's exciting and motivating and just plain fun!! I have three projects to share this week starting with this card I created using Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit. These kits sell out REALLY quick but are well worth every penny. I always have tons to create with and I gain a gorgeous stamp with every kit. I usually create several cards and a Prima Doll Tag each month. My surgery set my creativity back so this month I created a card with a Prima Doll Stamp on it!! I love how it came out and the colors are bright and

and so cheery!! Here's my card.

The Prima Doll Stamp is "Collette" one of the newer stamps for the summer. I water colored her skin, hair and the adorable flower from the stamp set included in this month's kit with gelatos! I stamped Collette onto cream colored cardstock using my Misti Tool and paper pieced her summer outfit.

Here's a close up of the cute flower.

I added a few sequins, also included in the kit, and a sentiment. I love the summery feel to this card - it would be nice to give someone who needs some cheering up!

Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back tomorrow with a fun layout for Noel Mignon, See you then!! 

A Summery Doll Tag

Hello Bloggers and Happy Wednesday! What are you up to today? I am off and have a few appointments and several crafting projects to catch up on. 

During my crafty weekend at the Cape I made another Prima Doll Tag using one of Julie Nutting's new doll stamps. I love her latest release - the girls are all summer themed!! I look forward to creating with these new stamps over the summer!! Here's my tag. This is Suzi 

She's all decked out for the summer. I stamped her on smooth classic cream neenah cardstock with Memento Ink. I used the Misti tool which I love!! I get a great stamp every time with this tool. 

I added some cork to her shoes to make them look more summer themed.

I love creating with Julie's doll stamps - I have quite the collection already, and it's still growing! 

Well, I'm off to get stuff done! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!! See you soon!! 

Valentine's Day Cards

Hi Bloggers. During the storm this past Monday, not the Blizzard, just a smaller storm which dumped over 1 foot of MORE snow, I hunkered down in my studio - in between shoveling and re-shoveling a path for my Simba. I kitted for some upcoming classes and I created two Valentine's day cards with my Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit. I recently joined this club because I'm attempting to create more handmade cards and the kit looked like a good deal! February's kit is awesome! It includes a stamp set, embossing powder, rub-ons and lots of paper to play with. I'm still kinda new at homemade cards and this kit makes it easy. Here's what I've created so far ...

 

Included in this month's kit was Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock, SSS White Embossing Powder, SSS "Paper Hug" Stamp Set and a Gold Champagne Gelato all of which I used on this card. I heat embossed the sentiment and scribbled the gold gelato over the sentiment. I water brushed the gelato over the sentiment to give it a watercolor look...

 

Here's my second card ...

 

 

 

 

I used the gelatos again on this card but in a different way. I scribbled some gelato on a craft sheet, added water and then flicked it onto the card. I also painted in the hearts with the watered gelato ...

 

 So, if you are looking for a good card kit I recommend Simon Says Stamp!!
Have a good weekend and I'd love your feedback on my cards! See you soon!!
