It's a STAMPtember blog party!

 Hi everyone and happy STAMPtember!


It's the best month of the year and I'm excited to share some cards with you, showcasing a few of the products from Simon's big, STAMPtember release!

I LOVE STAMPtember! It's a month long celebration of all things stamping, crafting and card making, hosted by Simon Says Stamp. It's filled with new products and card kits, surprises, videos, YouTube live streams, tons of card making inspiration and exclusive stamp set collaborations with everyone's favorite stamp companies! Be sure to keep an eye on the Simon Says Stamp blog every, single day this month for all kinds of fun!

SCAVENGER HUNT:

Okay, so have you heard about the scavenger hunt? Check out all the blog/Instagram posts from today's STAMPtember party and find all the codes! There's lots of free product offers! You can start at Simon's blog here. Once you're there, you'll find a full list of crafters participating in the party. 

Here's my code for you. You'll receive a FREE, Party Like a Puffin stamp set, with a $30 purchase, when you use this code at checkout. Yay!


SIMON GALLERIES:

Did you know Simon has card galleries for each of their releases and their card kits, and even a video gallery? It's true, and you can add your very own cards and projects to these galleries! Here's a link to all the Simon Brand Galleries and here's the link to the new, STAMPtember gallery. There is so much inspiration to see! I encourage you to check them out and add your own cards/projects!

MY CARDS:

My first card showcases the Pepperberry Bundles Embossing Folder and Cutting Die. I love that this folder comes with matching dies! I used Copic Markers to color the die-cut portions, before adhering them to the embossed panel. And the sentiment is from the Christmas Blessings stamp set. What a beautiful set that is, filled with a ton of gorgeous, holiday sentiments!



My next card features the Acorns and Leaves stencil set. I used a few of Simon's fabulous, Pawsitively Saturated Inks to create this pretty, fall card. And a bit of white splatter is always a good idea! 



Can you say candy?! What a yummy cling stamp this is! It's called, Sugar Rush and I had a blast coloring it with Copics. I chose a funny sentiment from CZ Designs' stamp set called, Sassy Thankful. So fun!


Okay, so this die plate is so gorgeous! It's called, Flourishing Bloom Plate and all I did was cut it out, color the flowers and leaves using Copic Markers again and adhered it to a black cardstock panel. And I used another sentiment from the Christmas Blessings set.


Thank you so much for visiting me! I hope you're as excited as I am for STAMPtember, and I also hope I've given you a few ideas for playing with some of the products from this awesome release!

Enjoy the rest of the blog party!

Kelley said...

Your cards are beautiful. I laughed when I read the CZ sentiment on the Sugar Rush card. SO TRUE!

Lynn Conlon said...

I love your coloring on the Sugar Rush card. Makes me happy. Your other cards are beautiful. You cards really capture the seasons. I love the yellow card with the leaves but find it very difficult to read the sentiment. Maybe using a darker ink for the sentiment would have made it easier to read.
Thanks for sharing your cards.
