Hi everyone!
I'm excited to share the fun, new Holiday Stamp and Stencil Set created by Tim Holtz for STAMPtember!
I was lucky enough to receive this set to play with and I had such fun!
We were asked to send our cards to Tim, so he could do a video, sharing some of them. I sent two cards in the mail but for some reason, I only took a photo of one of them - doh! So here it is.
I used the gorgeous stencil that comes in the set, with lots of yummy Distress Inks. I placed the stencil over my watercolor panel, smooshed some VersaMark ink through the stencil, white heat embossed the images and then the fun started with the Distress Inks. The sentiment is included in the stamp set.
After mailing my cards, I decided I needed to play with the stencil again, but this time with a more girly feel. :)
Ahh, Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick always make me happy. And I love pink for Christmas, don't you?
I promise I played with the stamp set too but that's the card I forgot to take a photo of!
This stamp and stencil set are now available at Simon Says Stamp, but it's a limited edition, so ya might want to act fast before they're gone!
Be sure to also check the Simon Says Stamp blog all weekend long! They've got lots of fun planned, with inspiration, videos and a giveaway from Tim!
Thanks for stopping by today! ♥
Hi everyone!
Welcome to my stop on the exciting, Masterpiece Box blog hop with Simon Says Stamp!
If you've been following along, you should've come from Caryn Davies blog. Isn't she amazing?! If you just happened to stop by here, you can find a list of blogs participating in the hop, right here at the Simon Says Stamp blog.
You can also win a Simon Says Stamp gift card too! They will randomly choose one comment from each stop along the hop to win a $25 gift card! That's 22 different winners! Yay!
In case you're wondering what this Masterpiece Box is all about, it's an amazing, fun idea for all of you! The box is on sale at Simon and it's filled with 15, NOT YET RELEASED products, from 10 different, industry leading companies! Is that cool or what?!! Such a brilliant idea, don't ya think? Please note that the boxes are in limited supply, so once they run out, they will NOT be restocked.
I was sent some of the products that are included in the Masterpiece Box to showcase today and I'm excited to share my projects with you, so let's get to it!
First up is a card created using a beautiful stamp set from Hero Arts called, Color Layering Cardinal. I used some soft blue Distress Inks to shade the background but the rest of the card was done with just stamping.
Next, I have a planner page for you. I usually keep my planner pretty simple, with just a bit of stamping here and there. The adorable Penguin Planner and Panda Planner sets from Clearly Besotted are perfect and so fun and easy to use!
I couldn't share this post without using the gorgeous, Oh Happy Day stamp set from Simon Says Stamp! I did a bit of water coloring with Zig Markers on the flowers.
There is also a beautiful die set from Memory Box, included in the Masterpiece Box. It's perfect for using on gift tags for the holidays. And the sentiments on each one are from the Hero Arts Cardinal set I shared above. I plan on writing To: and From: on the back of each tag.
I used some glitter and shimmery cardstock to cut out the dies. Then I did a little layering with the poinsettia portion and added Stickles along the edges for some extra sparkle.
I hope I've given you some inspiration for using some of the products in the awesome, Masterpiece Box! Your next (and last) stop on the hop is the fabulous, talented, Heather Hoffman!
Thanks so much for stopping by! ♥
