Celebrating STAMPtember With an Epic Blog Party!

 Hi friends and Happy STAMPtember!



It's the best month of the year and I could not be more excited! If you don't know what STAMPtember is, it's a month long celebration of stamping, hosted by Simon Says Stamp, with exclusive new products, videos, collaborations with your favorite stamping companies, inspiration, special guests, giveaways, surprises and so much more! 

Every crafter who is participating in this blog party is listed on Simon's blog here. Head over there to check out the list and find SO MUCH inspiration!

Yesterday, Simon released an amazing line of new products for this special month and I had the chance to play with some of them! I'm excited to share my cards but first, here's something fun for you!

FREE GIFT:


As you can see from the banner above, Simon is giving away their Autumn Cascade layering stencil set! Just search ssst221698 in their store, add one to your cart and use the code ACST at checkout! It's such a pretty stencil set! And there are lots of other free gifts and promotions throughout the blog party, so make sure to hunt them all down! This promo is valid until 11:59pm ET, on September 3rd.

MY CARDS:

I had so much fun playing with some of the STAMPtember exclusive products! First up is this beautiful die set called, Spindle Flower. I die cut all the pieces from white cardstock and used some pretty ink colors to shade-in the different floral pedals.



Next up is the Gliding Butterflies embossing folder and die set. I used ink blending for a rainbow effect with some gold accents.



My third card showcases the Patterned Circles stencil. More rainbow colors for a sweet, happy hello!



This next card features two new products. The Wonky Trapezoid cling stamp and the Holiday Typewriter sentiment stamp set. Now, I know a trapezoid isn't really a holiday image, but when you use a deep burgundy color and pair it with gold, I think it works!


Okay, here's my last card. To be honest, I don't make very many Halloween cards but this set is amazing! It's called Friendly Ghosts and comes with matching dies! It is so much fun to play with and I love how this card turned out! Those ghost are the cutest!


That's it for me! I hope I've given a few ideas for using some of the products from this amazing, STAMPtember release! 

Enjoy the rest of the blog party and Happy STAMPtember!!!

Oh my goodness, so many wonderful cards, each one so different than the others, it's impossible to pick a favorite, thankfully I don't have to. I love the Spindle Flower for numerous occasions, the same with the Butterfly but then I got to the little Ghosts, adorable !!! Wonderful projects, thanks for sharing them.
