Hi friends!
Happy STAMPtember! I'm excited to be a part of this epic blog party today and excited for Simon's huge release to kick off the best, crafty month of the year!
If you'd like to see all the different bloggers who are participating in the blog party, head over to Simon's blog here for a full list.
FREE GIFT:
As you can see by the image above, Simon is giving away their Fancy Birthday die set for free with any purchase! Just follow the three steps above. Everyone in the blog party is sharing a "gift with a certain purchase amount," or a "gift with any purchase," so be sure to hunt for those at each stop!
MY CARDS:
I had fun playing with some of the awesome products from this huge release! First up is a card using the adorable, not too spooky, Twisted Haunted House die set. I created a fun sky with some inks, and colored my house with a couple of non-traditional colors. The sentiment is from the Little Boo die set.
For my second card, I used the Trick or Treat 2 die set, creating a fun background and using a cool, shaped die set for extra interest.
On this next card, I used the Halloween Basics stamp set. The image of the bats in this set is just one, big stamp! A dark, splotchy background is all you need to create an easy and quick Halloween card.
Here is my last card, and I'm happy to say, it's not a Halloween one. Lol! For this one, I used the beautiful, Stitched Flowers embossing folder. I embossed it on a piece of Simon's Color Blend Cardstock, which already gives you the ombre look. After embossing, I used a sanding block, gently rubbing it over the flowers to bring out the white core in the paper. It's a cool technique and I love how it turned out! The sentiment is from a fabulous set called Inside Greetings Birthday.
Okay, that's it for me. I hope I've given you a few ideas for using some of the products in this fantastic release! Enjoy the other blog post from all the amazing crafters and don't forget to look for the free gifts!
Happy STAMPtember!
